Summer sun...

Well, seeing as we don't seem to have had a Summer at all I was fed up of wearing dark clothes and jumpers so i treated myself to this amazing summer playsuit from Topshop.
I absolutely love it and it makes me feel so happy when I wear it! I teamed it with some amazing red heels to an engagement party and spread a little sunshine....

Perks of the job!!

As you may or may not know, I am Marketing Coordinator for a property developer and absolutely love my job! Some of the perks is I can get first dibs on some of the ex-show home furniture when it goes on sale. My bottom drawer is getting bigger (I think my mum's trying to tell me something!) and I have now taken up half of our garage with a fantastic dining table!! 

Check it out...

 I absolutely love the multi-coloured chairs and i even got all the matching cutlery and plates..and the fruit bowl in the middle!! It is amazing and I'm just counting down now until i can get the house for it!!! Fingers crossed that will be another big perk of my job...


I even got spoiled with an amazing Pandora charm from one of my Managers for doing the set up of a fantastic new show home in Plymouth at the old airport...

I absolutely love it and it really means a lot...another item I will be treasuring forever :)

Mulberry magic...

 During the time since i last posted i celebrated my 23rd birthday...I was spoilt rotten and had so many nice things. One of my presents was this amazing pink Mulberry bracelet with a little gold bear. It was from my parents... and Teddy..Get it??










I absolutely love it and know it is something I can treasure  forever! :) Next on my list is the Bayswater ...we'll see!!!!

Meet the new edition...

Wow, I am so sorry it has been so long since i last posted! I can't quite believe it has been 5 months!! A lot has happened in those 5 months...the eyelashes have officially come off, my boyfriend has finished uni and moved in with me and I have a 6 month old puppy!!
I am going to dedicate this post to my little Yorkie pup called Teddy, or 'Ted'! He has taken up most of my time in the last 5 months and you can now meet the new edition to my little family...

 

Vintage Fair

I was in sunny Bournemouth last weekend and decided to take a trip to Boscombe for a change!! I had seen online that the first saturday of every month they hosted a vintage fair! I couldn't wait to check it out and it didn't disappoint! It was small- probably only about 10/12 stalls but the goodies you could get were great!! A complete mixture from homeware, old records, old sewing machines, fashion and jewellery. I saw a real fur coat for just £65- it was pretty tempting but I've still not quite made my mind up about real fur...
I came across one stall as I was about to leave and so glad I did. There was a mixture of homeware products, lots of unique jewellery- including this ring I bought for just £4...

I then came across some amazing clothes- pretty sure they aren't real vintage but they look good to me so that's all that matters...and so cheap!
I got a white blouse with a black peter pan collar and cuffs for just £16- it would be double that in Topshop!! I also got a white top with a black peter pan style collar - for just £3!!!!! Cheaper then Primark!!! Finally, I got a navy blue dress with...you guessed it...a gold sequin peter pan collar!!! As you can tell, I'm loving the peter pan collar at the moment- I think its so elegant and looks great on all these different items!! The dress was only £5 too so I think I got some absolute bargains! I actually received a small card from the girl who owned the stall and I checked out her website...definitely worth a browse!!! Check it out at www.everours.bigcartel.com

P.S- There is actually a whole festival dedicated to all that is vintage in July in Northamptonshire and I can't wait til next payday so I can get my ticket!!! check it out at http://www.vintagefestival.co.uk/

Homemade designer dresses

I have to share with you the amazing dresses my auntie has made for me!! They are the best dresses ever- designed by myself!!
Firstly, a lovely red skater dress with zip detail and a really subtle floral pattern...what do you think?

(Sorry it's a little creased in this picture- need to get the iron out!!)

Secondly, an amazing blue strapless dress with tiny floral pattern and a cream bow to finish. I absolutely love it and can't wait to wear it to a wedding i have at the end of the month teamed with a cream blazer and navy clutch!!!

I just love it soooo much!!!! I think this proves homemade is best- I might even attempt to create something on my own at the weekend but i doubt they will be a scratch on these two!!

Fantastic finds...check these beauties out!!!

WOW- I couldn't wait to tell you all about the amazing finds at Primark this week! I love this bird print blouse and the bow detail around the collar- looks much more expensive then £12, I actually saw a similar version on asos for £35!!

Then my next amazing find was this designer-look-a-likey for a fraction of the cost- £5!!!! I absolutely love it!! Great for work and play, team it with some amazing high heels and leather jacket for a night out or tights and a cardi for work, like I did today!

I can't believe I found my dream playsuit for only £5!!!!

And finally, this amazing Alexander Mcqueen copycat at only £3 you can't go wrong!!

I have to say these amazing finds were all in Primark in Bournemouth which has some great things- my local Primark in Torquay- not so much!! I guess if you live in a small town like me you may have to dig a little deeper to find these amazing bargains!!!


On another note I'm also trying out Barry M's instant spray tan so i will let you know how I get on- so far it has a great colour but it is hard getting used to the spray so you'll definitely need a mit to even that out if your not so used to the spray tan!!!
