Gabby's 20th Manchestaaarrr!

It was Gabby's birthday yesterday so me Holly & Holly's boyfriend Joe went to visit her in Manchester as that is where she is living at the moment for uni! It was actually the first time I've been to visit her this year, oops I'm a rubbish friend...

Yet again the weather was amazing, warm & sunny! A bit of sun always makes the day better!

Vegetarian Chimichenga
I wouldn't recommend this, it wasn't that nice & it was spicy which I wasn't expecting! I do recommend the mushroom fajitas which I've had another time I've been!
Gabby hates attention
Armani
Wasted return train tickets & coach ticket
Shirt - American Apparel Sale last year
Llama Print Pinafore Dress - Topshop 
Shoes - Converse Mum bought from Hong Kong last year
Bag - Zara Sale
Sunglasses - Mum's vintage Ray-Ban Wayfarers

Holly's outfit
Top - Topshop Cami
Daisy Print Jeans - Topshop Leigh
Shoes - Dr Martens
Bag - Pin Up Girl Clothing

This is actually the first time I've worn this shirt since buying it from the sale last summer. I bought it then changed my mind & didn't want it but stupid American Apparel have a no returns policy which is stupid! I tried to sell if but no luck so gave in & just had to wear it!

We got the train & arrived at Manchester around 1:30. We went to Gabby's halls then went out to China Town, to the Chinese Bakery then went to the Arndale food court where Holly & Joe got a Taco Bell & Gabby got Subway. We sat for a while then went for a wander around. I finally got my ears pierced again! After wanting to do it for years. We had to watch a little baby girl get her's done. She must've only been about 1? But she was hating it so much, just kept moving & refusing to do it & took ages to do. They did eventually pierce her ears after like trying for 15 minutes but I don't think they should have because she was so distressed & started crying! Poor baby but it doesn't hurt to get your lobes pierced which is why I have each ear pierced 3x! I would love all my ear pierced but my pain threshold is non existent! :(

We then headed back to Gabby's halls, while Gabby went back to freshen up, we went to Tesco to get her a birthday cake to take to the restaurant. We waited for all her flat mates then we all walked to town to go to Las Iguanas. Gabby booked a table for 15 for 7:30 we didn't get there till 8. Our waiter was really snotty & horrible. At the end of the meal you get a card to give your opinion of your meal & visit so one of the girls says he was a twat which he was!

After the meal Me Holly & Joe had to run to the train station but we missed the last train! It just left as we got to the platform! So we had to walk to the coach station & get the last coach back & get a taxi home. Which meant we had to fork out another £7.10 for the coach then £3 each for the taxi home. Right now my bank balance is killing me I really didn't need to waste that extra £10! :'( But at least we did make it home but not till after 12:30!
I don't think I should go to Manchester via train as the last trip I took there last year to visit Carl didn't end well either but I'm not gonna go into that.

Anyway the weather is meant to stay nice over the weekend but rain on Tueday! Need to make the most of it as summer never lasts long in England!

Christmas Wish List!

TOPSHOP

AJ Cut Out Heavy Ankle Boot - £95
These are like the Jeffrey Campbell Roscoe boots but I think these are nicer & a lot more cheaper & 'affordable' (Still think these are expensive though!)
Been after a pair of ankle boots & are stuck between these or them --->
Adonis2 Cut Out Boots - £75 (First out were £95) 
These are cheaper than <---- & have been wanting them for a couple of months now & actually sold out & had a fault on the buckle but have been re-released with a different buckle & cheaper!

Amaze 2 Eva Stripe Wedge Boots - £75

These are like the Henry Holland wedges worn on tights packets for the suspender tights & are a lot cheaper & affordable! I've been wanting a pair of wedges for ages & these are just perfect!
Prickle Premium Chelsea Boots - £120
I have a bit of an obsession with shoe boots at the moment & these are studded! Just perfect for me! <3
MOTO Acid Spray Hotpants - £32
I have an obsession with high waitsted shorts & just shorts in general...
Zip Out Borg Clean Parka - £100
They had this coat in last year but it was navy & I really wanted it as it's the perfect coat I'm looking for a waterproof fur lined parka! Is it really too might to ask for?! The only reason I didn't buy it last year & not bought it now is I really don't think it's worth the £100 price tag...
Spike Drape Ear Cuff - £7.50
Love ear cuffs but £7.50 for 1?! That's really expensive!!
Pearl Swirl Ear Cuff - £6.50
Love this! Not seen anything like this around!
Twisted Link Rope Necklace - £10
Obsessed & love layered necklaces! Especially chain gold ones! <3 I really want a vintage Chanel One :(
Extra Long Ball Chain Necklace - £12.50
How is this necklace more expensive than that one <--- ?? It's only one & that one is like 3 in 1??

