Well, look at me being all organised! If you who watched my last video (April Fashion Finds) you might recognise the top quarter of this outfit (if you're super visually aware!). Plus, my hair was still blonde when I took these photos! Anywhooo... I've tried to be an organised blogger recently as I've got my last ever academic commitments until the end of May. Last chance saloon buddies, so I'd better make a darn good effort!

Believe it or not, these shoes were only £3 from boohoo a few months back - they were the last pair! I've mentioned them before, but I can't get over what an absolute bargain that was. I can get over, however, the despicable blister they gave me on my walk to and from uni last week though. Jeez Louise. It's basically an open wound - TMI (apologies). They seem to have developed some kind of vendetta against me, spiky devils.

Right, back to this 5,000 word project, in which the word 'sexual' is ridiculously overused. I'm not sure whether including that is a good idea for my search engine leads... especially with the mention of pleather... Anyway. Enjoy your bank holiday worker beeeeez. Oh I've also got a blog sale here now! More to come :)

Ps. If the title seems a bit odd, I ate a satsuma that had reaaallly leathery skin the other day (think granny in Benidorm), so I found this amusing that I could tie it into this post. Yes, it's a bit weird, but that satsuma had character and deserves recognition. Ok?

April Fashion Finds

Comic strip print tee | Primark | £6

Sunglasses | Primark | £2

Bag | MandMDirect | £10.39

Lipsticks | 17 Supreme Shine Lipsticks | £4.99  (or £2.50 with voucher!)

It's bargain finds of the month time again! So for April I've chosen three fashion finds and one cheeky beauty find. All super affordable and things I've bought this month that should all still be available for you to buy. I won't ramble on, as I'm sure you'll have enough of that from the video! But as for the lippies, I've got a 'favourite lipsticks' post coming up soon, so you'll be able to see what they look like on then!

Today marked my last ever day of lectures (I've even dyed my hair purple / lilacy to rebel, I'm not ready to be an employee yet - wah!). I don't think it's actually hit me (like a massive old whale, as I'm expecting it to some point) that I'll (hopefully) never have academic education again and will have to start applying for jobs soon. Oh, scary. 

Enjoy the three day weekend chaps - I'll just be doing my final piece of coursework all weekend, boo! So no fun in the sun for moi. But I'm sure I'll just pig out on sweets as I tap away on my laptop as ever.

Ps. Voting closes very soon for the Company Blog Awards. If you'd like to, you can still vote for robynmayday.com as Best Thrifty Blog (category 9). Thanks to all who have voted! <3

Hi-Tops.

Oversized Tee | Missguided

Hamsa Hand Necklace | BHS  

Alexa Lookalike Satchel | MandMDirect *

Leopard Print Shorts |Primark

Vans Sk8-Hi Suede Hi Tops | MandMDirect *

I've been after some hi-top tingz for a while. I quite fancied some Nike Blazers you see, but everyone at uni (and even the geese on campus) has them, plus they're rather pricey. But I sniffed out these hi-top Vans on MandMDirect for just £29.99 (real suede too!)- shaaaamazing. They're usually £59.99, so that's a 50% saving - spot on. Blazers seem to retail around the £70 mark now (ouch) so these are far more affordable and set me apart from the students and the geese.

Also, a £10 bag. Incredible I hear you cry. Yep, rivals Primark! And it's a pretty good dupe for the Mulberry Alexa. Satchels have grown on me since getting my Daisy Street one, so I felt a satchel-lovin' bond with this one as soon as I spotted it (especially as it's so dang cheap!). I have serious love for black bags with gold hardware.

I'm looking a little sports luxe here aren't I!? Ohh trendy. Well, it's somewhat appropriate... my boyfriend is running a half marathon again this year. He raised money for Help for Heroes last year and this year will probably run for a stroke charity, causes he has personal ties to. I could never run a mile, let alone 13 point something, so I have massive respect for him and all the other runners! I've nominated him in Reward a Runner, MandMDirect's facebook competition where he can win some sports goods if he gets the most votes. So if you'd like to, just scroll down the page and click the tick box next to my face to vote for him! If you know anyone running a marathon or half marathon this year, you can nominate them too :)!
