Penguin hat at the end of March? I can live with that

Little bit of “granny chic”

Cherry coke zero is my new addiction

Still loving these specs

I love sweets that pay me compliments as I tuck in

These, however are too cute to eat

Neon skater skirt- total impulse buy and total love

My little Mae cat, we’ve had her a year nearly…time flies!

Extortion

Amazing gifts from Ellie’s trip to Paris. She knows me far too well

Primark Jumper
Vintage kilt via ebay
Bertie shoes c/o Sarenza
This week became a real battle of warmth versus style. Instinct says wear floral dresses, pastels and all things Spring,
common sense says find your warmest clothes and damn what they look like. This kilt is the perfect compromise, the heavy wool fabric provides warmth whilst still making a bit of a statement. I can’t remember how much I paid for it but it wasn’t a lot. The same goes for this jumper, I bought a few of them for about a fiver in Primark last year and they’ve worn and washed so well and become a bit of a staple.
We’re finally at that long weekend, hurrah! Yesterday was so, so busy but it was nice to down tools and leave for home knowing I’d made a difference AND earnt a break. This morning is going to involve nothing more taxing than dying my hair- it hasn’t been done since before Christmas, oops! 
What are you up to today? And what are your cold weather beating staples?

hell for pleather

Dress: Missguided
Boots: Miista
It was a serious case of wishful thinking putting this outfit on Monday morning to lounge about the house as there was no way I own enough layers to have made it tolerable for outside temperatures. Thank goodness for central heating, although needing it on at this time of year is just insane. Please tell me an end is in sight?
I’m loving this Missguided dress though, it only cost me £14.99 and even with super saver delivery it was with me the very next day. Fantastic.
At least the end is in sight for the working week, I’m looking forward to clocking off at 2pm and popping in to town to do some payday chores before heading home to the warmth and a long weekend where I plan to catch up with my favourite people and also on some much needed chilling out time. The next couple of weeks are going to be super busy for me so I really need to take this chance to rest up!
I’m having a complete writers block when it comes to composing blog posts lately. Blame the early hour or the cold having frozen my brain cells if you want, but I think generally after so long of spouting rubbish I have finally run out until the next random event in my life happens…make the most of it!
I may be mad here but I’m seriously contemplating leaving the house five minutes earlier than needed to go and buy some mini eggs to get me through the morning. Easter chocolate is addictive! What’s your favourite Easter treat?

Dress c/o Warehouse
Top: C&A in Holland
Boots: ASOS
As you can see, my photos (as per) fail to do this gorgeous Warehouse dress justice. I was so excited when I was asked if I’d like to choose something from the website, I just knew that this was the dress for me!
I wore it for my shopping and dinner date with Trudi layered with my ever faithful top that I picked up on my ill-fated trip to Holland- my foot still isn’t right you know?! Madness. I probably should be choosing more sensible shoes but needs must.
How’s the short week treating you? As ever I’m on my early early start for work today- as if 8am isn’t early enough! At least I finish at 1pm to hang out with someone awesome. The next couple of weeks are going  to be especially mad on a Wednesday as I’ll be going straight from my shift at my usual work place over to another surgery to do a clinic there to help them out. I’m nervous but really excited too as this is a great chance to build up my experience.
Anyway, enough work talk so early in the day, I’m on the weekend countdown!
