In The Cold November Rain...

Hey Everyone!!

So even though I did pop out today, I didn't like my outfit therefore there is no OOTD post.

But seen as I was wearing half of my make up (long story); I thought I might do a video!!

I decided to a November Favourites video with some things I've been loving this month.

Here's the video and I hope you ENJOY!!

Sometimes I Wish I Could Act Like A Boy...

Hat - New Look

Top - River Island

Trousers - Warehouse

Jacket(s) - Primark & Berty & Gerty Vintage

Shoes - New Look

Jewellery - Topshop & Miss Selfridge

Good Morrow Everyone!!

It's a 'lovely' day today (notice how I use the term lovely loosely).

Are we all enjoying the winter months??

Don't worry I'm on the fence as well.

I do love wearing the chunky knits and hiding under the duvet; but I miss the days where I could walk outside with a denim jacket on and not freeze to death.

Anyway...

Just a quick post today!!

This was me yesterday after I went to IKEA and ASDA with the parentals (glamorous).

Yesterday's plans were last minute as I originally planned on spending the day at home; but when my Mum promised me an IKEA breakfast I knew I couldn't refuse. I got changed in a flash which meant not make up (hence why my face is covered); and I chucked on my trusty beanie. The only problem with IKEA breakfasts is that I don't eat half of it; that is why I have to have a kiddie’s breakfast which consists of three items. Naturally two of them are hash browns as I love them; the other is egg and just to keep in with the theme I used plastic cutlery (I'm so weird). I enjoyed my breakfast and I am quite enjoying eating breakfast at the moment; of course when it's a fry up I'm naturally going to enjoy it more. After feeding ourselves we walked through IKEA and I saw a Mount Wordsworth!! I was so happy that I went up to it and hugged it. I really am odd... The best part of IKEA was the travelator, which Dad and I got excited about it that we even put our hands up. We then headed to ASDA, where O M G you should all check out their George G21 range. The range has taken inspiration from the Wild West, with lasso prints and rodeo inspired t-shirts. Come pay day half of the collection will be in my wardrobe!! I did see an Aurora birthday cake which made me angry, as they didn't think of doing that a month ago when it was my birthday!! Odd child... I lead a boring life I really do!!

To the outfit...

You might have noticed the post title which I took from the song Like a Boy - Ciara. I really do feel like I stole this outfit from my brother or my boyfriend; I have neither of those so this outfit for me represents comfort rather then style. I was originally planning on dressing up for ASDA because I can; but I decided with the early morning and the lack of time chucking on a hoody was more appropriate. I am wearing two items of men’s clothing in this outfit, one is my Primark hoody and the other is my River Island t-shirt. I picked this t-shirt up a couple of months ago while I was out shopping. I popped in to River Island just to have a look and decided to look at the men’s section, which for graphic t-shirts I absolutely love. I saw this top and knew I had to have it. I love that it says 'Frat Party' on it and also the writing at the bottom says 'Summer of '69'. My favourite Bryan Adams song is Summer of '69 so it was a no brainer I needed it. It was £7 or £8 in the sale and it was a done deal by then. I would recommend all you guys to check out the men’s sections, cause sometimes they do better things then women’s (except when it comes to sparkles).

It's going to be a pretty basic week as I have another busy weekend.

I'm currently relaxing on the sofa watching 'The Real Housewives of New York City', (my absolute guilty pleasure) after doing my chores for the day which I feel good about.

Should I do more chores??

Nah!!

Now Look At Me I’m Sparkling, A Firework, A Dancing Flame...

Happy Sunday!!

Yes it's actually Sunday again!!

How is that possible??

This week has just flown by and I am now planning on hibernating.

Anyway...

On to the task in hand!

It is time for another Sunday playlist.

I have been doing themes for about 3 weeks now so perhaps it's time for another. I think the theme for this week will be...let me give you some clues! She loves a Friday night, she is every boy’s teenage dream, she kissed a girl and liked it; but most importantly she is the only woman I would ever marry!

Yes it's none other than my wife Katy Perry!!

