Excuse the pasty legs-believe it or not they actually have a lick of fake tan on, what a shame, oh what a shame. Anyway, this is what I wore upon my person when I went to a battle of the bands final last night (my lovers band won, wahoo!). I went along on my own, so I like to think I looked mysterious and sultry as I sat alone with my beverage in fur and a slick of red lipstick. The image was probably ruined by the fact my drink was blue (blue cider, how could I resist such a novelty!?) complete with a pink curly straw that I couldnt drink out of properly, but the effort was there.

This fur coat was the one I got with the Grazia discount from Warehouse, and its so unbelievabley soft. Numerous people have asked me if it's real...but unless monofibre is an animal...no.

How frickin' cool is the belt?! Its a good job I only had one of those blue ciders though, as the belt is teeeeeny tiny and I cannot afford any whisper of a bloat in it.

The skirt was £2.49 from a charity shop, and the under layer came down all the way, so I just gave it a trim to mimic all the wonderful sheer maxis around at the moment, that I love, but cannot bring myself to spend out on.

Well I've been working all week, including today (Sunday) and I only have 2 days off before Christmas, so that's a bit of a bummer. The overtime pay will be nice, but all the tax taken off it will make me bitter and resentful at the fact it will amount to less than £5 an hour after deductions, so I'm just trying to power through and not think about it....holidays are coming, holidays coming etc etc etc. And I have New Years Day off, so paaaarty time for New Years! Anyone got any good plans for bringing in 2012? Or any good outfits planned?!

Today I began my Christmas shopping, which whilst I wasn't entirely successful-I ended up buying myself a new coat at the same time, has eased my stress levels slightly, and I feel like the never-ending to do list has at least had a few things crossed off of it. Despite the purchase of the new coat, which was a gorgeous coloured fur from Warehouse and was justified by using the 25% discount offered via Grazia magazine (offer runs til December 8th I believe, be quick!) there wasn't actually a whole lot in the shops that I was tempted by. I had actually been dreading going round town in case I succumbed to the heady desire for new purchases, and would find myself once again penniless straight after payday. But through no strong will of my own, I didn't find myself ooh-ing and aah-ing over unneccessary purchases in the slightest. Can only be a good thing I suppose.

One thing I did have to buy though was an M&S Christmas soup. It tasted like liquid stuffing, but in a strangely good way. I'm also wanting to try some Mine Pie ice cream. Seems its my actual taste, not my fashion taste that's carving the most attention right now.


How's everyone elses Christmas shopping coming along? Are you organised this year or stressing with lack of ideas?

And oh yes, I have a fringe. Self cut of course. You like?
