Hey everyone!!
I hope you're all well!!
I'm so sorry I've been absent!
I'm afraid I've been completely busy
and tired with work and my stupid foot!
I do apologise for the lack of
posts!!
Also with my dodgy foot I'm not
dressed in anything too glamorous.
It's laziness again...
I'M SORRY!!
I promise to be good!!
I keep making promises...sorry...
Anyway...
This was me yesterday after coming
back from an afternoon out with Charlie.
So Charlie promised to take me out in
Mildred yesterday, as I have booked my theory test (woo). I initially started
driving two years ago; but gave it up because I started volunteering and had no
time to do it. So eventually after two years I have decided to go back to
driving - first step is to actually do the theory test. I've started studying
(need to get back to that); but I'm still nervous of not doing well etc. Anyway
I will let you know how it goes. Now I didn't exactly wake up early yesterday
and by didn't exactly I mean - 1pm! I rolled out of bed and in to my fabulous Eurovision outfit and headed
out the door. Charlie and I got in to Mildred and started on my little lesson.
I was taking notes about how Mildred works and what to or not to do. When I
started driving two years ago I was in a manual, so learning to drive an
automatic is a whole different story. Charlie was a really helpful teacher and
it makes me want to drive even more then before. After driving around for a bit
(plus topping up on petrol); Charlie decided she wanted to go somewhere to eat.
After much debate (I say debate more like indecisiveness); Charlie decided on
going to Bromley to Joe's Kitchen. We've been meaning to go back after we went
last January; but the call of Bluewater has always been stronger. It literally
took AGES to find a parking space, but after Charlie prayed (I'm not even
kidding she actually did) we found one as if by magic. Thankfully our parking
space was in the Boots part of The Glades,
so I only had to limp down three or four escalators and a two minute walk. In Joe's Kitchen we were only going to
have snacky stuff, but when we worked it out it was cheaper to get a meal. So I
ended up having a veggie breakfast which was sooooooooooo nice and Charlie had
another variation of a veggie breakfast. We were only in Bromley for an hour or
so before we soon left to head home. As you guys know Eurovision was on last night,
which is literally my FAVOURITE time of the year. I was decked out in my outfit
ready for the show to start, (do you know how hard it is to stay dressed when
you're at home). Soon 8pm came around and I was surrounded by Eurovision mania. The family
had a platter of food from various countries (mainly Italy
and Greece)
and we sat and watched the whole shebang unfold. Denmark won and I liked the song,
but I don't think it was a winning song. Although to be honest I wouldn't mind
a trip to Denmark
next year!!
To the outfit...
So Charlie and I (even my Dad)
dressed up for Eurovision
and because it was in Malmo,
Sweden this
year we decided to go to Monki. I have
three new items to show you in this outfit - firstly it's my adorable
dungarees. As I have mentioned previously in my May
Tumblr post I have been after a pair of dungarees for soooooo long; but I
just haven't found a pair that have stood out to me. So the other day I was
browsing on ASOS Marketplace and I
decided to type in dungarees and see what came up. It was as if it was meant to
be, as one of the first pairs that came up were the ones you see on me here. I
couldn't believe it when I saw them and they were £12!! An absolute and total
bargain!! Even with P&P they were still £16 which is cheap for a pair of
vintage dungarees. I wasn't too sure on the colour of these in the picture, but
they looked so much better when I received them. They fit perfectly and I'm
just absolutely in love with them and I can't wait for the summer to get here!!
The next (and last) two are these tops from Monki.
As Eurovision was being
held in Sweden,
Charlie and I decided to head to Monki.
Unfortunately I couldn't go up to the shop myself, due to my blasted right foot
so I sent my Mum and Charlie with a list. This lovely mesh top you see here is
something I would never usually go for, but when I saw this in Lexi's (sototallyvlog
and FashionFilth) haul I immediately wanted
it. I had a look on the website but couldn't find it (plus the £6 P&P put
me off); so I sent Mum and Charlie with a picture of the top. When they arrived
back home I had a feeling they didn't get what I wanted - how wrong I was!! I
looked in the Monki bag and folded up there
was this top and I was soooooooo happy! It's such a unique and different top to
what I usually wear; but the best part is that it's oversized and it's long.
It's perfect for layering in the summer or winter and even for the beach. I am
in love with this piece because it is so different and it's perfect for any
occasion. The second piece is this neon vest top underneath. As you guys know I
am not a fan of neon, well it's not that I'm not a fan but I've just never
tried it. My first venture in to neon was the Primark
necklace I picked up a few weeks ago, and for me that was baby steps. So
when my Mum came home with this little vest top, I wasn't quite sure what to
make of it. I admit I did like the pop of colour underneath the black mesh; but
I think I'm going to stick to neutral colours (it's now my bed top).
I honestly didn't think this post was
going to be this long; (it has taken me nearly 3 hours to write it - I blame YouTube).
Well I think it's now time to go and
distract myself with YET more YouTube
videos...
If you want to distract yourself too,
