Live for the (long weekend)

The best thing about the impending Royal Nuptials? The two day work week! Wahey...Tuesdays are my day off, so I only have to be in Wednesday and Thursday. Unfortunately we have a new system launch on Thursday, which is also my birthday and we're going to be working flat out to provide our usual standard of service, so there won't be much celebrating going on (8am start, 6/7pm finish, no thanks!)...however, the next day being "that" day means I have have belated celebrations with the people that matter most; and maybe crash a few street parties!

Anyhow, I'm getting ahead of myself. First we need to finish this long weekend, and it will be done in chilled out lazy style.
Yesterday I barely moved off my ass, which was hugely satisfying. Today I predict more of the same, perhaps interjected with a trip to Tesco for essentials; girl cannot live on Easter goods alone (as much as she'd like to try)

Easter Haul!



Sadly that bag did not hold the Prestat egg of my dreams, but it did contain sweets and eggs of the miniature variety!



For the first time in years I was willing and able to take part in some Easter eating



(little steps Laura, little steps)

And cover my blisters in truly epic plasters



I'll be 24 going on 4.

Today I've ditched the floral dresses for my "jazzy trousers"







For all you Haviana fangirls out there, I'm A CONVERT. My feet are so grateful



((I hate feet))

I leave you with cuteness



And wishes for an awesome extra day off

Dear Uk, please start selling Peeps. I LOVE the marshmallow good/badness.

This weekend has been glorious...hot, happy inducing summer sunshine; I could get used to this! It's made all the more sweet by actually being able to appreciate and enjoy it all this year, rather than it passing me by in some kind of blur.

Outfits have involved the obligatory floaty florals.

Saturday; Primark maxi skirt and cardi thing. Staple £1.99 New Look vest that I now own in five colours.







I saw this from my window Saturday morning. I'm so excited for Bristol Balloon Fiesta and actually being able to go this year, I love hot air balloons and the night glow is generally amazing!

Easter outfit; Vintage dress from ebay. Tights which were abandoned for bare legs and sandals that shredded my feet despite usually being my comfy shoes.







Are you loving this weather? WEAR SUNSCREEN!

What did the Easter Bunny bring you?

*votey for me here, please*

Midi Ground

Firstly, WOAH, thank you so much for all the votes on the Matalan Style Project so far! If you haven't voted yet and fancy popping on over then do feel free!


Now, this is yesterdays outfit. The dress is Primark; expensive Primark at that. I don't think I've ever paid £15 for a dress in there before, but there is something quite balletic about it and I love the midi length, so I parted with my hard won cash.







Had this dress cost £15 elsewhere I wouldn't have hesitated on snapping it up, even for a second...most likely deeming it a bargain,
but that price in Primark? I found myself shaking my head and muttering "bloody inflation/rip offs/I'm such a cheapskate" under my breath as I made my way to the till.

Are you the same? Do you have an "acceptable limit" when it comes to certain shops?

P.S. Happy Good Friday,
I hope everyone enjoys the day off AND the sunshine!

Top to Toe- I need your vote!

Everything I'm wearing in this outfit, bar the tights is from Matalan...The reason being I'm taking part in the Matalan Style Project competition, with a floral theme!









I've discovered I'm rather a fan of hats!



Thank you to Matalan for allowing me to pick these pieces.

Want to see me WIN this contest?

Manic Monday

Oh there is something in the air today, this morning at work has been MAD and I'm going back for more, shortly.

Outfit today involves polka dots and peter pan collars...a winning combination in my book!





(why yes, I have had my hair chopped off...Mum got sick enough of it and my hairdresser phobia to take four inches off yesterday!)

I'm pleased to announce the winner of the Pixie Knitwear giveaway IS Becca (who doesn't blog...yet...)

Congratulations Becca and thank you to everyone that took part
