Lost dog, urgent!

    Now this is something completely different from my regular posts but this is just as important. Tonight my auntie has found a terrier mix female dog sitting in the pouring rain near the red rose club (previously the monoco) in Hindley. The dog is quite over weight and has a limp from the access weight it is carrying, with white around its nose and a yellow/brown colour around its entire body this dog seems elderly and is from a loving home. 


    The dog has been picked up by Leigh's cat & dogs home in Lancashire. The lady has said the dog will be staying there for a week being checked over, left on a strict diet and cared for by their local vet. If you know who this dog is, yours, a friend or family member then please either go into the home or please contact them via email or telephone number.     


    For those worrying what will happen to the dog after the week is up, there is no need to panic as the lady who collected her who already owns 3 elderly dogs from the home has said to be willing to take her on if the owner doesn't come forward.

Silver Metallic & PVC

    Being in my last year of high school, it is only natural for the head master to throw a Leavers Do for the entire year, or Prom as it's associated with in America. With all our lasts exams coming up its only appropriate to have this occasion happen afterwards as a huge reward for all our hard work. 


    Considering I've been busy with work myself, not being able to post quite as regular I thought I'd do a little post on my leavers dress, instead of leaving you all abandon. I previously made a post regarding what shoes I am wearing for the day, for those who have not read it a link will be here. The dress itself was not as expensive as traditional leavers dresses are, instead of getting a puffed out, layered dress full of jewels everywhere I opted to something quite diverse. Instead I have purchased a high street dress, from Miss.Selfridge costing only £55, along with that the style is straight up and down, with a pinched waist and a low neckline. 


    This dress is an absolute 5/5 on all aspects, the only problem I could pick up on is the straps are slightly lose, however this enables the paneling under your arms and around your back to have space for movement, preventing a tightness on your skin.


    Another point on this dress, is that it is quite a heavy dress, this is a good point though. The heaviness of the material help to smooth out and lumps and bumps that you would not like on show. Being a size 14, I normally find it hard to find a straight dress that doesn't make me look like a bin bag so to speak, or a straight dress that clings too much on my hips enlarging them beyond their real size.

UPDATE | #5

    I apologize for my lack of posts this week, being piled down with work and deadlines on my back I simply haven't had the time to write a decent blog post without rushing it to make it a very poor standard. I will be having a haul posted this weekend on all the items I bought on my trip to Venice. (venice post here) Along with that will be 2/3 reviews that following week, and I've been working around with an aspiring fashion designer, a close friend of mine for a little interview on how the business works and tips and tricks to get into fashion design. I hope this hasn't been an inconvenience to those who are regular readers, I am to be back on top by friday night. Hope you've all been well!

Ex-Boyfriend

    Came across this watch a couple of days ago among  a variety of old jewellery in my nans house and I've not taken it off since. It's not visible on the photograph but I found out it's by the wonderful designer 'David & Goliath' which made this piece even better than before. 


    I've not idea how much this watch had been and neither does anybody from my family but from previous experience with the company this would not be a cheap watch. If anybody could find this product and inform me on it's value that would be wonderful.


    I used to own quite a few t-shirts and other products from 'David & Goliath' and it's nice to have something again to introduce me into the brand. I hope to purchase more things from this brand in the future.

THIS WEEK | Topshop Wishlist #2

Crystal Embellished Playsuit - £90

    Since the return of Marina and the Diamonds, it appears that high street stores have taken to her new rejuvenated style. As Topshop call it 'Prom Queen Dreams' sparkles and glitter is generously doused on every piece of clothing, a woman's dreams. 

    With summer coming up, this is the perfect look to head out and stock up on a.s.a.p. Bringing back the thick, chunky golden chain with huge glittery charms attached it instantly lifts whatever you are wearing. Another key piece to this style is neon and/or baby pink lipstick and blusher. Even if the over power of glitter or gems is too much for you to pull off, a simple bright lip gives your outfit a whole new look and attitude. 

    And if that's not enough to make an outfit, the classic pearl earring has not returned but resurfaced. Whether it's the traditional oyster shade or pastel blue/pink they suit absolutely anything especially 'prom queen'. 

    Not all of these pieces are extremely expensive either, with sequined shorts at £40 and jewellery starting from only £8.50 this style is feasible to all people without breaking the bank too hard. To be linked to the new look click here, I'll leave some of the pieces below so you can have a sneak peak without going on the website.

