Clouds filled with Stars cover the Skies

This week has flown by! I cannot believe it is nearly March! It'll be Summer before we know it!

Yesterday was the first time I stepped out the hosue without a coat... it was chucking it down with rain but rather warm! This outfit is a bit of a different style to what I normally wear, but I was "shopping my closet" and came up with this ensemble:

Shirt: New Look

Belt: New Look

Skirt: Miss Selfridge

 Jacket: Primark

Bag: Cath Kidson

Teapot and cup necklace: Primark

I've got a half day at work tomorrow and am off on Tuesday due to the boy having an important assessment tomorrow! I had my equilivant one last May and it's a culmanation of 2 years of hard work so it's definately a cause for celebration!

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond

1) I was going to do an outfit post yesterday, but my camera battery died as soon as I started! I'm in no position to take photos today so i'm afraid you're left with a text heavy post!

2) It's PAYDAY on Friday! Thank goodness! Although this month has been short, I paid back some IOUs this paycheque, so although I've been really good this month I'm still counting down to pay day! First thing to buy will be a box of hair dye- i'm going to go redder!

3) This week I'm going out for dinner and drinks with two great friends which was originally planned for over a month ago! I'm very much looking forward to it! Then on Saturday we're going out with friends for really yummy posh Chinese, can't wait!

4) Work is going well although this week is going to be busy! Thinking I should motivate myself to do some portfolio work in my lunch break and after work!

5) I've started a new medication for my tension headaches, which I hope will really help in the long run, but atm is making me super drowsy and sleepy- I've fallen asleep on the sofa and had a nap!

6) I've been browsing websites for nice clothes but nothing is really catching my eye at the moment! Hopefully once Spring has really sprung and I can properly ditch the coat and thick tights, more floaty dresses and thin knits will appeal a bit more!

L O V E

I have a secret. I rather like Valentine's Day. This might be because I'm in a relationship. But as someone whose favourite colours include pink and red, its hard not to like a holiday where there are pretty things everywhere in pink and red.

It also provides the perfect excuse to...

...wear super girly tights...

...drink yummy, cheap pink fizz...

...buy novely confetti and sprinkle it everywhere...

 ...wear pretty red headbands with bows

Hope you have a good V-day!

Yours is the only version of my desertion that I could ever subscribe to

I've had a lovely lazy weekend.  Last night I went out with some people from work for the first time and I had a really good night! I've gone to the shop and spent within budget (really trying to address finances!), played Left for Dead 2 with H, and am now trying to summon some energy to do some portfolio work!

Little outfit post of what I wore yesterday. Please excuse the lazy weekend hair! I played around a bit in photoshop but I think they look a little overdone!

 

 Dress- H&M last summer

Belt- New look

Of course I didn't realise how windy it was yesterday until I went outside in this outfit- I had to walk with my arms clamped to my side to avoid giving everyone an eye-full!

This Is Me

This morning I stumbled upon a campaign from British Style Bloggers called Nature Made Us Beautiful. The campaign is about the portrayal of women in the media, which emphasis on the overuse of airbrushing.

From their website: "We are a campaign to diversify the media’s representation of women. We want you to look in the mirror and love what you see, based on your views, and not what magazines say."

They have started a blogger challenge to accompany this theme, and this one is titled "This is me". The challenge is to produce a collage that reflects who you are. Below is mine!

Now to explain! Red polka dots as I have an unhealthy obsession with polka dots, and I love red; red lips as its a favourite make-up look of mine; couple kissing as I believe in love and am happily settled myself; picture of me as "this is me"!; lovely pretty dress from viven of holloway; vodka, my favourite spirirt; cocktail as I love them!; Silent Hill image as i'm a huge horror film fan and Silent Hill is one of my favourite films; coffee as I am becoming a real coffee fiend; blood bag as i'm working in the blood bank at the moment and i'm finding it fascinating; and kittens because I love cats!

What makes you you?
