(brit)stitched

20th March 2013

Dress: Dorothy Perkins
Leggings: New Look
Boots: Jeffrey Campbell at Sarenza
Bag: c/o Brit-Stitch
Say hello to my most favourite bag ever (even more favourite than my beloved Marc by Marc Jacobs). It was bought in to my life courtesy of fledgling brand Brit-Stitch who only launched in December but, if this satchel is anything to go by are destined for greatness.
Currently Brit-Stitch don’t sell on their own website but they are stocked in an ever growing number of retailers including The Hut and Kuji Shop. There’s a bag for everyone, from the teeny tiny milkman style to the office satchel like mine in a whole rainbow of colours (mine is called Chintz Rose)
If you’re a bag lover and want to support a Great British Brand then watch this space. It won’t be long before everyone is talking about Brit-Stitch and you can follow their every movement on the brand’s facebook and twitter pages.
Take a little peek at the links I’ve provided, I’d love to hear what you think and which style you would go for.

daisy chain dreaming: neon shoes from Chockers

19th March 2013
I have a lot of love for these Neon Flash shoes from Chockers
at only £30 they are the perfect way to bring your feet in to the new season. I’m thinking they’d be perfect for the evenings on a beach holiday,
or to generally jazz up girly floral dresses and dark denim.
What do you think?
A bright bargain in my eyes!

Top: ebay
Skirt c/o Ax Paris
Tights c/o Tabio
Dr Martens via Sarenza
I never thought I’d buy in to yet another trend but this top from ebay was SUCH a bargain at under a fiver and so fun I couldn’t not get it. This outfit was a bit OTT for a simple Saturday but it was fun so I didn’t care much…I think I’ve got to the stage in life where I really don’t give a crap what other people think anymore, as long as I’m comfortable then all is good.
I’m glad I didn’t jinx myself wishing for a calmer week because if yesterday was anything to go by it really won’t be. I’ll be glad when the long Easter Weekend rolls around so I can have a breather…I wouldn’t change it for the world though, I’ve never been so happy with, or in love with life. I’ve started to think more seriously about what I want to do job wise in the future and have some pretty exciting options to explore, it won’t happen for a little while yet…I need to get driving sorted for one thing but it’s something to look forward to!
Well, I hope you lot had a calmer start to the week! At least the sun shone.

Monday Blues

18th March 2013

Dress c/o love struck
Boots: New Look
Back to earth with a bump this Monday after a lovely weekend. Technically I have nothing to grumble about as I don’t start work until 2pm but after such good times it’s hard not to feel a little disheartened.
It was one of those weekends that involved best friends, family and good food; every weekend should consist of those three vital ingredients in my opinion. My little cousin drove down to visit us from Birmingham and despite me being antisocial cow on Saturday, Sunday involved a wonderful carvery lunch (my first in, well, almost eleven years, yay recovery!) and time spent laughing and chatting.
This week I’m not even going to bother jinxing myself and hoping things will be quieter because they never are! I don’t have quite so much on as I did last week or the week before but life has a funny way of becoming chaotic when you least expect it!
Short and sweet post this morning, it’s early. I’m awake because my body thinks it’s working all day (and soon it will be on a Monday, yay!) and I’m desperate to crawl back under the duvet with a mug of coffee and my book. I can’t break this early morning blogging habit though. I just can’t.
What did you get up to this weekend?
