This weeks BUYS

It's 12.30am and I am soooo HOT right now it's no where near funny. I hate humidity! I have decided that insted of laying in bed wishing I was in a cool swimming pool the best think I can do is to use my time effectively... Hence this post:') Yayyyy, I went shopping today with muummaaa, And got some cool shiz-nay! I feel like I haven't got any actual clothing, since I got my disco pants; today was no different. More accessories than actual clothing. Anywayy! Stop blabbing on Ash and get to it!:) Here goes...
I naturally ran straight to the sale items and found these tights. Just tights I know but at only £1 each I thought they were an investment, I really like the colours, particulary the pink ones. I'm thinking about trying a dip-dye on the blue. What'd yah think?
Hat; from a vintage shop £3! 

It also works like this, I've wanted a hat like this for a while but can never justify spending like £12 in Urban Outfitters... I'm so glad I waited for the right hat to come along <3
(Stay tuned for a few piccys of this hat and myself, I imagine it'll pop up in a few of my outfit posts!)

When I picked these up and said 'these are the ones' I could so see that my mum was dying to say'what the bloody hell are they' To be honest I can't blame her.. These earings are big and chavy and ugly BUT I want to see if I can make them look fairly indie. A little project of mine, which I have no doubt will sooner or later become a post!

This I actually didn't buy.. My sister just got back from Venice and she came baring gifts, or rather 'gift'. I love the colours on this braclet! I'm a total braclet fiend I have like a full arm of them... I'll show you my collection sometime!


 A rather mish-mash of items I think!
That's all folks! I'll be posting loads more over the next few weeks so keep on coming back!
Like my blog? Please drop us a follow if you could be so kind:) cheers!

Recent buys,

I have been a very busy shopping bunny, some bargins and some super spends but todays post is all about my bargins, happy reading...
I found this earcuff in international, which actually suprised me as I went in randomly but I actually found some really great things! This was a steal at just £1.99
This is how it looks on, I really like how it hangs, it adds a little edge to any oufit. Loving teaming this earring with red lipstick or bold black eyeliner.




I love this necklace. I was a gift from my boyfriend! The big spender payed a wopping £2 for this bad boy, I do have to say though it's the thought that counts and I'm in loveeeeee with it. I always gets plenty of positive comments about it, tis from a shop in town called 'culture vulture'.
These earrings are actually topshop, I usually try to avoid buying anything overly expensive when it comes to accessorises. But these earrings were actually my prom earings, they were £6.99 which I think was pretty good.


 This was my other earring... I spot a theme occuring ahaha, I'm clearly into my spikes and cuffs at the moment. ThisIis from ebay, it was £1.29. I had a long wait for it but I wear it all the time so it was totally worth it!


Hope you enjoy the pics,

You call this summer?

Well England you've done it again; managed to make this other wise great and bright season particularly miserable, dark and chilly. Congrats to you.  

I always find that picking out an outfit that both looks good and keeps you dry is pretty much impossible. Infact, it is impossible. Not once have I walked into an outdoors clothing shop and thought 'that jacket is bitching'  I more commonly think 'eww.'

I do however have both a Wax jacket and a Trench Coat, so why today did I find myself in my vile festival waterproof? I baffle myself...

Luckly I took some photographs before the downpour yayy. My look is not warm or in anyway waterproof but i'm sure i'll live after all, water drys... eventually!

Enjoy the pics

Caring for your Dr Martens


So if like me you love your Docs you'll want to take good care of them to make sure they last a life time. However I am a teenager and therefore suffer a terrible ailment... Laziness.
Once in a while though I will have a sudden burst to get all my little jobs done, cleaning my Dr Martens is always high on this 'to do list.'

Cleaning your Docs
- Sensitive baby wipes
- Dubbin
- Face pads



Muddy, muddy D.M's
Let the cleaning begin.


Scrub scrub here, scrub scrub there!
After a good old wipe... Clean and a whistle.



Now for the dubbin, it's worth getting some good quality face pads for this part as any loose cotton from cheaper pads tends to stick to the boot and leave a sheep like effect behind!

Finally my Docs have been resroted to their original glory, I can wear them with pride again.

Style Jam

Hello my dears it's finally here...Summer!
Well if you can even call it that, British summers are notoriously cold and drizzly.
Ahh well any excuse for me to trot around with bare legs in a pretty summer dress and I'm all over it. To celebrate me finally finishing my exams, I have decided to plunge myself into the world of blogging.
Welcome one and all, I'll basically be blogging about what I wear, what I get up to and anything else that tickles my fancy. I hope you enjoy reading about my summer and then some...
Ash!
