perfect remedy



So, you know how Wednesday was re-named the day from hell? Thursday was the most perfect remedy. The weather gods smiled on Becca and I and we ventured over to a town near me to explore (well, it was new to Becca). Ignoring the fact I got us super lost on the way home; NEVER expect me to be able to locate anywhere, no matter how many times I have been! It was awesome.

We shall here-by be known as the “2p slot machine queens”. Fact.

Outfit wise, I pulled out my trusty converse and velvet shorts and teamed them with a rabbit print tee from Uniqlo

I WAS going to be really brave and go bare legged, but for June…it’s bloody baltic out there!
So tights it was.

Other than winning our fortune, other highlights included Becca getting told off in the arcade, finding Fanta icy lemon Zero and me teaching Becca how to pose like a blogger!

…back to reality for a day now, before the fun starts all over again; sleepover included!

I threw aside my notion of colour blocking and team my Apex with my fruit print dress…

The other girls are truly rocking it, and I don’t fancy my chances much, but if you feel like voting for me, do feel free!
If I win, there will be 12 Filofax Apex files winging their way to adaisychaindream readers!

First things first; the winner of the Bijoux Dolly giveaway is…Daisy!
Congratulations lovely, I’ll arrange your prize asap x

The title of this post refers to the dress I’m wearing. A dress that is ohhhh…about four years old now? One of those *cult* buys from Primark back in the day! I don’t wear it often, because it is a pain to iron so tends to get rejected to the bottom of the pile each time…so every so often it’s like finding a new dress all over again!
Anyway,
moral of the story is be less lazy. It makes an ideal dress for work.

Shoes and Lipstick.

HUGE big thank you to everyone who offered love and support through my day from hell yesterday on twitter and facebook! I feel like a moany brat now, but at the time I needed to vent!
*mwah*
today WILL be better. No work. Beautiful Becca’s Birthday. No rain.

Perfect.

Stay calm folks; we’re almost at the weekend xx

days off.

Tuesday are usually my day off. Sometimes I have to work, but generally it is the only day that I have entirely at my disposal.

It is perfect for jeans, blouse and bare feet.

I have a love hate relationship with these jeans; a size bigger than usual AND they feel tight. Sort it out clothes shops. I am also having a love hate relationship with my camera right now. It is only a basic point and shoot, but surely it should produce better photos with this with some tweaking?!

((Or sort it out Laura))

Some Tuesdays I go shopping. Usually with Mum. Other Tuesdays I stay in. Today was a doing day. Wardrobe clearings, shoe organisation, general stuff like that.

Other favourite ways to spend days off include spending all day reading, baking cakes and treats or planning a proper day out with friends!

Days off,
how do you spend yours?

Monday saw the debut of another new wardobe arrival; shopping problem? What shopping problem?

Browsing on the New Look website for some summer cardigans; which are yet to be worn due to good old British weather, I got distracted by the sale. And this skirt. £7.99 and suitable for work? Where do I sign?

I love the colour. And the shape. I’ve always over-looked shades of red before now, convinced they didn’t suit me…at least…not on anywhere but my hair, or on my feet in the form of shoes. I’ve just opened a whole new window of colour spectrum shopping.

I wonder how much he’d fetch on ebay?

Day off today…hurrah!
