Black Friday bargains

Of course I got dragged into the Black Friday bargains. I told myself so many times don't do it, you don't need anything, its a trap aaaaand I failed miserably. AND there wasn't even a massive discount on any of the items I bought, but still managed to get roped into the madness.

On the bright side I get to share some new clothing with you all.

Half of my purchases are from my go to shop ZARA! My first purchase some may think was inspired by the famous Bianca from EastEnders...

I can assure you It wasn't and I just fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. Originally it cost £60 but I got it for £47.99 which in my eyes was sooooo worth it.

I teamed my metallic bomber with one of my new tees also from Zara. I bought a couple of tees just for the sake of it as they were going so cheap.

Anything with text on/embroidery is a must have in wardrobe right now and I also thought this tee would be perfect for any season. I bought this top in a large so its slightly oversized.

 I got this one for just £4 cant go wrong with that!

Now the 2nd best bit the choker. How amaze is it!? I got this from Topshop as they had 30% off it so I got it for something silly like £8. BARGAIN! They still have loads in the Bluewater Topshop and have now got 50% off so grab one while you can.

The 2nd tee I purchased had similar sort of text type on it so I think I'm feeling the grunger vibes. This tshirt is stated as oversized but I still bought it in a large as I like the baggy look. It's black and white so will go with literally anything and a perf tshirt for those slobby days.

This beaut of a choker was also purchased from Topshop. It was the perfect match for this super casj outfit bringing a bit of colour and glitz to the rocky tshirt. There are still some of these available in Topshop Bluewater so grab one to mix up with your whacky chirstmas jumper!

Chopping my locks for The Little Princess Trust

So I finally took the plunge on Friday and chopped off my hair eeeeek. It was also for a great cause. I donated my hair and raised money for The Little Princess Trust. A charity that provides real hair wigs free of charge to boys and girls across the UK and Ireland and have sadly lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses.

My best friend lost her hair due to cancer treatment when we was only young so I know how much this would mean to a child going through this awful experience.

The big chop...

I had my hair done at The Strand in Chelmsford, by hair stylist Danielle Cooper. She always works wonders with my hair.

 It was such a lovely salon and the girls made me feel so welcome. Their prices are so affordable too which is always a bonus. I would highly recommend to anyone!

During...

Now the best bit

AFTER...

I am sooo in love with my hair Danielle couldn't of done a better job and it's for such a great cause and that makes me love it even more!

Thanks so much to Danielle and the salon for taking amaze videos for me and of course making my hair look amaze.

I've smashed my donation target already, but if you still want to donate please feel free to click the link below which will take you to my fundraising page and you can donate any amount of money and it goes straight to the charity.

Lets stop all this greedy retail money making madness and give something to help someone that will appreciate it more than you receiving the usual rubbish smelly 3 for 2 gift set.

Enjoy,

Anne-Marie

OH MY GOD Anne Marie is amaaaaaazing! Honestly too good live. We got to see her in Camden @ KOKO 1. unreal venue and 2. even more unreal artist! 

If you get the chance to see her GO!

                         

♥ HER!

Of course the day I was going Anne-Marie was one the nights it reached minus degrees brrrrrrrrrr!!! So, again I was stuck in the dilemma of what to wear.

*All of my outfit is unfortunately recycled pieces from my wardrobe as I ordered an outfit on black Friday expecting it to be here by the Monday. However I have found items similar to what I'm wearing so you can still create this outfit. (details will be below)*

Definitely went for the most inappropriate outfit for this kind of weather and I'm paying for that now as I have the worst cold, lesson learnt.

I couldn't resist this delicate lace roll neck as it added that cute feminine touch to my tomboyish trainer look. 

Cargo trousers are massive trend this season and I'm so glad I got these at the start of this year at such a bargain price. They are so comfy and make a nice change to the usual denim bottom.

If I can my outfit will always be finished off with my trainers. It's probably not a combination most people would go for but the trainers add that quirky edge to the outfit.

Of course I complete my outfit with a bit of fluff. This cardigan/jacket is actually a lot warmer then It looks. It was a bargain buy from Topshop costing me just £20! You can buy jackets similar everywhere at the moment as they are such a big trend, but I've found the most similar one to this for you all.
