Taking very rushed outfit photos in the mornings before work. The 'why must you blink every time I press the shutter down?' 8am showdown just doesn't get old. Oh wait, it does!
(Dress - Topshop, Jumper and Shoes - charity shop)
(Dress - New Look sale, cardi - charity shop)
(Clarks loafers - charity shop, Frostbitten Ankles - model's own... definitely too cold to have anything exposed at the mo!)
Spending the weekend by the sea, visiting friends, family and charity shops. I painted my nails using Models Own Peacock Green on the train there. It's beautiful and has barely chipped after 4 days wear and NO topcoat! My phone's cam didn't really capture the shimmer, but luckily Google has better pictures of it.
My outfit for our very cold mooch round the charity shops on Saturday:
(Jumper - c/o Tesco, Dress - H&M)
Sunday morning wanderings round Brighton with our pals:
It's a pineapple shaped flask and cup set!!
Danielle snooping out a bargain...
We met this chilly little chappy! Aww, he melted my heart. Can anyone tell me what breed this guy is? I want one.
Beyond Retro. Literally.
As if this boy needs ANY MORE damn t-shirts. A new one arrives in the post almost every week! Usually with Morrissey's face on it. Should I be worried?
A visit to Bill's to scope out the bloody overpriced lovingly handmade culinary delights...
Then it was home time, where we had to catch 2 trains and a replacement bus to get home. It took over 3 hours! To cheer ourselves up, we put all of our christmas decorations up in the lounge :D
Cute DIY tin lanterns are all around!
Our adorable russian doll-style festive friends from the Paperchase sale in January!
In other news, I've been working heaps but am looking forward to our trip to Aberdeen on Thursday (home on Monday night). Going to try and keep on top of blogging while I'm there as I have so many cool tips to share but cannot for the life of me find the time to photograph and blog them at the minute!
Ooh, and while I'm here, I must tell you about the insane deal on in Boots at the moment which I've asked Alex to buy me for christmas. You get ALL THIS No7 gear for £30. I reviewed the face creams on the blog before and haven't been able to afford to buy any more. The day and night cream are over £20 each as it is, so to get all this stuff for £30 is too good to pass up! Totally eyeing this one up for mum's christmas prezzie, too!
Speak soon, meine lieblings!

THE CAT SWEATER. SO AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteHOW DOES YOUR HOUSE ALWAYS LOOK SO TIDY? We're through the door and 1 minute later it's a bomb site. You need to tell me how you do it. Also I think I'm gunna live off Heinz for a while so can make loads of those INSANELY cute tin tea light holders. Maybe they'll warm me up in these freezing times ! Molly xo
ReplyDeletep.s looooove your leopard print door matt !
Love your charity shopping outfit :) The dog is a border terrier, I take my puppy to training and there is a lady there who has a little border terrier pup there and she is gorgeous, Riley is much more interested in her than learning to sit or come when I call him! :) xx

ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice time in Brighton... did you check the wheel out? Apparently it was closed because of the wind! which doesn't sound safe... Bills is a little overpriced I agree!
