the cold shoulder

Dress: Cheap clothing shop in town (where everything costs a fiver!)
Shoes c/o Zalando GmbH
A couple of weekends ago I had a long overdue catch-up scheduled with my Spain partner in crime, Ellie. We had a potter about the shops in central Bristol and paid a visit to one we often browse in (but at the same time, equally as often overlook) where the stock is hit or miss but it’s worth a browse because the everything is priced at £5.
This time we struck gold. Ellie found a gorgeous top and I picked up this dress…which I then purchased again last Thursday in another colour (darker green and pink) when I was shopping with Mum. It’s one of those finds that so rarely happens, it’s not often I buy the same item twice but I’m pretty glad I did.
I wore this outfit Wednesday afternoon when the boy (I should probably start calling him by his name) came over to chill out for a bit. I teamed it with these wedge trainers that I had as part of my Zalando GmbH music challenge parcel. I will be wearing these to death I think, so comfy and practical and one of the only “high” shoes my foot will tolerate.
Busy weekend ahead for me. I’m at work all day today (yes, I know most people work all day every day) and then again for three hours tomorrow morning as it’s my turn on the Saturday rota. After that I have a leg wax booked, lunch scheduled with Best Friend alongside a visit to my Grandad and then I’m off up to Ellie’s parents’ farm for a family Birthday BBQ extravaganza.
Sunday I shall head from the farm to see the boy, stay there until Monday and then come home, pack and crash out ready to fly out to Spain Tuesday evening. I’m so ready for this holiday, I’m glad I’m busy in the run-up as it means I’ll appreciate the relaxation all the more.
What’s in store for you this weekend?
Are you someone who buys the same item of clothing in multiple colours? Does your town have one of those nameless, cheap and random clothes shops?

Just had to chuck in my current snack food of choice.

It’s a new season, Sister

Sorry folks, it’s a case of “another day, another wishlist” at the moment whilst I get this window shopping bug out of my system.
This time I’ve stopped browsing Summer supplies and have moved on to the forthcoming Autumn/Winter (don’t hate me for mentioning it) and the brand new arrivals at Sister Online
Barbour Vintage Quilted Jacket- £119

Day Birger Et Mikkelsen Silk Print Dress- £150

Day Birger Et Mikkelsen Sleeveless Silk Embroidered Dress- £250

Day Birger Et Mikkelsen Pleated Camisole Blouse- £170

Codello Leopard Print Scarf- £39

It’s somewhat amusing to me that all season I’ve been drawn to dark colours for Summer and now, as I look ahead to the colder months I’m craving all things pastel and pretty. I’m really hoping to invest in a Barbour coat for winter but  this jacket is a perfect compromise for as the days get cooler. I’ll need to do a lot of saving but I think it might be time for quality over quantity and that’s something Sister Online do pretty damn well.
They happen to have a pretty good sale on right now if you fancied a little payday splurge. I’ve spied some beautiful shoes from new to me designers and some rather gorgeous bags. Tempted. Very.
