Just a very quick one! Sorry for the lack of posts recently, doing art graphics AND photography at A2 is absolutely killer. Deadlines are tomorrow! Got a lot to get doing tonight, which is probably why I should stop looking around on look.co.uk on my '5 minute break' (it's turned into at least an hour and half), but I just saw this and it's too good not to share. Guess which S/S12 collection this is from? Primark. Seriously. LOOK AT THOSE WEDGES. Primark. PRIMARK?! Can't wait to get back shopping again.Check out the full collection HERE.I'll update with you with some of the new illustration i've done recently for my final piece (it's floor to ceiling... bit of a joke to carry around) and I've got some treats to share with you all, plus a little giveaway! As soon as these horrible deadlines are gone, I'll get back on it I promise. x

Mid-season sales are my favourite. Not that I need anymore shoes (at all), I just couldn't resist any of these. Chances are that I'll wear them is very slim... but they do look very beautiful on my shoerack. 
I can't decide which are my favourites! I loved the 50s style peep-toe wedges so much I bought them in two colours.. and at £3! SERIOUSLY, £3. Nearly had a heart attack in the middle of Primark. And I was only on my hour lunch break at work, and came back with two huge Primark bags (bought some bags, some tights, and a few other things that I don't really need). Lucky me! The other pairs which are from River Island, I bought on Friday. Massive crazy sale on there, and online too. I love those boots, but I'm still a little unsure of them. I might take them back and just save up for a really gorgeous pair, I've got my eye on a few in Topshop. I've wanted a pair of subtle creepers for a while, but I've been a bit cautious to buy them, unsure what I'd wear them with! I saw this pair half price in River Island, and loved them. They're so comfy, and add a few extra inches to me without the pain. And in mustard, win win situation. They had them in a few other colours too, so grab them whilst they're in stock!What do you think of these boots? I've got a 28 days return on them... So I've got plenty of deciding time...
Labels: Charity Shop Finds, HM, Perfume, PrimarkSorry about the depressing post before, I've had the worst week ever. On the plus side, I've handed in my Art, Graphics and Photography - so i've got a lot more free time to do things.. like post.I went into town yesterday, and had a look in a few charity shops, and picked out some gems. I really don't know why everyone doesn't shop in charity shops, they're amazing! I picked up this gorgeous sheer plum shirt, for £3.99!
The sleeves look really nice rolled up, or buttoned at the wrists. I can't believe it was so cheap! I rummaged around, there were lots of things I wanted to buy but didn't, so headed to the till when I saw this... 
Diesel: Fuel for Life, only £4.99! It's 50ml, and completely full, with the box. I really love the lace bottle, and it smells gorgeous. Couldn't believe my luck!And from H&M...
Horse book pendant necklace: £3.99Mix of rings: £2, was £5.99, but one was broken! They're so pretty, and quite a few were broken in my H&M in Sheffield, so have a look in yours, i'm sure they might be some broken too.Opening purse necklace: Primark, £2 i think?
And I finally got my hair cut again! It was getting a bit combover-mullet like (not a good look), so went to Hair Kandi in Sheffield and got it cut short again. I really love it, and it only takes 5 minutes to dry and straighten it! Very random post I know, I've got some more goodies to show you on the next post too! :) Love, Ruth x
Labels: Easter, GUESS, HM, Holidays, M, Primark, Toy Watch, TurkeyI've not blogged for about a month again, surprise surprise. I'll do a little update, it's pretty boring but I do honestly have reasons why I've been so absent, feel free to scroll down :)The past two weeks I went on holiday to Turkey and the weather was rubbish so I didn't get the tan I really wanted, but it was lovely to get away for two weeks and chill out a bit. The title of this post is one of the songs from my favourite film, Labyrinth. The one with David Bowie in, if you haven't seen it, you really need to! It's honestly amazing. I'm ill today so I've been watching lots of films, including Labyrinth, Sex & The City and Eclipse. All of my college deadlines were just before the Easter holidays, and with them all being arty it took so much effort which I didn't have, leaving me completely uninspired to blog :( I've also become a vegetarian! Not because I think it's cruel to eat meat because I do love my bacon sandwiches on a Saturday morning, but because I'm really picky about what I eat meat-wise as it is, I don't eat it off the bone or if it's bloody or anything.. and I only like chicken anyway! It's going well so far and I'm eating a lot more fruit and stuff, so we'll see how it goes. I changed my nose ring to a stud, and decorated my study all floral and pretty. Anywaaaaay...With the weather being so lovely in England, I went to the park the other day in shorts with no tights! I think summer may well and truly be on it's way, and if it stays like this for the whole summer, I will be a very happy person. 
