starry eyed.

Simple Thursday outfit, worn for a morning at home and an afternoon at work (hidden away in the office, else I’d have gone smarter!)

I’m pleased to see stars come back in for A/W as it gives me even more excuses to wear this dress, despite it being about 5/6 years old and from Primark back when a full price dress cost less than a tenner.

The shoes are by Clarks and came c/o this month’s voucher from Sarenza. I can’t believe how much Clarks have upped their game lately, there are at least four more pairs I want by them, if not more!
The bag is also via Sarenza…oh yes, they do bags too! Lots of them infact. This one is by Georgia Rose.

I want to take this chance to give a big shout out to Sarenza and their faultless customer service. My Mum ordered some shoes that were too big,
within five minutes of sending an e-mail I had a response, and less than 24 hours later the return was sorted. Fast AND friendly service? That alone is enough to keep me shopping there!

Have you checked out Clarks shoes lately? Bigggg fan!

How about Sarenza? Even bigger fan here!

Finally…it’s FRIDAY and a BANK HOLIDAY. I’m off work until Wednesday after this morning. Oh yeahhhhh. Let the fun begin.

Wearings

Just a couple of outfits from the last couple of days.

The black lace ups are the second pair of Jeffrey Campbells from my Sarenza haul! The are the softest suede I’ve ever owned and so comfortable. New shoe staple. I want them in blue, too.

Huge thank you to everyone for being so wonderfully supportive. It really, really helps to know there is such a lovely bunch of people out there.

I hope everyone has a great weekend ahead of them; the sun has finally shown it’s face here; typically after drizzling all day during my trip to Bath (which proved expensive and yet yielded little on the clothing front, just dregs of sale stock by this point).

P.S. Snacking Saturday will return next week, as you can probably gather, this week involved Brownies!

Practise Run

I’m considering this outfit a trial run for Autumn. My latest Sarenza order arrived yesterday, including some boots I’d chosen to put away for colder times…
One look at the grey skies made me realise there was no way these babies could be hidden away. They were begging to be worn right now…and so there is a silver lining to any situation.

What made the deal even sweeter was that these shoes; Jeffrey Campbell Erikson are just £40 in the sale! Meaning I was able to take full advantage of being an ambassador for Sarenza and buy some sensible shoes for work, too! I think I’ve become a bit obsessed with JC shoes, actually…and it’s not the usual hype about the infamous Litas! I opted for the Miller flats which, with a bit of weather protection spray will be perfect for now and later in the year!

The Sarenza sale has some amazing bargains right now, so if your in the mood for a feet treat, hop along!

work that heat

Case in point of how humid it has been here; my hair was dead straight Sunday night. Yesterday I woke up to…

Photobucket

Yeah. I was un-amused.

And it left me with a dilemma. The site I work at on a Monday isn’t know for it’s warmth, but we have a lot of glass, which basically meant greenhouse!
After much frustration I went for my coolest weight skirt and a sheer blouse. It kind of worked. With the aid of a fan in the office.

The big reveal of my latest Sarenza ambassador purchase! As many of you guessed, I opted for some Jeffery Campbells. At the time the weather was vile and I found myself planning ahead for winter (with a resigned view to wearing them most of the summer, too). As soon as they arrived, the weather got gorgeous, so no modelling of them yet!

The (perhaps aptly named) sweat boots, which have since gone in the sale at just £56…perfect excuse to invest, if I do say so myself!

I also picked this gorgeous Friis&Company bag, which is also now in the sale! This is PERFECT for carrying my life around in!

Who else has been suffering in the humidity?

Anyone else planning ahead for winter?

London Calling

FINALLY today has arrived and I am off to London for the day to at last meet some of my favourite bloggers; and some new to me ones too. I’m a bag of nerves, but exciteeed! I’m always gutted to turn down event invites due to having to work and living so far from London that travel is often expensive and impractical. The Aussie gods worked their magic to pull this one off!

I spent Friday afternoon in a mad panic, and the perfect “so much to do but no idea where to start” outfit is clearly wide legged jeans, a floaty top and super high clogs for stamping feet in frustration.

The day was sweetened by my latest Sarenza Ambassador perk (they have an amazing sale right now..go check it out!)

And a new challenge. Sometimes at work we get sent really awesome things for health promotion. I was all over this one, designed by Innocent (of smoothie fame). Getting my 5 a day is one thing I excell at!

Well,
best be heading off…

To anyone I might be meeting later…apologies in advance for my tendency to talk. A lot. It’s a nervous habit.
