Buffy, Captain America and Me

Yes that's me in a cat suit with Buffy and Captain America! My mum got this drawing done as a present and I thought it was too good not to share with you. 

Buffy and Captain America are two of my favourate fictional characters, who watched Avengers and didn't want to marry Captain America? He has that old school American charm that can make any girl swoon. 

Its weird seeing myself as a drawing, I always wondered what I would look like if somebody drew me. Obviously this isn't my body, its my face on cat woman but you can probably tell that because I actually have boobs in this picture! I now know what I would look like with a decent cleavage. 

The lady that drew this can draw you with any celebrity that you like, yes ladies (and gents) that does mean you can have a drawing of yourself and Ian Somerhalder!

You can have a look at Accidental Artistry's page here I think her work would make a great present or treat for yourself! The drawings have so much detail and I can't wait to frame mine. 

If you could have a drawing of yourself and any celebrity who would it be?

Outfit of the day & a new car

Jacket: Fashion Union, Jumper, Skirt and Shoes: New Look, Socks: Topshop

It's been far too long since my last post, I've missed blogging but I've been so busy and I'm tired all of the time lately. I am however full of motivation now and I really am back, and for good! You can't get rid of me that easily. 

I took these pictures 2 weeks ago (see I didn't forget about you!), but wasn't really sure I liked them so didn't post them, however I want to start being a lot less critical of myself and my outfits. I think that's part of the reason I haven't been blogging, I just don't feel like I've looked good enough to take pictures and blog lately. 

Since I last blogged I bought myself a car, I got a Citroen c3 in a lovely light blue and I love it! It’s the perfect little car for me. It’s used (I'm not made of money) but it’s now mine and I'm glad to finally have a car, although I hate driving it. I'm not a confident driver and I had a horrible panic attack at the thought of driving today. This morning I was full of confidence and decided I’d drive to work, it was the first time driving in the car on my own so I was nervous. It was rush hour and I had to drive on the Dual carriageway but it wasn't too bad and I made it in one piece. However being the anxious person I am I managed to convince myself that I couldn't drive home after work and that I was going to stall in the middle of the road and not be able to start the car again. I had a horrible panic attack and was stuck at work for half an hour after I finished because I couldn't bring myself to leave and drive home. Eventually I jumped into the car and the journey was fine, I don't know why I was being so silly!

Does anyone have any advice for a new driver?

On a side note who's watched Iron Man yet? I watched it on Monday and absolutely loved it! 

Polka dot dress

Jacket: New Look,  Dress: Primark, Brogues: Dorothy Perkins

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I keep making excuses but the truth is as most of you know I started a new job over a month ago and I am so tired most of the time! It's taking a lot of getting used to having a job where I actually use my brain. 

This is another work outfit, although it’s rather smart I actually really like the dress and brogue combination. I wear heels to work a lot so it’s nice to have the occasional day wearing flats. 

Some of you following me on twitter may already know but me and my mum have opened an online shop! It’s a Jewellery shop and most of the stock is handmade be either my mum or me. If you fancy having a look then head over to foreverdreaming.co.uk

And on another happy note I passed my driving test on Friday, so this week I am busy hunting for a car! Car shopping is actually really difficult it’s nothing like shoe shopping so I have a feeling its going to take me a while. Any advice for finding the perfect car?

Flared jeans and fur

Coat: Topshop, Jumper: NewLook, Jeans: Mango, Bag: Primark

I've had these flared jeans from Mango for months now but haven't really had the chance or confidence to wear them. I'm usually a skinny jeans kind of girl but it's nice to try something a little different. 

I'm sure you have noticed from my recent outfit of the day blog posts that I have been wearing a lot of office clothes lately so its nice to just wear jeans at the weekend! 

With my new job I finally have weekends off so I'm thinking about arranging a blogger meet up in the next few months somewhere in the midlands area. If this might interest you then leave me a comment below so I can see if enough people will be interested! 

To the office i go

Jacket: River Island, Blouse: Boohoo, Trousers and Shoes: NewLook, Bag: Primark

As I said in my last post I recently got a new job, I'm working in an office (as a digital marketing executive) so I've had to get used to wearing office clothes. It' taking a little bit of getting used to as I really like wearing jeans these days! But on the plus side I get to wear heels! 

This is the type of outfit I have been wearing; I hope you don't mind me showing you my office outfit of the day. I know it's different to my usual style but it's all I’m wearing at the moment so it's the only thing I have to take outfit of the day photos of! 

Have any of you posted any office outfits? I would love to see what you wear. 

I also forgot to mention that I got a domain for my blog so you can now find me at www.tanesha-marie.com (although my old blogspot url will still get you here!)

Red Penguins

Coat: River Island, Shirt: Asos, Disco Pants: Birthday gift, Shoes: Topshop

Hello strangers it’s been a while! Sorry it’s been so long but my camera has been playing up so I haven't been able to take any outfit photos or film any videos, however I think I have sorted out the problem so fingers crossed. 

I've been super busy since I lasted posted. I started a new job on the 6th of March so I’ve been busy going to London and Liverpool for meetings. So far I love my new job and it’s great to have a new challenge. It was also my birthday on the 12th :)

Hopefully I will be able to take some outfit posts during the week; I have to wear office clothes so prepare for something a little different! 

I've missed blogging the last 2 weeks so I really hope my camera doesn't decide to go all weird on me again, stupid Jessops! 

Cybercandy

Take-Out Candy*

Never have I been so excited to get a parcel in the post, I have an incredibly sweet tooth and I love American candy so when Cybercandy asked me if I’d like to review one of their products I literally jumped at the chance. 

I chose this amazing Chinese take-out box that was filled with American pick and mix. I'm not 100% sure how to review this because all I want to say is it was amazing and it all tasted so good (well all apart from the fire ball that set my mouth on fire, it was super-hot!)

My favourite thing in the box had to be the vanilla tootsies, black taffy and what I think was tootsie midgees. I loved the variation of different products; it was a great way to try a variety of different products that I've wanted to try. American candy is just so much tastier then English sweets! 

I think this would make a great present and I'm probably going to buy one for my boyfriend and maybe his brothers for their birthdays. They’re such a unique little idea and I think it would be fun to buy as a present with some chopsticks. 

Cybercandy also do loads of other sweets and tasty goodies from all over the world, I’m already planning on buying some Averys Passionfruit- lime soda, Razzles (if there good enough in 13 going on 30 there good enough for me!), and the Cybercandy Mystery parcel.

Has anyone tried anything from Cybercandy? I'd love to hear what your favourite candy/sweets are from all over the world!
