Good morning, Happy Monday; hope you survived the weekend! What are your plans for this week? Anything exciting on the horizon?
We’re expecting another “big freeze” later this week, so I’m making the most of the currently tolerable temperatures and embracing colour again.
Not that our big freezes are anything like those in the USA (and other countries) and this time I doubt it’ll be more than a slight flurry of snow!
This top is a Primark find, and the last thing left unworn from my shopping trip a couple of weeks ago. I’m clearly taken with the nude colour trend for spring, and added pastel tights that I had forgotten I owned.
Starting afresh with my tag and award resolution, Florrie has awarded me with this
So I have to tell you all ten things about me and then pass the award on to ten other bloggers.
1) I used to be quite a party animal and always the first to pass out drunk. Now I prefer quiet nights in and never touch alcohol. Does that make me boring? Perhaps so, but I am much more content.
2) I have a thing against vowels and even numbers, they make me feel uncomfortable for some reason.
3) I am a total bookworm and a fast reader.
4) Although I’m very girly now, a few years ago I was more in to Judo, Kayaking and all kinds of outdoors adventure things. I’d still do it now if I had the chance.
6) I’m shy, especially around new people, but once I warm to you, you’ll have trouble shutting me up.
7) I am addicted to butternut squash.
8) I find Topshop hideously expensive and way out of my budget, so I pretend I don’t like the shop so I don’t get too sad about never being able to afford anything!
9) I have an awful short term memory but can remember the most insignificant little details about past events.
10) I get utterly random and insatiable food cravings from time to time. Past oddities have included bananas with dairylea “cheese”, and pineapple chunks dipped in ketchup. A great source of amusement to my friends.
Now, I’m meant to tag 10 bloggers but truly, I cannot narrow it down. So, if you want to do this, then consider yourself loved and awarded! I look forward to reading your answers.
Haircut tomorrow. I have NO idea what I’m going to end up with!

I love your outfit! Such a nice dress, and I’ve seen this top at Primark, wanted to buy it but then remembered I had a similar one (but you can never have to many nude tops, can you?! :D)
I don’t want another freeze!! I want the Spring to come for good please..
Can’t wait to see your new hairstyle 🙂
bonne journée xxx
Whoa more puffed sleeves, you’re on fire!
I’m a fellow bookworm too!!
Oh, can’t wait to see your new hair:)
Yay, a haircut – you said yourself you needed it! It’ll be great, I’m sure.
Those tights are such a gorgeous colour. Beautiful pattern and colours on the dress as well.
I don’t really like big shoulders as a trend but you certainly manage to rock them 😉
You look stunningly beautiful (as always) 🙂
Have a great week!
I love the tights, and sigh at a big freeze, we’ve had enough snow.

I love how you combined the dress with those sleeves, it looks really good.
Reading you tag was really enjoyable. I love butternut squash too, so much. You made me hungry now, so I’m off to make some lunch.
I love this outfit 🙂 The tights are fab, do you know where they were from?!! me wants :p xx
did u do it this collage??? i mean is hand made or photoshop?? 🙂 xx
So pretty! Love the sleeves 🙂

Super pretty…I love your jersey…Muaksss and Congratulations for your wizard…
Lovely outfit, as always! love the puff shoulders, can’t believe it’s Primark.
Good luck with the haircut, sure it’ll look fab!
X x
I feel the same about Topshop. So expensive for what it is – it breaks my heart. I buy my Topshop from Ebay now 😉
ps: the puff sleeves really suit you!
xx
love that top babe! i might be coming to london in two weeks if everything goes as planned. 🙂
xoxo
♥ the puffy sleeves! perfection.
enjoyed reading your 10 things – I’m with you on #1 (except I was never a party animal – just the last part heh heh), #2, #6, #7, #9, #10. LOL is that like almost every one ?
happy monday <3
Purple is a really good colour on you, and you’re lucky to be able to rock pastels like you do. Are the tights really the minty green colour I’m seeing them as? Because they’re super cute. 🙂
you always find the best things from Primark! That pink top with the lovely shoulder detailing is divine. Love!
Loved your 10 things! I am too a bookworm! Check out my giveaway – it is book orientated!
Outfit rocks once again!
Claire xx
Luved reading all of these interesting things about you and I luv the shoulders on ur outfit!!! Hope u had a good wknd xx
Oh those really cool sleeves again! Love them! Loved to learn those random facts about you. I’m a fellow book addict.

