OOTD: We'll Be Burning Up Like Neon Lights

Another fashion post! Jeez remember when I would only post one every few months?!

I promise I've got a few beauty posts coming up!

If you saw my haul last week you'll have seen this yellow dress and necklace already!

 Neon Yellow Dress €24.99 New Look | Necklace €5 Penneys | Black Platform Heels around €30 LoudLook

I hate cutting my friend out of the photos but I wasn't sure if she'd be comfortable with her photo plastered on the internet to complete strangers!

I never took a photo of the back on but I did take one for the haul so here it is:

The knot falls perfectly over a bra strap so you can get away with wearing a nude one rather than a clear strap one.

At first I didn't like the texture of the dress, It reminded me of those waffle texture makeup/toiletry bags.

But I actually really like it now! I think the colour goes well with darker hair. 

See you next week

Anchor Charm Bracelet

Helloooo there, 

I apologise for the lack of posts, I'm still settling into work and everythings a bit hectic at the minute.

I was contacted by Jenni from YoursCharmingly to see if I wanted to pick out a bracelet or necklace from her website. Me being a jewellery fanatic jumped at the chance and chose this Anchor Bracelet*. 

The shipping was surprisingly fast, I was expecting it to be a few weeks as she lives in the US, but it was only about 4 days! 

Anchor Charm Bracelet* from YoursCharmingly $3.00 (here)

eBay Jewellery Haul

Yes Im back with yet ANOTHER eBay jewellery haul.

I picked up a few more bits so I thought I'd share them as I thought they were nice pieces for the price!

€1.44 with free shipping

So the first item I picked up, I had actually seen on another jewellery website and I wanted it so much but it was a lot more expensive than on eBay. I just happened to spot it while browsing eBay and had to get it!

Its available in 3 colours, this 'rose red', 'lake blue' and orange. 

I definitely want to get the lake blue as well!

Please excuse the atrocious outfit, obviously it doesn't go with it but I just wanted to show you the length.

Exact item I bought: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/400422494814?var=670069071553&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_16814wt_906

€1.44 with free shipping

The next item I ordered was this gold arrow bangle. I love that this is adjustable so will fit anyone, I find bangle usually fall right off my arm as I have small wrists and hands. 

Exact item I bought: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/251168733352?var=550188838661&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4588wt_1037

€1.13 with free shipping

I also picked up the above bracelet in silver as I couldn't choose between the two. I bought them from different sellers as the one I bought the gold from didn't have the silver in stock. Unfortunately the silver came broken. I think the glue just wasn't very strong or something. I've contacted the seller and they've said they would refund my money but who knows if they actually will. 

Exact item I bought: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/251168733352?var=550188838661&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4588wt_1037

So thats everything I bought this time! 

How To Make a Ring (That is Too Big) Smaller to Fit Your Finger

Hi guys so I wasn't really sure what to call this post hence the long title but its exactly what it says it is.

I have quite small hands and fingers which can sometimes be a problem when buying rings online in particular. I recently ordered a one size fits all ring on eBay and found that it was just slightly too big, nothing major but it slid off my finger easily. 

But luckily, I found a solution and now it stays on my finger perfectly.

I'll include photos at the end!

eBay Jewellery Haul

 I LOVE costume jewellery. 

To me, its 'disposable' jewellery. Meaning, I won't keep it forever.

Also, I like to wear it out on nights out etc and to places where it could get broken or lost.

Because of this, I don't like to spend a lot of money on it. 

Which is why I love eBay for costume jewellery. It is literally soooo cheap and a lot of the time its free p&p too!

Granted, it is coming from Hong Kong/China so you have to wait a few weeks for it but its worth it once you see how cheap the jewellery I got was!

I'm all for supporting local, small businesses but some take the absolute piss with over charging. I saw two jewellery websites have the EXACT SAME necklace I bought below. One was charging £14 the other £7. The only other place I was able to find this necklace was eBay.. for 60p (around 70c). 

Because obviously none of these are real gold/silver I'd recommend giving the rings a quick coat of clear nail polish before you wear them to prevent them tarnishing or turning your fingers green!

I coated mine when I opened the packaging (except the wings one, I forgot and its turned slightly pink) and left them overnight to dry!

Anyway enough talking, lets get onto the haul!

Infinity Black Cord Bracelet

I've always liked the look of these bracelets but there was no way I was paying like €5 plus another €5 shipping on some jewellery website. I decided to hit ebay and see what I could find.

I loove this bracelet! I've been wearing it none stop since I got it!

Gold Infinity Bracelet €2.45 Ebay.com
