Have a Great Weekend.

What are you all up to this weekend? I am so busy, I literally don't know where to start. I will be baking these, making these and these, for my best friends baby shower. I've been on a week long mission to try and find confetti sprinkles - as of yet, no luck - take note Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury. Then I shall be busy blogging and writing. In the meantime why don't you check out some of my favourite posts from this week.

Lazy Days

{Xmas candles}

I'v been pretty lazy this weekend and only ventured out for some food and a diet coke or 2. Sometimes it's good to do absolutely nothing and just recharge.

House Arrest

Just when I thought I was feeling 100%, I got ill again. To say i'm annoyed is an understatement. Bank holiday was ruined and all plans cancelled, only to be spent in bed sleeping and watching rubbish TV.

Hope you're all enjoying your bank holiday.

It's a lingerie thing!

Hope you all had a fab weekend - mine was amazing. I will be telling you all about that in the next few days, but I'm in a rush to get to work, so will be a quick post.

I bought this bra a few weeks ago from Matalan, to go under baggy tees and vest tops - to make it all look a bit more girly (see here) and not so trampy. I am quite impressed with their lingerie range as a whole. Girly pieces and something to suit everyone. I love this floral lace print bandeau.

Also a little bit of news - For the month of July, I will be blogging for the Republic blog - Wear it your way. You can check it out here.

Happy 4th of July to all of those celebrating!

Step into Spring: Part 3

I usually stay away from mid length skirts, due to the fact that I am 5'2" and the skirt lands on the most unflattering part of my leg - completely chopping it off and making me look stocky! However just because the skirt comes that length, doesn't mean I can't hitch it up by an inch. Here are a few that I currently have my eye on and would love to team them up with cropped tee's, blouses and sequins.

1. Topshop Pleated Calf Length Skirt £38

2. River Island Pink Floral Belted Skirt £29.99

3. Miss Selfridge Mid Length Skirt £22

4. Elizabeth and James Blouse £120

5. Topshop Crop Top £26

6. Topshop White Sequin Top £32

Mariel Clayton

If you follow me on Facebook (see here), you would have noticed that I love this photographers work. Her name is Mariel Clayton and as disturbing as this may sound, her photos absolutely crack me up!

Go and see for yourself and visit her website here.

Step into Spring: Part 2

As mentioned yesterday, the sun is shining and even though it is soooo cold, it is starting to feel like Spring is on it's way. I hope that its hurries up, as I cannot wait to wear all my new summery clothes or buy some newbies in the hope of a beach holiday. At the moment I am obsessed with colour blocking, I didn't take to it back in Spring/Summer 2009, but I am fully ready to embrace it this Summer. Reds, yellows, blues and most importantly pinks will be on wardrobe rotation throughout the next few months.

1. River Island Turquoise Stone Ring £12.99

2. DKNY Trousers £178

3. Miss Selfridge Sleeveless Drop Back Shirt £28 

4. Red or Dead Paloma Heels £75

5. Topshop Purple Zip Back Vest £28

6. Topshop Peg Leg Trousers £36

7. Ray Ban £108

8. Nails Inc Porchester Place £11

9. ASOS Flat Boxy Clutch £20

No Regrets

Image via WeHeartIt

Normally, I try not to regret anything, however, this just isn't always possible. I'm blaming it on a mid twenties crisis. Occasionally I think that my life isn't exactly where I wanted it to be, but then again, who's is? I wonder what if I had done this, or said yes instead of no, would I be in a different place right now? But hey ho, that's life, I don't have many and the ones that are listed are pretty minor in the grand scheme of things.

1. Passing up on a 50% off Marc by Marc Jacobs bag.

2. Not moving to LA, when I said that I would.

3. Giving up dancing.

4. Finishing singing lessons.

5. Not listening to my Mum - she really is always right.

6. Telling a white lie and someone found out.

7. Not following my heart

8. Leaving a dream job for a boy.

9. Believing everything that boy said (see 8)

10. Not buying those shoes.

Do you have any regrets?

Most Wanted - VoucherCodes

Last night I attended the Fashion Revolution Party - Most Wanted hosted by VoucherCodes. The event was at the Soho Hotel - where we were greeted with cocktails (shame I was driving). Loads of bloggers and friends turned up and we all had the chance to mess around with the photo booth that was provided (Super fun) wigs and hats and glasses were also near by. Canapes and cupcakes were never far away and what seemed like an endless amount of beverages being handed out. After we were fully fed and watered we then went to the screening room - popcorn and water in hand - to watch Marie Antoinette. Being the cinema geek that I am, I was surprised that this movie slipped my radar - it was brilliant - unfortunately I had to miss the end to get the last train home! Sigh! Blockbusters here I come!
VoucherCodes is a money saving website and for those who are not in the know - they bring together the best fashion discounts as well as exclusive offers, so go forth and shop.

Just what the doctor ordered

{Topshop shoes in the sale}

Window shopping at the weekend turned into me accidently buying 3 pairs of shoes, rings, jewellery, skirts and some other random bits and bobs. I had to stop myself and write some sort of wish list in my head, so that maybe one day I can own it all or just forget about it!

Sleeping Beauty

Image via WeHeartIt

• The first week back at work, after the holidays is always the worst! Not the work bit, or the going back to work bit, just the stupid mornings. I have never been a morning person - i'v tried and failed miserably. My friends never call me before midday, just incase I'm still in dream land or just annoyed with being awake in the morning. 
• Also trying to fit everything back into my normal routine has been near impossible. Which mainly just baffles me and are mornings darker than they were before? I think they might be.
• To add to that, as I no longer have my Iphone, I also no longer have my sleep app which wakes me up. I have had to resort to the worst sounding alarm ever, which needless to say has me waking up in a mood. There really is no hope for me! 
• So to cut a long story short, I shall be spending my weekend sleeping in until some stupid hour, maybe a spot of shopping and some girl chats.

What are your plans?

The Best of the Sales

I have to admit, I avoid the sales like the plague - unless it's the Topshop in Tunbridge Wells - BEST sales EVER! This year, due to a stupid sickness bug, that lasted the whole holidays, I didn't feel I could compete with all the other ladies out there. So in order to save some money and be sensible I hid my cash card and had a browse online. Zara was exceptionally good - I hate the in-store Zara sales. I can never find anything.

1. Ankle Boots - £59.99 - £29.99
2. Timber lace up boots - £55 - £28
3. Chelsea Girl Floppy Hat - £20 - £7
4. Premium Sequin Wrap Skirt - £85 - £30
5. Zip Zag Stud Bag - £90 - £45
6. Metal Armour Ring - £10 - £7
7. Heavy Metal Cuff - £16 - £8
