Loving bank holiday!!! An extra lie in.. what's not to love??? 1.What do you think of these nails?? I am trialling them for my wedding, as I will be away for 9 days before we get married so acrylic would not be any good as I am way to heavy handed. These were just £1.99 from home bargains, some little stick on ones! Took 5 minutes to do and dried almost instantly. I think they look alright to be honest. 2. Experimenting with a new app I have downloaded on my trustworthy iPhone called 'Pixlromatic'. Anouska  tweeted about it and just had to download it after seeing her pics using it! So many wicked effects. 3. Lovely ham bagels for breakfast (only on bank hols) LUSH!! 4. You have to meet Harvey.... my new nephew!!! How cute is he seriously!!! Just want to munch him. 5. Me and the Tillpop had a chilled girls night in which was much needed. Watched Sex and the City movie. 6. Love these brogues so much. Good old Primarni! BARGAIN at £8 in t...

Managed to pick some some bargains recently. I got a lovely over sized cardigan/shawl from Primark for just £12, I just love the tassels!!! Also picked up the maxi dress for just £15 at a local shop called Ellie Louise, I can't wait to add some turquoise and vintage jewellery to it and a chunky cardi!!! I love the tribal print on he bottom of it. These beautiful skinny belts were £2 from Primark for all 3!!!!! The brown one even has little gold studs on it further along. How nice are these Victorian style boots, £3.99 from PDSA charity shop!!! They are a size too big but loved them that much I will wear them anyway. I am thinking of wearing them with socks... what do you think? This has to be my fave bargain of the moment. Gorgeous necklace and the charms are: 2 leaves one big one smaller, 2 coins, an owl, turquoise bead and feather!!! Perfect and at only £2 from Primark!!! I am on a bargain roll at the minute. But the shopping has to stop as I h...

                      Can you believe that ALL these dresses are from Topshop !!! All of them. Aren't they gorgeous, I want them all!! My fave has got to be second row middle and far right. Beautiful. I hope you are all OK and had a wonderful weekend. My lovely friends have been checking in on me today. Love them all, they are so good to me. Tilly has been playing up all day, just wouldn't listen to me, then Auntie Hayley comes round and she falls to sleep on her, TYPICAL!!!! As soon as Hayley went she started again. What can you do ay? I am totally hooked on lookbook if you hadn't already noticed. Still no pics, sorry guys. Want to trim up first, even though I say that to myself every morning it doesn't ever seem to kick start. oopppsssss... lookbook pic of the day:  This is so cute. The hat is so lady like and the wedges are beautiful. This look sums up summer completely. This one of my fave looks ever! This lady i...

I want this skirt!!! Its so hard for me to find maxi skirts as I'm so short. My mom normally takes them up for me. I love the pattern of this skirt. The sunnies and hairband set this look off perfectly. Click on the pic to go to her lookbook page.     My findings for the look above. Pictures contain links, so get clicking. Beautiful Chimenea Bought the other half this gorgeous little chimenea for the garden as it's his birthday next week. It's lovely, didn't take long to put together and looks perfect in out garden. Will keep us and ours friends nice and toasting on these mild evenings. Can't wait to put it to the test this evening. We have been trying to train Tilly which is proving quite successful. She will now sit before you give her a treat and is starting to respond the 'No' when she is being naughty. So fingers crossed. Song of the day is, Katy B 'Broken Record'. I know it's a bit on the chav side but it's my guilty ...

I have got to say I am really liking a lot of Republic's new stuff at the moment. A few of my faves are below: I think my absolute fave is the mustard peter pan collar dress and the trilby. Florals are back with attitude so some of these are perfect for this season. Think they are ace. The price is sooo reasonable as well. How similar is the coral blouse to the one I posted on my previous post from Topshop... a lot cheaper as well!! Just had to share my discovery. Watched 'Riches to Rags' again this week. Love Lily's London apartment the roof terrace was amazing. Its my dream to live in London city I would actually cry if I ever got the opportunity.  Over the last week I had realised my taste in interior design has completely changed... like completely changed. I used to love modern, minimalistic, clean cut edges and bright and clean colours. Now I am into the whole vintage look and Laura Ashley prints and things that don't match and carpet cushions....

Had an awesome day yesterday... Hayley  and Jen dragged me out of the house to join them for a drink in a trendy beer garden. One Aspell's Cider led to four... so ended up leaving my car behind. We then randomly ended up going for a curry. Was such a random day but was amazing just to be with a couple of the girls having a giggle about girlie things. We NEED to do it more often. It's just what the doctor ordered. We need to make the most of this lovely sun we have been blessed with. Thanks girlie's .... love ya <3. Loving this look today: http://lookbook.nu/#more I wish my hair was long so I could do a fishtail plait... it looks amazing. Think the loose mustard blouse is a really good contrast to the shorts. Glasses and ring are brill too. These are just a few items I am hyping at the moment from Topshop. I think I have got some saving to do. Tilly is still growing she has had a good play in my moms garden today. She had so much fun. She has just woken up a...

My two very good friends came over to see me today, as was feeling a bit crap. It was great just to have them round and have a catch up/ gossip. They had their wine on the go and I had my summer fruits squash... was brill. Really cheered me up. Need to do those kind of things much more often, doesn't cost anything either, apart from a tea bag and a splash of milk! Hayley , one of the two mates that came round looked wicked by the way, vintage Levi shorts with shirt tucked in with chunky knit cardie and army boots!!!!! loved it.  V jealous of the outfit.   Just like my mates shorts.... too awesome! (from Google Images) My mom has made a movable make shift fence for the garden, so we can block part of it off so we don't loose Tilly. Works wonders. She has been out there most the day all by herself. Shes growing up so fast. Bless my mom she really looks after me. What about the Spice babies on the way. Mel B has just announced she has a sprog on the way too. We...
