So I think you guys have guessed where I am already!!

Thank you all soooo much for the holiday well wishes, you are all so lovely to me!

We decided to go to New York a little last min as I wanted to be doing something fun on the 1st year anniversary of my Fathers death. He was such a fun dad and I just wanted to do something happy to remember him. So we have booked a show for Monday and a posh restaurant to raise a nice glass of fizz for him (although he wasn't posh and didn't drink fizz he did LOVE to eat!).

Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Peace & Love from NYC (I LOVE saying that!!)

Hat - TK Maxx
Red Sheer Blouse - Primark
Red Bobble Jumper - Primark
Red Skinny Jeans - Primark
Leopard Print Chelsea Boots - TopShop
Bag - St Johns Market Liverpool
Watch - River Island
Bracelets - Primark
Broach - Vintage (was my Nanas)

WOW that was a lot of Primarks!

So I decided to try colour blocking with just one colour!

What do you think?

I am sold! I love the finished look, although girls and boys, you do have to be brave to wear an outfit like this, as people seem to think that because you stand out from the crowd, that gives them the right to talk LOUDLY about you to your face!

I am however used to this, as since i dip-dyed my hair people talk about me loudly everywhere I go! It keeps my friends and I amused, if nothing else!

If you do give the colour block a go please send me some pics or a link!

Happy Hump day everybody!

Love & Peace

My Outfit
Bowler Hat - Primark
Leopard Print Leather Biker - Asos
Faux Leather Trousers - Primark
Blouse - Primark
Studded Boots - St Johns Market Liverpool
Bag - St Johns Market Liverpool
Watch - River Island
Silver Bracelets - QVC
Charm Bracelet - Tiffany
Cross Chain Ring - Asos
YSL Arty Look Ring - Ebay 

Captain Bob's Outfit
Adidog hoodie - Ebay

These are my BARGAIN faux leather trousers from Primark of course (oh I am sooo predictable!) for £15 these are a flipping steal!

They fit really well, but with most leather trousers there is not much give in them, so putting things in my pockets was a little bit tricky, and they are not so easy to sit down in!!! I definitely WON'T be doing squats in these bad boys, but they served me VERY well for a night out to the Tesco SS 2012 preview!

Forget double denim, Leather Layers are the new trend, well thats what I am saying anyway!

Hope you have all had a great weekend!

Peace & Love

Firstly I must say a massive THANK YOU to F&F for my invite! We had such a brilliant evening! Also wanna thank my gorgeous friend Sarah for taking these photos for me .. mwah x

What do you think of the SS collection? The prices range from £8 through to £30, YES its true!! I didnt see a single price over £30. Music to my penny saving ears!

The collection is all pretty fabulous really, there were a couple of items were the fabric quality let them down but that was literally about 2 items! The rest I was REALLY impressed with ... looking forward to warmer weather now!! Bring on the summer!

It was lovely to meet some other bloggers! Please go and check out their blogs there are some real gems amongst them!

Looking forward to meeting some more today at the London Blogger Christmas Meet! 

Also if any of you are on instragram my user name is "rainbowsandfairydust" ... come find me I will be sure to follow you back! LOVE that App!

Hope you all have AMAZING plans for the weekend!!

Love & Peace
