I wonder that now Katie Price and Peter Andre have broken up she will give me her wedding ring, i know most people thought i was tacky but i loved it.  I am not saying that i would like one the same when i get married (not that i could afford it) but it would be a nice ring for the odd night i get to go out.

Katie and Peter have both made their first public appearance today with Katie strutting her stuff in a tiny white biking up a catwalk (with a great tan after her stay at the Maldives0 and Peter was on stage with a lot of sexy strippers for Here Come the Boys dance show at the London O2.

I hate signing up to news letters with high-street shops as i am now on lots of Business telemarketing lists which also means I get lots of phone calls asking me if I would like to go on other mailing lists and trying to sell me things as well.

There is a reson I only signed up to the certain one I did and that was because I wanted to be kept up to date with what that certain store had in store at the time.  One thing that made me really laugh was Mothercare calling me which I thought one of my friends had set me up with but it turned out that my details had been passed on.

The one catalogue that I swear by is the Asos one that comes through monthly, it has some amazing style ideas but you don’t have to buy them from there (most of the items are designer which I cannot afford) as most high street shops also have a similar version at a cheaper price.

So remember all when signing up instore for either a updated brochure to be sent to your house or an email of the new products you can buy always tick the box at the bottom which states that they cannot give your details to other companies.

There are loads of sales on at the moment so this means all the shop windows have banners advising of this, i know there is a recession on at the moment but i must say it is an advantage to my shopping habit as it means i get more for my money.

I am loving the Dorothy Perkins sale at the moment and they even had half price jewellery online which i may have purchased a few items.  Looks like i am going to have to buy a bigger jewellery box and even a new wardrobe to go with them.

The sales in my favorite shops beat the buy one get one free offers in the supermarket during the depressing weekly shop.

If you log on to the websites you can sign up for weekly or daily newsletters so that you don’t miss the online deals when they happen and they have some great deals so why not sign up during your lunch break and waste some time and to annoy your friends sign them up but use their work email so they get in trouble.. he

As i have bought a new home recently i have been looking at new Column radiators to try and make my place look more retro as I don’t want it to look all new and pristine but when looking for a brand new one they were very hard to get hold of.

I really don’t want a second hand column radiator as then I will have to paint it and it wont look the same but than I was thinking why not bling it up a bit and paint it different colours but my boyfriend said it was a definate no to that idea.

After spending ages trawling around shops I went online and found loads of Column radiators, it just shows that you have to shop around before finding exactly what you want.

After looking at them I have decided to kit out most of the rooms in my house with them but am worried that it may make a modern house look dated but I got them for such a cheap price that I can always change them back.

If anyone else has changed a moder house into a old house by installing Column radiators let me know how it went.

I am in the middle of decorating my new appartment at the moment and want to make it look really retro so have been looking for some bean bags as they seem to be very common at the moment and be bought almost everywhere.

I have been everywhere form some (Ikea, Tesco Online etc) and have not been able to find any really nice ones but than the other day i found some awesome bean bags ones when i searched online at different sites as they had loads of unusual styles.

I was shocked though when searching as a lot of the bean bags i was looking at were for animals, especially dogs, and they had all sorts of bling on ranging from diamonties to diamonds (for the likes of Paris Hilton as i would never be able to afford one).

Why would you buy your beloved pet a bean bag with diamonties on when you can go down to your local pet store and purchase a dog bed for cheaper which are just the same.

A tip for all looking for something unusual shop around on the internet you may just find something that no one else you know will have.

thomas-saboI tried to buy this bracelet the other day in the Trafford Centre, i went to Selfredges and the Thomas Sabo shop they have and they did not have this in my size, they had lots of small, Large and Extra Large but no Medium.

I threw a right paddy (i am a child when i cant get my own way) and stormed out.

Why is it when you really want something wether it be clothes, jewellery or any other thing you can think of and it always seems to ruin your shopping trip.

What annoyed me most was that my Boyfriend got what he went for and i came away with nothing…

With the summer approaching fast all my friends seem to be stocking up on Bikini’s and other beachwear items.  River Island and Topshop have some gorgeous Bikinis / swimsuits, beach bags and sarongs.  The bikini’s come in a vast range of colours, shapes and styles.

Believe it or not though Primark have loads of bikini’s but the only problem is, is that most of them are not mix and match top and bottom so you cant get the top in a different size to the bottom and i love getting a different top to the bottoms for a different look.

When buying a bikini always remember to add a bit of bling a sparkle by getting oversized jewellery but always remember to take it off when sun bathing….

This seasons hottest sunglasses shape is the new ray ban clubmasters and these are being worn on some of the hottest celebrities like Sienna Miller, Mischa Barton to name a couple.

These glasses come in a range of colours from bright red, bright green, azure which is hot this season and tortoiseshell.

These don’t suit me so I would never buy a pair but I bet it depends on what your dress sense is like as well.

The good thing though is the price, they are only £120 which I do not think is too bad.

I have been looking for Thomas Sabo charm’s for my new bracelet and have been lookign on Ebay as i am a new member and they are all fake.

They dont cost that much at all and dont get why people would choose to get things which are fake when you can just get the real thing.

I know everyone is different and have their own opinions but i once had a fake Louis Vuitton handbag and just felt like a skank with it even though most people could not even tell it was fake.

If you dont agree with me leave me a message….

with the end of the school year approaching fast i have been looking online at the best prom dresses and accesories and have not found a lot.  Ebay are selling a few dresses which is a cheap way of buying your dress but be carefull as they may not fit you than you are stuck with it if there is a no returns option.

Mikey Jewellery have loads of funky accesories to go with your perfect prom dress but you can always go for a cheaper option and go to New Look or even try Asda.

prom-dressA good option for a dress would be the likes of Debenhams, House of Fraser, John Lewis or just go online and see what is for offer.

A prom dress is not always for your end of school prom these can also be worn for Black Tie charity events, a special occasion (eg 21st birthday etc) or even just to dress up for a night out with your mates to make it a bit more interesting.

I never had a prom when i left school as we were not the best students in my year so i may not be the best person to be giving advise.
