Hey guys!!
It's Monday!!
A new week has begun and it's here for a full 7 days!!
Who'd a thunk??
But hey that means 7 days of fun!!
Well HERMIT TIME!!!
YAYAYAYAY!!
I assure you I plan on being a boring old fart this week and do nothing.
(I think this is the part where I say 'famous last words!!')
I just want a boring week!!
Is that too much to ask for??
I reckon my tiredness is talking for me!!!
I'M SO TIRED!!!
When am I not...
I don't think I've recovered from Friday!!
I blame the Cotswolds!!
Anyway...
Just a quick post today!!
This was me yesterday after I popped to Bluewater for lunch with Charlie.
Now I guess you could say it was planned (she kept bugging me for two days); but as to our destination that was spontaneous. I originally didn't want to go out as being in bed seemed like a better solution, but when I thought about my options for dinner I didn't want any of it. I eventually got up and out of bed without any fuss, I even washed my hair - I know!! I actually washed my hair without any fuss, it simply was pure spontaneity. I was running 10 minutes late but I don't think Charlie minded so much, (I’m always late - I really am). We got in the car and mutually agreed to go to Bluewater as we didn't fancy Bromley. We arrived at Bluewater in no time and parked as near to John Lewis as we could. We did accidentally walk the wrong way round, so the walk to the restaurant was longer then expected. We ended up going to Giraffe which is a really nice joint and it's the third time we've gone. We had a little heart to heart and just a general chat which was nice. I feel like Charlie and I always have grown up chats when we're out and about (weird). I had a veggie breakfast with chips and Charlie had a burrito, she also had a chicken dumpling starter while I had a desert. Right now I wanted to try a key lime pie which I've wanted to try for soooo long. Now my understanding of a key lime pie was a lime sponge on a biscuit base and egg whites on top - this wasn't what I got!! The key lime pie that I received was on a biscuit base but was surrounded by cream. It didn't taste like lime (except for the 'marmalade' underneath it); plus I had to scrape off the chocolate on top. Overall I did like it (you wouldn't believe it); so if you are ever at Giraffe do try the key lime pie just make sure you have no expectations. After lunch Charlie and I headed to the Disney Store to get me a present!! This is always my favourite part of any trip we do. I ended up getting the Cheshire Cat cushion, as I love the Cheshire Cat and pretty much any 'Alice inWonderland' characters (Mad Hatter is my favourite and the Queen of Hearts). We also had a look around Forever 21 where Charlie saw an old uni friend, so I decided to have a look around while she had a chat. Home time loomed so we decided to head back to the car and home. Definitely a different Sunday compared to what I'm used to; but I enjoyed it and I hope we do it more often. Don't I have the nicest sister!!
To the outfit...
Now as you can see I decided to make more of an effort with my outfit yesterday. It's really not that hard to put together an outfit that actually looks half decent. I based this outfit around my new Primark skater dress, which I picked up last Thursday. As you guys know I popped in to town last week to do some shopping with Charlie and my mum. I accidentally spent more in Primark then I originally planned (one t-shirt turned in 6). I did pick this skater dress up for £13 which I've been wanting for ages. Every time I go in to Primark I always mean to pick this dress up; but I always forget about it and buy something else. This time I saw this dress on its own and the fact it was in my size meant it was fate (to me). I like the fit but you can see my lumps and bumps (well within reason) and the sleeves are long but wrist length on me. The length is short but it's fine for what I need and I like the red/black marl sort of print. My belt that I have on here was an absolute bargain for only £1.99 from Oxfam. I fell in love with this belt when I saw it among others, the gold lion heads drawing me in. There is a lion head on the buckle and then spaced apart around the belt itself. I've wanted a lion necklace for a while but I feel it's overrated now, so I like this alternative and also a different spin on the trend.
BTW check out my new OOTD video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBrWnIg42wM
Well I think I've spent longer writing this then actually being out yesterday!!
I get distracted so damn easily especially now 'Shakespeare in Love' is on (soooooooooo funny).
I'm looking forward to a bit of HERMIT TIME tomorrow!!
YAYAYAY!!
Oh wait I have to go out...BOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I want to be a hermit!!
Who's with me??
