Sunday Random.

07th August 2011

First things first, the winner of the manicure courtesy of wish.co.uk is ALEX! Congratulations Alex, enjoy being pampered!

This weekend has been all about relaxing. I’ve read several magazines, an entire chick-lit book and generally not done very much at all. Love it!
Today I am off for some window (ahem, yes WINDOW) shopping with best.friend. before the working week kicks off again tomorrow! Oh grown up life…

Autumn/Winter fashions are giving me crazy cravings right now, so expect some more focused lookbook posts soon,
but currently topping my list?

Swing dress from ASOS

Buckle cardi from New Look

Midi skirt from River Island

Cape from Dorothy Perkins

Given the let down of a Summer that we’ve had, weather wise at least, I think it’s only right to be planning a stylish A/W…right?

Some of the less natural snacks I’ve been enjoying lately!

How has your weekend been?

Little things.

31st July 2011

Over the last week I seem to have collected a few rather lovely new things; some a bit trivial but sometimes it’s those small things that can put the biggest smile on your face.

My love for pound shops cemented by the discovery of Hello Kitty toothpaste.

New additions to the Fruitella family.

After my wish list the other day, find-me-a-gift spoilt me rotten by sending the nail polish I was craving as well as some other gorgeous treats. They clearly knew me well, a cupcake coin purse? This site is heaven for all your gift shopping needs!

I FINALLY got lucky with a local charity shop and found this Get Cutie skirt in my size for £2.99! I made the lady un-dress the window display so I could have it. Looks like I’ve finally found a local gem of a shop, I saw some other pretties in their too, and not at extortionate prices!

Payday treat came in the form of an orange quilted jacket; complete with leather arm patches from ASOS, making the most of the free next day delivery. Bring on the Autumn chills! I fit in well with the local farmers now.

I’m on operation weight gain. The discovery of FAB ice cream pots will help nicely. Delicious, and only £1 in Tesco (you bet I have a freezer full). Not a fab fan? The smarties and rolo varieties are also winners!

What little things, or big things have superficially made you smile this week? Has anything else wonderful happened? I enjoyed a family based few days when my brother and his gorgeous girlfriend came to stay. They are up in Essex now, getting tattooed…which is making me crave a new one, badly!

An Explanation

In case anyone ever wondered why my blogs get posted so early in the day, especially on my days/mornings off…

He’s not as sweet and innocent as he looks.

Sunday

05th June 2011

My usual Sunday assortment of happy things!

The third new pair of shoes! This time courtesy of Zalando, whom I blogged about a couple of weeks ago. These make me feel about five again, I love them! And Shelly’s might just be my new go-to brand for awesome, comfortable shoes!

Worn with

On Friday. Despite feeling shockingly unwell!

(not such a happy thing!) fingers crossed though, the new anti-biotics are kicking it in to touch and I don’t need to pay a visit to radiology tomorrow.

My Mum spoils me. I fell in love with *that* dress from Dorothy Perkins, and she surprised me by treating me to it. LOVE.

She is also responsible for the Little Miss Princess book below

The epic box of Austrian goodies was a wonderful suprise from Miss Fritha.
Cannot wait to get stuck in!
(The green and blacks was a present to myself. Because I’m worth it. Oui?)

Another happy thing?

Best.Friend. Passed her driving test. Watch out world. Trudi is mobile…and I’m going to be her trusty sidekick. I don’t think she realises it yet…but she is going to be my personal driver.

<3 well done Trudi! I also have Thursday off work this week, as my beautiful Becca has a Birthday! Woo, please keep fingers and toes crossed for gorgeous weather…we want a picnic! What’s making you smile this week? xxx
