Hey beautiful dolls!!! Well today i have been up since like 7 in the morning. (Making up for yesterdays over-sleepyness) I went to Manchester to do some shopping and i bought a few items, had my usual strawberries and cream frappuccino and grabbed a bite to eat. Then i came across this sweet shop that sold all these old school sweets like EYE POPPERS, ZAPPERS, NERDS, FIRE BALLS etc all the stuff i used to save my pennies for as a kid to go buy. You can imagine how excited i got. Well now i am sat here with a bag of super SOUR TANGY sweets pulling the most ridiculous faces as i eat them. Anyway i shall continue with more pictures of todays outfit. Excuse the pure rubbish quality of the pictures as i left my camera at home and these are taken on my Blackberry torch. I think its 5 mega pixel or something lame like that.
Yeah and my hayfever went CRAZY today too. So my eyes look mega tiny. AND it rained hence the bad hair day. Oh well here goes.




Bag : Topshop


Yes i know the plastic tag thingy is still on my necklace thats because i couldnt take it off and i was trying to bite it off and this old woman smiled a toothless smile at me and said in the nicest and creepiest way possible "You'll lose all your teeeeeeeth" she almost sang it to me. So i got scared and left it on. 

OH MY GOD honestly i was in the girls toilets today and this little old woman walked over to me and said "helloooo" and walked off. I looked at the girls next to me and said OH MY GOD WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT??? The girls were like she did the same to us. I got so creaped out like if she comes in my room at night and kills me, please tell my mum i love her. hahaha 

What is it with me and the old women today?? I am attracting them like crazy!

How did your day go?

Outfit Of The Day.. Ft Shopping & Ice cream! - 04/07/2011

Hey beautiful Girlies!!! Well today i overslept and wokeup VERY late. I am not even going to tell you all just how late cause i am quite embarrassed. haha Anyway so i didn't have my usual amount of time to get ready. It was super sunny so i wanted to wear something casual & cosy. So i opted for this outfit. It was perfect for a day of shopping followed by ice cream at 3 different places. Yes i am very fussy when it comes to icecream, well i wanted my lemon sorbet icecream and fredericks didn't have it so i had to go all over the place. ANYHOO thats a different story for a different day lets carry on with something that won't put you all to sleep. OUTFIT OF THE DAY. 


 Me outside Fredericks. Everyone is racing inside to grab some icecream and i'm like NO FREEZE, i need to take a picture for the blog. So here it is.


Shades : Newlook £3
Prior to buying these i saw a woman in some SEXY ray-bans and i was in love, however my wallet was not in agreement with my summer romance. So the next day i found these aviator sunglasses that were only £3 and the only difference was the tiny little ray ban sign on the side. Hey i can always pretend that got worn away right?
Right? No? Okay then.

Oversize Crop tie Top : River Island  Was £19.99 Now £5 IN SALE

Pants : Zara £15 IN SALE

Necklace: River Island Was £14.99 Now £5 SALE

















A close up.





















After i got bored of posing like a mannequin i had to do a more "Mahaim" like Pose. So here it is. Mahaim with a bit more personality. *wink*

Disturbing i know, but hey i blame the sugar rush from 3 different ice cream places.










So today i went shopping and i was amazed at how many girls approached me and asked me about our blog. I didn't know so many people read it. It totally made my day that so many people enjoy reading our posts. It motivated me to try and find time to write more often.
We love you all and all your comments,messages etc mean so much to us. Thank you so much.



What did you get up to today? What was your outfit of the day? Post it on our facebook page to be featured in our new exciting upcoming project.

Until next time. Take care beautiful dolls.

Outfit Of The Day.. Ft The Sale & Shopping!

Hey everyone! Thanks to all the girls who have been messaging me and keeping me updated on all the latest sales. Me & Sumaiya decided to pop into town today. Well i was in bed and she came and dragged me out to go shopping and forced me to get ready in 10 minutes flat. My hayfever was going insane. Which resulted in us with no makeup on and hair in a scruffy bun shopping for bargains. Cause that is how we roll *wink* We then came home and got changed into a more presentable state. Here is what our outfit of the day is.



