Hello beauties...

Prada. Vintage. Gold. Beautiful. There really is nothing more to say.

Fish pie Wednesday

The hubs was at work today so I got up nice and early with him to make the most of a day off. I don't like wasting time in bed, I'll save lay in's for when I am at work! I decided to pop back into town again as I didn't really get to look yesterday. As you can see from the pictures I went for cropped jeans today, this is a change for me as I generally wear skirts and dresses. I am trying to wear more things from my wardrobe and haven't worn this Primark blouse for ages. I styled it with my favourite Primark pearls, I certainly have got my £2.50's worth from them. I nearly cried when they broke but managed to fix them with my Dads pliers! I have to confess I didn't wear the Gap lovelies to go out in, far too high for shopping but swapped them for leopard print pumps. At the last minute I grabbed this fab scarf, also Primark.

This top caught my eye in H&M, I was only really trying it for fun, not really intending to buy anything from here but really loved it when I fitted it on. It looks a bit strange on the picture but is quite different and I think is pretty cute. And it was a bargain at £14.99. Would be nice in a neutral too but didn't see one.

Here is the back view, I like how it buttons up down the back.

I found this lovely pink silk top in vintage shop, Cow. It was only £4 and thought it would like nice with the black Zara cropped slim leg trousers I also got. I like the sleeves as they are quite baggy and look a bit different to just a normal shirt. 

My final purchase was for my holiday to New York in October. I have already been thinking about what to take and as I'm not sure it will be cold enough for boots yet but know that ballet pump style shoes will make my legs ache walking around all day I needed another option. I decided to go for some Toms, I know, I know everyone has them so not very original but looking into them people seem to be raving about how comfy they are so will be just the job. Unless it rains of course! Oh well, I'll think that through another day...

A blustery day

Today I have been for lunch in Nottingham with my Mum, Dad and sister. We had a lovely meal at a French restaurant (I forget the name!) and, although I don't normally like French food as I find it too rich I enjoyed a stew that could possibly even top one of my masterpieces. I do love making a nice stew, roll on the winter! In fact, we seem to have lost the summer already here, I was a little chilly in this dress today and wished I'd gone for a cardigan at times. As you can see I'm wearing the dress from Vintage Warehouse I got recently, my go with everything tan belt and a gold necklace (again!) I promise I did attempt to wear some different jewellery but I just can't stop the gold habit. It was pretty windy as well so we struggled to get some shot and we were in a hurry as my Mum kept coming out the door behind and my sister had to keep shouting 'we're not ready yet' so we'll have to make the most of them. I don't think I've worn the beautiful Mulberry on here as yet. It was a 30th birthday treat, with the matching purse of course! I think it is a bit bulky for summer so have been saving it but wearing it today reminded me how much I love it, and such a practical bag too.

Not much shopping today, might pop back into town tomorrow and have a proper look but did get the gold clutch from a little vintage charity shop in Hockley who raise money through the Holocaust centre. It was a fab little shop, loads of great little gifts too. And, the best bit, it was only £2.20! Bargain. It is going to go perfectly with my wedding outfits as I have 4 coming up! And, of course, it's gold. Love the 'hologramy' pattern too.

The nail varnish is Leighton Denny, All About Me. Fab colour.

Black and white

This is yesterdays outfit as todays will consist of pj's and then uniform as I've been on nights, not very exciting for a fashion post! I spent the day with my Mum and sister chilling out and sorting through my wardrobes! Surprisingly, they enjoyed this too! We made a bit pile of things that can go on Ebay and having them here meant I was pretty ruthless with what went, hey a girl needs to make room for new things doesn't she (lets not mention that bit to the hubby!) I think I'll spend this afternoon getting them on Ebay. 

The outfit is a long Primark skirt, a bargain at £9! You can't go wrong at that price. A really old t-shirt from Topshop and the usual gold jewellery. I can't remember where the heart was from but the bangles have been on here before. I was thinking maybe I need to try something other than gold but it seems to go so well with everything that I always just grab it with any outfit. 

Huum, just looked back at these photos and I look very tired in the top one, I guess working 'til 3am will do that to a girl!

Here are a couple of shots of my wardrobes...the second one especially still looks a bit cluttered but I promise it is in some kind of order. I wish I had a walk in wardrobe..a girl can dream...

A guest appearance

Just a quick one today, off to work shortly :-( although with the very strange weather today perhaps that's no bad thing. Really wet and miserable but hot and sticky too I've just been out in my flip flops and a summer linen dress and I was still hot but wet! Good job I have to wear a uniform so don't have to make a decision.

It was a quick turnaround from work to babysitter last night! Due to the heat I threw on a red cotton dress which I am not sure I actually like. It is an old Gap number. I paired it with a pink belt, £1 from Primark, and pink jewellery, the necklace is Marks and Spencer and I think the bracelet is Accessorise. I like the clash between red and pink. You'll have to excuse the bad hair, lack of make up and slightly blurred 2nd shot!

I could not resist a guest appearance from my beautiful friends equally beautiful daughter, it was a successful evening babysitting. How adorable is she?!
