Shopping on the interweb

Although I rarely have the money for it because my car eats money, I on occasion enjoy having a little moocharoo 'on the line' as many an old person would say. There are many magical places that this can take place, but I often would go on the websites of the stores I can get to in my local big town or city. HOWEVER, I have more recently realised that I can use the internet to my advantage in finding my dream outfit! Kind of like having a personal shopper that doesn't care that you're in your onesie with no make up on and a homemade face mask. Or eating chocolate spread out the jar.

This ladies is now all taken care of via the internet, something which for many (me included) is needed as much as Oxygen and H2O. This sounds like I have only just discovered internet shopping, which would make me a complete idiot and you might be questioning my age about now. THIS IS NOT THE CASE.

A few months ago I discovered a little website called 'shopstyle' which has CHANGED MY LIFE. No joke. Sometimes I want to look for something really obscure (like a dress covered in lemons for example- this is actually true) or specific but I can't be bothered to flick through every shop, because when it comes to online shopping do you ever find that you forget certain shops exist? Okay here is a few screen shots of me searching for something on it so you get the idea...



I might have told a bit of a porky here, well not exactly, this is how I found the dress but House of Fraser don't sell it anymore to my knowledge...
This dress was £28 and it is by Izabel London at House of Fraser

When life gives you lemons... WEAR THEM.

My face when I found the dress!

 Just wanted to share my knowledge with the world to make buying things even easier than it already is!

That's it really!


Some chick doing it better than me... This was my inspiration for the dress, seen on www.laurenconrad.com, skirt is from Alice + Olivia.

Welcome to my online articulated thought process...

The human mind is an incredibly strange and wonderful place. In the past couple of years; my own internal world has changed greatly, dragging with it new outlooks on life about who I am, and what it means to be me. 
I've learned to just do what I want (within the law) and not really give a s**t, it's liberating.

I have come to the conclusion (for now) that the 'adult' (HA) brain is something which changes everyday, and we just have to kind of roll with it. It has taken me a total of:

1 life changing trip to live abroad for three months,
2 applications to UCAS (the British university application system),
9 months on a uni course I hate just because I was afraid of changing my mind,

AND a whole load of mini breakdowns in between to realise that it is okay to just be you, whatever that is. This blog's purpose is for me to go through all of the enhancements to my 'adult' self; whether that be beauty, profound philosophical thought (unlikely, but a girl can dream, right?) and general things that I end up getting up to on my little life journey. This is not a serious blog, but I do have a slight tendency to go slightly trippy and deep with no other substance than my own untidy thought process. That's it really.

Furthermore, if you want another little nugget of reading joy, check out  justmylittlelifeandme.blogspot.co.uk not only because she is my best friend, but also it is a rather lovely read! 


P.S. If you get a chance to drink out of a jam jar: do it. It's more life changing than any old waffle I can write about.
