Mini-haul

Just a few online, sale and general shopping buys! 

Dress - Glamorous - £25.99

This photo makes this dress look awful! Its gorgeous in real life though, can't wait to put a belt round the middle and wear it with heels on a night out or throw a baggy shirt over it for a casual day look.

Vest - Topshop workshop - £12 from £20

Bought this from the sale mainly for my holiday in the summer just to throw over my bikini on the beach. Its really over-sized and I love the colours, sooo pretty.

Earrings - Topshop - £3.25 from £6.50

Another sale purchase, black, gold triangles, perfect.

Heels - Topshop - £30 from £80

SO excited about these! I had been after them for months since I had seen them online but just couldn't justify buying them :( so I couldn't believe my luck when I saw them, the only pair of these on the sale bench... in my size! Time for the victory dance! ahhhhhhh, so thrilled! Although they are tricky to walk in, but who cares?! I mean, they have studs in the heels! In. Love.

Bag - Primark - £12

I bought this beige bag from primark and literally have used it non-stop, its really lovely! I wish it had a zip at the top though rather than just a magnetic popper, but lets not be picky! £12 bargain! xoxo

CATCH UP

Hello, hope you are all well, I have been away from blogging for a few months now! I don't really know why to be completely honest but there you go! The new blogger design is horrible and I still can't get used to it - not that it's really that new anymore! I'm hopefully going to try and get back into it! I have also lost the cable for my camera which doesn't help at all, hence the dodgy instagram picture!


Anyway, just a few things!
1. I have a new phone, a white samsung galaxy s2, I love it! Seriously don't know how I lived with my rubbish blackberry before!
2. A while back, I held a giveaway for 3 ciate crackle polishes, now I am back I am delighted to reveal that the winner is... Josephine Jade who I shall contact shortly, well done!
3. I am now on instagram, and pretty much obsessed with it! My username is annie_coco if you would like a nosy!
4. Typing this post has made me realise how boring my life is, I have been away for a couple of months and have nothing to say! Spent too much time being lazy in the sun obviously! xoxo

Rings and Tings

Moustache Necklace*

Skull Earrings*

- both Rings and Tings

If you haven't heard of Rings and Tings yet, seriously, get yourself over to their site! They stock clothing, jewellery, bags and beauty items and they are flipping reasonably well priced too. They have some great pieces in stock at the moment, some really quirky bits, how amazing is this ring?! I would quite like to try out some of the eyelashes that they sell too. On payday, when it finally arrives, i'm definitely treating myself to a few bits off their website. Great quality and so well priced, can't go wrong really!

Have you ever bought anything from Rings and Tings? xoxo

wishlist 2

Sorry for no post in nearly 2 weeks! I have been really busy, making the most of the sun, then once the Easter holidays began, I spent my whole week at work and now I am a little bit poorly, booo. Hopefully I will be able to squeeze in a few more posts this week! Not really able to afford any of the following on my wish list for a while as I have literally wasted my wages this month, have finally booked Amsterdam and would like some spending money for that, but still, I can dream.

001. Khaki Pocket Shorts from Topshop. Although I have only just bought 3, yes 3, pairs of khaki shorts, I want more! These are longer in length and I think the pocket detail is great. I think the white drawstring tie give these a really sporty casual look too.

002. Peace Vest from Topshop. Still so so so into dip dye clothes at the moment and and vest tops with love arms I love, especially as i can flash my tattoo off now! This top would go with so many things, short shorts or jeans for a casual look and I can think of a few black skirts I have that I could dress it up with.

003. Pink Plastic Raincoat from Miss Selfridge. Need this in time for festivals this year! I'm going to Reading and hopefully Summer Sundae too. I need a new raincoat and this is bright pink, possibly I could justify buying this...

004. Gold Triangle Studs from Topshop. Is it just me or are triangles the thing going? Genuinely I am triangle obsessed. I quite want a triangle tattoo too. Then again I want loads of tattoos. I just want everything really!

005. Dip Dye Tunic from Topshop. On the website this says petite but I have seen a non-petite version in store. Love this but I know I would wear it one time and then be over it. Or maybe not? I don't know but i want it! 

006. Scarf Print Playsuit from River Island. I would most likely only wear this on a night out and then complain about toilet hassles of playsuits! I like how the print runs down the centre of the suit and need some more classy items in my wardrobe asap! 

Also, is it really bad that I want this top? What's better than a vest top with a picture of Barbie, Ken and the rest of their plastic crew?! Probably quite a lot really.

Don't forget to enter my giveaway too if you haven't already!  xoxo

What's Happened This Week? #2

Me and my split ends reppin' my work uniform.

1. Spent a REEEDONKULOUS amount of money online this week, and going shopping in a moment - spending ban out of the window!

2. Reached 100 followers on this blog GlitterMud! So grateful to you all. Don't forget to enter my giveaway! I'm also thinking of changing the name and header of my blog, I sort of picked the name 'glitter and mud' off the top of my head when I split-secondly decided to create a blog. I was thinking of 'calling coco' let me know what you think? :)

3. I went to the gym! Also going running tomorrow! Going to the gym, big deal for me! As the gym is in the leisure centre that I work, everyone you know is there watching you get all sweaty and it's not ideal but to be honest it beats paying for a gym membership that I can't really afford.

4. I'm finally the proud owner of a tangle teezer and the real techniques core collection brushes...more to come on these beauties.

Songs this week:

1. Those Dancing Days - I'll Be Yours

2. Mindy Gledhill - I Do Adore

3. Reverend and The Makers - He Said He Loved Me

What's Happened This Week? #1

1. This was the week I finally decided to cancel my glossybox subscription. Some products I loved, some I didn't which is kind of what you expect but GB's customer service I found pretty naff and they obviously wasted our time asking us to complete out beauty profiles. What's the point when they are ignored?! I prefer Carmine and the new SheSaid beauty boxes. Bring back Feel Unique!

2. Received an unconditional offer for Leeds Met Uni, so this year I will definitely be going away, wooohooo. Waiting to hear back from one more choice yet though.

3. Been attempting to sort through my clothes this week, not been all that successful! Everything is too small but i'm convincing myself things WILL fit soon! Dream on! I need to be brave and just get rid. I am also going to try a spending ban for a bit, try and save some money rather than blowing it all on non essential items no matter how much I reckon I need them!

4. Looked more into going to Amsterdam and we are hoping to book this week! Getting far too over excited. A big thanks to Claire at Don't Eat Leather who has been really helpful, and has given me so many ideas on places to visit and things to do, so thank you! 

Songs of the week:

I have decided each week along with my 'weekly round-up' post, to share a few songs I have been listening to. I love music and discovering new artists, so hopefully this might introduce people to some amazing stuff! Going to share some new music, some old gems and just random picks off albums that I enjoy :) 

1. Daughter - Your Kisses

2. Oh My! - Run This Town

3. Kate Nash - Later On
