Surprise Gift- Victoria Jackson Lipgloss purse

Hi all!
 
So I'm back from my few days away to Donegal, it was the best craic in ages! A group of us went for my friends 21st (mines is just around the corner) and she also leaves early September for Germany so it was a great last farewell for her to celebrate.
 
 
So when I got home my brother surprised me with this gift. He was away to Salou himself with his fiancé so I'm really surprised he picked me up something, not that I was complaining. The case alone I would have been happy about, it is stunning! A mock croc skin (I hope!) case that easily opens to reveals a sleek hidden pouch with two lip-glosses inside by Victoria Jackson. The case is also slim enough to hold my phone inside and maybe some ID, so it could well easily become my new purse for nights out.
 
 
 
 
 
The two lip-glosses I'm abit let down by. Then again however, I wasn't expecting anything therefore I had no hope in the first place so technically I can't complain. Now, Victoria Jackson is a brand that I am unaware of but a quick google search and she's an American brand that specialise in barely there make up, which I am not at all fond off. There were no shades on the glosses but they were double ended. At the end of each was a clear lip plumper. The colour end is what I was let down by.
 
 
 
 
On the left, it looks like a gorgeous deep burgundy red but what came out was barely even a hint of pink on the lips. The right shade was very shimmery that I don't really like so the colour glosses are abit useless to me, I may as well just wear the plumper alone. However, I will say that they are not at all sticky and are very moisturising and smell lovely. It was more of a very light tea tree smell, very fresh and tingly.
 
 
 
 
So all in all, a lovely surprise gift! Even though I am not so fond of the glosses I will always keep one handy inside on a night out for a quick touch up, along with my phone and ID that it now holds. Result!

Blog sale!

Hi guys! I'm having a blog sale, I need to get some spending money up for my holidays next month so here it goes! I though it would be easier than ebay as I do have a good few things and I will be adding to it. Im not sure how long i'll be keeping it open for but please keep in mind that I will be away from the 18th-25th June. Also, I currently have exams on in uni and teaching practise throughout June, so I will try and post these ASAP but will more than likely be at the weekend. Only open to UK and ROI residents only sorry!
 
 
Ok so everything will be 2nd class p+p royal mail to try and keep costs down.
I will charge £2.40 for each item but for the shoes they will be £4.00 without a box to keep costs down. If you are looking more than 1 item please email me or leave a message below and I will get back to you. I am thinking that if there is more than 1 item that can fit in one package then I will not charge additional prices, but if they need to be divided then I will have to charge extra but I will try everything I can to avoid this. Please email me for a price if you are ROI.
 
For the cosmetics because they are smaller I will only charge £1.00 for p+p, or if you buy an item of clothing and a cosmetic then there will not be an extra charge for the cosmetic.
 
Leave a comment below on what you would like and how many items and I will get back to you asap with the overall price, including delivery. I will also refund if delivery is lower than expected.
 
All necklaces will be £2.00 with a £1.00 delivery charge. If you are ordering more than one, there will be an additional 40p per item.

no7 eyeshadows brand new, never been used. A mixture of colours (sorry this picture doesnt do it much justice) matt and shimer shades, from a light beige, blue, green, brown and greyish black. Sorry but there is no description of the exact shades given.  £4.50
 
 
 









asos size 12 white tulip dress, BNWT. In perfect condition, there is a slight black marking that I have taken a picture off, but it is not very noticeable and Im sure that it will come out in the wash. Beautiful shape, quarter length sleeves, nips in at the waist with a voluminous bottom half and a tiny splt at the back. Very 1960's. it is quite see through however. Bought for £30, will sell for £15.
 
 
 
 
 
asos size 12 lace corset. this has only ben worn a handful of times, I'd say no more than 4 times if even. Beautiful shape, in perfect condition, zip runs down the front with moulded cups for support. Will sell for £8.