New Additions

    With not having a pet for the past two years now, a household decision was made to get a house pet. Now we wasn't fully sure on what animal exactly, till we came across these two lovely pets. As you can see they're two kittens, both are female (that we know of) and are not ready yet to come live with us, but will be in a week or so time. We were able to get both kittens for £80 on discount as we're taking them together. Their father is a tabby breed and the mother is just a domestic cat that has black and white random splodges over its body and head. There's labelled photo's below of the kittens.

     I'm planning on feeding them on Whiskers Kittens sachets, till they're just over one years old to them put them on normal packs of Whiskers. As I am getting the kittens next weekend roughly, I haven't bought everything for them yet however I am planning to stock up on bits and bobs very soon. Before the kittens arrive I will be doing a little kitten haul of all the products I've bought for both kittens as it will be very similar.

     I'm contemplating on whether to do a monthly update on the kittens, explaining how their personalities are, differences in their appearance, injections and diets. I will keep you all updated on whether the cats are being homed soon, as you can tell from the photos these are off a website so I'll be able to take higher quality photos to eventually show you all, being able to pick up features more strongly on both kittens.

Man Of Simple Pleasures

Velociraptor! Artwork

    Today was the release date for Kasabian's new music video 'Man Of Simple Pleasures' off their recent album 'Velociraptor'. Compared to previous videos, this one doesn't include the boys but instead one single male riding a bike. The video is very simple but gives the song all the quality and attention needed. Kasabian has recently finished a UK tour, also performing at Americans Coachella festival along with great acts such as The Horrors and Pulp along with many other great bands. With out giving too much away about the music video, you'll be able to recite the words off by heart by the end of the video.

Venice Trip

    As I said I visited Venice with art for a week during the Easter holiday, the weather was wonderful there and all the little bits and bobs I've bought are very cute and I'll be doing a haul on them soon. Below are some photos that I've taken that I've thrown together, during the holiday I visited Peggy Guggenheim museum and Marcos Square. I did some sketches as well to help with my coursework which I've not scanned into my laptop yet, but I might do later on if I like them. So enjoy the photos.

UO Easter Wishlist

    Contrary to the latest hype of dip dyed t-shirts and colourful shorts, I believe it is all too early to be baring skin as were still in the spring season. Along with this, living in the UK a hot summer is varied each year, leaving spring to be also very unpredictable. All these items are from Urban Outfitters and will be linked down below, keeping things in the light material section I believe this is something just right for the British spring weather. Easily layered with a thick knit cardigan or an anorak, this is the perfect combination of colours to lighten up from the dull browns and grey's of winter.  The shoes give a nice pop of colour lifting the entire outfit to help stand out from the crowd, not just having basic grey leggings. These have glitter reflects in them, making your outfit have an edgy vibe that can be dressed up with a sheer shirt or down with an over sized t-shirt.

Back In England

    So my absence has ended and I'm back in not so sunny England. I arrived home very late last night and not even touched my suitcase to unpack yet. During my time in Venice I managed to pick up a few things that I will eventually show in a mini photo haul, or separately review them. It is quite a diverse selection of miscellaneous items however, from Chanel nail polish to Italian home made pasta. Along with this I will be making a post on my experience in Venice, the weather, markets and transport as Venice is the only country which doesn't allow cars in its centre. 
    I've got some interviews lined up for the next few weeks and I'm debating on doing a give-away just before summer with a selection of products that have been my all time favourites. I will be making a special post very soon on my upcoming leavers do, including my heels (Vivienne Westwood) and dress.
    Hope you've all been well, and I'll keep you posted.

I'm off to travel down to London with my friend Lucy in a few hours, to then catch a flight from Heathrow. I'll be there till Friday night, so I'll be informing you on the time as soon as I can. Hope you all stay safe for the next few days! Ciao!

Blast From The Past Iced Coffee

    Visiting Selfridges yesterday I picked up this little thing, the idea of this is to enjoy coffee on the go. Selfridges have a variety of old style american brands to bring something unique to the British market. Not having this or iced coffee in a long time, I was quite eager to see what this was like. And there are no faults to it, just shaking the carton it is ready to drink instantly. A nice coffee taste that isn't watered down appears on your taste buds, being in Selfridges however the price was quite steep for some coffee, priced at £3.70 however I would consider buying another as the taste is worth the money.