ZARA

Zip Biker Coat - £119
Wish I could afford this :(
Studded Check Shirt £39.99
My 3 favourite things.. Studs + checked shirt & green!
Studded Ankle Boots with Straps - £129
So expensive! But the leather looks so nice!
Studded Bike Ankle Boot - £79.99
I really really want these! But I've already got a pair of leather bike boots I got last year but they haven't got studs on or look as nice as these :(

















I just want everything from Zara but it's gone so expensive lately! :( & the quality is still quite rubbish sadly so it's not really worth the price tag! Spanish made clothes seem to be all rubbish quality, they really need to sort it out because they can't charge that much when it clearly isn't worth it!

NIKE

Nike Blazer Mid Vintage Leather Light Charcoal Sail - £66.99 (Office)
I've been after these grey leather blazers for like a year now! At first they only seem to sell the suede ones which I do like but in England with our crappy weather suede really isn't the most suitable material! They would just get ruined once you step foot out of the house! I think grey is the best colour as it goes with anything more than black & white (I wouldn't mind them either!) but I think with what I wear grey would be better
Nike Blazer Mid Leather Trainers Maroon - £67 (Asos)
I love the colour of these but I don't really own anything maroon other than my pinafore so it'd be hard to colour co-ordinate!
Nike x Liberty
At the start of this year Liberty London collaborated with Nike to produce these pretty blazers!
I love these so much they're so pretty & love the colours! <3 Sadly they're now sold out & I can't seem to find these anywhere I'm dying for this pair!
Nike x Liberty
They actually made quite a few different designs. These 2 are my favourite I can't really decide which pair I prefer more! If anyone wants to buy me either (or both) I really won't complain!


DR MARTENS

Dr Marten Spike Boot - £275 (Dr Martens Website)
These are amazing I've been wanting a pair of Dr Martens for a few years now + spikes!! <3 I just can't afford them even though I would wear them 275 times so would get my wear for them! I just can't part with that amount of money on one item! :(
Dr Martens Harlen Shoe - £195 (Dr Martens Website)
I've also been wanting a pair of brogues & spikes! Just <3



BELTS


Zara Belt with Flat & Cone Studs - £19.99
Studs & Spikes belt! <3
H&M Belt - £6.99
How cool is this belt with the double buckle??


Hollister Easy Fit Trestles Beach Sweater - £44
I love this jumper it just looks so snug & comfy! But £44 is a lot for a jumper considering my nan knitted me a long cardi for less that £6! Hollister has gone up in price I remember when they first opened their store in Liverpool One & had a sale I got my checked shirts for only £13, hoodie for £16 & jeans for £13 too! But there is no way you can get anything that cheap now!
Adidas 3 stripe essential hoody - £45 (JD Sports website)
Love this hoody & the colours of the stripes!


American Apparel Riding Pants - £64
Even though I don't like American Apparel as it is extremely over priced plain sports wear, with a porn website I love the riding, disco pants & shorts but they are so expensive & the quality isn't even good either! They've gone up in price as well now but I really really want a pair of green riding pants (or blue or black!) But there is no way I'm paying £64 for them. Shops need to hurry up with their copies!
Motel Black Medusa Leather Look Skater Dress - £57.99 (Ark Website)
3 of my favourite things in 1 again! Studs + Leather + Skater dress! But with this price tag you could mistake it for a real leather dress!


SpiritHoods Grey Wolf - £99 (Asos)
I've been wanting a SpirtiHoods for agesss! But can't decide which is my favourite I think these too are but they have loads of different animals. I think £99 is far too expensive though!
SpiritHoods Red Fox - £99 (Asos)
Looks so warm & lovely fluffy! :(


So these are just some of the things I really want at the moment! However this list of "wanting" & "needing" is never ending as it just adds by the minute when I see something else! I've just seen something else I want to add onto this but I think there's enough already here! I doubt I'll end up getting any of these items for Christmas as my parents never buy me what I want or listen but I'll hopefully try & snatch some of these items in the sales after Christmas. Definitely a pair of ankle boots & grey Nike Blazers! :-) (I like to label myself as a well dressed poor person ;))
I love that studs & leather is so in at the moment as I do have a crazy obsession with studs & leather I don't really know why but they are the perfect combination! <3

What I want most for Christmas is actually standing tickets to see The Killers at Wembley in June 2013! I keep telling my dad everyday but I don't think he's listening to me so I might just have to buy them for myself again as I finally got to see them in my hometown 3 weeks ago Friday (Friday 9th November 2012) & it was the best day of my life I touched Brandon Flowers!!! <3 They were amazing & surprisingly standing Wembley tickets aren't that much more than what I paid for standing in the Echo Arena! It'll just be travelling & possibly accommodation in London that will cost me quite a bit but I'm sure it'll be worth the once in a life time chance! 
Car insurance would be great too as I past 1st time over a year now & only driven about 5x & not been left on my own! & gym membership forever dreaming of a 6 pack :(

Anyway that's enough from me for now.. I really don't ask for much.. If anyone wants to buy me anything that's been mentioned in this post I will love you & won't have a clue how I will repay you but you will be remembered & be the best person ever, I will be so happy you won't understand!
