23.03 Lace

Just a quick outfit post today whilst I have the chance. There isn’t any real reason why having my Dad home affects my posting other than it is a lot more difficult to get photos when someone who doesn’t really “get” it is around in the house! Anyway, he is out at a meeting today so I took the oppurtunity.

This dress is a couple of years old now and I think I’ve worn it all of twice. I didn’t buy it with the intention of it being day wear, but it deserves to be worn so I’m rocking it regardless.

The indoor photos aren’t the greatest, tempermental camera this morning. I got Mum to snap the garden one as it shows the colour contrast on the dress a bit better.

I’m off for a morning out with Mum shortly, followed by a course work filled afternoon…I’m almost half way through now and this week is my final push to get the first module submitted (gotta love self imposed deadlines eh?)

I also intend to do some baking this week; cheese scones and a cake of some kind though I am yet to decide what flavour.

What have you been up to?

21.03 sunday

Hello, how is the weekend going for everyone? Yesterday was a washout here with both awful weather and illness; not quite how I envisaged spending my day off, but at least I caught up with some sleep.
Despite being ill I still managed to fit in some retail therapy as Mum and I ventured along to Ethel Austin in search of bargains in their closing down super sale. We spent £14 and got 2 pairs of PJs, undies/tights, flats (mine) and a pair of boots (hers) with an original value of £56 total! Madness.

I’m feeling much better today and the weather also seems to be back to how it should be with sunshine and blue skies.

Today’s outfit consists of florals, nude and shoulder pads. An odd sounding combination?

And these would be my new flats. So comfy and costing the grand sum of £2

I’ve got Dad home again next week so I’m not sure what the outfit post situation will be..never say never though.
Any exciting plans for the upcoming 7 days? It is looking to be (yet another) quiet week here, but who knows!

19.03 non floral

Happy Friday! We made it…congratulations 🙂
Who has exciting plans for this weekend? Not me, haha, though I have my last day off of work for a while tomorrow so I must think up something to do, if only a trip to the local farmer’s market and craft market.

Shocker…I’m not wearing florals today! This dress is an ebay win from this week, a complete last minute impulse bid that worked out perfectly. It’s by Happie Loves It and a gorgeous satiny material.

I teamed it with my jersey blazer to make a change from cardigans..hurrah for the weather becoming just about warm enough to break away from knit wear!

The pattern on the dress has a nautical feel to it, so I accessorised with this gorgeous brooch made by a dear friend of mine…

Well, I’m off to get ready to run some errands, have a great day

So, well, THANK YOU is all I can say for yesterday. Just thank you. I will continue to blog as I have done and try to ignore any criticism. I truly value your comments and support…and I will reward you with a giveaway in the near future!

Today I finally got around to wearing one of my newest dresses which I picked up a couple of weeks ago now. It’s a little short, but I’m not really going anywhere today and I’m pretty sure the cat doesn’t care about a little bit of leg.

(um, ignore the sticking up label, oops!)

Clearly I am far too obsessed with florals right now, though not such a bad thing! I shall challenge myself to make my next clothing purchase non floral related! Carrying on the theme though I remembered to add jewellery today in the form of this Daisy bracelet which was a gift from my grandparents

Photobucket

I really need to make myself wear jewellery more, I have so much of it just sitting around looking pretty!

Anyway,
I hope everyone is having a fantastic week so far and that Spring is well and truly on it’s way. We’ve been blessed with gorgeous weather so far this week; although today doesn’t look so promising. Next week I’m hoping to get out in the garden and plant some fruit plants that a wonderful friend sent me, I love the idea of growing my own produce!

17.03 trend tracking

Hello there, Happy Wednesday and Happy St. Patricks Day to those of you who celebrate it (we don’t really over here). Do you have any exciting plans for the day? Share with me!

A quick, non outfit post from me as I want to introduce you to something I’ve recently been made aware of that I think you will also enjoy; I am just too kind!

Trendstop.com – one of the world’s leading fashion trend forecasters for the industry, have developed the first fashion trend mobile app for consumers – the TrendTrackerTM. With consumers being more trend savvy and demanding than before, they can now have access years in advance to the same fashion trend information as the professionals and it’s free.

I’m genuinley excited by this, having recently become the owner of a non iphone smartphone as it is rare to find an application that works on more than just one type. I shall be downloading and testing it out myself, and I hope that some of you, at least will join me (I’d love to hear back with how you get on!)

New advanced member’s features will be added later on this year, so it really does look promising!

Outfit photos/normal posting to resume tomorrow I guess, as long as people are still okay with me posting outfits? I seem to be getting mixed reactions at the moment, and I just want you ALL to know that I am trying to get better, I hate hate hate this illness, but I really enjoy blogging and wish to continue in the way I always have done, I’m never “showing off my body”, just showing my outfits like I have for the last couple of years. BUT if my doing so is causing problems, then I will stop for the time being.

I’m sorry to have to keep raising the issue, but, well, I’m sick of getting critical e-mails sent to me when I’m not sure they represent the majority.