I absolutely love Katy I saw her live a year or two ago and she was amazing!! I have nothing but good things to say about her. The hardest part of this playlist is picking only 5 songs!! 

So here are only a few of my favourite Katy Perry songs.

Sit back, relax and ENJOY!!

God I look weird in all these photos!!

I know I've had a completely shitty week, but this really does take the biscuit!

It really has been an odd week.

I know I probably say that a lot but I feel as if this really has been odder then usual.

I really do go off topic as well don't I??

Back to the point of us being here...

Hello Everyone!!

How are we all??

Good??

That's what I like to hear!!

Well it's good to see you all after a 6 day absence!!

I've been a naughty blogger but I have been ever so slightly busy.

Anyway...

This is a collection of some of the outfits I've been wearing this week, (for today's outfit I basically wore this just with a camouflage jacket and no beanie). Now as you know I started my work experience this week (hence being MIA). It's been pretty up and down this week so I'm just going to give a quick summary. I started on Monday and had to wait around for 40 minutes to be picked up from reception; which I didn’t mind to start off with but my calmness turned in to freak out mode soon enough. It was a long and tiring day but pretty much I did what I do in my day job. I woke up on Tuesday absolutely aching all over (I'm not even lying by Wednesday I actually couldn't move); I went in none the less which is a big deal for me as I never do a second day. I left at lunchtime due to a long story I don't even want to get in to, so I popped and saw my Nan.J who was glad to see me. I had Wednesday and Thursday off as everything was just too much from the aching to everything else. I didn't have any expectations going in to this experience, but it was interesting to see what it would be like. I waited two years for this experience but I don't think it was worth the wait. We'll see how I get on this week (that's if they want me back); world's worst intern over here!! I've spent too much time sleeping in and being lethargic. It's been an odd few days with some crazy stressful incidents. For instance Thursday my Dad and I popped to Battle to pick up my Nan.M; Pepper my aunts dog got out and cause she’s only a puppy she's a nutcase. My Nan was trying to call her and my Dad got in the car to drive up the hill to get her and I did too. Basically long story short after a traumatic 10 minutes and some lovely helpers, Pepper ended up coming to me so I grabbed her collar and put her lead on. I was literally on the verge of crying it was insane. Then yesterday was Charlie's graduation!! Yes she has finally left her University days behind. I was a complete wreck yesterday I literally cried three times, you're probably thinking that's so sweet...it's not! In fact I was crying about me and not Charlie. It really hit home yesterday that not only have I not slept properly in god knows how long; but that I will never have a graduation and I will never go to University. Education and I are not a match made in heaven or a match made at all, so the likely hood of me going to University is beyond unlikely. The day started off stressful as the cap that covers the bit where you inflate the tyres (I know what it's called I'm just too tired to remember); fell actually in to the tyre. Well as you can expect my Dad went in to absolute panic mode, but after me being the genius I am I managed to flick it out. Now I know I sound like I saved the day on both occasions, but this is honestly how it happened. I stayed in Cheltenham last night with Charlie where we had a meal and a quiet night in. We drove home in Mildred this morning via McDonald's drive through, which I haven't had in DONKEYS it was nice and I enjoyed my hash browns (LOVE THEM). I'm home now and enjoying a rest before work tomorrow...don't get me started...

To the outfit(s)...

