Happy birthday to me...

Wow I've been a terrible blogger recently, just been SO busy! Here's just a quick one to keep you going...


It was my birthday last week and I popped into Birmingham with my Mum and Dad to try and get my birthday present. I didn't really get much (don't know where my shopping mojo was that day!) but I will do a bit of a collective haul to show you what I did purchase over the weekend if I get chance!


I just threw on my trusty New Look denim shorts and Urban Outfitters cross top and of course my white converse...got to be comfy on your birthday!!

Me and the girls went out in Leicester on Saturday to celebrate me being old, and also as an excuse to show off my new 'plum' hair. I was a bit shocked at how dark it looked on my hair considering I'd seen a lot of other people dye their hair the exact same colour and looked so much lighter. I've not had chance to get a decent picture in natural light yet but I'll try and get one before it fades too much!

Whole outfit: Miss Selfridge

Wedges: New look

Jewellery: Everywhere!

Oh yeah and I popped out last night to see one of my friends who'd come back from uni for a few days....unfortunately my fat bum split my original choice of skirt so I threw on an old Topshop body con skirt with my H&M leather jacket, and Primark bow tights/over the knee sock combo...

Again, sorry I've been so rubbish! Hope you're all well!

Pack your bags...

What a hectic few days I'm about to have! It's my best friends birthday today so we're all off to a hotel in Leicester (mainly for ease of stumbling back to bed at who knows what time in the morning) then off for a Nando's then to get merry in a ladylike way (NOT!!)

I've been very methodical about this bag packing malarky (terrified of forgetting something) and laid it all out on my bed....

I'm wearing my new Lipsy playsuit (as if I bought something from there!!? Don't tell anyone, I'm ashamed, but I do love this little beauty!) and my New Look wedges which are so low for me! I'm going to feel like a midget! Then just standard dark tan, huge hair (new extensions.....exciting!!) and big lashes/bright lipstick. 

Hope you all have lots of exciting plans for the bank holiday!

End of an era...

I have to say, I'm not feeling particularly cheerful today :(

It was my last shift at Office and, as much as I can't wait to have my weekends back and be able to go out and get horribly drunk on a Saturday and not worry about work the next day, I will miss it sooo much (and no, not just the discount!)

So anyway to make myself feel better, I used up my last discount on a pair of beautiful shoes, as well as some that have just gone in the sale!

The first ones are these wedges which I've heard from some of the girls from work who have bought them that they are PAINFUL but I thought I'd give them a go, and because they were on promotion and not sale I could use my discount as well so I got them for less than £30!! (sorry one picture with flash one without lol).

I also bought these brogues which I've wanted FOREVER! Mums got them in cream and also in grey, but it was, of course, the coral one's I've had my eyes on! You've probably seen these all over the magazines in the past couple of months, I know I've seen Pixie Lott photographed wearing hers loads just recently.

So that's the end of my time at Office :( I know I'm going to regret leaving but I just wanted to go back to working 5 days a week instead of 6!

Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend :)

Bank Holiday Pt 1....

Has been just as I'd anticipated. Messy.

Thursday at work I wore my H&M shorts with my new Primark top and shoes. I absolutely had to get this top it was SO cute!

Thursday night was full of wine, vodka and lots of laughs with the girls:

(l-r) Steph had her new Forever 21 dress on with tan shoes from Evans and a belt borrowed from yours truly. Kellie had wedges from New Look (her dancing shoes apparently) and flowery shorts from H&M (short envy). Sarah had her new dress from Zara she bought in Birmingham, and her gorgeous mary jane heels from New Look. I wore my River Island flowery skirt and 3 year old River Island wooden heels that are still going strong today!

On Friday I went into Leicester shopping with mum and dad, and went out for dinner (I'll be honest with you, I only went for the free food!!) I did buy a new handbag but that's only because I didn't have a bag to go with the above outfit so I went straight to River Island to buy a new one (disappointingly didn't have one I liked so ended up in H&M for a HUGE tan number that I'm a bit in love with for the bargain of £25!!) 

Anyway I wore a maxi dress from Primark, tan sandals from New Look and a plaited tan belt that Mum had free on a pair of trousers!! I went a bit over board on bangles that are all a mixture of Primark and New Look, and my feather earings from Topshop. The sunglasses were from a random show in New York that I LOVE! Absolutely classic shape, will never date. 

On Friday night I went to a party with Steph but kept is casual with my new Jeggings from Zara, a white crop from Topshop, and my amazing coral wedges from New Look (thought I'd test drive them on a night where I didn't have to be up all night dancing, and I have to say they were a success!!)

Got it all again tonight as well....another night in HTC with Steph...now what to wear....

You know those weekends....

...where everything is perfect? The girls are back from uni, all the boys were out in Leicester on Saturday in Office looking tasty, the suns shining, far too much rose was consumed and just generally a beautiful weekend.

In fact the sun's been shining for a week nearly now..... here's a few random outfits from work last week....

Crop: H&M sale

Trousers: Oasis (far too big for me now I've finally become a skinny minnie but I love them too much to part with them)

Brogues: Office

Shirt: Primark

Belt: Primark

Jewellery: Primark/ River Island/ New Look

Wedges: New Look

I went out with the girls last night but not got the pictures from that yet but I'll get them on when I do. I was going to wear the coral dress I posted on here a while ago but I didn't feel right in it when it came to going out so went for denim high waisted shorts with a Topshop vest tucked in and over the knee black socks. 

Had the day off today, so made the most of the gorgeous sunshine and walked into town to meet Steph for a costa, and we had a wander around Boots and The Works (lipstick, nail varnish, and some new books!)

Nail Varnish: 17 Supreme Shine in Simply Pink. Really pale colour but quite nice for the summer so I can give my poor nails a break from black and purple! 

Lipstick: 17 in Hot Chilli....amazing colour as you can see from the pictures underneath. 

Mum and Dad took me out for a Nando's too, which I will never complain about. Still so warm so went for my Topshop mustard jumper I got in the sale over leggings, and my new New Look wedges. Of course, the new lipstick made an appearance!

Sorry I look so rough, my hair was a state after last night (bit too much Tresemme freeze hold and back combing) and my skin looks terrible. Bit of a detox this week I think!) 

Sunshine makes the world go round....

What a beautiful day!! I got out last years Primark sun dress and had LOADS of complements on it!

Hair in a topknot just because it was a lot easier, but thought it worked well with the dress.

Treated myself to some new wedges (the sun makes me want to buy wedges don't know why?!) and some feather earings, all in my new fave colour: coral! Can't get enough of it atm, might even go paint my nails coral tonight actually! 

Shoes and earings are both New Look, £20 for the wedges and £3 for the earings. Hope this sunshine stays out so I get a chance to wear them soon!

Also, song of the day is, without a shadow of a doubt, this:

 Mainly because it is JUST how I feel right now, it was the perfect soundtrack for driving home with my shades on with the window down. Boys are shit. Fact.
