"Happiness is a choice" - Quote of the week

               

A quote I've learned from my favourite YouTuber ShayCarl. It really is a choice. I try to remember this all the time, especially when I'm at work because you know...everyone has has bad days at their work but for me recently it seems to be everyday :( It's hard for me to try and not let things get to me for example, if a customer is not happy and gets angry. I know they're not angry at me but when they start t shout I tend to take it personally and I know I shouldn't! Anyway, this week I am going to try and remember this quote and have a happy week :)

Do you have any inspirational quotes that get you through the week? I'd love to read them xoxo

Ootn - Date night!

  

Hey dolls! So unfortunately it's the last day of the holidays for most people today apart from myself who went back to work today but since it was my boyfriends last day here we decided to go out for tea then to the cinema for one last time. Honestly we have totally taken advantage of him being home by going out for tea looooooads, I feel so chubby! :P As cheesy as it sounds I like to call our wee nights out our "Date Night". We had a lovely meal at one of our favourite restaurants and then went to see the new Paranormal Activity film which I thought was okay. 

So yeah I thought I'd share with you what I wore. Just a simple look really, hair pinned back with a few kirby grips (bobby pins) and some eye liner and mascara. The dress is from Primark which I got in the sale for £5!!! This was a while a go though so I'm not sure if they would still have it. I love the colours in it especially the blue and orange and it also has a cute little cut out just under the chest which I think is so flattering. xoxo

Ugh don't you just love that feeling of letting your hair down after it's been up in a high pony alllllll day! It feels soooo good!......Not sure why I'm writing a post about this but just wanted to to express how amazing my head feels right now haha! (Excuse the Tesco uniform :P)

Do you feel the same after letting your hair down? xoxo

                         

Outfit of the day

So it's Friday again woohoo! And since every other day of the week I basically live in my work uniform I've decided that every Friday I'm going to do an ootd post since it's my day off and I get to wear my own clothes (sad I know). So yeah....here's my outfit for today. Nothing fancy just a simple black crop top with a little floral skirt I found in the sale in Newlook. I think it's so cute and the colours are so appropriate for this time of year :).

How I styled my pug dress

Hey! In one of my last posts I showed you my newest purchase which was the GORGE pug dress from Asos and I said I would post how I would style it. I've chosen to just keep it simple but it looks so nice! I've just paired it with a simple pair of black tights and my cute ankle boots which I also featured in a previous post here. I then finished off the look with my leather jacket which I think goes so well with the whole outfit. To see how I've style my leather jacket before click here.

Leather Jacket - Topshop £50.00
Pug Skater Dress - Asos £25.00
       Black Ankle Boots - Newlook £19.99

It's finally here!

Hiyas! Miley Cyrus's new album is finally here :D I couldn't wait for it to come out and as soon as I got into work at 9am on Monday morning I grabbed my copy. I love Miley and I think everyone who is giving her a hard time about how much she's "changed" need to just leave her alone :) Excuse the mess of me in the picture btw, this was taken when I was on my lunch break and yes I sat in my car and listened to the album while I sat and ate my sandwich (sad I know) so don't judge! Haha! I am loving it already and there are so many "BANGERZ" on it it's great! Although I'm not keen on the song she did with Britney. It's not that good.

Out now at Tesco - £10.00

                                                                Track list

Tartan Dress

Helloooo! I just got back from Edinburgh today and done a little shopping while I was there ( I know how naughty of me) and wanted to share with you this amazing little dress I came across. I got this from Internationale where I don't normally shop to be honest but as I was passing it caught my eye so I went in and tried it on. I absolutely love it! I think it fits so well and it's actually a really good thick material so it will last quite a while. I'm going out for a meal tonight so I'm gonna wear it to that. 

Tartan dress - Internationale £16.99

I then started to think about what I would wear on my feet with the dress and thought a cute little pair of boots would go nice with it and for a while now I've been wanting a little pair of black ankle boots so I went into Newlook and came across these. They are so comfy and not expensive at all so grabbed them as they were the only pair left in my size :D

Black ankle boots - Newlook £19.99

                                 

Outfit Of The Day

It's been a long time since I've wore leggings and since it's now coming in to Autumn I thought I'd throw some on today. Paired them with a simple leopard print top and a knitted cardigan both from Primark. This cardigan is so cosy and perfect for this time of year. Oh! I just had a thought.....I can start wearing my UGG boots again yey!!

Leopard print top - Primark
Knitted cardigan - Primark £12
Black leggings - Forever21

Sorry I can't remember how much the top or leggings were :(

Get On Your Dancing Shoes

There is one thing that I love doing so much that I haven't done it in a long time. Dancing. 

Dancing is my all time favourite hobby which I grew up doing. I started off just by going to a dance class once a week where I would show up to the earlier class before my one because my little cousin went to so it made sense for me to go with her and wait. I would be sitting on the bench watching the kids dance just basically waiting for my turn :P. I remember one of our teachers asking me if I would be interested in helping out a bit with playing the music and stopping it when they needed me to and also taking the register and money before the class started. I thought this was great! 

Over time I then got asked how I would feel about actually teaching the class and they were gonna ask another girl who had just joined my class to help. This was amazing to me cause it was my dream to have my own dance class! We did this for a good few years and the feeling I used to get after seeing the kids dance my dance without any help was amazing!

As I got older I decided to try out dance college. The first year was amazing!! It was a hip hop course which was introduced the year I decided to audition which I was so excited for as the school is mainly contemporary and ballet based, so I was in my element! We did different styles of dance including hiphop, street dance, break dance, jazz, contemporary and ballet. After the first year they didn't continue with the hip hop course as people from my class dropped out before the end of year show so this looked like there wasn't enough interest to carry it on. This really upset me. Contemporary doesn't really excite me but I continued on with it and stayed for half of another year. 

I love this photo. Me with my class in our first year at college. I'm 4 along in the top row.

Now I don't dance at all. I miss it so much! So, I am so so so excited to be starting a new street dance class tomorrow and I hope I'm just as good as I was a few years a go and I am up for getting back in shape! It's gonna be tough to start with but I'm so excited! :D 

                    

Outfit of the day

My outfit for today:

A simple long sleeved crop top with a pair of high waisted denim shorts that came with this cool belt that spells out 'KISS' with a pair of black tights and to finish off the look I'm rockin' a pair of cons baby!
