I'm off to Great Yarmouth tomorrow with my family for a week :) We all need this break so much. It's long over due. 

We have a bit off a family tradition that we always have a bit of a make over/ neaten up before we go. Which included shopping and haircuts! 
Just as well my lil sister Lee is a hairdresser and obsessed with nails. 
So of course we get them free of charge :)   

No I was in desperate need of a hair cut because as much as I love the big bang theory, told you I was a bit of a geek. I was one turtle neck and bright coloured trouser, away from being Howard wolowitz twin sister lol  
As you can see here!     

I've had many different colours and short styles over the years as you can see below but I think a short crop is deffo my signature style and I don't think I could go back now.

So last night my sister finally cut and coloured my hair. 
It was meant to be a bright purple but disappointingly it came out a much more softer purple.   I've tried all different colours and brands but not this one so far. Lee has used their red alot of times and has always had great results. Just not on mine lol. I wouldn't say it covered my greys much as they now loo like a pinky/ purple highlight but i do like the end result. 

I always ask my sister for a girlie but edgy cut, that doesn't take much work and styling. So it normally involves having a shorter side, that I love. 

After what felt like thosands of photos, I finally have a selfie that I actually like haha. So here it is, my 2013 holiday hair cut and first selfie I've ever liked!   drum roll please..........

I like that one despite the fact I'm 30 and look like a teenage chipmunk haha.


Before doing hair, my sister was focused on our nails. Shes brought the whole gel nail stuff that shes pretty much in love with at the moment. I intentionally wanted something simple and pink, maybe stripes, that would go with everything for my holiday. After mums internet inspiration search,  here's what I shall be rocking this week:    

My sister has recently set up a hair and nails facebook page if anyone wants to check her out: https://www.facebook.com/LeesHairNails 
Heres what my sister Lee and mum will be sporting this week, both done by Lee. 

Anyway, I'm outta here, feel free to leave me a comment below or tell me what your rocking this summer.
I'm off for a week so keep your fingers crossed that I get some nice, hot dry weather and I'm brave enough to get my first bikini one, in 30 years lol.

Until next time,
Donna xxxxxxx 

If you saw my last blog you'd pretty much guess I'm abit of a fan of skull prints and well just skulls in general. I love to mix a skull print with something cute and girlie. That's my idea outfit. 
I'm on holiday tomorrow (only great yarmouth but a breaks a break)  so was out shopping and found some gorgeous new skull items :)

On my first shopping trip, I got this beautiful new satchel bag.  I saw it in a local little independent clothes shop on the walk into town. It was sat in the window  calling me "Donna, Donna don't you want?" I decided to be good and get the bits I went shopping for first and thought if I have money left I'm getting it. As all my goodie I brought were little bargains, I had cash left and it was a race back home before the shop closed. We got there at 5.10 so I was bloody lucky lol.

This lovely bag was only £20 total bargain!! I loved the mix of the skulls and roses. It's pretty big so prefect for on holiday as I can carry a drink and a light jacket just in case.

Sadly I can't share a link to where you can buy this bag as they don't have one but the shops called "Fashion avenue" if your ever in the  Harlow area check them out :)

My next skully buy was a skirt. 
I'd not tried the whole wiggle skirt/dress trend as being a petite 5ft women, I kinda guessed they wouldn't really do much for me, but I found a gorgeous pink and blue aztec  wiggle skirt. As it was only £7 I took a chance and now love them. Can't show you a photo as its now packed ready to go. As it was so comfy I decided to search for another one to travel in. Off to ebay I went and found this:  

For only £4.75 and with p+p only  £1.99 how could I saw no!  This fits so spot on and I'd say it finishes mid calf on me. Pretty much where I'd want it. 
You can buy it here or they have a great choice of styles if skulls aren't your thing :)  
For my drive to great yarmouth I'm planning on teaming this skirt with my cute little top and my chunky studded ring.  

This little top was from primark, I find it so comfortable and being loose fitting prefect for the summer. I've since brought it in a about 5 other colours as they just go with anything. My studded ring I brought about a year ago online from here  but  it seems like they have sold out of this ring so I was lucky :)

my last skull buy comes from primark.

Every girl loves new undies and as I've seen to have had a late growth spurt and have grown. I've needed to stock up on some new bras. Who could resist this pretty skull set for only £4!? see no one :P

Anyway these are my new buy and if  I don't catch you guys before my holiday, have a great week and keep safe :)
Feel free to leave me a comment below and tell me what you think. Would you buy these?

till next time,
 Donna xxxxxx
