30 for 30 challenge - Day 7

Here is my little outfit from day 7. 1 week down, kinda please with my progress so far. Im actually behind at posting outfits as have another 3 already done, may post them in one big post tomorrow. See how I feel and how much time I have. How are you other ladies enjoying doing this, or just seeing this challenge?
So Day 7/Night 7 as you can see
Outfit made up of 13+17+26
13. Dorothy Perkins
17. H&M
26. George at Asda
+
Peacocks Belt
Vintage Pearls (my bridal ones!)
Dorothy Perkins Earrings (£1 in sale a few weeks ago!)
Armwarmers (can't remember where they are from)
A simple outfit made a little edgier with my leather jacket, which I love!
A few people asked about my denim vest after my last post. I said it was DIY studded although you couldn't see that in the pics, so here is a close up on my DIYing. It isn't finished yet, it's a work in progress.
Some studding on the shoulder.
And some star studs on the front. I still have a plan to eyelet 2 rows up the back and then lace them with ribbon, like a faux corset. I was also gonna dip bleach it so it has a faded gradient colour, but I'm not so sure on that bit at the mo.

Anywhoo...
Here are my fav few remixers from yesterday
I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I saw this dress, is it not totally amazing? Like seriously? The colour, the flowing fabric, just everything about it is perfect! I want it, please!

Don't forget to enter my giveaway ladies. I have some Lancome, Nars and Eyeko products up for grabs.

Please vote for my outfit on Weardrobe, here, here or here. I would love to win some modcloth stuff!

I would also like to ask every one again if they could possibly sponsor me for the Race For Life. Just read my post here to see what I am on about. I shall be running on sunday and am miles away from my £100 target at only £22, which is clearly awful! If everyone of my readers just sponsored my £1 I would hit that £100 in no time at all. I don't like to beg but this is for a really good cause!
Thanks

Frolics in the park! And checking out St Davids 2

Well somebody left me a message a few days ago saying I should show my face in the photos, so today I have finally gotten up the courage to get my sis to take some nicer shots of me and my outfit for today. And you can see my face! I had originally wanted this to be an anonymous blog in case I wanted to bitch about something but after seeing so many of your lovely photos I thought I should change my ways. I had a lovely day out shopping with my little sis who has just moved into halls in cardiff, and I bet I shall be seeing alot more of her now. (She can be my mini photographer when she is about, lol) Other than shopping I have had a rather manic shift in the pub tonight but luckily managed to go the whole shift without any accident to myself or others.




Top is actually a dress from H&M, Skirt is by Tommy Hilfigure, Tights: Primark, Belt and Boots: small shop back home, Cardigan: New Look, Purple gloves: Tesco, Necklace: Shop in one of the many cardiff arcades.

I have realised you can't really see my necklace that well (or my gloves!) so will take a better pic of it another time coz I really do like it. Had it off my parents last christmas and it is just so cute. So that was me, you can (almost) put a face to this rambling blog!

Anyway whilst out in cardiff we had to check out the new St Davids 2 Mall. And its really not bad. I thought it would be bigger considering all the fuss they have made about it, I mean its only a fraction of the size of The Mall in Bristol or Blue Water, so in that respect it was a little disappointing. But it has a great variety of new shops (some are still not open though!) none of which I can afford at the moment but I thought I would take a few pics to show you some of them.




Prize for the cutest dressed shop goes to Butterfly. Although I'm not a fan of the colour pink this little shop is just adorable! Selling really cute little dresses and some stunning bags, at an almost reasonable price for tight purse strings (fingers crossed for awsome after xmas sales!)
















Prize for funkiest clothing display goes to CULT, a store which seems to just stock Superdry clothing (so why they didn't just call it that I don't know). I'm loving the industrial warehouse feel to this place, and the ton of hanging lights is funky as hell. Prices are a little steep, but in line with most high street stores






Prize for most simple and effective store front goes to the apple shop, what more did they need other than one bloody huge, lit up apple! No-one could possibly miss it (even if they wanted to, like me who will have to literally drag my other half past).







And finally I just wanted to show you this one - Paperchase only because I love the huge striped wall! And believe me it really is massive! It is really pretty and colourful and just awesome, makes you wanna go in and spend a fortune on note-lets and cards just so you can stare at that wall for a little longer!


Right so thats all for tonight folks seeing as its 4am! I shall go take more photos of St Davids 2 tomorrow maybe! If you are living somewhere round here it is defiantly worth a gander (but I do warn you its busy at the mo!) So let's see what tomorrow brings.
