Recently more than ever i have discovered i am a rich girl trapped in a poor girls body! I think it's always the same around autumn because i always want big knits and wintery clothes, possibly even more than summery ones! Another shocking revelation that I've realised is the quantity of clothes i now find my self lusting after from River Island now i don't work there, typical!

I don't think anything screams winter more than the oversized cable knit jumper! i can just imagine braving those winter days from the confides of this jumper!

I don't often go for prints! something about them just says kat slater? that aside i do like to shop within trends and seeing prints have made an appearance this A/W i thought i may have a slight dabble! Surprisingly i love the zebra print jumper from H&M! i think its because its not your standard horizontal type stripes!

I'm a sucker for a blazer! they make those simple outfits stand out so much more. I've had my eye on this blazer for 2 weeks now i think i really just need to take the plunge! same goes for the other two item on my RI list!

Finally the American Apparel dancing shoes! I have looked all over for a pair of shoes like this! possibly for about a year! I wanted something like a brogue but quite plain and with less of an "old lady" feel and i have finally found them! needless to say i'm awaiting this order to the point where i think i am worrying the postman!

ETSY

I have recently started collating and putting together pieces of jewellery, at first for just personal use to give my outfits something a bit more unique and personal. However after a few people where asking my where i bought my accessories is appealed to me that it could be something of a side line to earn a bit extra money while I'm at uni, all i need now are the views!

Follow, Share & Help - I donate a % of all my profits to Kidney Research UK!

Maybe i'm glutton for punishment but i couldn't wait to start back in my sketchbooks again. Northumbria university kindly complied and sent me out my summer project to get ready for uni! its creating your own design journal for three commercial interior space and finding your personal style. Number one is the Lotus Lounge in Durham, not much varies to draw but what i can use i feel is quite quaint.

Blanx

To keep in tied with the fitness theme i recently started a green tea detox (pics to come soon). A cup in the morning and one in the evening for a total of two weeks, not been much of a tea drinker myself i recently noticed a slight discolouration in my teeth coincidence? most likely as i'm only 1 week in, but nether the less after reading Blanx reviews i thought i'd give it a go! I have super sensitive teeth and the good news is Blanx contains no peroxide or abrasive ingredients, the particular product i chose from there range contains a led screw cap that accelarates the whitening process, brush as normal and your teeth are coated in a uv active whitening treatment; so the more exposure to uv your teeth get, the whiter! if thats not a reason to smile i don't know what is!

Nike freerun 3.0

After becoming a member at the gym again i braved the fitness world in my converses... what a sin! after a total of 5 minutes cardio i could feel the pain in my lower legs and not of the unfit variety! Although i do try my best not to buy into gimmicks, i did need a better shoe. Not my usual footwear choice i found these trainers online at very and loved the colour before i read the description. The free run trainer is perfect for what it says on the box, RUNNING! There really light, comfortable and have a foam sole for impact. Having used the at the gym they do make a huge differance and i can honestly say this footwear choice was a good investment!

I think in total over the years i have made 4, possibly 5 blogs .... maybe more who knows! and all of them stop at the same point. But with a new focus and direction in life I'm hoping i have the willpower to develop this blog into somewhat of an achievement of my personal journeys if nothing else! Live Laugh Lavish is a name derived from what i want to blog about, interior design, lifestyle, beauty & whatever else may come my way! watch this space.
