Yay! No hat today!!

I made sure I did something different today so I just clipped a bit of my hair up on both sides, plus even though in the photo I'm wearing sunnies I am in fact wearing make up but after being out for about 6 hours and with 2 hours sleep; it's better if you don't see what I look like.

First off Happy Good Friday!!

Easter is just 2 days away and I'm slightly excited which never happens but it's nice to look forward to something, sadly no Easter eggs for me as I haven't had chocolate for 6 years!!

Now today I headed down to Battle to visit my Nanny M and family. It was a bit of a family event as they were about 12 of us (14 if you include the dogs); I spent most of my time dunking some hoops (is that how you say it?) I have missed my calling in life! I'm actually quite good at it except that I can't catch the ball but throwing is more my forte. It was nice catching up with my Nan she's been a big help lately with trying to keep me sane, so it was good to get some advice.

Now to the outfit...

I wanted to wear my vintage shirt I got a few weeks ago with my brown slipper shoes (as I call them) as I haven't worn them yet; surprisingly they're quite comfortable I'm sure once I start wearing them more they will kill my feet. As you can see the return of my Warehouse chunky cardigan I just love it!! It's so comfy and keeps me snug as a bug in a rug and of course the return of my jeggings; I have not worn this is yonks!! They are a little bit tight on me at the moment but I constantly feel like I'm bloated so I'm blaming it on that; (not the doughnuts).

Now time to curl up and vegetate in front of the TV!!

Typical me...

Like I promised!!

Here is my pweedy make up that I had done at the Benefit counter at House of Fraser on Friday.

I've been going to Benefit for well over a year now and every time I go I always learn something new; not to mention that their products are so easy to use.

I do have a growing collection of Benefit products and my favourite one to date is the Instant Brow Pencil. I'm really fussy when it comes to my eyebrows and I always hate when they start to get over grown and I can't go get them waxed, so instead I just use the brow pencil to add them all together plus I love having slightly darker eyebrows.

Now I'll just have a little talk about my look in the photo. I said to Inge (she always does my make up) I wanted to do a look around red lipstick because I have one at home and I never know how to use it, so using the new foundation Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow (which is amazing) she set out doing a natural look 'cause of course if you do a bold lip you do a subtle eye. I did ask to look glowy as I think every woman should so Inge used Watt's Up which is a highlighter and is amazing it gives you a champagne glow, not to mention it adds a little sparkle to your complexion.

Now I never use eye shadow it's a definite no no for me because I never can do it right I always put too much or too little on, but there is a solution with the Creamless Cream Eye Shadow/Liner it is genius on a whole new level! It's great for anyone who is a novice like me or even professionals it's just a great product to use.

When it comes to red lipstick I learnt for a softer look for day you can add something like Benetinit Lip Balm SPF 15 for a softer approach and in fact I prefer it, you instantly get Jessica Rabbit lips which I completely love!!

I think through all my rambling what I'm trying to say is you need to start using Benefit. It is the best make up that I have ever used its easy and fool proof; plus it makes you look and feel amazing!!

It's all just amazing!

I say that too much...

Wow I look awkward in this photo.

Just a quick post today as not only am I half asleep but I've had a pretty boring day.

Today consisted of popping to the clinic (long story) and auditioning for Charlie's film project. I've realised I am completely no good at auditioning or in front of people full stop, now usually I wouldn't mind but this was in front of my parents and Charlie and all I could do was giggle.

Terrible I know!

Now to the outfit...

I've probably had this top for about 2 months and I've been putting off wearing it as every week I seem to buy more and more stuff; so today I decided to wear Daisy and I'm glad I did. Now this top is actually a size 14 (I usually buy size 16 or 18 to be bigger) and it's just the right amount of baggy and a nice sleeve length, plus the leopard print bow helps a lot too.

Now as you can see I am wearing leopard shoes, leopard accented top and leopard scarf it seemed necessary to be head to toe leopard today; it seems to happen more and more lately and yet I'm not worried I'm embracing it. Love the leopard!!

Home all day tomorrow which is my idea of heaven!

Well here's hoping...

Look at my pweedy make up!!

(I promise a close up photo will be coming soon.)

I am absolutely shattered and this has suddenly become a daily occurrence for me even when I sleep till 12pm.

Anyway on to the activities of the day...

Today I popped in to town with Charlie and my mum. The main item of the day was to have my make up done at the Benefit counter in House of Fraser which of course was my favourite part. I decided on red shiny lips (by the time the photo was taken the shininess had rubbed off) and a champagne colour glow. I love Benefit!!

The second aim of the day was to find Charlie the perfect party dress and after trying on what feels like a billion; she decided on her original choice (this one) from River Island and of course with the sale on my eye couldn't help but wander so I treated myself to a graphic t-shirt, I also got a purple playsuit (my new favourite summer find). Today has been really good shopping wise (I also got a Freddie Mercury quote top from Miss Selfridge) and I fell in love with the contents of Joy; but I don't think I want to be around crowds especially now the schools are out.

Now on to the outfit...

I am finally wearing my baseball jacket from Forever 21! It's so stylish and actually it's quite warm (you wouldn't believe it) and for a tenner in the sale it makes it more of a bargain. I am definitely going to keep an eye on Forever 21 when they have their sales they're should be some good bargains.

Now as you know the weather has been lovely so I thought I would embrace the sun by wearing black, white and grey (I'm terrible). I'm also wearing my new grey vest from New Look that I picked up last week and I love it, it's going to look great with my black high waisted shorts and leather jacket in the summer months. And of course I am never complete without a hat and today was no exception by chucking on my lovely sequinned beanie that I'm obsessed with, I have now decided to start collecting sequin beanies because they are amazing without a doubt!