If you look at the photos above or the link you might notice something odd. Yes I am wearing colour and yes I'm dressed quite girly. I don't know what it is; but when I'm required to do something like work experience or an occasion I always dress like a girl. Ok I know I'm a girl but today's outfit was the closest I got to my usual self. I didn't know what to wear on Monday and I didn't want to scare anyone with my usual attire. I opted for this pink ensemble which for me is very pink; although I can talk as this is an outfit repeat (here is the original). I over heated in this jumper and at one point I wanted to take all my clothes off! I know I have hot flushes but Monday was ridiculous. Tuesday's outfit is more me in a sense that there is a nautical feel to it. I chose the stripey top (which is actually a long body-con top); as I found it on my floor and thought I might as well wear it. I teamed it with my wet look Influence skater skirt which I love, this is only the second time I've worn it but I already love it. I will add that it was £9.99 and I ordered it in M/L, which although is not flattering sitting down (what is) but fine when standing up. I did a simple flat and chunky knit to keep the look simple, unfortunately cause of the boilingness I didn't keep the cardigan on but at least everyone saw my tattoo. Thursday I borrowed a dress from Charlie that made me look like I was pregnant...enough said. Friday I had no idea what to wear. I was going to wear my birthday dress (which I've still yet to wear); but decided on wearing something more classic. I will say my bust looks huge in this dress but I think the geometric print helps with that. It's very 1960's influenced with the cut and print and looks vintage, you wouldn't believe I bought it on my 19th birthday last year from House of Fraser in Cirencester. It's Oasis and was only £20 I think which was a good price for a good dress. I chucked on a chunky cardigan for good measure but I was still freezing. You either have Cheltenham hot or Cheltenham cold - nothing in between. Today's outfit is basically the outfit I was meant to wear on Wednesday, so I decided to give it an outing.

Blooming hell I've written a lot!!

No wonder my left hand feels weird.

Well like I said I'm home now and hopefully become more relaxed then I've been this week. Not to mention that the idea of hibernating looks pretty darn good right now.

Typical me...

The Bedtime Story That I'll Sing To You When We Turn Out The Lights...

HELLO EVERYONE!!!

Yes it is Sunday again and you know what that means...

Sunday Playlist!!

YAYAYAY!!!

As you might notice I'm doing this earlier then usual and that's because I had the day off work today. I've been feeling weird all week (as you know); plus with starting work experience tomorrow I want to be better.

Now for the past two weeks I've been doing the musical theme; but this week it's time for a new theme...SMASH!!

I absolutely love Smash it's one of my favourite programmes, so in homage to this show I'm going to do a playlist. I do like pretty much most of the songs they sing (ok all of them); as you may know I'm obsessed with 'A Thousand and One Nights'. 

It's still on repeat!!

ENJOY!!

Good?? 

That's what I like to hear!!

I'm still feeling a little out of it myself; but I'm popping to the doctor tomorrow to see what’s wrong.

God I'm tired!!

And I know I say that a lot but it seems to be a reoccurring theme this week.

Maybe the universe is telling me to be a hermit??

Who am I to deny the universe!!

Anyway...

This was me earlier today when I came back from an outing in good old London town.

This week I wanted to pop up to London to find out where I would be doing my work experience. The last thing I wanted to do was turn up on Monday two hours late. Beforehand I went for a quick coffee with Leah as she now works on Old Bond Street. I headed up to Green Park Station which was a bit frantic, as I ran for the East Croydon train, then waited for the London Victoria train, I then headed to the underground and realising how much I hated the underground. When I finally got Green Park Station I went out the wrong entrance; but I have to admit the wrong entrance was a pretty one. I walked out on the Buckingham Palace side with all the greenery which I loved. I eventually went to the right entrance and met Leah. We headed to Starbucks where I say we had 'coffee' loosely, as I had water and Leah had a cup of tea. Even though it was only for about 20 minutes, it was really good to see her and have a little chat. Afterwards I did see where she worked (so posh); my allergies of course hated it (I don't eat chocolate) but pretty none the less. I soon left Leah and walked down Old Bond Street; I have a feeling I drooled on the Dolce & Gabbana windows as I walked past (I apologise to those who were working). To cut a long story short I walked all the way from Old Bond Street to Covent Garden. It was a long walk and I got lost (pretty bad for a born and bred Londoner); but as soon as I saw Tatty Devine I knew where I was. I pretty much did a really scenic route for a walk that should have taken half the time. I did find where I will be doing my work experience so at least that's sorted. On the way back in to Covent Garden I had a creepy guy start talking to me, note to any blokes reading this - don't tell girls they're beautiful and touch their hair in the middle of the street!! It's weird!! I did resist going in to any shops apart from Rokit, which I had no idea that they had a shop there. I had a brief look in there as I'm broke and I was slowly shutting down by then. I did have a look around Covent Garden (don't worry I didn't hover outside the Royal Opera House for too long); the Christmas decorations are really pretty. They have massive baubles and a disco ball (which btw needs to be mine). I popped in to Caffe Nero on the way home for a cake (which wasn't very nice) and a sandwich from Pret. I was only out for three hours and yet it feels so much longer!!

