Vintage looking Necklace

I've been really into vintage looking jewellry lately, and when I saw this necklace in New Look I just had to get it. It's absoutely gorgeous, it makes me feel like a princess when I wear it. I also got a floral ring with rusty golden edges, I'll insert my video here, which shows both the necklace and ring along with some more jewellry and some clothes.
Oh and it's the worst thumbnail ever I look awful lol.

Book Haul - January

I am so exicted to read 'The Power of Six' by Pittacus Lore. I really Loved 'I am number four' so this was a must for me. The next book I bought is the first one in the Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins and my reason for getting this is simply because I've heard so many good reviews I wanted to read it for myself. I've been thinking of reading Breakfast at Darcys by Ali McNamara for a while, and so I bought it.
I was walking round the bookshop and came across 'I wish I'd been there' and I thought it would be an interesting read. Lastly I recieved a book from the library, as I've just joined a book club. 'The Uncommen Reader' by Alan Bennett.' I'm halfway through it and so far my instincts are right, it's really not my type of book. Hopefully they choose a good one next.

Casual outfit of the day

This is a casual outfit I wore for New Years Day. My distressed denim skirt is from New Look. My cream fleece hooded jacket is from George at Asda and my pink vest top is from Marks and Spencers. You can see my shoes better in the video below, but my ugg style boots are from Wynsors. My bag was a christmas present from my friend Laura and I got my MET-RX hat from a BodyPower Exo in Birmingham. For makeup I did a brown/red/purple smokey eye look and clear Lipgloss.
