Dress; Primark via ebay, Tights Dorothy Perkins, Boots; Georgia Rose c/o Sarenza.

A semi Summer-y outfit to celebrate finishing work at 12:30pm yesterday and getting in to full on holiday mode! Snagged this dress for pennies on ebay last week and I love it, I remember wanting it from in store the year before last but not getting it…shopping fate strikes again!

I’m like an excited child on Christmas Eve/Day right now. I’ve not had a proper holiday for seven years and knowing I’ve worked damn hard for this, in every sense of the world is just amazing. To those who know my history, thank you for believeing in me…and to those going through it, it might be hard now, and things might not be perfect, but it does get better and life IS worth it. I’ve never felt quite so happy and content as I do right now (the only thing that could make it better would be my Nan being here to watch it all).

I rounded off work on a high by being signed off as qualified on INR star (which will mean very little to any of you I am sure!). My case is packed…all that’s left to do is paint my toenails and meet up with the gorgeous Ellie, the brains behind this holiday.

I may or may not be blogging whilst away, it entirely depends on wifi/Ellie sharing her laptop ;)/how much fun I am having.

Malaga has been in the forty degree range this week. Bring.It.On.

 Mae’s unladylike attempt at perfecting her sun bathing pose in hopes she can come too.

There is a lot to be said for what is basically a tube of striped cotton when it comes to keeping cool…this maxi dress from H&M pretty much saved me from melting on Thursday afternoon (and allowed me to bare my hairy legs without anyone seeing!). Teamed with faithful Havianas c/o Sarenza I’ll probably be living in this kind of thing in Spain (6 days, 6 days….I’m allowed to be over-excited, I haven’t had a holiday in seven years!)

I did feel quite sorry for my furry friend, her only way to keep cool was lie in the shade looking cute. Oh, it’s a hard life being a cat!

Has anyone got Summery weekend plans? I’ve had to put mine on hold to shift this sore throat/cough virus before my holiday. This, folks, is the one downside to my job. 50% of our patients have this same thing and it keeps getting bounced back and forth between us!

New Look Midi Dress, Matalan wedges, Raybans c/o Smart Buy Glasses

FINALLY!
An excuse to pull out a summer dress (picked up a couple of weeks ago when New Look were selling selected dresses at a tenner each), sandals and shades! I finally have my much lusted over Raybans thanks to Smart Buy Glasses too.

I can’t even complain about being ill over the weekend, it provides the perfect excuse to sit out in the garden and do not very much at all…silverlining and all that jazz! Mae loves the sunshine, or rather the insects it encourages, after years of being used to Flash and his lazy ways, it is a joy to see Mae prance around after anything that looks vaguely edible.

How are you spending your weekend?