To the outfit...

Now don't worry I didn't go out just like this (I'm not crazy...well); I was wearing my black and white cardigan and leather jacket from Primark. I wanted to layer up today as I know how cold it is lately (don't I know it). I've wanted to buy a new coat but I honestly can't afford to buy one till January, which I don't see the point of so I'll probably hold off now. Some of you might be thinking that the fur doesn't really go with the outfit; but I liked it for colour and also for a neutral element. Look at this spiffing maxi skirt isn't it pretty!! Yes this is my new Urban Outfitters Maxi Skirt that I picked up for a tenner on Saturday. I really like this skirt I think it sits really nicely and shapes me well (Charlie said I look slim...yayay); I like the tribal print because it's not too vibrant but has all the right colours. Plus for a tenner who can complain!! I decided to pair it with grey today as I had this outfit in my head since Saturday. I wasn't quite sure when I paired it this morning, so that’s why I added the gilet to break it up a bit. I kept the jewellery really simple I wore my Silver Spike Hoops and my usual skull rings.

Well I'm knackered!!

I'm gonna have an early morning tomorrow because of the doctors and I might see my Nan.J.

There literally is no rest for the wicked!!

But I do have Saturday at home...so I must be a good girl!!

Yeah right!!

When He Warned Of The Cost, And The Heart That He Lost...

Monthly Want - Mid/Late November

ASOS Trousers In Stain Glass Print - £30

 

Again I'm being a little weird by doing another Monthly Want so early in the month.

I can explain...

You see next week I go on work experience for two weeks and I probably won't have time for blogging. Naturally I'll try and get an outfit post in or a video as that'll probably be easier. So I thought as blogging will be scarce I'd get this post done beforehand.

How pretty are these trousers??

I've been wanting to expand my trouser collection as I seem to always wear my old faithfuls or leggings. But with my weight constantly fluctuating I didn't see the point; I've now realised that it's going to fluctuate whether I want it to or not. I've been shopping around for some unusual or patterned trousers to add a little oomph in to my wardrobe. I'm always looking on ASOS at the moment and happened to stumble upon these. I think these will be perfect for all year round with the vibrant print. I like that these are high waisted and a tapered leg which makes them perfect for during day, or if you wanted to chuck on a pair of heels for an evening look. For £30 you're definitely going to your wear out of these trousers. As you know I'm not someone who wears a lot of colour, so I like that I can just pair these with a plain t-shirt or tank top.

I really like these trousers and they're on my wish list!!

With Christmas coming up next month we'll have to wait and see what Santa brings.

Please be Johnny Depp, if not I'll have these!!

A Single Voice, Above The Noise...

Hey All!!

It's Sunday again!!

I've had another long shift at work which was full of chat and standing around.

I am now tired from more lack of sleep (boo); so I seem to be running on overdrive!!

Anyway...

I'm going to carry on the musical theme this week as well!!

I think I literally spend most of my time listening to songs from musicals, I don't know what it is about those songs but they always cheer me up.

Whenever I start singing it's always from a musical!!

So sit back, relax, sing along and Enjoy!!

Hey All!!

How are we all??

Good??

That's what I like to hear!!

I have to admit I'm a mix of emotions today...

You see on one hand I only had three and a bit hours sleep so I'm half dead; and on the other I'm currently watching the Festival of Remembrance which gets me going.

I don't know what it is about the troops but I just start crying!!

When it was the Super Bowl I actually started crying when they flashed to the troops out in Afghanistan!!

Yes I started crying at troops watching football...don't ask!!

Also I did my first haul video today and whenever I try to upload it my laptop keeps dying, which now pisses me off cause it's happened three times now.

Anyway...

