Monday

Hello, Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend? What did you get up to? We put our tree up on Saturday,
what it lacks in size, it makes up for in pretty-ness!

Yesterday I met up with two of the lovely girls I met over the Summer for a spot of shopping and catching up, that was FUN, especially as I hadn’t seen one of them for three months.

Today I’m again making the most of the slightly warmer temperatures (and central heating!) and wearing what I *want* to. I spied snow on the forecast for the end of the week so I’m making the most of it!

This dress was an absolute steal at Β£3 in the New Look sale a couple of years ago. I love it…it’s ridiculously comfortable.

I teamed it with possibly my favourite tights ever, courtesy of Tabio (who currently have free UK delivery).

And I’m back on the crazy hair.

It’s going redder this week, I’m excited!

What are your plans for the week ahead? I’m hoping to fit in some long over-due baking, it’s been a fair old while since I did some, and since I shared some recipes around on the blog!

  1. Once again love the crazy hair. Can;t wait to see it redder.

  2. I have the busiest week EVER coming up. Groan. Well not really groan because it’ll be very fun and exciting but still kinda knackering and I’m really overtired…

    Those tights are genius by the way. Do Tabio do nice winter patterned ones? I’m trying to track down a pair or two and the only place I can find is River Island and they’re so pricey!!

  3. Love the outfit and that dress is an amazing find! πŸ™‚

    My hair is generally crazy as I just dont have time or see the point when I’m just in school or uni πŸ™‚

    This week I have to finish my essay and hand it in, last week of term with 2 half days a carol concert in the cathedral a half day of teaching and the talent show! Then pub time finish my xmas shopping and then relax! πŸ™‚ so much to do so little time but it’ll be fine πŸ™‚

  4. Oh I love love love those tights!!!!

  5. Ah that’s a lovely dress. Nothing wrong with crazy lady hair – mine goes static in the winter, I think it’s all the layers and going from the cold into the warm, I look like I’m permanently plugged in to a Van Der Graaf Generator!

  6. what a steal for such a cute dress!

  7. I love your tree. It’s definitely really pretty.

    Those tights are amazing. They look really cool and go so well with the dress.

  8. What a wonderful little Christmas tree; so pretty!

    At the moment I can’t see the others pictures and comment them, but I’ll return later.

    Have a nice day!

  9. The dress is lovely, and the tights look perfect x

  10. we think your tree looks stunning
    we need to get ours up in the office!

  11. Your tree is ever so pretty, what a great base it has.

    Lovely checked dress, and what a bargain! Definitely a good idea to make the most of it before the snow hits again. Snow for crimbo would be good though!?!

    Hope you get in some baking this week. My plans are wrap the rest of my presents and work. Do have my guides christmas party tonight though so that should be fun!

    Β£3? Amazing! Love them tights as well, I want some! xx

  56. Just left a comment on the Tabio post – I love these tights! I didn’t see them when I made my choice (I’ve got my first post on them up – I’m going to be styling them so many different ways). These are brilliant and I love the way you dressed them down with riding boots and that amazing Β£3 dress! (I love New Look: we went to their press event recently and there are some really great things coming up for spring).

    Love your tree – love the decor, just my taste.

    So glad you saw your friends – isn’t life just wonderful! Oh btw I’ve got a bowl of home made cookie dough in the refrigerator and ever night I just whip up a few hot fresh cookies – it’s a basic sugar cookie recipe I found online and I just whack in whatever I feel like – nuts, chocolate, even some crunch granola – but my favourite is just round simple vanilla cookies with one shiny silver ball in the centre. Have a lovely day! xox

  57. p.s. Love the ‘crazy’ hair and that you’re going more red: I was just thinking this morning – I’m meeting Sabine (Psynopsis) tonight for the first time – there’s something about redheads: Toni @ Fashion Cloud – Florence and the Machine.. it feels quite symbolic, you going more red- it’s like you’ve been in a cocoon and you’re emerging as the most beautiful butterfly.

    This is your time so spread your wings and FLY.

  58. Aw Laura! Your hair looks so good red, can’t wait to see it even redder. And those tights are lovely! x

  59. cute tree and cute tights!
