new favourite maxi and new things

Hello, Happy Thursday, I hope it has been a great week for you so far! Early-ish update from me today as I've just got back from voting and have endless hours ahead of me to fill now.

This isn't an outfit post, as such, as I'm not wearing this dress today and I didn't wear it yesterday, either. I just wanted to show it off basically because it is my new favourite maxi dress! Sent to me by the gorgeous Char as part of an epic Birthday parcel.

Stripes + the perfect amount of over-sized slouch...what isn't to love?! Of course it'll be better when I can fill it out properly, and when we have more maxi appropriate weather!







I also wanted to share a couple of treats I bought myself (I swear retail therapy should come on the NHS!)



Yet another floral dress, from New Look, £10 in the sale.



OPI Shrek Forever Nail Polish in Rumples Wiggin, I don't think this is available in the UK yet, I ordered mine from a USA ebay seller.

I still have several new pieces of clothing to share with you from Saturday's shopping trip but they will be shown when I actually wear them!

Well, I'm off to find something to do with my day. I'm a ball of nervous energy right now as I have a tour of the hospital unit I'll be admitted to when a bed comes up, tomorrow, and I am scared.
Good luck vibes appreciated...and hopes that I don't have to wait too much longer.

Much love

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
