Every now and then my boyfriend and I have little dates where we go to a restaurant and split the bill or whatever, we don't do it often because were both students and it costs so much money to eat out these days so its kind of a big deal when we do.

                       
                   

                     

Spiked Headband - Urban Outfitters.

I wore a Paisley shirt i got from urban outfitters with a leather-top dress over the top so just the collar and arms were showing and paired it with tights and a denim thrift store jacket, i also accessorized with the cute spike headband from an Urban Outfitters sale i went to back in January.




We decided to go to TGI Fridays in Meadowhall this time because we wanted to treat ourselves a little rather than choosing the cheapest place we can find. I had the most delicious Jack Daniels Salmon, because I'm pescatarian its sometimes harder in american food places because they base the menu around burgers and steaks (TGI's do too its just a more diverse range), the salmon came with cheesy mashed potatoes and Broccoli (heads up if you haven't tried Jack Daniels sauces then do, like as soon as possible its amazing). Dan had the Black and Blue burger which is basically a grilled burger with blue cheese. I also had a mocktail, I had the San Francisco (Cherry, Citrus and Soda) and it was amazing, sweet and refreshing with a hint of sour. For desert we shared a chocolate fudge cake and overall the food was truly amazing! our server was polite and sweet and the atmosphere was incredible too, we were sat right above the cool bar area where they have waiters doing cocktail tricks and making drinks.Our receipt came on a little green tray adorned with cute 3D butterflies. It came to around £20 each which isnt so bad considering i paid for the desert and my food and Dan bought drinks and his (plus through the week in some places they do two courses for £9.99).

Worlds Best Deal!

So I don't usually shop online for make-up because I usually prefer to try it out on my hand before I commit to buying anything but.....I JUST GOT A MAC EYE-LINER IN SMOULDER FOR £3.70. I am so very excited about this purchase, I got it off a trusted seller on eBay under "buy it now" and wow! never have i ever seen a better deal. I was looking for presents for my sister Kariss and could not resist that price, I'm only a little worried that it wont be genuine or it wont be good quality but the website assures it is.

When it arrives ill do a review on it and on the quality of the product as-well as the seller and the time it took to get here and such.

Share your most exciting bargain purchase with me in comments :)

Ins-and-Outs of: Vintage Store Shopping.

Vintage stores are popping up all around Britain and from my experiences today i can see why.

Today my sister and i visited the Blitz Vintage store in Spitalfields, London, with a 20% student discount and a high reputation amongst the Londoners themselves I had to try it out. The layout of Blitz is 100 times better than what i expected from a vintage store as most of my local vintage stores are very "search-through-a-pile-for-hidden-gems" where-as Blitz' items were all categorised according to style, type and label. Neckerchieves and scarves were in suitcases at the front whereas clothes and home-wares were in the back, downstairs are the sales (a real steal, i got a pair of brown leather loafers for £5) and men's clothes, shoes and bags. Although some items can be a little pricey (a particularly gorgeous leather backpack at £60) its mostly quite cheap and for what you get and the name brands its definitely worth it. After a couple of hours of aimlessly marvelling at the fashions on show i ended up with a Barbour tartan blazer with a suede collar and sleeve turn-ups for £30, A Denim with leather collar Levi Jacket for £38, Brown leather loafers (marked down from £35) for £5, and a pair of size 1 white converse for £20. Overall the quality of the clothes was top notch and there was plenty more in the store i would have bought had i had the time or money and its definitely worth getting yourself down there if you want some good name-brand clothing on the cheap or home-ware such as typewriters,bottles and signs. A small walk down the road took us to a large open market of food stalls, Malaysian pancakes and clothes, the stalls we stopped at were a sunglasses stall (very gaga-esque) and a cheap dress stall from which i bought two dresses i had seen in the high street store new look and for more than half price! all dresses were £12, another bargain added to the bags.