Hate these pictures above, but they're the only ones which were decent lightingDenim sleeveless shirt: £9 (I think!) - PrimarkChiffon shorts: £12.99 - H&MEarrings: (Came as pack of 2) £1.50 - PrimarkBow headband: £1.50 - PrimarkBracelets - From TurkeyGUESS clutch - £60 The Guess bag is my new favourite. I bought it at the airport on the way back from Turkey, and for it for £60, but on the website it's £75. Duty Free = Heaven. It's bamboo with a lovely lilac patent bow. I saw it and fell in love with the bow, it's so cute. It's really handy too, because it's just like a huge purse, it's got all the card slots and a coin part too. It makes me love it even more because I got it for such a good price!
I also got these.. fake, but they look so real it's untrue
And this.. again, 'totally real'
Completely random post, I know, hopefully I'll try to get some more regular posts done!I hope you've had a lovely Easter! Love, Ruth x
Currently listening to:Hey, soul sister - Train Hello! Sorry it's been a week. How've you all been? I've had a pretty good week - got my AS exam papers issued. To anyone whos doing graphics, photography or art, HOW SHIT ARE THE QUESTIONS?! I don't know what I'm going to do.. if i fail.. I'm blaming it on dull questions. Also - there was a huge Topshop sale. It's fair to say I went a little bit crazy after going to Starbucks on Friday. I didn't even know there was a mid-season sale! I guess it's that awkward time between winter and spring. Remember my previous post about Peter Pan collars, and how all my favourites were from Topshop? ALL 4 OF MY FAVOURITES WERE ON SALE! I meant to post about them today, but the weather is so bad at the moment I thought i'd wait for a better time and get some with a bit better lighting! Anyway, with it being that awkward time between seasons, it means all of the new collection for S/S2011 is being previewed! I managed to get these pictures from Look, and you won't believe where they're all from! I couldn't, anyway..
What do you think? I love the 2-in-1 chiffon dress, and the american star jumper just above. It's so similar to Tee and Cake's version from Topshop for £30, which i've been lusting after for a while. Ooh, also the camel and floral 50s style collar dresses, and at £15 each.. I might buy both. It's Primark's S/S 2011 collection, and I absolutely love it. What're your favourites? I do have to say though - Primark's prices are going up each collection, but I guess it's still cheaper than buying things from River Island or Topshop. I promise I'll be posting again soonLove,Ruth xo
2nd post in a week - i'm getting back into this :) I nearly bought the floral peter pan collar dress from Topshop yesterday! It was so tempting. I planned on saving my money - but; ended up spending pretty much the same price as the dress - £30 - on random stuff. I have a tee from Topshop - well; it's a Tee And Cake vest, and I love it. It's of RUN DMC; you might have seen it in there. I can't stop wearing it, but £22 for a vest is a lot!I went into Primark - and decided to make my own. It's easy, you should do it!
The t-shirts were £3 each - and i'd pay about £15 for these! I literally cut off the sleeves (and the hem) and the hemming at the bottom and around the neck; and then stretched and pulled it to make the edges roll, and then sliced bits in with my scissors :) They look so nice with a pretty black lace bra underneith :) Topshop, on the cheapI love Primark.Obviously - in Primark it's necessary to go around the whole shop - so also made a trip to the accessories section, and went a bit crazy when I saw all of these pendant necklaces. The pendant necklaces were £1.50 each - and the bracelet was £2. I have a good feeling that they're going to sell out, there exactly the same as the accessorize ones! Grab them now! x
How was your weekend? Did you do anything good for bonfire night? It's just a quick post because the other day I was feeling very wintery, and just wanted to show you these awesome leopard bow knee-high socks that I got for £1.50 from Primark in London! Look around for them in your nearest shop, i have a feeling there going to sell out fast! Labels: My outfits, Primark
Trench Coat - New Look, £20, was £35Vintage Shirt - Rokit Vintage of London, £5, was £15Socks - Primark, £1.50
Hello lovelies! The weather has been gorgeous these past 2 days, it's put me in such a good mood! How are you all this weekend? I'm supposed to be in Egypt right? My mum screwed up big time.. She forgot to check if my passport was actually in date, to find it wasn't. Nice one. So, my mums in Egypt and I'm in the 'beautiful' England. Yay.. But, on the plus side of it, it means that i can go into school to get more revision done, which will work out better in the long run. Pretty gutted!