 








 

 
a pair of Pull and Bear oxblood leather look trousers. These are so ROCK N'ROLL! Size 12, skinny leg with low waist. zips at the bottom of each leg. Brand new with tags, these were bought on sale (£19.99 were originally £29.99 as the tag says) will sell for £13.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
size 14 Lipsy dress. This was bought about 3 years ago at over £100, and it has only been worn twice. For my pre-formal and one New Years a few years ago, Ive never found an appropiate occassion to wear this dress as it is a beautiful cocktail dress. The coulours are a mixture of blues, greys and silevers to this beautiful sea like effect, the only way I can describe it. I had red hair at the time and I always felt like a mermaid in it, daft I know! Gorgeous boned strapless design, really pulls you in and gives support. Some pleats that gives a sligh peplum effect. the layered effect of this dress is just beautifula and is very flattering on. It is difficult to describe and these images do it no justice, but trust me it is beautiful! In perfect condition and is like new,  it has been in my wardrobe with a plastic covering. I will sell this for £30 but I am open to any offers. A size 14 but I would say it would fit a 12.





 


 

  

H&M bag shorts. Size 12. In excellent condition, high waisted with turn ups on each leg, and a belt to be tied into a bow. will sell for £5.

 
 
 



 
 
A gorgeous Mad Men style top! Peplum in style with a beautiful metallic finish. It is hard to describe the colour, in one light it looks like an off white metallic but with a silver sheen to it. Bought in Dunnes stores for £15, will sell for £6.00. A side zip and decorative buttons to the back, I loved this but did not fit. Even though its a 12 I would say it would fit a 10 also. There is a slight make up stain that I have only noticed, but once washed this will come out.
 
 
 



 
A pair of black jaquared print trousers. Size 14 from Dorothy Perkins from the Lux line. Only worn 12, too baggy for me to get the desired fit. A slim leg, high waisted with gold zip detailing, they look so expensive and give such a luxurious feel to any outfit. I would say that they would be a regualr length, so 32" on the leg but these are not exact measurements!! Will sell for £8.
 
 


 
 
Pair of Stylistpick Britt black wedges that are SOLD OUT ONLINE! RRP £45, size 6. I will sell these for £20 (Also open to offers). Remember that they will not be sent with a box to keep costs down. They are too high for me, brand new as you can see, still with stickers. they have just been worn around the house.
 

H&M pink skirt, size 14. I love this skirt, a real mini skirt in length, unfortunately my legs aren't what they used to be :( well loved but in excellent condition so will sell for £4.00.
 
 


Asos geometric print skirt size 12. In excellent condition, 2 large pockets on the side and is a mini skirt. Will sell for £4.00

Fashion inspiration

My Fashion Inspiration



So today I have decided to dedicate today's post to one of my very many fashion inspirations. Albeit a tad strange, but isn't fashion? Isn't that the joy out of it, to seek inspiration from the most unusual of sources? So, if you are a follower of my twitter (@rebelroseblog) and as you can tell, the background of my blog it is indeed Cruella De Ville! I adore her! Well, lets clear up one thing, I do not skin puppies and I do not have henchmen! I am against animal cruelty, although I do believe that Cruella is a strong independent woman who isn't afraid to exercise her right to boss people around, I do admire her for that. I have a thing for women tyrants, they're somewhat bearable when wearing heels. 


Of course I take more inspiration from the 1996 film adaption of 101 Dalmations with the stunning Glenn Close as Cruella, and seeing how she was head of a Fashion house within the film (our very own Donatella) it was only fitting that she would swan gracefully around in couture ball gown dresses and elaborate head pieces that would put Lady GaGa to shame. 






As these stills from the movie show, she is indeed a fashion icon! Look at the hair, the make up, they way she is poised! She has style, confidence, and the gracefulness (or wickedness) to pull it off. Another admirable thing I love is that nobody would think of her age. Nobody would think that she dresses too old/ too young/ too mainstream or that she even looks old, because she doesn't! She has the traits of knowing who she is and dressing for herself that I can only hope to acquire someday. And I LOVE how Cruella does Chanel! 

Here are some sketches that I just adore of her outfits that can easily be made for the catwalk, everything about her just screams glamour!






Recently, for a friends birthday who held a Disney themed night, I dressed up as Cruella, who better else to dress up as? If only I had some henchmen to do my dirty work for me....

The outfit was really easy to come across, just a figure hugging LBD that everybody basically has in their wardrobe, a fur stole that I took off one of my winter coats, red shoes and gloves, vintage style jewellery, a toy dog  and a hat with 1940's vintage style netting in dalmation print that I got off eBay  So easy to do and barely spent a penny!

Here are some images although the are not the best so I apologize for the quality.





So what do you think? Is she a style icon or just a hate figure in children's fairytales? I'd love to hear what you think :)
