old faithful

Mock layer jumper dress; Next, Tights; New Look, Boots c/o Sarenza.

It must be at least two Autumns ago that I got this jumper dress and it’s my go-to for work as soon as the weather gets chilly; anything that is smart yet comfortable wins major brownie points in my book and it is perfect for days when I can’t be bothered to think about what I want to wear (that’d be most days then). Still relying on this boots for my stupid foot, I’m getting majorly fed up of looking at all my other shoes longingly and then at my big toe that refuses to straighten and ankle that still throbs, I did attempt to slip a pair of heels on the other morning but that scream it produced just wasn’t worth it!

Back to the working world today after enjoying a lazyily indulgent post-London recovery day off yesterday. I can’t complain, I might get stressed at times but I am yet to have a day where I don’t love what I do and not many people can say that!

How has your week been going? I can’t believe we are almost at another weekend!

The French Connection

Hello new favourite dress, kindly sent to me by French Connection. I can’t get over how well this fits and how good it makes me feel! French Connection is one of those brands I have forever been aware of but at the same time totally unfamiliar with. I wish I had the budget to dress myself in it top to toe, this dress attracted many a compliment at work yesterday!
Worn with New Look tights and Jeffrey Campbell boots and my motivational bangle by Disney Couture.

Bonus shot of Mae perfecting her blogger posing skills!

Finally Friday! Another one of those short weeks that has dragged on by, probably because I have a nice weekend planned, always the way.
Anyone got anything exciting on the agenda?
What item of clothing always makes YOU feel good?

P.S. BIG HUGE congratulations to Katy, winner of the Matalan giveaway! Stay tuned for more fantastic prizes to be won.

flat footed

Dress, liberated from Ellie in Spain, Tights, Tesco, Shoes c/o Miss Ikon, Poser Cat still free to a good home!

The flatform trend is one I’ve watched from afar since it first emerged. I was always in two minds over whether I actually liked it or not. Lately I’ve decided I do (also creepers have grown on me) so when I was given the change to choose a pair of shoes from Miss Ikon these black flatform sandals were my first choice.

I doubted their comfort, I have a high instep and a totally flat shoe base doesn’t usually suit my feet and I wondered about walking in them.
Worries banished, these are so comfortable and once again I am impressed with the quality and sturdiness of the shoe. They take a little bit of getting used to walking wise, but I’m a convert and I intend to wear them to death for what remains of the summer!

How’s the weekend panning out? Yesterday saw me FINALLY track down a jumper from Asda that I’ve been coveting and spending quality time relaxing. Today is ScratchCard Sunday and I am hoping to boost our £6 winnings (three weeks of winning in a row…can it be done?!)

Knowing I don’t have to get up for work tomorrow…total bliss! I hope those of you at festivals aren’t getting too soggy! I believe in true British fashion this weekend is set to be a washout!

Tribal

Dress c/o Miss Ikon, Tights from Superdrug, Boots Georgia Rose c/o Sarenza. Cat…free to a good home 😉

I suppose really I should apologise to introducing you all to yet another place to shop, but I think you’ll thank me when you actually take a look at Miss Ikon for yourselves…currently rocking a brilliant Bank Holiday sale there are so true gems on this site…
I’m in love with this Aztec Print dress and impressed, REALLY impressed both by the quality and length of it (something often lacking in the highstreet these days)

Mae tones in nicely with this outfit. She’s going through a bit of a naughty phase at the moment, tearing up carpets and generally being mad. She makes up for it by being cute though, so I guess she can stay!

Happy weekend folks, anyone got bank holiday plans?
I am indulging in the extra day off by doing not a lot at all, one way or another it’s been a testing week and I’ve come out the stronger person (albeit it the exhausted one too!)
Onwards and upwards.

P.S. apologies for the blurred pictures, someone needs to clean their lens!

tied

 I actually look pretty awful in these photos, sorry! Hello moody face. Wearing a Topshop vest that is 3+ years old (the only piece from Topshop I’ve had that has washed well), Matalan skirt and Friis & Co shoes c/o Sarenza

I couldn’t resist adding this pic of Mae, who is still struggling with the catflap concept- she’ll go out it fine, but coming in is another story!

Clearly I don’t have much to say for myself today *hears collective sigh of relief*

How’s your week starting off? On the right foot I hope!
