Summer haul!

Hi guys 

Hope your all having a nice summer :) making the most of the weather! 

I need to start making more time for my blog, I do neglect it a lot! Mainly because I don't really go shopping that often now I'm relying on my student loan, so I have nothing really to show you....BUT I went shopping in Birmingham the other day with my mom because it was her birthday and OMG I spent wayy to much money! 

Here's a snippet of what I picked up :)

 

I picked up a few bargains in newlook! I love these statement necklaces and I've wanted one for a while so when I saw this on sale I snapped it up. I'm really happy with these pieces :) the chunky bracelet goes great with the necklace and its ideal for evening outfits, but it's lightweight too so it's ok to wear in this weather! :) 

I spent a small fortune in forever 21 (my all time favourite shop) but my favourite item from there is this dress! I'm a sucker for animal print, and I'm really into pastel shades at the minute so I was instantly drawn to this. The pattern combines everything I love, animal print, floral and pastels! I really like the high-lo style too (I've got many skirts like this, it gives you a bit more coverage but still shows a bit of leg ;) ) It's like they knew all my favourite things and combined it all into one item for a very modest £25.75! 

The shoes in the picture I picked up from newlook in the sale reduced to £12!! And they are so comfy. I wore them for a night out the weekend and managed to last all night without my feet screaming at me :) very happy with them! 

Sooo what do you think?

Have you picked up any summer bargains? 

I have more pics to come :) 

Oh one last thing! I've had a bit of a clear out and put a few things on eBay if you want to check it out :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/11amyjane93/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

Like Cute? Like Animals? Check this out....

Hi guys!
 

As you may have read I've been fundraising to go volunteer in Africa! I am hopefully still going to be going, but due to funds I may have to put it on hold for a few years, but when I do go I may be able to stay longer :)

Anyway I'm selling a load of stuff on eBay so if you like cute and animals check it out :D

I'm selling Framed Animal Posters, of some photos that I have taken myself :)

 

 

 

I've got lots of Animal Themed Bracelets....

if you see any you like but want to switch things around such as different beads, coloured bracelets and such, drop me an email, amydavies93@hotmail.com or comment on my facebook group "Amy's Africa Fund", and I should be able to sort it out for you :)

 

 

All the money from these sales are going towards my volunteer work, which I will keep you posted on :)

I'm also hoping to make a few arts & crafts type gifts over the summer (when I'm free from Uni work) so expect to see more from me :P

 

Let me know what you think :)

Brat & Suzie Love!!

Hi guys,

I know I've been a bit quiet lately, sorry, its exam season, I've got my head in the books.

 

Due to exam stress, I thought I would treat myself to a few items from Brat and Suzie. Their clothes are super cute, with really quirky animal designs, and they are reasonably priced too.

 

 

 

Their website has a few sale items at the minute (which I may have just purchased :P) and a discount code "sunshine" for £5 off :D

What more of an excuse could you need?

 

I found Brat and Suzie on facebook and fell in love with their stuff straight away. I love clothes and I love animals, so what's not to love :)

 

I ordered my first top from ASOS with my student discount, and I couldn't be happier with it. The material is so nice, almost silky, and it fits really well too.

 

Here's me sporting my new top with my pooch

(who I had to bribe with ham to sit for this pic)

 

 

So what do you think?

 

Also I'd just like to add, I'm still fundraising for my volunteer placements so I have added a few more items to ebay if you fancy a peek

I also have a facebook page now - Amy's Africa Fund.

Feel free to have a nosey :D

Missguided mayhem!

Hi guys,

I have had the worst online shopping experience with missguided.co.uk, so I am writing this blog to warn you all and vent my frustration.
It was my first order from missguided, I'd always seen positive posts on twitter and heard they had a good range of dresses so for my birthday my boyfriend treated my to two really nice dresses. I ordered them either the Tuesday 15th of January with next day delivery (which was a right price). As I ordered them in the evening I thought the dresses might not arrive until the Thursday, which was fine as I'd planned to wear them on the Saturday. But no, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, still no dresses. So I had to spend the whole of Saturday racing round town trying to find something to wear, as I'd left all my nice clothes at uni.

This was disappointing enough but when my dresses were finally delivered, Monday morning, no one was in so a notice was posted through the door claiming the delivery was in a 'safe place'.  A safe place yes, with a neighbour maybe? No no, on my OPEN driveway, which is opposite a park where kids play, underneath my dads motor bike! Needless to say the delivery was not there when I went to retrieve it. My area isn't the nicest, if its not nailed down it will get up an wonder away.

