summer?

31st August 2011

I know from Twitter that I wasn’t the only one mourning the cold temperatures yesterday. This was the first of THREE outfits I had on trying to stay warm whilst not looking like I was dressed for Autumn. I was horribly over-ambitious with this one but it’s still August, which means Summer…right? Clearly not. I am bitterly disappointed with the frankly shit weather we have had this year. Anyone want to emigrate with me?

(Matalan dress, Pretty Polly tights, Yull shoes).

Back at work today after an extra long weekend, a three day week almost makes up for everything else.

How are you dressing right now? Is it time to admit defeat with Summer clothes? I’ve not even had chance to wear some of my purchases!

Yes

30th August 2011

Time to re-evaluate and make some changes. Proper, not half hearted changes.

How do you cope with making changes? I need to get my ass back on track before I face losing what I’ve worked so hard for.

Thank You x One Thousand

28th August 2011

Wow, so…a thousand followers…I’m amazed. What started as a random outlet has turned in to something so much more.

As a thank you, I have a bit of a giveaway for all you lovely followers who read and support adaisychaindream with some prizes I’m a little bit jealous of!

Prize ONE is this incredible leather jacket c/o IL2L…online super shop for leather jackets. This jacket is just beautiful, you have no idea how badly I want to keep this! (size Medium)

Prize TWO is courtesy of Matalan and Metcalfes; the winner will recieve a bag of each flavour skinny top corn and loads of goodies from Matalan (the clothes are size 10 and the sandals are a 5). You’ve heard me rave about both these brands for long enough…now’s your chance to see why I love them so much!

Prize THREE is for the international blog followers as realistically I cannot afford to ship the first two overseas. This is a mystery prize and will contain an assortment of things I love and think you will love too!

I don’t know how many MALE followers I have, but if there are any of you out there, shout…I’ll put together a little prize for you, too.

To Enter:

Good Luck, and thanks again

weekends

28th August 2011

Weekends are for being indulgently lazy; reading a good book, cat naps, pottering about, watching crap TV, drinking far too much coffee and eating comfort food.

All those affected by Hurricane Irene, be safe.

UK’ers, I hope your planning to be extra lazy with the Bank Holiday
