favouring florals

22nd April 2013

Dress: Zara
Tights: Primark
Boots c/o Ellos
The second the sun shows it’s face I get a craving for florals. It happens every year and I’ve long given up trying to fight it. This outfit was worn on Friday once I got back from my foot appointment (hello six months of walking on a fracture) for work and then chilling out with the boy (I promise a post about this at some point) although the weather wasn’t quite warm enough to really show it off.
Speaking of florals, I’m totally coveting this dress from new look
I love the two in one effect and summery colours.
This weekend has been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. Saturday was wonderful, chilled out and full of sunshine. Sunday was hard, but peaceful at the same time. Grief is such an odd thing, coming in ebbs and flows. It’s amazing how much you can miss someone even a year on, my Nan was an amazing woman and I will never, ever forget her.
This week promises to be both busy and fun. I’m only in work Mon-Thurs as Friday is my “birthday day” which work give us. My birthday isn’t until Sunday but I have plans covering Friday through to the Tuesday and I’m really, for the first time in years looking forward to celebrating.
How was your weekend? Anyone brave enough to have done the London Marathon?

Dress and Tee: Both Ebay
Neon Vans: c/o Sarenza
Two of my favourite ebay purchases finally got worn together, I loved this outfit even though it wasn’t the most flattering around my middle. I’m also loving my less intense blogging schedule, it was starting to feel a little bit strained and I needed to take a step back,
now I’m doing it when it fits in with me and not the other way around I feel more positive about it again.
It’s been a pretty awesome but emotional week. Sunday marks the first anniversary of my Nan’s death and I can’t believe the time has gone so fast. I miss her so much, probably more than ever at the moment and I know the rest of my family do too. She was the most amazing woman and I wish she was here to see how much we have achieved. 
On a happier note my cousin Soph gave birth to baby Noah on Wednesday after an immense 36 hours of labour…I can’t wait to go up and visit him. I’ve also spent quality time with friends, family and the boy this week and I’m spending the this evening and tomorrow with the boy too…at risk of sounding incredibly girly, he makes me so happy!
Well,
I’m off to see a man about my stupid foot, fingers crossed I get some answers at last!
I hope everyone else has had a good week- TGIF?

Play Time with Own The Runway

18th April 2013

Spring has finally made itself known and what better way to celebrate than with an adorable playsuit. The don’t come much sweeter than these bargainous beauties from Own The Runway available now at £14.99 each.
I don’t actually own any playsuits, I’ve always had a problem with the length of them (being cut in two is never attractive) but even that isn’t stopping me being tempted to order one of these lovelies, teaming it with bare legs and wedge heels and pretending I’m somewhere hot and sunny.
What are your thoughts on playsuits? Which of these is your favourite? It’s the white one for me, with it’s delicate blue pattern. Putting me in white is asking for grass stains and spilt ice creams but really, I don’t care!

Lilylulu

16th April 2013

Dress c/o Lilylulu
Boots c/o Shoe Zone
I love a good black dress and this one from Lilylulu with it’s leather effect cuffs and collar ticks all the right boxes for me.
Lilylulu are a small boutique currently selling on ASOS Marketplace having originally started out on ebay. In the very near future they’ll be launching their first real website but for now you can check out the latest either via their Marketplace boutique or their facebook page and twitter feeds.
I hope everyone survived Monday, it’s so nice to have slightly warmer weather and being able to leave the winter coat behind! How was everyone’s weekend? It rained non-stop here on Saturday which was a bit of a bugger but Sunday was nice and well, to be honest the weather didn’t really matter and it was nice to catch up with my best friend and chill out with the boy.
Busy week ahead, as appears to be the norm right now, it’s a good work life balance though (mostly) although I’m gutted to not be able to attend the Bath in Fashion blogger awards on Thursday. There’s still time to vote using the badge in my sidebar (cheeky!)
Have you shopped with Lilylulu before, or used ASOS Marketplace? I must confess to neither but that’s about to change!

sarenza sunday- garden of eden

14th April 2013

Hopefully the sun is shining for you as promised this weekend but even if it isn’t you can get a taste of Summer with these gorgeous Eflora by Eden, £48 wedges. I can’t decide which pair I prefer- the Orange or the Rose, both have the virtues and would look fantastic for day or night.
Which pair takes your fancy most? At the moment I’m leaning towards girly pink but my mind could change any second.