THIS WEEK | Topshop Wishlist #1

    The seasons look for metallic has really hit home with me, and this dress is a key piece that I really hope to buy during the Easter Holidays for ss. Normally I don't enjoy the latest clothes Topshop have to offer, whether they're trying too hard or the prices are too steep. However all these items are reasonably priced and are simple yet look wonderful matched together.

Maxi skirts & windy weather

    Thought I'd post a picture of my outfit today, the weather was quite warm today but a little breezy which made me think a maxi skirt and thin jumper would do wonders to keep me warm and in fashion. My jumper is a nice grey colour with blue speckled areas all around, available from topshop in store priced at £27 roughly, it's a very simple piece for everyday use. However my navy maxi skirt which is from Debenhams (£15) is not available anymore as it was from the christmas sales, its brand is Warehouse so if you have a look on their site you might be able to spot it. Other things such as my belt were past presents so I'm unable to say where they are from.

Vivienne Westwood 'Heart Lady Dragon' Heels

    As I'm leaving high school this summer I shall be attending a Leavers Do, like in American movies this is mostly known as Prom. This is the chance for everyone to get dressed up to the nines to leave lovely memories of each other before going into the work establishment or further education (like myself). Being known to be outside the box in my fashion styles, I decided this was my moment to show my fellow students how daring I can be - by buying Vivienne Weswood heels.    
    These are not just any other Vivienne Westwood shoes however, working alongside 'Anglomania' and coincidentally a design whom I share names with, 'Melissa'. Named the 'Pink/red Heart Lady Dragon Shoes' These are something to blow people away, made out of pvc instantly these leave an unusual thought and feel which is something that is pleasant to the feet. Retailing at £120 with £7 postage and packaging, every detail is not skimmed on. Arriving in 3 individual boxes for extra protection, the shoes were wrapped in two layers of pink tissue paper that had Vivienne's notorious space symbol printed in rose gold. The box itself was also covered with a large space symbol to match the tissue paper and various other pieces. The delivery is automatically made into first class when ordering from Vivienne, ordering on Sunday (baring in mind only sent through on a working class day) I received the heels on the following Wednesday, earlier than high street orders. If you're looking to invest in a high standard of shoe that not only looks great but feels great, then these are the way forward!

Leigh Elliot Photographer Interview

    The wonderful aspiring photographer from Liverpool, Leigh Elliot agreed to do an interview with me over the weekend. Elliot studies photography and has been interested for many years, knowing her over the course of the last year through social media I've seen her interest blossom into something beautiful and amazing. 

Misguided Studded Slipper Shoes

   I recently purchased a new pair of flat shoes for my holiday in Venice next week, ordering them on Sunday with next day delivery I received these early this morning and I shall be ordering from them again. Paying £23.99 for these with free delivery I chose the colour nude as the black was sold out. The only criticism I have is the colour is slightly more camel in person than on the photos.
    The shoes are described as faux suede with studded detail and an almond shaped toe. I have quite large feet that are broad so I was quite worried about the sizing. If you have narrow feet then these shoes will be a very comfy fit, the shoes for a broad footed person do still fit, however if you have only just got into a new size I recommend you go back the size down to make sure they do not slip up and down too much.

    Being suede these shoes are very soft on the feet, the backs are quite sturdy but not strong enough to cause any blisters or cuts around the heel area. Regardless of there little faults, you can't complain for the price, being a knock off of Topshop's studded slipper shoes which you can see here. They match almost perfectly for a more reasonable price.

UPDATE | #4

    This is a quick update, now as I said the previous week I've been sorting out quite a few blog posts in advance as I'm going on holiday on the 9th till 13th. However, unfortunately from taking a lot of photo's for numerous reviews my usb device that transfers these into my laptop has broken. I'm planning on ordering a new one as soon as possible to get things more sorted. 
    I can tell you what will be upcoming though, 17 mascara review, mini haul, nivea make up wipes review, vivienne westwood perfume & shoes review, photographer & aspiring designer interview. I'd like to apologize from the lack of reviews that I've been putting up because of this problem. Hope you've been enjoying the sunny english weather and I'll keep you updated.