This was me earlier today after coming back from Bluewater with Charlie.

Charlie had previously offered to take me on a day out; but last Saturday I wasn't in exactly a good mood (something about Saturdays) so we put it off. We kept thinking about where we'd want to go but we pretty much wanted to go everywhere. There were many suggestions like zoos, castles, National Trust places (reminds me of my childhood); but in the end we decided to window shop in Bluewater. We were up pretty early this morning especially considering I hadn't really slept, (that's what you get for crashing on the sofa and being up till 5am). Even though when we left in Mildred we were running later we still got there early (well for us). It was quite funny because as we arrived at the vastness that is Bluewater, we were listening to 'It's a Small World' which instantly reminds me of Disneyland Paris. I suddenly got really excited and felt as if I was in Disneyland. I won't bore you with all the details of Charlie and I walking in and out of various shops; but here are a few highlights - we got lost in John Lewis, Charlie treated me to the Animators Doll of Mulan (I already have the Aurora one); I picked up an amazing aztec/tribal print maxi skirt for a tenner from Urban Outfitters, Charlie got her dress for her post graduation night out, I picked up a present for my Mum's birthday and we had lunch in a nice restaurant called Giraffe. Overall it was a nice day but by god was I tired (still am) when we left; doesn't help that I currently have back/shoulder ache on my right side. Mean.

To the outfit...

I feel like I'm currently dressing like a 16 year old. Not that it's a bad thing to dress like that, I'm merely saying for a 20 year old I should be dressing more demurely. I wanted to be comfortable and initially last night I did kinda want to wear my Alexy boots; but I would have died in them and would have had to buy a new pair of shoes. I decided to wear my new Purple Cosmic Print Lace Up Trainers from New Look. I ordered these in a large order last Saturday and I'm not a big trainer fan; but for some reason I liked the alternative look of these. I really liked the cosmic print which I wasn't originally sure I would buy in to; but I think this is a good way to dip your foot in. For £9.99 (they're currently 25% off so they're cheaper); you're undoubtedly going to get your moneys worth and I wore them today and I have no complaints. I have quite big feet so when I see my size I buy them and I'm glad I invested in these shoes. They're definitely going to be my go to pair of shoes in this unpredictable weather. I kept the rest of my outfit pretty basic with a grey/black mix with silver jewellery.

I'm not feeling like myself tonight and I think I need to forget that I have work in the morning.

I'm going to try and upload my haul tomorrow without my laptop dying.

Wish me luck...

Evening All!!!

And it really is evening as it is currently 11:25pm!!

I can explain - I've just got back from drinks with friends, I enjoyed myself a lot and I hope to do it again.

I am also happy...(drum roll please)

The fire is on!! YAYAYAY!!!

I will no longer freeze to death while watching TV!!

I'm so happy about that...is that weird??

Anyway...

This was me yesterday after I got home from my interview.

I have to admit I was pretty nervous for my interview yesterday, in fact I spent most of the day memorising as much information as I could. (I'm not going to tell you who it was for just in case I don't get the job). I did go to somewhere new in London - Farringdon. Such an odd station and it's quite a big station. Anyway I ended up walking up a few backstreets (after originally going the wrong way); I tell you it's a tricky place to get to but I eventually found it. I would say there was about 20 - 25 of us there and I must admit I felt intimidated. I'm one of those who feels really confident when they leave the house; but goes back in to my shell when I'm surrounded by stylish people. After being forced to watch E News! (It was hell) we were taken downstairs where three tables waited. We all sat down and had to write out a suitability form etc (that part wasn't really interesting); and then as a table we were asked to design a shoe, brand, logo etc which was kind of fun. I love doing tasks like that because I feel more confident now to put my opinion across. I felt quite proud of myself as I got to pick the celebrity endorsement for our shoe. I'm starting to realise now if I'm loud enough people will listen. After what felt like longer then it actually was we had to present our shoe in a presentation, I picked to talk about advertising and celebrity endorsement as it was all about magazines which are my kinda thing. Eventually they let most of the candidates go but kept some us behind, I was one of the ones kept behind and initially I was nervous as sometimes that’s not a good sign. There must have been seven of us left and we sat there nervously; but all they wanted to know was our preferences about where we wanted to work. I would like to think that's a good sign but I'll find out by Wednesday, so fingers crossed!!

