My first personal-ish post on the new look site, I can’t believe it’s taken me just over a week to get a chance to do this but I suppose I can be excused just this once. Thank you for the amazing feedback on the blog’s makeover, I’m really lucky that my boyfriend was prepared to teach himself all the required code and skills to do this for me, I picked a good ‘un eh? If you have any feedback on the site or any questions you can find all my contact details in the handy “contact” tab.
Knowing I was having back surgery soon I collected a few outfit shots beforehand so my blog didn’t become one long wishlist. The first of these, below features dire photography. That’s my number one goal for my new site, improve my photography! That and keep blogging about the things I love, even if it is just a lot of posts about fabulous brands and lookbooks. Don’t like it? Don’t read it. Simples!
pink and green should never be seen?
broke these boots shortly after, proper gutted.
I wish I had bulk bought this cardigan
Cardigan: New Look | Dress: Primark | Tights: New Look | Boots: c/o Sarenza
I bought this dress by accident. I had popped in to Primark on my way home from Ben’s as I had time to kill between buses. My intention was to get a pack of black tights and leave but I got distracted by a rail of £5 dresses and ended up with this one, and a week later a blue one. Oops. The cardigan was another bargain costing £10 in the New Look sale. I was looking for a replacement for my black one but the deep bottle green of this became more tempting and actually, it’s better quality than the similar black one I own and goes with just as many of my clothes. The boots are no more after I had an accident involving a kerb and the sole, I’m a bit gutted as they went with everything and were SO comfortable. Still, it’s an excuse to buy a replacement next winter (still working on being on a shopping ban right now due to very little money coming my way).
As most of you know, I had surgery on my back last week. I’m now 6 days post-op and feeling pretty ok. I’m in some pain still but it’s much easier to tolerate than the pain I had before the procedure. I still can’t do much. I’m not allowed to sit for too long, or lift a kettle (or anything really) and can only go for short walks at the moment. I’m a bit bored but twitter and a bunch of crafts are keeping me going stir crazy and I’ve had plenty of visitors and gorgeous parcels in the post which have kept me smiling. I’ve read a book and a half so far and I’m working on eating my way back to normal. I’m really hopeful that by the time I go back to work on March 18th I’ll be pain free and ready to make the very best of life, I’m so excited to be in a position to start exercising…bring on a healthy, toned and fit body and a much healthier lifestyle.
Have you got any tips to keep me occupied? How about a blogger meetup on my bed? I’ll provide tea and a cat.
Hope you feel better soon, how long is it before you are able to start doing more things?
Glad to hear your op went well – as a boredom cure I’m prescribe copious amounts of Buzzfeed!
A blogegr bed meet up sounds ace. PJs, tea and treats! x
Aw no, poor shoesies! Glad you’re feeling better, hopefully your recovery will be super speedy! When I’m stuck indoors I love browsing Pinterest and Tumblr! xxx
hello, hello. Great outfit, I love the colour combination.
I have to add myself to the group of people that love your new look blog!
Glad to hear you’re feeling OK after your op. Boxsets are the way forward for boredom control, I’m working my way through Dexter at the moment.
That dress seems like a perfectly reasonable purchase for £5. I’d be sold too!
I hope you are feeling even better, getting any operation would be terrible, but your back! Ouch! I am happy to attend the bed party. I’ll bring 5 extra cats to make it a real party!

Glad your op went well Laura 🙂 Sit tight and let the rest do it’s magic, you’ll feel a world of good come work 🙂
Have you thought about scrap booking your favourite cards/memories/pictures? That could be something to do x x
P.S. Love the pink and green!
Laura I love the new site, it looks great! I’m glad to hear that the op went well too and that you’re on the road to recovery. You look lovely in the outfit shots, those boots are really nice. – Tasha xxx
Glad to hear your post op recovery is going well! Hope you share what crafting you’ve been getting up to!
Love that colour combination Laura and that dress is so pretty. Hope things are getting better for you missy x
That outfit is really cute (as always). I am glad everything is going well, and wish you a very speeeedy recovery! Enjoy your time relaxing. Start a new tv series!!! That always keeps me busy when I should be doing something else!!! If there is a cat involved I am happy to get into any bed 😉 xxxx
I love the look of your Primark dress and the colour of your New Look tights. Back pain is awful. Heal up well and soon!
Loving the new blog and layout.
Fantastic outfit too – can’t beat a good cardigan says I!
Black is always great but do like the bottleneck green shade here
