Cardiff looked lovely in the sun today. This is the river Taff, on the one side is the Farmers Market on the other is the Millennium Stadium. (I used to work in one of the bars there when I was in uni)
The Riverside market is every Sunday at 10-2 and you can find out what types of produce is on sale here.
I bought some lovely falafel and some cupcakes for my mum and brother who were at home painting the living room whilst I was out enjoying myself.
I think the market is a great idea. It gives local producers a chance to sell affordable, fresh produce and helps to regenerate the area and build a sense of community. Some of the prices are also cheaper than the supermarkets and there is a lot less packaging and fuel used in the transportation of the good so it's a very cheap and ethical way to shop.


I popped into Wally's to get some American sweets for my brother, you can buy lots of neat things here like marshmallow fluff and Lucky Charms but they also have a great selection of spices, cheese and food from all over the world.

I popped into the great In Aid of Vintage fair in The Woodville pub today and there were loads of bargains and fantastic vintage pieces. It's great to see smaller vintage fairs doing well, some of the larger fairs charge £75 for a single space to sell and for small sellers that amount is a great risk. If you live near Cardiff I suggest you pop in to the next event (I'm sure I will pop the details up on here or twitter)

Not a very relaxing Sunday but very enjoyable!
Hope you had a great weekend

I've had a lovely week and had a fab time going for a meal with all the girls from school last night but I did something really bad... I was putting mascara on in my friends car and she went over a bump and the mascara went all over the roof of the car!!! It did come out though but I wont be putting make up on in the car again. You have been warned ;)

Just a few pictures of what I've been wearing to work this week and then I will post a lovely big post tonight of all the exciting things I'm doing today.

Sookie wanted to say hi :)

A rare outfit post for you today, I don't do them that often because I really can't take a good photo. This was the best of the bunch and I took about 15! I bought this dress in the sales and I was so happy to find it because it was originally about £60 in the Evans Beth Ditto range and I got it for £20 once I used a voucher I had. It's a bit dressed up for work but never mind! The brooch is from Accessorize and I mentioned it in my previous sales post.

I'm pretty excited about the weekend. On Saturday I'm going for a meal with the girls from school to have a good catch up. I'm going to the Riverside farmers market on Sunday, then to see some new exhibitions at  the National Museum and then I'm going to go to the In Aid of Vintage event in the evening to hopefully pick up some bargains and enjoy a glass of wine at the same time.
Getting up to anything exciting this weekend?

Also.....

Popped down to town today to look around the charity shops and this is what I wore-
Had a little play around on Picnik, curved the edges and played with the colours, very technical for me! I love this t shirt, I has a horse on it and I got it from a shop called Supre in New Zealand a few years ago. The scarf is from a charity shop, the skirt is Dorothy Perkins, the bag is from style369 and I'm wearing my fave cardi from asda.
I would like to say a big thank you to Ariana of fatale fashion for honouring me with a 'Your Blog is Breathtaking' award :)

Are you going to make chocolate pudding teacups? Have you baked anything nice recently?

There is also going to be another event in Buffalo Boutique event, I mentioned the last one in an old post and you can find you more details of who will be selling there here.

Have you looked into your wardrobe recently and noticed how many items you never wear?
Isn't it time to 'detox' your wardrobe and help Cancer Research UK at the same time?
One bag of clothes alone can do the world of good, so rather than slimming yourself down in January, slim down your wardrobe. Television presenters Dawn Porter, Konnie Huq and Lorraine Kelly are all backing the 'Detox Your Wardrobe' campaign.