Now it's time to relax for the weekend and eat doughnuts.

Well maybe just me...

'Till All My Lover's Dreams Come True...

Prada S/S 12

Spring has finally arrived!!

I don't think I could take anymore of the freezing cold or the rain or the snow or the wind; (I hate the weather in case you hadn't noticed).

So with spring being here I needed some inspiration for a Spring/Summer wardrobe and I knew the first and only place I would look is Prada. Just one look at this collection and you instantly fall in love, you're taken back to the 1950's America when Elvis Presley was the object of every teenage girls fantasies and Rock 'n' Roll was invented. 

Take me back now!

I am a fan of cars whether it's the movies or the objects themselves, so of course the idea of wearing clothes with cars on or shoes with flames coming off the back was the best thing since slice bread to me. The bright colours, prints, embellishments and flames this collection has it all.

My personal favourites are photos 1, 2, 5 and 7, each look encompasses the various parts of this collection, I think if I had to pick just one look it would be photo 2 it's one of those dresses that will go with anything and it's perfect for any occasion. (I would have said number 7 but sadly I’m not a fan of getting my legs out).

This collection is just versatile and I honestly think anyone can wear it.

Better start saving my pennies...

YAY!!! I finally have internet!!

So this week I spent a few days in the country with my sister at University.

I went from Tuesday - Saturday (with the last 2 outfits I was so tired and my Pyjamas were nearer to me then the camera).

These last 5 days have been exhausting but also a lot of fun. 

I managed to do some shopping on Wednesday I picked up some things from New Look and the new love of my life a chunky cardigan (Thursday's outfit) from Warehouse for £15!! I also got 2 DVDs from CEX Cabaret and Who Framed Roger Rabbit (one of my favourite films) and a Tiana doll from The Disney Store (something I collect weird I know). For once my sister Charlie spent more money then me but fortunately she was smarter and bought an outfit not singles.

On Thursday we went to Cirencester which is one of my favourite places to go. As I am one of the most laziest people ever (I'm working on it) we didn't get to Cirencester until 1pm and headed straight to Anne's Pantry which is located in my favourite antique shop, Anne's Pantry is such a nice cafe and also very peaceful and they do really tasty food! While looking in the antique shop after lunch I spotted and bought a vintage chain print shirt and I absolutely fell in love, I grabbed it and bought it in a heartbeat plus for £9.50 you can't complain. While in Cirencester I also purchased some sweets (yum!), a vintage scarf from a market, flat forms (been craving a pair) and aviators both from New Look and a teal stone ring for £1 from Dorothy Perkins. Cirencester also as the most amazing church which I used to love growing up as it houses the Boleyn Cup (Anne Boleyn has always been an obsession of mine). Shopping heaven!!

Charlie and I actually did paint your own pottery at Paint it Yourself Pottery Co. anyone who is near by I completely and utterly recommend going along and doing some, the staff were really nice and it was so relaxing and now I have a funky cupcake to add to my trinket box collection and Charlie has a fairy cup.

On Friday I actually had a singing lesson for the first time in absolute years! I was so nervous (I hate singing in front of people) and you could tell but after a 30 min break and a game of pool; I went back in to the room and felt so much more comfortable and managed to hit a high D flat! Which I never thought I would ever be able to do. 

As you can see this has been a very busy 5 day break I haven't even mentioned the long day and journey on Tuesday, hospital on Wednesday (Charlie needs an op on her jaw), baking on Friday and the long journey home yesterday! I look forward now to doing nothing for days and days and weeks and months and years (well you get what I mean).

So now I'm back at home and enjoying being back!

Let's hope my next 5 day trip is somewhere more exotic like Cannes or Morocco.

I wish...

Btw has anyone noticed how lovely the weather is!! Spring is finally here!! Yay!!

Wow I am completely shattered!!

So not much has changed...

Today I went to London with my parents and my Nanny M who I haven't seen since Christmas!

We all headed to Covent Garden which is probably one of my favourite places to walk around, I always feel like I'm in a costume drama with the buildings and the classical music that is always playing. I am obsessed with classical music and opera it's two of my great loves and today for the first time I went in to The Royal Opera House, I literally died (well not literally) I didn't want to go in at first I was too scared but I'm so glad I went in it felt like home. I was treated to 3 posters Cenerentola, Don Giovanni and Un Ballo In Maschera also Vittorio Grigolo - Arrivederci CD and a Royal Opera House pen. Later that day I also got Jonas Kaufmann - Verismo Arias CD I just love him and his voice.

I never realised how good Convent Garden is for shopping they even have an Urban Outfitters and American Apparel up there and I had no idea!! I definitely think my shopping trips will be taking place their rather then Oxford Street.

Now to the ensemble...

As usual this wasn't my first choice of outfit to wear I was planning on wearing all black and being very gothic but as usual with 5 minutes to go I changed my mind.

Now as you may know I never wear this much colour in one week let alone one outfit; so when this morning I grabbed my multi coloured shirt and pink jumper I suddenly remembered a post I saw on thisfashionismine, how Gwen had styled a denim shirt with a jumper over the top I decided to give it a go. It's definitely a look I will try again especially with this unpredictable weather.

As you can see I've stuck with my usual accomplices, my faithful Warehouse Ponte trousers the loves of my life and my feet did die while wearing these shoes (my feet are crying).

Now it's my turn to cry as my IPod has decided to play up!!

Unfair...
