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.

When all else fails.......bake

Today, I decided to make some yummy cakes to cheer me up.

Chocolate and peanut butter fairy cakes with marshmellows and pink sprinkles on top ♥

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.

Someone like you.....

I heard this tonight on the radio for the first time, and it just stopped me in my train of thought and gave me goose bumps. 

The lyrics just trickled over me as they told me a story very much like one I know all too well.

 'Yesterday was the time of our lives.......'

Camden

My brother and I went for a little day trip to Camden yesterday to see what bargains we could grab ourselves. We had a good day on the bargain front. With my brother finding a long leather coat for only £5 and a new satchel bag that the strange Thai lady insisted he tried on many times. I got myself a vintage kilt for only £5 too, plus other lovely pretty things too like a Swallow belt buckle and an Indian beaded necklace.
