A 'Sprinkle of Glitter' LOTD :)

I have recently been loving Sprinkle of Glitter's (a.k.a Louise!) blog posts about her 'love of the days'. I thought that I would have a little join in as I am recently on a saving spree myself so am lusting quite a lot over a lot of clothes at the moment. Probably due to the fact that I can't have/afford them which makes me want them even more!

At this moment in time it is this Dorothy Perkins top. I think that it is absolutely gorgeous! Im a massive fan of nude colors as having slight strawberry blonde hair I feel that it compliments my complexion. However, it is 35 pounds and being in my financial situation at the moment I can't really afford it! However I am heading up to the Mall tomorrow so may have to sneak in and try it on! If it looks amazing on then Im afraid that I may have to treat myself for a special night out....oh wait! I have my graduation this Friday and am heading out for drinks in the evening! Perfect!

There are many other pieces of clothing that I love at the moment, but this is my favorite and most wanted :)

Enjoy!

Saving Spree!

Well, recently it has come to my attention that I don't have all the money in the world and have found myself buying little bits and bobs here and there that is silently eating away and my bank balance without me noticing! A lot of these things have been necessities such as things for mm business and a new graduation outfit (woo-hoo). However others have been the sort of 'ooo I like that top' spending!

My final BIG buy is going to be my mac book laptop (which I have been saving for for over a year) + a Cath Kidston laptop sleeve, which in my world just has to be done. However after this, I am going to be going on a massive saving spree! This means that I am going to be having to find low cost and free fun activities for me to enjoy in order to save some pennies!

My list begins with:

*Using up all my makeup and toiletries instead of buying new for the sake of it

*Being more creative, such as making decorations for my birthday party rather than buying them online!

*Become more familiar with the kitchen. I am going to learn to cook by making meals for the fam which I feel will take up a lot of my time rather than going out to eat!

*Dont take my bank card out with me! I feel this will refrain me from spending without seeing. Only use the money that Im carrying!

*Find free activities with the boyfriend such as walks, movie nights etc.

*Saving Wages! I get paid cash in hand weekly for my work, alongside the odd photography job, but Im now going to split my wages exactly in half and have a saving tin:) Im also going to add in any loose change that I get. Im sure it will start adding up!

What ideas and activities do you have/do when you're low on funds?
