 Friday! It’s taken it’s sweet time getting here this week, I can tell you! I’m guessing there is something in the water as work has been utter madness, beyond what it usually is…wow. Good thing I love my job!
This is what I wore for Thursday; River Island skirt, Peacocks tee and Poetic License shoes. The morning was so stressful that I was forced to pop down to Boots on my lunch break and pick up the new 17 range BB cream and two of the metallic cream eyeshadows. Oh, cruel world.

My week was brightened by the lovely Ashley at Cutey.co.uk sending me this gorgeous charm bracelet for consideration on the blog. Previously un-aware of the website, it’s now bookmarked in my favourites ready for a spot of Christmas shopping. The bracelet is lovely, my only complaint being the catch being really fiddly, and the prices are ACE at £12.99 for this style of bracelet (and a whole selection to choose from, to suit all tastes). What I really like is that they come in two sizes- 18cm and 20cm which eases the worry of it being too big, or too small for the person your buying for.

Well, given that it’s just gone 6am and this girl needs breakfast before work, the only thing left to do is wish everyone a SUPER HAPPY FRIDAY. Have a good one! xxx

Matalan Christmas vox pops

off duty

I love my Tuesday days off, the perfect way to recover from a Monday; and then I have my three busier days at work and BAM! Weekend is here.

Yesterday was particularly lovely. Wearing a maxi dress from Next and New Look boots. I baked some spiced pumpkin raisins muffins as a treat for my grandparents, spent time pottering in the perfect winter weather (why can’t all winter be that nice?), had a productive appointment and cooked a delicious dinner- Harissa spiced tomato and chickpea stew; up until yesterday I didn’t know what harissa was…now I do..it’s HOT!

I also enjoyed spending my Sarenza voucher prize, I split half of it between my Parents, my brother and his girlfriend and spent the other half myself. Exciting times.

Work today, Wednesdays are one of our better days, steady without the madness of either an impending, or just departed weekend. And then tonight I’m going to a chocolate party.

So far this week is good! How about yours?

There is not much to say about Monday, other than the HUGEST, GREATEST, BIGGEST thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for me in the Sarenza competition. I found out yesterday that I won…and well, I couldn’t be happier!

A Missguided Obsession

When the gorgeous Sara at Missguided e-mailed me to alert me of their stunning debut TV ad I was prompted to take a look at the latest offerings from the online shop.

Previously when I’ve browsed there, I’ve found maybe one or two things I’ve liked…but right now, damn. Missguided are killing it. Just a brief selection of things I covet…

All at prices that make it ever more tempting!

As for the TV ad…well, simply stunning, I think!

Anyone else a Missguided fan? What have you bought there lately, or what do you plan to buy?
