O is for Orange...

The best colour ever!! No arguments ;p I just love the colour orange, and all the different shades of it, but my favourite has got to be bright hot orange. Some hate it as it can be a pain to style but I find I can match it with anything!

My favourite orange item has got to be my Michael Kors handbag that my three best friends bought me for my 21st! It’s huge, and I fill it all the time I carry so much unnecessary stuff around with me! It goes great with my usual leggings, also jeans and skirts, and really well with cobalt, bright blue! I'm not going to lie, I wear it with everything, I couldn't care less whether it matched or not, I just like it too much! Ha, joking aside here are other items I have which sport the great colour!

Below in the image is what I use as my walking jacket which was featured in my ‘G’ post, I get too hot when I go walking up in the hills so I don't like big coats, this is really thin so it’s good, plus it’s waterproof…and I figure if I ever need saving by the mountain rescue people they will spot me a mile off glowing on the green hill face!!

I’ve even matched the colour with some accessories, I bought a watch off eBay for the bargain price of £1.76 it did take like 3 weeks to come from China, but I have no qualm waiting for that price!


And with summer nearly here it’s close to time to get my favourite orange bikini out, with an orange sarong and I can’t forget the orange beach towel and beach bag!! I also have orange heels and a gorgeous little orange dress that I got for a bargain in Asda! I mean I am that obsessed with orange I even have an orange IPhone wire! I recently read a blog post on Viva Epernay that featured an orange lippy that I think I may have to invest in because it looks fab on her.

Retail Therapy, Me Time

Okay so I have been feeling a bit down over the past couple of days so I figured it was time for some retail therapy and me time! There is no better pick me up than treating yourself…I started my afternoon getting my nails done at USA Nails in Stockport, then I had to pick up some birthday presents and a mother’s day present for my mama bear! I did great with these but I can’t post the gifts until they have opened them because they read my blog! 

I then got to treating myself, I started in Blue Inc. as this was where I picked my brothers birthday present from, I got a new ‘twisted’ beanie and a gorgeous night sky dress. I moved onto Primark then, I always get really random things when I go in here and as I didn't need anything other than new black socks you can tell! I got socks, and thinking of the dress I had just bought I got some black tights for it and then a silver pointed statement necklace, I'm loving jerseys at the moment so I couldn't resist this vest! And the sunglasses were £1, that’s right £1 each, so I had to buy 2 pairs of course!! So here is my haul…




Nails £15
Blue Inc: Dress £5, Twisted Beanie £6




Primark: Vest £6, Necklace £3, Socks £3, Tights £2, Sunglasses £1
