22.01 metal mouth

22nd January 2010

Wow, Friday has rolled round again, how fast has this week flown by? What are your weekend plans everyone? I’m off work tomorrow and will be hopefully catching up with a cousin who is down for the day. Sunday is my Grandad’s birthday, so it is going to be a family filled weekend.

Thanks for the good wishes about the braces, the uncomfortable-ness is easing at last and I don’t feel as insecure as I thought I would about having one at the age of almost 23…I guess I’m kind of used to it now, and fingers crossed the end result will be worth the discomfort!

Outfit wise, I ordered this dress from ASOS only to discover it is incredibly short. I’m in love with the shape and pattern though, so it’s a keeper, to be worn with jeggings for now.
Do we think I could get away with thick tights though?

Do not forget you have until Monday to enter my giveaway!

20.01 what I wore yesterday

20th January 2010

Good morning and happy mid-week. Wow, I’m a bit overwhelmed with the response to my giveaway! Haha, I guess I wasn’t aware of how many people read my blog. Thank you so much to those of you who have entered so far, and for those who haven’t; you have until Monday to do so.

This is what I wore yesterday to go get my brace fitted on my top teeth. No photos of what I’m wearing today due to subsequent sore mouth and feeling rubbish! I’d forgotten how painful braces are (this is something like my 5th time!)
Excuse rubbish photos, it was early and I was rushing.

Right, best get a move on, I have my third and final appt of the week to get to…
and it’s bloody snowing again; wonderful! Thankfully it is mixed in with rain and shows no sign of settling!

18.01 outfit+giveaway

18th January 2010

Hello! Happy Monday, I hope everyone had a good weekend?

The slightly warmer weather has given me the oppurtunity to wear/road test one of the pairs of tights sent to me by Wickedelic. I will be writing a review once I’ve worn the second pair as well, I just wanted to show off how awesome they are!

I had to kick off my week with an early (well, 10am which is early for me!) doctors appointment, and couldn’t resist a little bit of retail therapy to make it worthwhile. I had an urge to buy shoes, and was prepared to come home with little money,
I kind of wanted heels, but currently walk better in flats…so when I saw these babies for £3 I snapped them up

They originally cost £20 in New Look.

Heels can wait, hopefully by summer my legs will be more forgiving!

Now, giveaway!
Here is (some) of what the winner will get; I will be adding a couple more bits over the course of this week to make sure there is an element of suprise

Photobucket

So far there is a cute cupcake lip gloss, a pack of four face masks, and ELF shimmering facial whip in spotlight which I raved about in my beauty post.

There are no rules, as such, all you need to do to enter is leave a comment on this post and include your favourite sweets/candy/chocolate (indulge my sweet tooth and nosy nature)
and a way I can contact you, either blog link, or e-mail address.

Giveaway is open to ALL readers, and will end on Monday 25th January at 1pm.
Good luck

16.01 Post 100

16th January 2010

Wow, so this is post number 100 on this blog, I believe I was up to about 300 on my old one, but still, this is still a cause for celebration and there WILL be a giveaway posted on Monday.

For now I bring you yesterdays outfit [today I am barely out of my polyester work uniform]

It feels so good to be able to wear more normal outfits again, the snow has at last melted and temperatures are more bearable.

What are your plans for the weekend? Nothing exciting happening here, I have some jewellery to be posted up for sale tomorrow, and plan on making the most of my last couple of days of braces free teeth by chewing epic amounts of gum!