I was sooo annoyed. We spent the first couple of days ringing the number on the package, spending hours n hours trying to get through.

We emailed missguided explaining what had happened and asked for a refund as I no longer needed to dresses after having to go out and replace them. They replied a few days later saying they would have to investigate the matter, over THREE WEEKS! Oh and that they dont have a number to call :/ Ohhhh so annoying.

Well a few weeks later they replied saying that they believed the delivery was left in a safe place and they would only issue me with a credit note -.- If it was up to me I wouldn't order another thing from that damned site.

I only had until April to use the money so I finally ordered a pair of jeans. When they arrived I found that the zipper was broken -.- so I emailed them about a return. It took a few days to get a reply but they sent me a Freepost label so I went out the same day to return the item. I posted them on the 26th of march. I was told that I would be emailed as soon as they received my package.

7 days later still no email. So I checked the tracking status, delivered. So I emailed them again asking what was going on and they said they MAY have had my package but it could take up to 15 days to process it. Erghh!

It's so frustrating. It's not just all this but every email goes to a different person, so it's like they couldn't careless. Its been a massive faff from start to finish.

They spend all day long retweeting 'happy' customers with their pretty dresses and what not, but when I tweet them with my concerns, several times, I was ignored.

If I do ever receive my jeans this will be the one and only item from missguided as they are appalling.

So just a little warning to you all, if you have had any issues like this I'd like to hear them.

Easter Nails!

Hi guys,

My blogs aren't really the same as they used to be, I don't have as much time to paint my nails and experiment with makeup anymore, and as I work with animals alot of the time, its often not worth it haha! So my blogs will be little snippets of my life now rather than just nail art. Hopefully you guys will still find what I write interesting :)

But I've broke up for easter now, for three weeks!! If only the weather was like it was last year :| Anyways, in between work, catching up on some z's, and selling anything i can get my hands on on ebay, I have managed to do a bit of nail art! :)

Here's what I did for easter :D

I used Models Own for the base colours and the white details, and Barry M white crackle on the thumb :)

The bunnies were sooo hard to do on my right hand! I managed it but they weren't quite as crisp as these haha!

Cute huh? Leave a comment and let me know what you think :)

I'm hoping to do a few more when I have some spare time :) so watch this space!

 

 

Also, like I mentioned the weather hasn't been great. Its sending me round the bend so who knows how all the wildlife feels. Today I saw a fox just sitting in next doors garden, enjoying the peace and quiet :)



As its spring now I'm wondering if maybe there are a couple of cubs in the over grown garden :D going to keep my eyes peeled from now on! I'll keep you all posted :)

 

Finally... I'll be listing a lot of stuff on ebay this weekend, books, purses, maybe some clothes and maybe some bracelets :D so feel free to have a browse :) I've got to do a work placement next year so I'm trying to raise some money towards it :) every little helps.

http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/11amyjane93?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

I look forward to hearing from you :)

And They're Up!! eBay a Go-Go!!

Hi guys!

Finally got a couple of bracelets up on eBay! I've just put the two on for a trail run (+ I'm running low on bracelets as all the family have been buying them :D )

http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/11amyjane93

This listing is for 10 days, so hopefully after that the rest of my beads and bracelets will have arrived  and I can really get the ball rolling!

Feel free to have a browse :)
All the money for these bracelets is going towards me volunteering at Moholoholo wildlife rehabilitation centre in Africa, where I will be helping to look after orphaned or injured animals. So its all for a good cause!

Please feel free to mention my ebay page on your own blogs as it would really help me out if you spread the word. (I'll do a thank you blog for all of those who do).

Any comments or advice is always appreciated :D
Thanks

First Sale! One Step Closer...

Hi guys,

I've sold my first bracelets :D just to family and friends but I'm so excited because it means I'm a little closer to Africa! My two sisters, my nan and my cousin have each brought a bracelet :)

Here are some examples of finished bracelets....

I am waiting for more beads to finish the dog theme and reptile theme bracelet :) because of Chinese new year, the deliveries have slowed down but some smaller bracelets arrived today so hopefully it will pick up again. The smaller ones are more suited for kiddies or people with tiny wrists haha!

The ones with less beads will be a little cheaper. My nan and cousin had double the beads on theirs so they offered to pay the extra which was nice :) All the money for these bracelets will go straight into my Africa fund. As soon as there is a free fees weekend on ebay these little beauties will go up and you guys will be the first to know :)

hope you like them :D
