on new years eve, i had ordered several things from River Island, Zara & ASOS.com. i knew they wouldn't come immediately, but i was a bit miffed at my wait. anyways, today, my stuff from River Island arrived;

first off were a pair of black, leopard print harem pants. you can't see the leopard print here, but it isn't massively apparent in real life anyhow, just a nice shiney pattern. i'm impressed with these because i haven't really found many pairs that i think look ok on me, but i think these ones look ok!
teamed with black bandeau top from Miss Selfridge (£10), Love Hearts & Crosses skull cameo (£12) & my New Look leopard print boots.

secondly was a leopard print dress. now, on the website it advertised it as a "skater dress". well, it's not. it's more of a vintage cut & due to that, i could have done with getting a size smaller, but with a belt, it works ok. it's 100% polyester, which is gonna be warm, but it makes the dress hang really well. teamed with Topshop black leggings (£12) & New Look beige platform heels.
now waiting for my ASOS leather panel leggings & my Zara cat blouse!
also, i had my hair coloured before New Year & got absolutely conned. i was over charged an extraordinary amount, the colour was left on too long & so went too dark, then my blonde piece wasn't properly dyed so is now coming through & after just over week of having it; it's back to it's natural colour pretty much instead of the Paloma Faith shade it was meant to be! i was not impressed. but oh well, it looks fine so it will just have to do!
