Another quick outfit post, I’m going back in to work today and I’m trying to conserve brain power.
Finally managed to get myself to wear these trousers again…pants photos I’m afraid, my camera batteries were dying and I had no backup!
Oh hi there, I’m full of cold and cough and germs and woe, please pity me
If I pull this face enough, I’m hoping someone will make me a cup of tea.
Happy Friday xxx

So, the other day I posted about my bargain House of Holland tights from TK Maxx, (again, £3 for the house print ones, could not refuse!)
I’ve long been a fan of his tights collection with Pretty Polly and one day fully intend to own these pairs (and then some!)
This achingly hip collection for Pretty Polly from Henry Holland – the maestro behind House of Holland – has got the fashion world panting with desire, and we can see why. So rarely is cutting-edge style so comfortable – and affordable! These nationwide sell-out Henry Holland tights have been seen on Alexa Chung, Pixie Geldof, Fearne Cotton, and Agyness Deyn.
Super Suspender, £12 from mytights.com
Sheer fringe hold ups, £15 from mytights.com … these are SO impractical but at the same time a total must have for me!
Superstar, £15 from mytights.com …these are my favourites, by far. Argh, hurry up pay day, I want the gold version as well…so summery and perfect as I don’t do bare legs. Ever.
Mytights stocks the whole House of Holland range (including a few pairs at half price right now- house print inclusive!) and with delivery only £1.95 it’s quite affordable too!
Oooh someone please tell me NOT to buy any more tights this month. Honestly, my collection has taken over my bedroom (I think I’m in to triple digits now…)
Does anyone have the city collection tights? I really wanted a pair but couldn’t narrow it down at all, and really really couldn’t justify ordering all of them. Hmm….so many tights, so little time (and so few pairs of legs!)

A quick, and for me fairly wordless post today. I am STILL full of cold and if I didn’t have an appointment this morning you bet I would still be in PJs and no makeup making woe is me noises and wishing I had a servant to bring me endless cups of tea (which is exactly how I spent yesterday).
I hate having a cold, and it turns me in to a drama queen…though it’s not quite a full blown case of man-flu.
Both this (now ancient) Topshop bow tie vest and ASOS velvet shorts are perfect for when I want to to look smarter than I feel!
I’m hoping to get out and get some sunshine later today (I have penpal letters to post, exciting!) and be back at work tomorrow, so normal posting/posing will resume, just in case you were missing it too much!
How are you celebrating this gorgeous weather? Anyone had a picnic yet? What are your top picnic foods? For me it has to be bite size anything…quiche, sandwiches…anything in miniature!

The dress I wore yesterday is another recent ASOS purchase…and yet another purchases aided by Twitter…I swear I would not be able to make a decision without you guys!
I think this has become my feel good dress, as soon as I put it on I knew it was a keeper and it became my work outfit for yesterday.
I have had cravings for a shirt dress for a while, but most I found were too short…or just…bland (although I am a sucker for the sleeveless versions around right now). This floral one met my needs perfectly and it is suitable for both work and play….and a perfect length!
I accessorised with another of my London Wishes pieces and flower ring from Jon Richard
And finally got around to swapping my earrings for a different pair (does anyone else sleep in their earrings no matter what type? I ALWAYS forget to take mine out)
Today I am a little bit full of snot and wearing full on comfort clothes (the work version, of course) hence posting yesterdays outfit only! Colds in Spring should be BANNED…
right?
Anyone else sniffling?

Once again I have shoes on the brain…
With the recent beautiful weather has come a lusting for anything other than boots on my feet and right now I am really feeling wedges and chunky heels for style AND most importantly, comfort.
I’m tall, so I don’t need heels as such (unlike my Mum who refuses to leave the house in flats) but I do like the extra height; I like to think it makes me intimidating 😉
Current lustings include (but aren’t limited to)
Ravel Geraldine…go with everything colour, pretty detailing, screams summer…perfect.
Ash Lucy…I am forever drooooling over Ash shoes. This pair just further fuels the fire.
Oh look, another Ash pair! Jezebel this time and not the most summery of shoe…but goddam, they are beauties!
And in complete contrast, and somewhat out of my usual style…this embellished pair by Lollipop…should I love them as much as I do? Probably not…
but whatever. I’m a girl. I like pretty shoes as much as I like chocolate.
What are your current shoe cravings?
