JAIL BIRD

Pretty photo heavy blog post today but I was dancing and felt I needed to include some of my rocking moves. 

Dress- ASOS (Cheap Monday) 

Necklace- eBay

Rings- eBay

• Today is a first for my hair... Leaving the house with my hair down. I had really long hair then really short hair then really long again then stupidly cut it all off again in July last year and I find it really hard to wear it down as I absolutely hate it but today I braved my fears and had it down all the way to the shops and back... then quickly put it back up. It has grown a bit (it was cut into my neck and round my ears) but I really don't like it. It needs a cut to get some shape back in because I got an A-symmetric cut. (maybe I'll show you one day)
• Continuing my WARDROBE RENEWAL challenge. I dug this dress out of my wardrobe after thinking about clothes I haven't worn and this happens to be something I have never actually worn out the house. I do not understand why? I really like it. Its a really soft material (if not a bit see through) so its super comfy. I wore my lace edged cycling shorts (not really seen) underneath to save my dignity and save me having to wear shorts underneath which are a bit bulky for such a thin dress. Genuinely think the cycling shorts are the best investment ever!!! They allow you to wear slightly to short dresses/skirts etc without showing the bits you shouldn't show, if you know what I mean.  
• I got the necklace I am wearing off eBay for an absolute steal for like £2 (link at the top) it came from Hong Kong so I was expecting a couple of weeks delivery but it arrived after about a week, including the weekend. I have a bit of an eBay addiction right now. 
• The wardrobe renewal challenge is actually quite hard but I've seen so many things in my wardrobe that I still don't want to wear for my challenge so I have put them in a pile for selling or for the charity shop. I went over my idea for the challenge with Kirstie and we thought of a few things that I could try so fingers crossed. As I said the original idea of doing a few different things a day was a fail but I actually prefer doing it as a daily outfit thing, its much more challenging and fun. 

Bit of a long winded post today but I am in one of those moods where I just want to talk away but there is nobody here ha everyone has gone home or started their new fancy jobs "GET A PROPER JOB AMBER, GAWD" but I think if there actually was someone here I wouldn't have much to say. I think I am just in a funny mood today. 

If you follow the blog on Twitter @AMBRISSA you will see that I am on the hunt for POPTARTS and have yet to find them :-(

Please Excuse The Thing On My Shoulders

Blouse- Vintage

Skirt- Topshop

Belt- Topshop (was attached to shorts)

Ring- eBay

• Apologies for the awful picture quality I just couldn't seem to take any today, obviously just having one of those days. My plan was to do a WARDROBE RENEWAL post and pick 5 or so blouses/tops to bring back to the front of my wardrobe and then try it with dresses etc etc but my camera was apparently not wanting to play that game so I thought instead I will try and do it individually through the week, starting yesterday with that Topshop dress I wore to the loch. Weel see how it goes.. maybe even try not to buy anything until I leave... OOOO CHALLENGE ACCEPTED... maybe. 
• Anyway today's outfit is this wee blouse I found in a charity shop its from Etam? Anyone remember that place? Dont think they even exist anymore. Looking at the pictures again I dont know if I actually like it with this skirt... maybe I should of worn skinny skinny jeans? Yes I should of. I'm sure it was Rebecca and I that were on our lunch and decided to have a browse and we both left with floral blouses from Etam. 
• I woke up with a horrible headache today so instead of my normal post madness this will probably be the only one and I may just go back to bed.
• Burn from yesterday browning nicely. 

Here Comes The Sun

Top- Zara, Skirt- Topshop (old), Necklace- eBay

Long time no see... well like 3 days. 

This is what I wore to go down to Melrose with Jay, I needed something uber light and comfy because it was super hot. This is another one of those Zara backless T shirts but I didn't take a picture of the back for some reason. This skirt is such an old Topshop number that I never ever wear, it is one of those skirts that is tight at the hem and baggy everywhere else so it sits funny from the side. Also please ignore the mess of my face it was so hot and I was so full of hay fever I didn't want to put to much makeup on. 

There will be a post later about the wee trip and lots of pictures too, I get very snap happy when I go anywhere that's not my flat or even sometimes in my flat. 

Oh yeah... this wee necklace was a great find on eBay (link under the picture) its like a knitted rosary necklace.. sounds odd but I absolutely love it, its a bit more fun than the standard Topman/NewLook rosary's.  

Must dash... work to do. I did actually get m shift cancelled but I am an idiot and left Melrose super early instead of waiting to see if I was still working so I could of spent the day in the sun once mum and dad arrived to pick the motor-home up. Doosh.

I Dont Wanna Be Anything...

Tshirt- Primark, Skirt- H&M, Necklace- Miss Selfridge
Ignore the stupid face I am pulling, I was full of hayfever and trying to dance. Not a good combination.

Ok so one problem with this skirt... I love it... but it makes my hips look super huge when I wear it like this, I need to wear super tight tops with it and I am not a fan of that so I just have to look a bit wider than usual ha. This top was an absolute bargain from Pradamark, £8 can you believe it. I had it on with leggings originally but it was so similar to another bloggers outfit that I have seen and I didn't want to do a blog dupe so I put on a skirt instead, manners and all that. 

