The Yesterday

Firstly, sorry for the splurge of posts yesterday, ever get one of those days where you just have too many ideas in your head to save for later? Yeah. With my memory it's best to get them all out at once!

Wasn't yesterday gorgeous (UK'ers at least?), I couldn't help but be cheered...even work didn't deter my enthusiasm for the weather, my desk gets the morning sun and with the window open I could have been outside.
Walking home, no coat on and bare arms was the most delightful feeling.

Anyway, enough waxing lyrical about the weather; I am a true Brit! Here's what I wore.

You can't really see but the tights are patterned on the front and block black on the back (thanks Hannah!)

Accessorised with Timex watch (ugh to the time!) and Ruby Rae Love bracelet

And my all-time favourite necklace from Go Jewellery

And lastly,
now I know Matt has received his fiver challenge parcel, here is what I made.

Lucy Jay

Spring is the time for colour, after the mundane dullness of the Winter months. Accessories are the perfect way to ease yourself in, and these amazing scarves by designer Lucy Jay are quite simply, awesome.

I love how Lucy encourages creativeness when wearing her scarves, from tops to woven through this seasons braids, anything goes. I'm wondering how many different ways we could come up with? Maybe one day I can experiment!

05.03 new things

Happy Friday! We've made it through to another weekend! Who has exciting plans? I'm off work tomorrow so will be indulging in a little retail therapy with my Mum; fingers crossed the sunshiney but cold weather will hold. I so cannot wait for the temperature to start rising.


This will be one of my last non outfit posts, though I'll probably try and do more of this type of thing rather than keep posting photos of myself.
I thought I'd show you some recent buys and favourite things.

Dresses! As you can see, I'm still loving florals. Both floral dresses are from New Look and both cost £12. The grey based one is my purchase I mentioned the other day. I can't wait to wear them.
The cream dress in the middle is vintage and absoultley gorgeous, it is also really versatile as it can be worn in many ways. This came from a giveaway hosted by the wonderful platform princess who is a real sweetheart, so do go and check out her blog.

I'm really starting to get more in to accessories lately. I'm a bit hopeless at remembering to put jewellery and such on when I get ready but I am making a concious effort to change that. Most of these treasures came via a group of lovely ladies, who should know who they are ;)

And these are my current favourite nail polishes. Buying them has become a bit of an addiction of mine, although I am trying to be good and not spend any more on them for a while.

Have a fabulous last day of the week
