WHAT I WORE



The blue trousers are the same style as the ones I showed in my last outfit post. They fit totally different, and I think it’s down to the fact these have pockets. I really like the spring like colours at the mo, and I love mixing colours about. The coral vest top was £4 from Primark, and I got it in a purple colour too. My amazing necklace is from This Charming Girl. It's so pretty and the colours change in the light! Jackie sent me a really lovely email asking if she could give my readers a discount, so how could i say no?! She is so lovely! All you got to do is use the code VIPXO for 15% off! You have 2 weeks to use it too. She's also given me another necklace which will be featured in a giveaway really soon!

I’m going to be a bit MIA this week. Uni work has taken over my life, I need to dye all my fabric, paint on it and get all my toiles done before the week is out. 14 hour+ days will be my week. So unfortunately my blog will take a back seat. I’m also in London next weekend for my cousins baby shower (awhhh!!) then I’m back home for my birthday, then back to Leeds, then my friends are coming up so as you can imagine i'm going to be pretty busy. But I will be blogging, it just won’t be consistent.

I now have an iphone, I got persuaded by 3 and the deal was really good. I knew i'd regret it if i didn't. Who needs money to eat anyways?! So now i NEED a really tacky case with VIP in jewels on the back. If anyone can hook me up that would be fab!

For anyone that’s followed my blog for a while, you’ll know that way back in October I started doing scrabble jewellery etc etc. In recent months and even in weeks I’ve seen more and more girls doing the whole scrabble thing. I’m not claiming I was the first, nor have I ever said that no one else can. I’m all for everyone giving something a go once, but i am quite disheartened that so many have now decided to do the same thing. So I’ve decided to stop. It’s just not worth it now with so many others doing it, everyone’s doing different prices so at the end of the day someone selling will always get messed about. So I’ve ordered my last stock, reduced prices (which will probably get even more reduced) and I’ve put a 22% code in place (VIP22). But it’s time to call it quits. It makes me feel sad actually, because you know the whole theme of my blog is scrabble but hey, gotta move on to better things. So I’m still keeping my shop, it’ll just be different things in there. If anyone wants to bulk buy remaining letters please let me know, I’d rather see them go to a good home and will get used, otherwise they’ll probably get thrown away.

BRB!

  2. Really sorry to hear you're going to stop selling those little rings! Although they aren't my style, they seem to be very popular and you were the first person I seen selling them! Bigger and better things are ahead for you I'm sure! :) love this outfit too! Xoxo

  3. Just have to say that I've been reading your blog for a while and so far this is my favourite outfit post!!! I know the outfit's a simpler one but I guess I like it so much because I don't wear a lot of orange but you made it look so nice!!!

    Also, I WISH that you made scrabble necklaces with J's :( I've seen lots of people on the net making scrabble jewelry but I like yours the most because it's made with plastic letters and I love how you put the chain the corner (rather than the centre).

    I'm considering changing my name so it starts with a more common letter. Otherwise - any chance you have a J lying around somewhere? I'll pay double!!

  4. The Charming Girl has some really gorgeous stuff and your necklace is just beautiful.

    So sad that you won't be making your scrabble jewellery anymore, you were the first one I ever knew about doing it! But time to move on to bigger and better things I suppose!

    Good luck this week with your uni work!

  5. I absolutely adore the vest from Primark, I can't wait to get home from university and pick up a few of those in different colours. The pocket detail is a bit different for Primark.

    -vicki!

  6. Lovely outfit as always Victoria!
    So sorry to here that yuo won't be selling your scrabble jewellery anymore, like you said it really went well with your whole blog theme, as it's got that scrabble theme, so the scrabble items were great! Like you said though, time to move on to better things, i'm sure you'll find something else!

  8. Awwwwww

    I am also disheartened to hear that you will no longer be doing Scrabble jewelry, especially because it's something you love and it's obviously so personal to you. I am guessing the girls that started doing it are girls who have been following you for some time? :(

  10. These colours go gorgeously together!
    So jealous you have an iphone now, I am still stuck with a blackberry because when I signed up they only had 24month contracts. Can't wait til October when my contract is up and I can leave Orange and go somewhere better and get a lovely iphone4.

  11. I'm really sorry to hear you're giving up the jewellery, I wore a ring you made me the other night and literally EVERYONE asked me where it was from!!

  12. Ah i'm really sorry to hear that you'll be stopping the scrabble jewellery. I've seen ALOT of people selling it recently too but even if you weren't the first to sell it, you were the first blogger that I saw selling it. I'm sure you'll have some things in your shop anyway :)

  17. Sorry to hear about the death of Vipxo scrabble rings. I love mine and wear it all the time, you were the first blogger I saw selling them so kudos for that but I can totally understand how you're feeling.

    But look at it this way....you're stopping cos it's your choice (which has got to count for something) and going onwards and upwards to better things. Long live the Vipxo Creations!!

  18. Jeezo Victoria, can't believe you're giving up your scrabble stuff! That's so sad :( <3

  19. I hope you enjoy your birthday, as hectic as it sounds you'll have an awesome time :D
    It's a shame you're stopping the Scrabble jewellery - most people I saw with the rings on here bought them from you, and my friends love the ones I bought off you near Christmas. I hope this leads you to better things that not many people will have thought of themselves.

    Jess xx

  21. I love your outfit posts where you're wearing trousers, you look fab! I think you should look at the scrabble thing as a positive, you can now do something different and even better! x

  22. Aww sad that your going to stop selling your scrabble stuff as far as it goes you will always be the original in my book! I will be placing an order soon (early next week) so will get some before it goes.

    I love the outfit and will miss you blogging, but your work comes first at the moment. You best still be on twitter every now and than so I can send you crappy you tube videos.

    aww enjoy the baby shower, I hope we get the sun back here was grim today. xxxx