Hair: This took literally 10 minutes after Sumiya stole all my grip pins. I just put it all back. She also forced me to add this trick of the day as she was fascinated by it. When you use your grip pins and they are all wide and come apart and you think you can't use them anymore. Bite the grip pin to make them go back to their normal shape and come together again so they are usable again. I honestly didn't think it was a tip worth putting on the Blog but Sumaiya insisted. She said she usually goes and buys loads of new ones. Well you can Sumaiya as you have stolen mine *smiley face*

Aztec Ladder Crop Top : New Look
Was £12.99 Now £7. I actually wanted this when it was full price and i couldn't find my size. Thank the lord for working in mysterious but great ways.

Watch : Guess from Asos ( See my Budget Vs Blowout post on this)

Croc print real leather Bag: River Island Was £39.99 Now £20.

Navy Blue belted Chinos : Newlook £24.99

Clogs: Newlook

Pendant : Topshop





















Hair: Sumaiya is the Bouffant babe in town. Whenever i can't find her i don't look for her i look for her hair. Lol We like our hair big, bold and beautiful. This up do is perfect this summer as it is far too hot to have your hair plastered to your face. This is a fuss free way to look sexy this summer.

Colour Block Top: 11.99 Newlook

Belted Chinos: £24.99 New Look

Pendant : Accessorize

Bangles : River Island £3 in sale


Wedged Shoes : River Island




Me & Sumaiya were really happy with our budget buys today. We came home with quite a lot and didn't spend even half as much as we expected to. I am definitely a happy bunny today honestly.


Have you been shopping in the sales yet? Where are the best places to shop for you? What did you buy?

Get Interview Ready!!

Hi Dolls!!!

Hope everyone is well,just want to start this post with a massive thank you to everyone with your feedback it's very much appreciated we physically cannot believe that we have had so many views!out target was 1,000 for the week and we are currently on 11,95!we are so impressed..keep showing your support by joining our facebook and twitter page!!

Right okay now to the post,today we are going to go over interview questions and answers and also an ideal outfit which willl make your interviewer scream YOUR HIRED :D

So whether your in college or university or working, at some point of our lives we all have an interview and it can be very nerve recking so today we are going to discuss work interviews!!

First things first you have to look the part right? here are our favoutire pieces to purchase for an interview remember you can mix and match with ONE pair of good fit black trousers!! Heres how:

Black River Island Palazzo Pants: £35.00

These honestly flow soo well,if your on the shorter side (like me) then you will be amazed at what they do for your legs.















River Island: Cream Peter Pan Lace Top :£34.99

This gives a cute classic look,tuck into the trousers with a thin tan or the belt included paired with some bangles and VIOLA! :)
















 Jane Norman Pussy Bow Blouse: Reduced to £15.00

I bought this blouse at the full price at £35.00,and I was so satisfied with it,and now its been reduced more then half price it's a MUST HAVE team with some oversized vintage jewellry for a sophisticated look,wear with black palazzo's or with some tailored shorts :)















Miss Selfridge Nude Tie Neck Shirt £32.00

Cream and black elasticated puffy sleeeves

Team With: Black Palazzo's, Camel Colour Shorts,Wide Leg Trousers.


















 River Island Black Court Platform Shoes £45.00

Pair these killer heels with any smart interview outfit and the look will officially be complete :D













I know that some of these pieces might seem a little pricey but the quailty speaks for itself, it will last you AGES!I have a pair of shoes and trousers that are solely kept for interviews and I have had them for ages this because realistically how many interviews would you go for in a year?

Job interviewing never seems to get any easier - even when you have gone on more interviews than you can count. You are meeting new people, selling yourself and your skills, and often getting the third degree about what you know or don't know.

