I think Friday's should now be known
as Girly Friday's!!
I'm literally wearing too much colour
at the moment!!
It seems by wearing black to work,
I'm now making up for the lack of colour during the week.
I'm now worried...
Ooooo I almost forgot look at my
extensions!!
They look a bit dodgy as it was my
first time putting them in (I kinda went a bit wrong); but I'm going to try and
make them work - plus they cost an arm and leg so I'm making them work!!
Anyway...
This was me yesterday when it was
quite a busy day for me.
My day began with a push and a shove
(as I'm very reluctant to wake up at the moment); I popped in to town in the
morning/afternoon to firstly try on dresses. Now when you work in a shop you're
surrounded by pretty sparkly dresses (whether you'd wear them or not); if
you're like me then shiny objects distract you and I knew I wanted to try them
on. So I popped to see Carolanne who works on
Quiz and we picked 9 dresses (as
that is the maximum); to try on. It was certainly interesting to see how these
dresses (which I wouldn't normally go for), either completely didn't suit me
(knew it) or actually looked alright. These dresses are for my birthday in
October so I do have a month and a half, but I like to keep my options open as
it's good to try things that you wouldn't necessarily go for. My favourite
dress that I tried on was actually the dress I fell in love with when I first
saw it, the only problem is its nude and I don't think that suits me - but they
also do it in navy so we'll see. My next stop was
Benefit!! You can't really
see my beautiful smoky plum eyes in these photos, but I assure you they look
very pretty. Now I won't go in to too much as I'll be doing a make up post
soon; but what I will say is I did pick up a couple of things (as you do) and I
was very happy with the end result. I was only meant to have an everyday look
but because of my family meal last night, I wanted something a little bit more
dramatic and something I wouldn't usually do. After
Benefit (and via the
Disney Store) I headed to
Vision Express to get my eyes tested. Yes I have to have
glasses!! Well I don't actually have to as I have perfect vision, but because I
found it clearer reading with the glasses on the optician thought they might
help. I picked up a pair of tortoise-shell
Diesel ones (yes my third pair now);
I really like them and I do like to have big frames to hide my dark circles!! I
did initially want a pair of
Alexander McQueen glasses but at £195 I decided
not to. My last stop of the day (well afternoon) was the hair/beauty shop to
pick up my extensions. I still can't believe I have real extensions (well clip
in ones); I've always wanted ones that matched my hair colour but my hair has a
habit of being 3 different colours. It was quite odd having long hair and I
kept playing with it, I also had to remember that with long hair I can't do
certain things. The back of my neck kept getting hot and I nearly (on several
occasions); got my hair in my food - I didn't realise how difficult it is
having long hair!! Thank god they're only clip ins. My day ended in Oscars my
favourite restaurant in the world!! If you've read my blog you probably already
know that we go quite often, (in fact I'm hoping to go for my birthday). I just
love the buffet spread they put on and because I'm quite fussy when I eat,
there isn't always something I can eat but I still manage to eat two starters,
two mains and two deserts. Yes you do have to wheel me out!!
To the outfit...
Day - I've had this vintage dress for
a few years now (I picked it up in Camden);
but I just haven't had the chance to wear it. Because of the sheerness of the
dress, I've been trying to find a slip to go underneath and that alone took me
a year to find. It does sound dramatic but you'd be surprised how many places
actually don't do them. I ended up picking mine up in
Marks and Spencer as a
pack of two, (I did cut the bows off the front as I didn't like it). You always
find it where you least expect it!! I did chuck on my favourite sandals from
Next. I've had these for a few years now and I love them! You haven't seen
these before as last year I actually lost them in my room (I know too much
clothes); but by a sheer flook I stumbled upon them a few months ago and knew
they had to be worn with this dress.
Evening - I picked this dress up from
Primark two years ago, when they had reduced most of the dresses to a fiver. I
did go completely mental and buy about five or six; but I've only worn one of
them which is this one I'm wearing here. That event definitely taught me not to
buy just because it's the right price, because it might not be the right item
for you. I wasn't originally going to wear it last night but for some reason I
wanted to dress like a Princess. I decided to put it with a simple cardigan and
my little wedges, (I'm wearing no tights as it was boiling yesterday).
This is a very long post!!
I seem to sit down to start writing
these not knowing what to say and by the end of it, I've seem to have written
an essay!! I surprise myself every time.
I'm currently resting on the sofa as
in the middle of the night I've done something to my leg, so now it hurts when
I bend it or even attempt to walk. Typical how this happens the day before I
have work!!
I seem to use that phrase too much -
typical me...
