New Arrival: Leopard Print Puffa, and Bling for my Boots

Now before you think I've turned into an extra off Eastenders hear me out!

My name is Milly, and I bought a Leopard Print Puffa Jacket.

I'm not proud of myself

but I couldn't resist!

It was half price in H&M for £15

I love leopard print, and I know its chavvy,

But its so horrible and tacky, that its gorgeous!

Also Ive been after a pair of boots with a chain on for ages,

Like the ones above from Kurt Geiger,

But I don't really need another pair of boots like those

I also liked these ones again with the chain,

But I had some pretty similar

But I solved my dilemma

With some boot 'riders',

courtesy of 2Bandits!

I don't know, why somebody in the U.K hasn't come up with these

such a simple but clever idea

£34.99 River Island (this Season)

They are a leather strap with chains and a buckle,

to put round any boots of your choice!

They cost $70 for a pair (about £40)

not cheap, but well worth it

They literally transform any boot you put them on

they come in a variety of leather colours and chain colours,

to mach what you already own

£75 Office ( This Season)

I'd been looking for some sort of boot cuff or strap

just to add to my collection of boots,

but I couldn't find any anywhere at all

£80 reduced to £20 Topshop (last Year)

Then I came across www.the2bandits.com

really cute designs,

and I cant find anything like them by anybody else

£80 ASOS (This Season)

As you can see they fit, an look great on all of my boots

I literally want to wear them every day

and they go really well with my religion leather jacket

£25 Topshop (from eBay)

I am seriously so chuffed to bits with them,

I'm thinking about getting another pair in black and silver.

Talking of boots, I'm getting these for Christmas

(they are reduced to £195 and my mum and I are paying half each)

Seriously so excited, they are my dream boots!

Ive ordered them into the shop to try next week

I really hope they fit, or I might cry!

MUST NOT BUY ANYMORE BOOTS!

New Arrival: Skellington / Skull Jumper!

I got a new jumper!
It's from the boys bit at H&M

It made me take pictures like the one above,
I just couldnt help myself
I might use then for uni work though

Bone Hairclip: Creepsville 666
Skull Necklace: Jessica Kagan Cushman @ Spoiled Brat £100 reduced from £150
Skellington Jumper: £9.99 H&M Kids age 14!

Millys Hair Through The Ages

So, just for a bit of fun, Ive decided to show you all the pictures of my hair since when I was about 14

Above is the oldest picture I can find

in the purple square I have a brown bob with no fringe, pretty standard

and in the blue square, is where I did work experience at a hairdressers and they set it in curlers for a laugh!

I actually loved having that hair for a day, as in general I can do nothing with it!

Don't ask what I was doing in the green square,

I was a weird teenager!!

Here Is the first time I'd Properly dyed my hair,

I have always used semi permanents and toners to make my hair kinda reddy,

but here I used a black/blue permanent dye.

Here I'd just had my hair cut quite short, I was going through a punky kind of thing

I had also discovered make-up a bit more,

I tried making my hair into a fauxhawk, and actually loved it so started doing it regularly

Here I am aged about 16 (with my gay best friend)

I had just finished High school, so took that as a cue, to dye my hair crazy

I actually loved having pink hair,

but my boss wasn't as keen so It didn't stay for too long

I managed to keep it long enough for my prom though!

I had flicked it out using straighteners

Here I was trying to get back to having normal hair for work

but with a blonde streak just because I couldn't resist

I then decided to venture into being blonde,

I loooved having blonde hair

again, cut shorter for a fauxhawk

Here I tried a fauxhawk... with a fringe

I quite liked it,

but if I didn't wear makeup around this time I did get mistaken for a boy

Next I got a bit obsessed with how blonde it was

I made it go proper platinum white blonde

which I totally loved and my work didn't mind either

(also look how skinny I am here!! it didn't last for long)

Now I'd grown my hair out a bit more, I tried out a quiff

I think it suits my,

but I only ever wear it if my forehead isn't spotty

which is not very often

This is my favourite hair of all time,

I love it,

It was VERY white blonde,

With a really blunt fringe,

unfortunately by now my hair was all damaged from over bleaching

To try and combat the damage,

I had my hair cut short again,

which I liked, it was summer so i felt quite summery with it

again, did look like a boy if not wearing a dress or make-up

by now i had totally given up on using bleach,

they changed the ingredients in my regular brand, which hurt my head

and also damaged my hair more than before

and I couldn't find another brand that went blonde enough

so I stuck a purple on top of it

and it seems my work, had become more relaxed about hair

probably because by now I'd been there for 4 years

I stuck with the purple for a while

but started to get bored again

especially with the fringe

This is my most recent picture

Ive been growing it, and had it cut asymmetrical,

trying to grow my fringe into a swoop down one side

and keep the side with the fringe long

and the other side kinda short

I bought an orange/red highlighting kit and put it all over instead

It came out really bright and I love it,

right now its kinda redder,

as I use a semi permanent bright dye every time I wash to add more colour

well wasn't that fun!

I would love to hear some comments,

or any hair disasters you've had??

xXx

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Ok so I'm not trying to be whingey
but I REALLLY want more followers,
or more to the point, I don't really understand why I dont have that many followers!

and I know I'm biased,
but I think my blog is quite good,
and there are loads of blogs out there that I think are kinda lame,
but have a bajillion more followers than me

So instead of being a moaning Mildred,

I'm going to ask:

Is there something I'm doing wrong??
and what can I do to improve??

Any feedback will be muchly appreciated!

oh and to make this post more exciting
here's some pictures I took a couple of years ago!





also Ive come up with a great post for next week, Milly's hair through the ages!

What Milly Wore: to go to Argos

evenin' all

Well today was a bit weird, totally overslept and missed my lecture

but to make up for it I did some work, more on that later!

Well it was chilly outside this evening,

and I needed to walk to Argos to get a new tripod!

Here is what I wore:

Panda Hat: River Island

Studded Leather Jacket: Religion (trying to wear it as much as possible)

Marc Jacobs Style Bag: Market Stall

Bleached Jeans: River Island

Purple Boots: Red or Dead

Hand Warmers: New look ( a couple of years ago £1 )

Mohair Eternity Scarf: Juuls (as worn by Mary-Kate Olsen! expensive but lovely)

Underneath I Wore:

My favourite Grey Cardigan: American apparel (unisex)

Two Tone Bodycon Dress: American Apparel

And here is the lovely Mary-Kate wearing my scarf!

this pic is a good few years old but I think its my favourite of her!

and here is the work I was talking about earlier!

Here is my first Panorama!

Its only test shots, to see if i could do it, and it worked!

Quite chuffed with myself

Just finished moving rooms and got a new bed yesterday so thought I would show you guys my room!

Its not sorted/tidy, but all the furniture is in the right place now!

I love the above cardigan,

I was soooo close to ordering it, I saw a girl wearing it the other day

it looked so good,

I was having a snoop around to see if I could find it or similar,

and this is the exact one

£75 Monsoon

I ordered this one instead

I actually like the other one more,

But this one was £40 ASOS

much cheaper, and also I think the sleeves are better

why put short sleeves on a cardigan??

and I have totally and utterly failed on my not spending money on anything over £20 pounds

I was doing so well

but today Ive put in 3 orders , probably spent £200

oh deario

I'm going to have no money

So my punishment from the boy

is to not buy ANYTHING for a week,

starting tomorrow

: (
