Halfway through another week already? Where does time go? Oh I make myself sound so old…22 going on 82.

No shopping for me this week, which is probably a good thing given my lack of funds after last week.

Monday I had a slouching round the house day outfit wise, featuring my AA t-shirt dress and my new boyfriend cardigan from Primark. Is it wrong I’m considering buying another of these? It’s just so comfortable!

I’m not toooo sure whats going on with the lighting in the pictures, haha, my camera does tend to hate me at times.

I also wanted to share my new boots, I ordered them at the start of last week but they only arrived yesterday

From La Redoute. They actually look nicer in person (which I was glad to see) and are replacing my old (well, last years) black boots that have literally been worn to death.

I hope everyone is having a fantastic week,
please tell me I’m not the only one who is so far underwhelmed with the S/S 10 collections?!

chosen by and paid for by my Grandad, bless his heart.
I think he loved the new Primark almost as much as I do!

As well as the dress I got a new grey boyfriend cardi and a denim shirt, which will be featured on the blog soon.

I am extremely lucky to have such a loving and supportive and very generous family as well as some of the most incredible friends.

Well,
I don’t have much to say for myself today, it’s been a quiet weekend with lots of reading and sleeping (and of course x-factor!)

In complete contrast to my crappy week last week, this one has been quite wonderful.
I’ve spent a lot of time with my Mum, as Dad has been away and things have been very relaxed in our house (that’s not to say I haven’t missed Dad, he’s home tonight and I can’t wait to see him!) but it’s lovely to do things at our pace.

I’ve pretty much lived in jeans this week, complete relaxation wear. And for once it was because I wanted to and not because I didn’t feel like wearing anything else. This outfit is from Tuesday and includes an awesome vintage blazer/bolero stolen from Mum. You can’t see so well in the picture but it’s velvet, midnight blue with metallic details. I adore it.

I got to spend a good amount of time with Trudi on Monday and Tuesday which was lovely,
and yesterday Mum and I had a good old girly day that (of course) involved shopping! I took her to the new Primark where she got some bits for the house and I got some leggings that aren’t really leggings..if that makes sense?! They are thick black and ribbed with knee detail and I think I’ll get away with them as trousers.

Mum treated us to lunch at Pret (chicken and avocado, yum!) and then bought us both a new bag from Next (she is awful for spoiling me)

Her bag is amazing but I don’t have a photo, I’ll try and get one as it’s certainly blog worthy!
We kind of out did ourselves with the amount we bought actually, and could barely carry it back to the car! Most of my shopping was presents for others though 😉

Awful picture of todays outfit, but to be fair it was 8am and I was rushing to get to the dentist!

My check up was fine…mostly, a few minor things but not bad considering I’ve not had one for over three years (awful awful oops!)
Stumbled accross an amazing health food shop in the same town as our Dentist surgery and bought some treats then we along to another nearby town where we had coffee in very chic cafe and noseyed around the little trinket shops there.

I treated myself to this ring

which I am oh so in love with
and then we did boring food shopping before heading home so Mum could go to work.

Anyway,
more adventures tomorrow as I’m going shopping for A/W clothes with my Grandad, bless him.

I hope everyone is having a fantastic week
sorry if this post is long/boring/non-sensical!

A rarity for me, but over the past couple of days I have found myself favouring jeans over my usual uniform of a dress or skirt. It’s like a comfort blanket I think, and with things being just a little stressful in my life at the moment I’ve fallen back in to old habits.

Not that I mind, denim has it’s charms, I’ve just never felt its suited me all that well.

These are my £4.99 Urban Outfitters jeans, made by [blank] and worn with a past season topshop top. I’ve never heard of this brand before, but they fit well and are long enough in the leg and waist for my tall frame. I wouldn’t pay £60 for a pair of jeans, but at less than £5 I can’t complain.

Today I was too lazy for anything more than a mirror picture, especially as Mum is ill so I’ve had to make a couple of trips to the shops to pick up things we need as we have no food in the house. The jeans I’m wearing today are River Island (nabbed off Mum) and the shirt is a hand me down from a friend.

I did indulge in some more retail therapy both yesterday and today,
budget style of course.
I picked up two pairs of tights in Boots yesterday; one grey and one royal blue for £1.25 a pair…so if you have a Boots near you, check them out as they are having major clearance (also on some Soap and Glory products though typically these were sold out here).

Today I treated myself to a much lusted after leopard print leotard in New Look, rationalising that I should make the most of my student discount as I have less than two weeks until it becomes in-valid. So, £10.80 makes a bargain, yes?

Sorry if the photo is super small.

I can’t wait to take my saved up pennies along to Primark, I am in major shopping mode lately.
