everything

Clearly the computer fixing people don’t share the same sense of urgency as I do, because my laptop is STILL not back,
but with a lot of patience I am able to update the blog, and even comment on a few…but not as many as I’d like, because this beast tends to crash every couple of sites.

Well, it’s Saturday again, weekends are coming around way too fast for my liking; I mean, it’s pretty much almost Christmas. Fear.

Life has started to pick up it’s pace a bit around here which is great. I’ve had a fairly hectic week and loved every second of it. Yesterday was the best day, by far. Shopping in the morning followed by a trip to the theatre with my Best Friend to see Beauty and the Beast in the evening. If you get a chance, go and see it…so much fun (though the songs WILL be stuck in your head for days!)

A crisis of confidence (and lack of suitable bra) meant I didn’t wear my dress kindly sent by Vera Moda as planned, I opted for my black and white Anna Sui instead that I got for a steal in the outnet birthday sale earlier this year. I did however snap a few pictures of the dress, and jeans that I was sent. And expect to see them feature in up-coming posts.

The dress is the perfect mix of fabric and leather and has the most amazing back detail that makes me think of a tuxedo for some reason.

The jeans are also fabulous, although a tad too small at the moment, but given a few months, when things have settled they should be perfect!

Don’t forget Vera Moda are opening their London flagship store next Thursday (the 4th). Follow them on twitter and head on down to Oxford Street for you chance to win amazing prizes.

Tabio also very kindly sent me a thank you package this week…check out the haul!

Other new things this week include some wedge heel ankle boots and an awful lot of Nail Polish.
Welcome to broke-dom Laura. Congratulations.

And finally, here is an outfit I wore this week. I bought this dress back in the summer in a fit of online shopping to make up for not being able to visit the shops. Luckily it still fits and can be adapted for winter just fine!

Sorry for the epic post!
I hope your having an awesome weekend…what are your Halloween plans? Mine; staying in, watching x-factor and scaring the trick or treaters when they dare knock on our door.
Aren’t I just lovely?!

Vero Moda Part One

I’m still without laptop; hopefully tomorrow or Saturday, but I really couldn’t wait any longer to do this post.

Long lusted after by myself, Vero Moda are opening their London Flagship store on Thursday November 4th, I’m gutted I can’t attend myself, but get yourself down to 179 Oxford street to check out the absolutely stunning Autumn/Winter collections and a chance to win a free outfit.

I cannot heap enough praise on Vero Moda and their exquisitely designed clothes which offer impeccable details at affordable prices. I’ve spent the last week drooling over their A/W look book and have chosen my two favourite looks to share with you as an example of what’s in store.

You can find out more about Vero Moda by becoming a fan on facebook and following them on twitter
Not only will you be kept fully up to date, but there is also a chance of winning some fantastic prizes.

I’ve called this post Part One because the team at Vero Moda were kind enough to send a couple of pieces my way,
and those will be featured asap, or, as soon as I have my laptop back.
For now, I urge you to check out their website and fall in love like myself, and so many others already have.

((apologies for the less than stellar post, this has taken me since yesterday to get posted!))

slower than a slow thing

I still don’t have my laptop but, and google reader still won’t load on this beast but with a little (lot) of patience I am able to update!
There is little else to do on a cold, rainy Tuesday afternoon.

First up is a couple of recent outfits.

The Cat print jumper dress was a present from my Grandparents and so baggy and comfortable that I want to live in it! It was £25 from New Look

Next up is what I wore yesterday, I love these tights although they attracted a few sideways glances when I popped out.

And finally, when I have MY laptop back there are a couple of exciting posts to be done. Here’s a little sneak preview of what’ll be making an appearence!

(I’ll leave you guessing on that one!)

For now I highly suggest you follow Vero Moda on twitter and like them on facebook…there are fabulous times ahead.

And that’s that for now. I hope you are having a wonderful start to your week and are managing to stay warm and dry. Hopefully I’ll be back properly, soon.

Technical Hiccup

Happy Saturday all,
this is just a quick post to say I have suffered epic.laptop.fail and will be without my trusty steed until Wednesday at least. I am currently using my Dad’s old Dell, which dates back to approx 1820 and cannot cope with many photos or google reader so I shall likely be absent from blogging until then.

Butttt, I promise wonderful things
(err, okay standard outfit photos and a few exciting things) upon my return.

Enjoy your weekend! I’m meeting up with my Bestie from the hospital today for some retail therapy (a.k.a. window shopping).

Tights Love at Tabio

It’s no secret that I am tights obsessed and Tabio have been on my radar, to some extent for a while. When Gem posted her awesome giveaway the other day I decided to see what was new in the land of Tabio and oh man I was impressed.

With Winter weather well established their 110 (LOVE the dark orange) and 210 denier tights are going to be essential over the coming months.

The less practical side of me is totally besotted with the garter detail tights…so fun and party perfect.