Love the outfit, wish it was spring already.
I’m also a book worm and a v fast reader, just love getting lost in the story 🙂
Also agree wholeheartedly about Topshop, they have some fab stuff, but it’s just sooo expensive 🙁
Looking forward to seeing your new haircut.
Jo xx
Beautiful as always.
I am the same for #3,6,9 and 10!
That top is amazing, I LOVE Primark!
Vicki xxx
P.S. Am sure whatevr you have done to your hair will look amazing.
pineapple in ketchup?!?! that is hilarious. i would never have thought to eat that together! loving your colours! we’ve been having snow/rain all day over here… not fun! xx
love the puffed sleeves beneath that printed piece! really liked resding these tid bits about you honey!
i am a bookworm too! Books are just brilliant.

big kiss
marian.

aawwww…..you look soo sweet in your outfit dear. 🙂
YAY to kayaking and all outdoor thingys!
i really want those tights ^^
hi nice floral designs looks cute
fashion looks great
Love the puffy sleeves and pastel tights! You the opposite of me, I have a fear of odd numbers!

That pink top looks adorable, I love the puffy sleeves! Topshop is not so great anymore. I used to love it but it is waaaay too expensive for all it is…£60 for dresses which are no better quality than Primark, etc? No thanks! xx
Beautiful outfit as always. And I am very much like you, hardly drink any alcohol and very rarely venture outside 😀 We’re not boring I’d just like to think of myself as a homebody. And I wanted to ask, how did you make the necklaces? xxx
What an incredibly gorgeous blouse lady! Wow. Congrats on your award!
Love that outfit and congrats on the award!
I love that dress!! Apart from black and white, purple is pretty much the only other colour in my wardrobe.
Pineapple and tomato ketchup isn’t that bad – think hawaiian pizza. I used to eat banana and cottage cheese sandwiches all the time at uni.
I can relate to being a fast reader. When I was little no-one ever believed that I read things. My parents and teachers used to do spot tests!!!

Love your girly outfit… girly suits you well sweetie! xoxo Happy Monday!
That strong-shouldered dress is just fantastic! You look so pretty, as usual.
I am NOT looking forward to the ‘big freeze’… I like snow, but not being cold!
i love your outfit!
Love the outfit.
Claudia xxx
I love learning all these facts about you almost as much as I LOVE this outfit of yours. You have totally made me want to get a puffed up shoulder top and pastel tights ASAP.
Also, I am totally the same way as you: shy when I first meet people, but afterwards I won’t stop talking to you. LOL
xoxo

pineapple in ketchup??? haha i thought i had some weird food cravings but i think that takes the cake (so to speak.) i used to be a party animal too but am now much more content to have quiet evenings. maybe we just grew up a bit? 🙂

Oh, do something wild with your hair! I think you’d look gorgeous with a bob and blunt fringe.
Love the exaggerated shoulders of your top. So pretty!
Pastel tights… hmmmm. I think I may have to do some of these….
I LOVE your dress!
Thursday the husband and I are going to dinner at an elegant restaurant. No idea what to wear–any suggestions?
oh i love your wonderful list!! so great getting to know those things about you!
and i love the puff sleeves! you’re so tiny so its such a great contrast! beautiful!
I love those shoulders! 🙂
have a lovely week, xoxo
i love how you layered this dress over that pink top (the shoulders are so intense, i love it) 🙂
i’m the opposite of you in terms of numbers. i have a love for even numbers since everything is paired off…if that makes any sense…haha
Love this outfit!! cant wait to see ur new hair do! 🙂