-Prepare
-Watch
-Get Ready
-Be On Time
-Stay Calm
- SHOW WHAT YOU KNOW!

We have been for many many interviews ourselves and we find that with a customer service role/sales assistant these were questions that ALWAYS came up:

When have you provided good customer service?
The interviewer is looking for you to highight one situation and provide steps that you took in order to go the "extra mile" for the customer.

When have you dealt with an angry customer and what was the outcome?
The interviewer is looking for you to identify the customers issue,put yourself in their shoes and always remember your representing the company, take appropriate steps in order to resolve the situation.

When have you reached a target and what steps did you take?
This could mean that you could talk about targets at work or even at college/university!!state what you do to achieve your target, what goals do you set yourself?

Have you ever recieved customer feedback?
This could be if a customer just said a simple "you have been great thanks alot" or it could be a major praise given to your manager which awarded you in an extra 15 minute break ;)

Why should we hire you?
The main question which I can promise you will definatly come on,this is your opportunity to totally SELL YOURSELF, take a few minutes to compare your job description to your abilities.As well as mentioning all the times you have been sucessful in your previous position.


 Good Luck..Be Yourself..Be Confident & Remember Always SMILE!!

Take Care Cause We Care..

Its A Girl Thing.. xoxo

pricey I know but defoz one to give more then
a compliment ;)

With the outfit done..come on now that takes a little stress of..still worrying?well below are 3 things not to worry about on a first date:

Dont Worry about..wether the date "means something"
sometimes a cigar is just a cigar-and a date is just a date.enjoy the food.engage in the banter.have fun!
every time you wonder whether this date is going to be the start of something new,or whether he'll call you afterwards is time your not appreciating the pretty candle lit room and the fact that hes trying to make you laugh! (Laugh)

Dont worry about..whether he wants a family.
okay so it is important that you have similar goals but trying to suss out a mans life goals on a first date will be transparent and self-defeating.leave this conversation at least until youve seen his lousy impression of mr bean!

Dont Worry about..paying for dinner at the place he picked.
Its the first date, and he asked, hes paying.why? because he wants to impress you.okay im not one to stereo type but I think when the bill comes the guy should grab it.and when he does do, reach for your wallet its a nice gesture.But you wont need it : P

Okay so worries over?now lets have a look as to what guys notice first about you..

Luscious Locks
"if a girls hair looks like it smells good,then Istart thinking what it would be like to bury my face in it"

A Big Laugh
"It shows that shes having a good time" remember if a guy can make a girl laugh he can make her do anything!

Your Pucker
"Her lips are one of the first places my eyes go to" (vaseline should be your bff girls!)

A Sultry Strut
"You cant help but check out a girl who walks with a purpose,like she knows where shes going"

Perfect Posture
"It sends a message that the girl is comfortable with her body and proud of it"

So I hope this has helped all the girlies out there, I promise with these little tips handy he'll be on his knees before you know it : P remember to always be yourself ..

Let  us know what you think..join our facebook and twitter page to find out first as soon as a blog post or video has been created..

Lots of Love..

Sumaiya xoxo

Stripe Top also River Island £21.99

















Okay how cool would these 3 items be as an outfit?? I LOVE THEM!!! These Pink slingbacks are for £60.00 from River Island. Yes i am a TOTAL River Island Junkie. If you ever run into me on a River Island Sale day i will probably be drowning in clothes and bags. Sometimes someone asks me where is your entire outfit from and expect loads of different stores and i'm like River Island top to toe. hahaha Me & Sumaiya are actually hooked on River Island, we walk into River Island on the day of a wardrobe crisis and walk out with an entire outfit and a smile!
This item is exclusive to the website so you won't find it in store.








I love these Yellow peep toe slingback heels ALSO River Island! SHOCKER!!
LOL these are £64.99
These shoes were spotted on Celeb Mollie King. I stole the image from the River Island Website because i am a thief haha lol hence the text on the image.

Until next time. Lots of Love
