Spell it out for me

Well, today was my first day in my new job......it went brilliantly :)

And after a fantastic weekend spent with my best friends, this month has really kicked off to a great start!

Moving back into blog land, I have recently found a liking for spelling.....let me explain.
I really rather like decorative pieces that spell out a lovely word, which may have just been the worse description ever so take alook at the photos I took in Cambridge. 'BAKE' is china and 'HOME' is fabric.



 Pretty little things, so I may attempt to make one somehow, all I need is to think of a word to use....?

Oh, one more photo for you, this did make me giggle.....


....that's right, socks that say I heart Primark.....classic giggle stuff.

17

I have unknowingly developed a new found love for Boots make up range, 17.

I say unknowingly because, it just seems that when I have gone out to buy a replacment of something, I end up with 17 in my make up bag.

My most recent venture being thier photo flawless mascara, that has a tint of pearlescent colour, to match to your eye colour, mine is blue, and this gives your eyes a bit of sparkle.

These are the bits I have in my make up bag at the moment.

Clockwise from top left. Extra fair concealer, even tone correction cream, photo flawless lashes, soft eye liner pen! and pink grapefruit nail polish.
Anyone else found a love for this make up?

New beginnings

Hello all, sorry for not blogging lately, but I have been run off my feet with work this last few weeks.

Anyway, I finally have a new car, she is a red Mazda mx3 and is called Betty and also I will be starting a new job in a weeks time, which means great news for my blog, as I no long have to wear a hidious uniform and can start doing 'what I wore' again .... yay! I do have to wear smart black, but I take this as a challenge :)

Also I just wanted to show off my new one sleeve dress. It took me a little while to get used to, but I do rather love it now.




Dress - Apricot at NewLook
Belt and flower - Matalan

Happy Mother's Day to my Vintage Mum :) x x x

Is it summer yet??

I got all excited at the prospect of warmer weather the other day, and went and fell in love with some summery bargins.

Now all I need is for summer to hurry up so I can wear them without looking a little silly.

Sun hat - £1 and yellow Gap dress - £2.50.

Friday night boots


It's rather leathal working so close to shops with 75% off sales!! However, it did mean I completely by chance found myself these little beauties today.

I've been after a pair of Chelsea boots for a while, and just by chance they were on sale for £10 today in Matalan of all places!! 

I love them. In fact I love them so much I have changed my Friday night outfit just so I can wear them

Dance in the rain

I have been having a bit of a blog block lately. Work has been a bit manic and I haven't felt very inspired lately I'm sad to say.
But I think this photo I found shows all you need to know to move forward....

Some time all it takes is to learn how to dance in the rain.
