Labels: Accessorize, Office, SalesTitle post: Florence and the machine There are so many sales on at the moment! I've bought far too much this week, it's likely that some of the stuff I bought a few days ago will be going back. I bought a really pretty coat from River Island a few days ago, a coat, in July. I don't know why. And four pairs of shoes. For no reason. It's really bad, but I don't mind. Here are a few things which I bought today..The sales are amazing in most places, but when Accessorize have 70% off, I buy everything I don't need; but thats really pretty. I got these babies which I've wanted for months, but just couldn't justify buying them full price."Amour" heart chain: was £6.00, bought for £1.80Swallow chain: was £8.00, bought for £2.40Sailing boat pendant, was £6.00, bought for £1.80They also have the £10.00 mixed cluster earring packs for £3.00! I got this cute tea-pot set with cupcakes and teacups, it will look cute for work :)
The leopard print pumps are from Office and only cost £5! They were £18, but the prices in Office have been cut quite dramatically, so you'll get some real bargains in there! I love leopard print but sometimes it can look a bit cheap - I like these because they have the cute little faces on too aswell as the print. A bit of a random post, I know, just pleaseeee go down to Accessorize before the good sale stuff goes! x
Labels: Accessorize, ASOS, British, Dorothy Perkins, Fancie, Miss Selfridge, Missguided, Office, River Island, Royal Wedding, TopshopI heard somethings happening tomorrow? Someones getting married? Who knows.. I love all of the cheesy royal-wedding merch, toaster bags to condoms (wtf), I think it's all brilliant. I'll be watching the wedding tomorrow - but only to see what Kate's dress is like and who designed it!The whole of the world are going mental about the wedding and Britain, so I felt like I should join in! Instead tomorrow, I'm going to my friend Amy's house to drink Bucks Fizz and eat Trifle and Shortbread! Here's a few of my favourite British-inspired items. 
Are you going all-out-British tomorrow? Tea party? Whatever you do, steer clear of toastie bags and Kate & Wills garden gnomes! (Yes, they're both official merchandise)...Love, Ruth x
Happy new year, you lovely lovely people! As we know, i'm a terrible blogger (sorry) so, one of my new years resolutions is to blog more! And to kick-start this.. I'll be doing a giveaway! Finally! Labels: Accessorize, GiveawayI hope you all had a great new year - and 2010 in general. I definitely did (sorry if you don't want to read all of the boring stuff about what i've done in the past year - scroll down m'dear). 2010 has really been my year, i've loved it. I managed to get decent exam results, bought my beloved Macbook and SLR, went to college, cut my hair off.. twice.. got my nose pierced.. had an amazing boyfriend for the whole of 2010, and got a job.. I'd go on but i'd really rather not bore you. I'm hoping to make 2011 even better than 2010, with a few new year's resolutions (which I probably won't keep, but hey). Anyway - GIVEAWAY! Sorry it's nothing major, but I honestly didn't know what to put on! I hope you like it!

It's November already! Once November's over.. It's December.. so basically Christmas! Eeeep! I've already seen mini Christmas trees in Debhanams, and can't decide whether that's good or worrying. How was your halloween? Mine wasn't as eventful as i'd imagined it to be, but i'm going to a nice big one next weekend (dressing as Mario ;)!) Here's the pumpkin me and my boyfriend carved: Labels: Accessorize, Halloween
Anyway - Who loves Accessorize? Or should I say, who doesn't love accessorize? (no-one? -i thought so). The only problem being, it's so expensive! But so good. There are 2 Accessorize shops where I live, so it's hard not to rummage around when your in there, and I rummage for broken bits and bobs. I picked up these babys. Russian Doll Pendant - £6, Butterfly Pendant - £6, Pearl necklace - £10. £22? Nah, 90p. 
I just fixed them up with a needle and thread, took a while but hey, it's worth it! You can slightly see the black thread on the pictures, but it's mostly at the back, where nobody looks!£22 or 90p? Next time your in, look for the broken bits and bobs!!Russian doll pendant - 20p, was £6Butterfly pendant - 20p, was £6Pearl necklace - 50pP.s, Happy Belated Halloween!Love, Ruth xxx
I love Accessorize. It's certain to say that they have the most beautiful jewelry ever. And i mean ever. Before, i was never really too fussed about Accessorize, i always thought it was overpriced - until i bought a few things from there.. and realized how amazing the items truly are. In need of a fashion fix, i browsed their website for a few hours (...and then thought that i actually have things to do haha!) and made a collage of their prettiest pendants.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, 'love at first sight' is definitely true. I love the 'i love you' envelope (my friend Phoebe has this), the ring and lipstick one, and the NY one. But then again, i love them all. Wow, i overused the word 'love'. I do though. Ruth loves it fucking all hahaha!
Grab em' while you can to welcome the summer with open arms. Pair any with a baggy tee, shorts and gladiator sandals. Instant summer success.

Definitely get yourselves shopping, there are some really good sales. I almost bought a navy blue velvet bodycon style dress, but didnt. And it was only a tenner, from Ark. I think the best sales are in River Island, Accessorize and Republic, the jewelry is gorgeous. Although i really love sales, it hurrrrrrrrrrts to see the presents you've bought for people for Christmas half price! Aaaagh.
Happy Saturday! Have a lovely weekend

Throughout the cold wintery month, we all need something to cheer us up before Christmas! And I think the best thing for that would be pearls - i love them at the moment. From the Lily Allen Chanel shoot, i've really liked them, and since i saw the Vivienne Westwood pearl necklaces, i cant get enough of them. I went into town today, and visited Accessorize, and they have some beautiful jewelry, a bit pricey for my price range, but still.. I think that they have the prettiest jewelry. Here's some of the beauties that i saw.. Labels: Accessorize, Fashion, Highstreet, Pearls

Layered Faux Pearl Necklace - £12
Abi Eclectic Bow Necklace - £14
All from Accessorize.They have a much wider choice of things in their stores, so get yourselves down and take a look! xxx
