Summer Brights

Wallis top, Primark skirt, Dune wedges c/o Sarenza

Summer’s arrival meant Monday I wanted to wear bright colours. Actually, I wore two outfits on Monday (the other to be shown tomorrow) and that was also a bit on the bright side.
This skirt was a £5 Primark bargain, a true impulse buy that will probably be a bit of a wardrobe staple. The top was pinched from my mother’s wardrobe (love her!) and the whole lot was finished off with my favourite wedges.

Mid-week already. Thank goodness. I am in full holiday count down mode and in an oddly/constantly chirpy mood. I’ve been doing a lot of phlebotomy shifts over the last couple of weeks and I am well on my way to getting another skill/qualification under my belt. For someone who wanted to work in Journalism, I am still in shock at how well I’ve taken to clinical work! It’s now my ambition to become a fully qualified Health Care Assistant and I am putting thought in to spending 2014 working abroad. There is something very satisfying about working with patients on a one-to-one basis, reception work is also enjoyable but with it comes a lot of abuse and hassle.

Are you working in your chosen field, or has your dream changed as time’s gone on? Has anyone done a year working abroad? Tips and advise welcome!

Thought this was worth a watch for a bit of interesting evening viewing.
Hope everyone is enjoying this gorgeous sunshine!

H&M dress (last years, about £8 I think), Clarks sandals c/o Sarenza, New Look necklace.

How cute is my little explorer? I can’t stop snapping photos of her! We’ve finally been able to get rid of her litter tray…the next challenge is the bloody cat flap *sigh*

Love these super flat Clarks sandals that remind me of the summer shoes I had when I was growing up. I swear you cannot beat a super flat leather sandal for everyday summer wearing.

The necklace was a gift from a friend who knows me too well.

Congratulations to Amanda, winner of the Experience Day giveaway…I hope you enjoy your Zorbing if that’s what you decide to do!

What were your childhood sandals like? How is your week shaping up?

Daisy Chain Dreaming: Evening Wear at Goddiva

In my little dream world I have a social life, one that requires glitzy dresses and a non-stop excuse to dress up in evening dresses,
enter Goddiva and their selection that are allowing me to virtually live out my dream!

My top picks include the fierce studded shift dress, a bargain at £38! And from the slightly more expensive Luxe range I have my eye on the pretty in pastel crochet strapless dress (£65) and the twenties inspired Gold and Glitzy flapper dresses (£85 for the blue, £88 for the white/gold)

Whilst your there, you may as well check out the epic Summer Sale too, with up to 70% off, there are bargains to be had…

Which dress is your favourite? Where do you shop for evening wear?

(Anyone else a total social-phobe like me?!)

Sarenza Shoe of the Week

The sun is out and that has totally influenced my pick of the week from Sarenza; how fabulous are the Winonna by Steve Madden wedges? They cost £84.99 and I dare say are worth every penny…you can’t put a price on cheerful feet!

What’s your favourite summer footwear?