Pastel tights… yum yum! x
Hello! Mmmm… Butternut Squash, my tummy is all a rumbly! My sister has your top and it’s utterly lovely, looks fab with with jeggings. Pinapple chunks and ketchup, you know, it actually sounds good!!!
Have a fab week girlie! Thanks for the comment about my ring, it’s a silver fairy which I bought in Paris a few years ago. But…. she looks uh… on close inspection like she’s uh, touching herself! Quite bizzare! I didn’t realise at the time!
xoxo
Still loving the puff sleeved dress! I also think Topshop is overpriced, and have a terrible short term memory but crazy accurate long term!
Loving the outfit. Those tights are absolutely adorable. You look like a breath of fresh air

The top is gorgeous!
Great outfit!!
hehe love the minty green tights and awesome sleeves!
oooh cant wait to see your new haircut!
i love the springy colors and the way you’ve layered the dress to become a jumper.
and those mint (is that the color they are?) tights are just awesome. i keep hoping to find light-colored tights in my drawers in the morning, but alas, they have not materialized yet…
I love your Pink top… especially the details on the shoulders ! 🙂 Mon Mode Blog
Don’t you look darling as usual! Looking forward to seeing the new “do”!

I love the colors you put together, and love the shoulders!
Wow… Great outfit… So chic..

My weekend was quite, with not so much action… but this upcoming weekend I’m going to see Biffy Clyro on concert!
Congrats for the award, dear!
That nude blouse is perfect for spring, but I’m glad you’re already wearing colors now. It’s so depressing it’s gotten colder this week again!
P.S. Topshop is hideously expensive for what it is, so don’t worry. I can afford their stuff and still don’t shop there 😉
loving all the colours you got going on ehere xoxox
Very bold outfit. The puff sleeves add on so much more element to the outfit. I also have the gold fish memory (short term memory) for current happening, but exceptionally not for past events too. How ironic, huh. 🙂
I’m really into sleeves and shoulders now, so I love this. Not to mention the color is great, so gentle.
Your tights are adorable! Loving the pastel outfit.
I am not looking forward to the big freeze. There was some hail today!
And I’m so glad the flapjacks were a hit. I think I’ll be making some more soon, they’re so easy to make!

Hi! It’s been a while! Your outfits still look lovely as usual, I do hope that you are well!

Love your shirt!!!

I find Topshop a bit expensive for their kind of style too, I seldom go there. I’d rather go to my all time fave All Saints and BT2, quite expensive but the material is quite worth it… Or I forgot to mention about River Island too!
ADORE the top… You look gorgeous! 😀 Xxxc
what cute sleeves! love this 🙂
Love this look, especially the blouse!
Congrats on your award!
I love butternut squash too!
xoxox,

THOSE SLEEVES! EEEEK! absolutely amazing!
Go short! It would be adorable.

Looks faboosh on you! I could never wear that. I love it.
Heh, I know exactly what you mean with no.1. I’m a horrible stick-in-the-mud now, but I’ve had quite enough with the drinking.
You look absolutely wonderful in the dress, and the pastel tights bring to mind spring time and all things lovely.
love that puffy sleeve top!
love the sleeves! good luck with the haircut 🙂
Lovely color pallet of clothing!
Can’t wait to see your hair!
You look so cute! All I ever do when it’s cold and snowy outside is wear jeans and huge sweaters!
if you don’t drink, that doesn’t mean you are boring…oh…and as a secret, I also don’t drink but I smile often…so it doesn’t matter at all ^.*
kisses
Love your outfit,amazing sleeves!
I too love staying in!!!! Oh gosh, there’s just nothing better than not having to go out in that freezing cold, into the sweaty gross club.. dont get me wrong, I love dancing, but I hate clubbing! Sometimes I feel like such a boring dork for it, but I guess I’m not alone :)And I’m so jealous for you being fast reader, that was always my dream! 🙂
The shoulders are looking awesome, great colours too
