Short and sweet post today with my outfits from the weekend- purely because I liked them both
plus a sneaky preview on the fixed wheel bike the boy is building me- did I mention that he’s building me a bike?! I love it already and only the frame is done. We manage to snag a super rare French vintage frame for an amazing prize on ebay and he’s sprayed it hot pink then designed stickers to jazz it up a bit. The name of the bike is taken from my blog name- it seemed like a pretty girly yet apt name for a bicycle, don’t you think? I’m so excited to see the whole thing finished although it’ll be a good month or longer yet as we need to source the remaining parts and let things like the laquer set. I think it’s hands down the most romantic thing any one has ever done for me, although me learning to ride fixed wheel could be incredibly amusing- I’m rusty on a bike with gears!

I hope everyone has had a good start to the week, there’s a real Autumnal edge to the days now isn’t there? I’ll be off to work shortly, then in to town to get a new ear piercing (partly to keep Mum company as she gets her nose pierced and partly to reward myself for putting on half a stone at last…only a whole other stone to go!) Also getting quite excited about my upcoming few days away although I have a huge amount to do before that happens! xxx |
That’s so romantic, love it!
He’s building you a bike!? That’s love right there 🙂 Love the fact you’ve named it after your blog x
The bike, oh the bike! How lovely! Maybe you’ll get married on a bicycle made for two… ;O) ?
That’s the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard/read! I’d say I wish someone would do that for me, but the fact that I can’t ride full-stop would be a bit of a hindrance. They’d have to teach me to ride it too 🙂
Well done on your half-stone achievement! It’s so wonderful to see how far you’ve come, you’re doing fab!

Wow, that bike is going to be amazing! Great effort from the boy. (Umbrellas are scientifically incapable of remaining found. Fact.) x
That’s flipping amazing, what a treat!
you have such great style! I need to check out New Look more often!

That’s so adorable he’s building you a bike! And well done on the weight gain, you deffo need to treat yourself! Hope the piercing went smoothly xxx
Woo well done on the gain & what bit of the ear are you going to get pierced?
I am so jealous of you have a) a nice man & b) one who is making you a bike – that’s so lovely. You deserve it.
Looking stylish as always. xxx
Your bike is awesome, i LOVE the colour!

How cool building you a bike – he’s a keeper! Congrats on your weight gain too, very well done!
So jealous you’re going to be a fixie girl, I’ve set my heart on having a new bike, a Fixie, and it’s been built for women as well. Also- under half the weight of my current beast, the only thing not to like it is the £550 it costs, that I don’t presently have!
I wish my pawl would make me a bike! I love both of those jumpers! X
Your boy’s a keeper! Well done on the weight gain, you look fantastic x
Aw yay for the new bike – join the pink bike club!!
It’s definitely becoming more and more autumnal. :/
Can’t wait to see the bike finished; when I won a fixie I thankfully discovered that it could be a fixie or a single speed so I can cruise and not brake and nearly kill myself 😉
Beyond cute! My ex-boy used to tinker with my bike and i would always look on with pure admiration. I know nothing about tyres and spokes and the like… which i think made him feel all big and manly! haha x
Aw what a cute bike 🙂 Love your first outfit, the jumper and dress are both so lovely 🙂 xx
aww what a lovely boyfriend you have 🙂 Also well done with the weight gain, you look fab x
Good work on the weight restoration, hope you enjoy your (painful sounding) treat! That bike is awesome, your boy sounds like a keeper! xx
That is so exciting about your bike! I can just imagine how wonderful that will be. LOVE your dress.
I am excessively impressed by the bike-building – what a guy!
Congrats on your weight gain, too – that’s incredible, you’re doing so well lovely 🙂

Awesome boy! Good luck with the bike! Me and husband love bike riding. We recently rode the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC.

Love your dress and jumper 🙂
I can’t believe he’s BUILDING you a BIKE, that is just one of the nicest things I’ve ever heard. Such a personal and thoughtful gift. Also, your outfits look cracking here, especially the top-to-toe New Look one!
