The man who stole a leopard.

Happy New Year!

It's officially 2015!

Hope you all had an amazing Christmas and a lovely New Year, and that there weren't too many sore heads on the first of January!

I was spoilt by everyone I know for Christmas, as per usual! 

I might do a quick post on what I got, but then again it's not really what I want to do!

I'm 22 now, and Christmas really isn't about what I got anymore, it's about spending time with your family, eating so much that you resemble a potato and basically getting drunk as much as possible during the day!

So we'll see how inspired I feel for a post like that over the next few weeks!

I haven't done any New Years Resolutions, because basically they don't last!

But one thing I have thought about is that I'd like to do a few more outfit based posts on here!

I love shopping/clothes/fashion and I think I have good style and know how to dress myself relatively well, so I'd like to document it a bit more!

It will be difficult to get regular 'outfit' shots when it's not a mirror reflection because I basically live alone and I don't have a proper camera! But when I do, I'll try and bully friends and family into taking a few pictures for me!

So here we go, first outfit of the day post of 2015!

My brother wasn't the happiest about taking these pictures so excuse the potential poor quality!

This was an easy look for running my brother around town and doing errands and doing family visits! It's an mix of Christmas presents, Christmas sale shopping and things that have been in my wardrobe for a long time!

Leather jacket - Dorothy Perkins - £49.00 - £39.20

Leopard Print Top - Zara - £29.99 - £19.99

Skirt - River Island - Old stock (not online anymore! sob - I want a new one)

Tights - Primark - (probably about 3 years old lets be honest who buys new tights)

Ankle boots - Dorothy Perkins - £35.00 - £25.00

Handbag - Jaeger - £59.00 (mine is last year's version of the one in the link, hence why it's a different price than what's online! I got mine at a Jaeger Outlet!)

Rings - August Woods at Argento - £15.00

Do you like outfit posts?

What would you like to see more/less of?

Let me know and I can try my best to satisfy your needs!

Until next time!

I'm going to do 2 wishlists of things that I would like - a basics and a 'going out'/glitzy as it is the season afterall.

Let's go.

1. Animal Print Top - £25.99. 2. Nike Cuffed Beanie - £25.00 £17.50. 3. FOMO T-Shirt - £12.99.

6. Mix Knit Ankle Socks - £4.00. 7. Bibi Knitted Cardigan - £40.00 £18.00.

WARDROBE GOALS.

Stay tuned for my Glitzy/Glamour wishlist.

20 Questions Tag

Hi again guys! Can't believe it's Humpday again already! Busy busy!

I'm back with another tag that I stumbled across online, I'm really enjoying these tags at the minute, it's nice to interact a little bit more! Let's get going then shall we?

1. Thing you cannot leave the house without?

Definitely my phone, I literally couldn't leave the house without it.. It's not necessarily that I'm obsessed with it or anything but I just feel safer knowing I have it with me just incase anything would go wrong!

2. Favourite brand of make up?

With an ever growing makeup collection this is a really hard one! I'll do one high end and one high street.. High street would definitely have to be MUA, I just can't say no to their prices, and the products are generally really good! High end has to be MAC, too many of their products have now become my holy grail so it's really the only choice I can make!

3. Fave flowers?
I'm really not into particular flowers, I don't really know what they are..  I like roses obviously but I tend to think of them as being something you get when you're in a relationship! You'll have seen this pic on my blog from Sunday's post but I recently bought myself some flowers in Tesco as a treat to myself, I don't know what they are, but they're pretty! 

4. Favourite clothing stores?

Dorothy Perkins, Topshop, Boohoo, Primark, H&M.. They're my main shops!

5. Fave perfume?
At the minute it's definitely Glam Jasmine by Michael Kors. It's so nice and easy to wear at any time of the day! I did smell Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs at the weekend and it was beaut, it may be my next perfume!

6. Heels or flats?

I love how good heels look but I hate how they feel.. For me it probably has to be flats, and specifically trainers!

7. Do you make good grades?
I am blessed with quite a photographic memory so I do generally get good grades!

8. Fave colours?
Pink and Turquoise! Still a 5 year old girl inside really ;-)

9. Do you drink energy drinks?
If I'm KNACKERED, and I mean I have to be falling asleep on my feet I would, but as a whole I try not too!

10. Do you drink juice?
I do drink juice, Ribena is my favourite :)

11. Do you like swimming?
Meh, if I had to exercise (which I should..) it wouldn't be my first choice!

12. Do you eat fries with a fork?
I do, I'm a weirdo and I have had the mickey taken out of me a lot, but if I get a takeaway fish and chips.. I have to eat it on a plate with a knife and fork!

13. What’s you’re favourite moisturiser?

Favourite moisturiser definitely has to be my Origin's Make a Difference + Rejuvenating Moisturiser, it's done wonders for my skin and I really notice a difference when I stop using it and use another instead!

14. Do you want to get married later on in life?
Yes definitely, but just not for a longggg, longgggg time. 

15. Do you get mad easily?

It depends on what I'm getting mad about.. With other drivers I get mad easily, I have crazy road rage, but most other things it takes me a while to get annoyed!

16. Are you into ghost hunting?
NOPE.

17. Any phobias?

Ice, freezers, rats, mice.. Those are the main ones. My skins creeping even thinking about it!!

18. Do you bite your nails?
I used to when I was younger but not anymore, one day I woke up and decided to stop and never did it again!

19. Have you ever had a near-death experience?
Thankfully not, nothing major has ever happened me!

20. Do you drink coffee?
I used to be partial to a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato but since starting work at Nestle I'm obsessed now.. Instant coffee, coffee from my coffee machine, iced coffee.. I LOVE IT ALL.

Hope you enjoyed this tag, I thought the questions were nice easy reading!
I tag anyone who reads this to do it and leave me a comment when you've completed it!

Thanks for reading!!

Tuesday Shoesday

Jeepers oh it's Tuesday already!

So, for anyone that already follows me on Instagram, you'll have seen this picture.. For everyone else, two things: 1. Why are you not following me?? (username: rachelvennard) and 2. I am a shoe addict. 

I love all shoes, I love heels, I love flats, I love trainers, I love boots, I love sandals. 

I just can't bloody get enough!!

Last weekend I finally unpacked all my shoes.

37 pairs.

37 pairs.

37 pairs just in England, not including what's at home in Northern Ireland.

Let's all take a moment.

*long pause*

So obviously, I need more shoes? Right??

Well whether it's right or wrong I can't say no to shoes, particularly when they're a bargain..

Check out my new beauties below!

These contrast heels are amazing. 

There's something so summery about white and neon colours together, so as soon as I seen them I was in love!

And you'll never guess where they're from:

Everything5Pounds.Com

So as it's hinted at in the name, on the website EVERYTHING is £5.

Now I can't lie, they're not the best quality shoes I've ever bought, but for one season £5 will do me rightly!

P&P was £3.95 which was a bit pricey, but £8.95 for shoes that River Island are basically selling at £55 suits me down to the ground!

These shoes are gorgeous, really slimming on the calves, and most importantly, actually pretty damn comfy!

I walked around the house most of sunday in these and my tracksuit bottom: guys, form an orderly queue. 

This is my first order from the site and I'm really impressed!

Next time I need a shoe buzz I'll definitely be coming back!!

Have you ever purchased from the website?

What do you think of it?

Are you happy to pay £5 for shoes or do you prefer quality?

Let me know down below :)