Again I am wearing my YSL-esque ring, just cant enough of it just now. Got lots of wee packages coming in the next couple of weeks from eBay, lots of jewelry. Woops.  

Burn is still sore. 

Harold Runstaman

Dress- Topshop via eBay, Gillet- Topshop Sale, Necklace- Topshop, Rings- ASOS (similar) & eBay.

Today I have a special guest star :-) HARRY!!! or Harold Runstaman as Jay calls him. He is a little Jack-Chi. 
Because I have Harry here I'm going for the comfy look, need to take the wee monkey for a big walk round the lake at uni and wear him out a bit, he has so much energy it is unreal. This dress was "one that got away" when it was in Topshop ages ago and I was devastated when I kept NOT buying it so when I saw it on eBay I had to have it, and for a fraction of the price as well (link above). I also got this gillet as a wee bargain in the Topshop sale. They call me Hunter... Bargain Hunter HA so not funny. I am also wearing another YSL style ring, addiction much? the seller was so lovely and I was so chuffed when the ring arrived, its totally different from the other ones I got. I will try and put a closer/better picture up of it soon. Maybe tomorrow?
Meeting Kirstie at 2 to go walkies and maybe get a coffee (or an ice tea for me), also need to post two 2 metre iPhone chargers to Dundee for Fiona and Helen, I ordered them on my eBay but the address was obviously mine. Honestly the best things ever, iPhone chargers are so short and these massive cables are such a good idea, even ordered one for my dad for his iPad aswell :-) such a good idea.
Anyhoo, stuff to do people to see.
Have a nice day Y'all.

Toast

Leggings-American Apparel ASOS, Blouse- Topshop, Jumper- Ralph Lauren Outlet, Ring- eBay, Necklace- H&M, Boots- Zara

This morning Jay took me for breakfast at a wee cafe in town called TOAST, I had an amazing panini (do not know how to spell that) with chicken tikka and mozzarella, bit early for that I know but it was gooood. Inspired by Fiona's order at baguette express on Thursday. 

Surprisingly this is the first time I have worn this shirt, I got it for my birthday in March from my mum and dad after pining over it for so long, probably since Christmas and for some reason I haven't worn it. Now I've worn today I am in love all over again :-), its not in stock anymore but they have a sleeveless version which is on my list for summer :-P The jumper came from the Ralph Lauren outlet in Gretna, I insist on stopping here every time Jay and I pass because there are always some amazing bargains. The ring is the black version of what I spoke about in my YSL Rings post the other day. Decided on comfort for today as I have a Mount Everest amount of washing to do today and what not.

Seriously need to master the looking at the camera thing.

I'm going to Dundee today to see my friends Fiona and Helen to go for a buffet (YUM) then get loads of junk food and watch films, one of which is Forest Gump (I have never seen this film) this is why I opted for the comfiest thing I could find in my wardrobe, this dress ridiculously still had its tags on and I have had it for about a year, I wore it into town to get lots of sweets for tonight teamed with a big fuzzy cardigan that Jay got me for my Christmas but I can only wear it for a wee while because its itchy but I LOVE it (will no doubt appear in a post at some point but I don't have a link). Tonight I think I will go for a big, baggy, cozy, comfy zipped hoody, classy.I also just realized that I have no bracelets on the pictures.. this is very unusual for me usually I have about 5/6 bracelets on, from charm bracelets to wee hand made ones, I like to mix and match my casual and smart as well as gold and silver jewelry, always have. 

I bought the new DKNY meringue perfume a few weeks ago and love it but decided to have a scoosh of the pink one (don't know what its called) wasn't such a fan, I think it was maybe a bit too sweet so I will stick with my yellow one :-)

I'm going to do a review of a few eBay sellers I've used over the next few days, hopefully have it scheduled to go up tomorrow but will probably go up Friday as I am running so late, standard, and I'm going back to my mum and dads for the night on Thursday, I think they have empty nest syndrome since my sister left for Holland so I'm going home to relieve them of this syndrome with one child, maybe. I love going back to my parents house for a couple of days its such a break from everything and I get to see my wee dog Chancer and the rabbits and just get to spend some real time with my parents, its not the same over the phone, I cant get cuddles or hot water bottles oh and soup, my mum makes the best soup EVER. FACT. There is always a new flavor waiting for me to the taste test on, last time it was spicy sweet potato soup, oh my days it was amazing, blew the roof of my mouth of but was so worth it. Then of course dad gives me loads of dad advice about my "next step" in my life (full time job ahhhh) but it is nice just to be around them and chill out in the house :-) nothing beats home comforts. 

Anyway enough of that... got an amazing bargain in Primark today... a gorgeous striped blazer for... wait for it... TWO GREAT BRITISH POUNDS!!! £2. I am wearing it tomorrow so didn't want to ruin the surprise by putting up a picture but it is smashing!

What is the best bargain you have ever found? I love this stuff, just give us a wee comment...