To the outfit...

I knew I had to dress smart/fashionable which is an obvious combination. I wanted to do something more alternative with a maxi skirt; but I thought I'd better keep it more traditional. I definitely wanted to wear flats as I knew potentially I'd probably be doing a lot of walking. I went for a plain outfit (it's quite funny because I would probably wear this to work); I originally was going to go for a red blazer but felt like the black and white one was more appropriate. With wearing black and white I planned on wearing silver jewellery and of course that includes me new cross necklace. I love this necklace and for £6 from ASOS I think it's an absolute bargain. I did decide to wear my old faithful top from Primark, which I think I wear too much. I seem to wear it to most of the interviews I've gone to and I wear it all the time for work. It's just such a good top and I love it, as it hides my lumps and bumps but also shows some lovely cleavage (I can't help it). I topped it off with my new bag from New Look. How nice is this bag?? At the moment most of the bags I own (that are black) keep braking, so I was in dyer need of a new bag and I hunted this one down. It's nice and big and can be worn whether handheld or on the shoulder. And for £15.99 you can't complain, it's my new go to bag.

Btw I've got a new OOTD video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b24ciTl0y3s&feature=plcp

I do apologise if this post is a little bit boring; but it is now 1:35am in the morning and I'm out of it.

Suppose I should get some sleep...

Nah!!

I've Go To Move On And Be Who I Am...

Hey All!!!

Hope you're all well this afternoon!!

I'm under the weather today and have been since 5am this morning (such a long day).

But I'm hoping I'll feel better soon and not so cold.

Anyway...

Today is different to what I usually do.

Now if any of you follow me on Twitter or happened to see my tweet about saying goodbye to college, you might be wondering what exactly is going on. Well that's why I'm here today to clear a few things up.

I officially left college yesterday as I felt I could no longer be there. I've never felt comfortable at college and like myself, I did feel better when Leah started and we clicked but after she left I went back to how I was before. I didn't have the drive to do the work not because I'm not hard working; but purely because my heart wasn't in it. In doing this course you're working towards University and even though I've been to open days, I just never felt excited about spending 3 years piling up debt - if I wanted to do that I'd buy a Chanel bag!! University was always something I was never sure of and I wish I was 'cause it would be such a good experience; but it's just not for me - laments terms education isn't for me. Education and I have never got along together we're very much two different people who want two different things. We constantly make up and break up and even though we want to make it work, we just can't seem to find the balance and the happiness in the relationship. So for the last time (I hope) I broke up with education and I feel better for it. Having school phobia in Secondary school has always made me weary of education, I never trusted the education system and without trust there can be no relationship. (I really am weird).

So what's next...

Well I still have my job at Debenhams on a Sunday, plus with Christmas coming up it means I can do more hours. I have my work experience in a week and a half so hopefully that will open up some doors. I'm gonna go and work hard and of course look fabulous. I have a job interview tomorrow which is for a permanent position and I think full time, so that's not too bad plus it means I don't have to worry about finding more jobs. I have been applying like mad to various jobs (all retail) and hopefully something will happen. If I don't get the job tomorrow, then at least I can focus on work experience and of course I always have Debenhams to fall back on. 

Overall I think I'm going to be alright in the long term. I'm going to focus on doing the things that I want to do and what make me happy. I want to get back to driving (now Charlie has Mildred); I also want to work on my voice with singing lessons and hopefully do the grades and finally work on my novel. 

Honestly there will probably days where I will regret my decision and cry my eyes out; but there will be days where I'm happy with what I've now got and the freedom. I'm 20 years old so it's not as if I'm a spring chicken who has the time to figure out what they want, I'm now an adult who needs to decide what they ACTUALLY want. Right now I want to be happy and that is my main priority.

Of course if any of you guys have questions or can relate to me, then you're more then welcome to comment or send me an email.

