Caught the co-ord bug

In nine days I'll be on study leave, two exams down, and a whole lot more free time after wednesday,

man i miss blogging so much!

So today i popped into town to grab some shoes for a 40th bbq on Monday,

how hard is is to find some chunky sandals?! apparently mission impossible..

 i went into every shop i could think of!

So feeling a little deflated i decided to have a little look through Topshop,

i went straight to the sale rack, so the good intentions where there..

but..

then i saw the 'last chance' rack, and normally i never even look there,

but it all looked so bright and summery i thought i'd have a little browse..

and bam! a pink neon co-ord set

what a little slice of heaven!

I really really really wanted it when it was online, but it sold out, and i had no money, etc..

..so the top and the shorts are a size bigger than i normally go..

but nothing a little needle and thread can't fix!

I just really had to get it, oops!

bye for now..

I'm going to leave the blogging world for a month or so..

exams and deadlines are too close,

and I'm constantly glued to reading all these fab blogs!

So i think it's best to take a break for a while..

please don't forget to vote me in the bloggers style awards (if you like reading my blog)

* you can vote once per device i believe..

It would mean the world to come back to that amazing news..

I really want to be able to go to Uni, get a degree and make a living off blogging..

we can all dream.. and little (well MASSIVE in this case) thing like winning
 'best under 18's blogger' 
would mean that one step closer to my little dream...

Please, if you have a spare minute of so, and a spare email or two..

please click here and vote

I'll still be reading the lovely comments from you guys through my email..

but no outfits or chatting, sorry!

I'll be back, exam free, youtube hopefully on the horizon, and tonnes of new posts for you guys!

See you in a bit

Charmaine

* just a little wishlist from the sales currently on.
I wish i could shop right now
but I'm going to be good :(

Ooh!

One quick question..

does anyone know about what's happening with the 'Company style bloggers awards'?

I was short-listed, WOOHOOOOO..checked out the page etc..

and now it says page not found? 

Is the voting up and I've missed asking your guys for help?

Or is there another link? (please let me know if ya'll know!)

Now for an little haul,

kindly all evolved around store credits and gifts, 

because we all know the situation of my broke-ness 

(believe it or not I'm a lit student.. broke-ness, oh dear..)

And one last thing before i forget!

Motel has 25% off everything all this weekend,

all you have to do is type the code 'charmainec' at the checkout.

Perfect time to grab some spring goodies!

An outfit post with some scenery

Yesterday i went to London with my family,

it was an early start, beautiful weather, gorgeous food, 

(believe it or not i didn't wear this coat most of the day, it was too hot!)

I just love the buzz that London has,

so many people, so many styles, all rushing about.

Convent Gardens is probably my favourite place,

 there's just so much people watching potential!

(ina  non creepy way..)

We spent the morning looking round some shops,

my parents treated me to a beautiful bikini (below)

because I'm broke wahhhhhhhh

then we had dinner in a cute Italian restaurant, went to watch thriller the musical,

and spent the rest of the evening walking for hours on end to different landmarks, taking in all the sun.

I've promised myself that one day i will live within the midst of all this craziness,

one day!

SheLikes Clothing

Last week i was kindly sent this georgous kimono from SheLikes Clothing

Now I am a huggge kimono fan, 

it instanstly turns a plain outfit interesting

but most of mine are winter-suitable..

!Problem solved!

How beatiful is this print?

I can't wait for the UK to warm up so i can prance about all day everyday in it!

I love how it slants down to a longer length,

and the tassle detail above makes this item for me!

It's silky, has a long collar/fold all the way down the item, 

all these little details, I'm a sucker for them!

SheLikes have a gorgeous collection of clothes,

and despite how cheap the prices, the qauality is amazing!

Tops start form £6, shorts £15, dresses too!

Thankyou SheLikes Clothing

Missguided blogger event

This time last week (i think, bad memory, oops!)

I was kindly invited to the Missguided Blogger After-party, by the lovely Sara

(check out her amazing blog here)

She was so lovely, and at the start had a hard time hearing her because of the music, 

and *gahhh i was such a fool/slightly blogger star-stuck!

*major blogger-struck by everyone there*

but i hope i didn't come across too weird!

Before hand i met up with Tigerlily, who was also so lovely!

And honestly i was so scared before, I'm really not the most confident person around new people..

but it was great, and tigerlily is lovely, and her blog? amazingggg!

We got there a tad late, after direction problems etc..

so sadly missed out on the miniature food that seems to have been posted around..

dayumm!

but we did get there in-time for the 'customizing table',

where you could pick up some freebies and DIY and then take them home, woo!

slightly butchered mine, so hopefully going to get my little sister to save it on thursday with her sewing skills

*fingers crossed* and then i can post it up!

They also had a chance where you could style their models too..

Anddd! it's where part of the kings speech movie was filmed! 

Love a bit of Colin in that!!!

I've definitely underestimated Missguided, and their new S/S collection is stunning!

so much crochet and dip dye, pastel colours, neons, leather, all so purdddyyy!

I can't wait for it to hit online

 (some bits and bobs have already i believe/well it looks S/S stuff to me!)

And the quality of clothes to pricing is beyond ridiculous!

It's so cheap!

(in comparison to high-street pricing lately, and still amazing, amazing, amzingggg!)

Check them out, and keep an eye out on what's to come!