Hope you all have a good day!!

From The Stories And Poems, I Would Steal From A Library Shelf...

A little bit of inspiration for November!!

Now it's getting colder there's more of an urge to cover up rather then make an effort, so I thought I would show some effortless looks. Whether a chunky knit or a cosy coat all these looks will be the perfect compliment.

Come to think of it I should probably start digging out all my chunky knits and thick coats.

To repeat myself - bring on the cold!!

You're probably thinking why am I doing an early November monthly want??

Well it's easy - I forgot to do an October one!! Seen as the 23rd came right after my birthday (21st in case you forgot); so with all the commotion (and mental breakdowns) I completely forgot to do one. So I thought I would do two this month instead!!

Anyway...

How nice is this dress??

How have I not known about this dress before!!!

I saw this the other day on LLYMRS and I immediately knew I needed it in my wardrobe. It's one of those pieces that you can dress up and dress down. Can I just mention that this dress is the perfect colour to match most of my wardrobe, not to mention perfect for work!! And it also comes in other colours - this dress is so versatile. For £25 as well I do believe you will get your moneys worth out of this dress, I know that I would probably wear it everyday. They do a short sleeved version as well which will be good for spring/summer; but it's not a bad idea to get them in now and then you've got them. The fit of this dress is perfect as it will show off your shape, but still have the right amount of bagginess on the days when you want to hide everything (I often have them). Can I see this dress being a part of my wardrobe in the future?? Definitely!!

Bring on payday!!

(Yes I've already blown through my pay check - oops).

How are we all??

I'm not feeling completely myself today!!

In fact I'm meant to be on a family trip to Camden but I just felt like a day in.

I feel like I get more and more anti-social as the days go on...

Is that a bad thing??

I suppose it is and I should learn to be sociable again...well maybe after the weekend!!

Anyway...

Just a quick post today!!

This was me yesterday after the first trip in Mildred to the garden centre Polhill (glamorous I know).

Now originally I was meant to meet up with a friend yesterday but that fell through, so I was sitting on the sofa bored and hounding Charlie and Mum with texts till they asked if I wanted to go for a drive. I should probably mention now that Charlie has bought herself a cherry red Toyota Yaris (second hand). It's a really nice car and compact for what (I) she needs; it felt really natural being in the car with her driving but I kept laughing at my Dad in the back!! We were on our way to Polhill, when we stopped off to have a Toby Carvery but unfortunately there was a 40 minute way! Completely unfair! Polhill is one of my favourite places for two reasons - Fred and Wilma. Fred and Wilma are two MASSIVE Koi fishes that live at Polhill among others. I used to love running straight to see them; but its funny now as I'm tall enough to look over and in to the tank. I literally think everything you could possibly need is at Polhill it's just a mash up of gifts, clothes, pets, plants, food etc. I love going there when I get the chance. I have to admit Charlie is quite a good driver, I think she'll be better when my Dad doesn't bark his orders at her. Note to self - don't let Dad in the car when I start driving!!

To the outfit...

I was quite good yesterday as I did kind of know what I wanted to wear. I had the word 'jumper' flashing in my mind as I know how cold it is at the moment. I was initially going to chuck on my vintage cream chunky knit jumper, but I thought I'd be more girly and go for my Red Herring Pink/Peach Sequinned Jumper instead. I actually picked this jumper up quite some time ago (I think last month maybe). I initially was going to go for a longer neutral jumper but at the last minute I changed my mind (typical); I was drawn to the sequinned pinkness of this jumper. Now you know I'm not a fan of pink but I just really like this jumper, thankfully I did get 40% off it (extra 20% staff discount). In total it was £23.50 (I think) which I thought was quite good considering I'll dig it out every winter. It's not that long as well which means it goes well with skirts, over dresses and with trousers. I wanted to toughen up the look by adding a bit of camouflage (I actually love this jacket).

I apologise if this post is a little all over the place as I'm not quite with it today. 

I think I should actually hibernate...not a bad idea!!

See ya in 6 months!!

I wish...
