I wore this outfit to work yesterday with flats and then popped some heels, lippy and a hair band on to go and meet friends after work. I NEVER wear bright lipstick so I felt a bit self conscious all night. I have Urban Decay Midnight Cowboy which I wear all the time, I much prefer nude lip colours. Thanks for all the tips on...

Hello! another work filled week for me so I only have a boring work outfit to share with you. This dress is not from Peaocks... not all of my dresses are from there, honest! This is a dress from Tesco which I bought a while a go but it's a little too formal for me, I prefer something floral with a bright cardi but it's...

Hello everyone, it's been a while since my last outfit post, sorry! It's manic at this time of the year in the library with lots of deadlines coming up before Easter and dissertations will be due in soon so I've been working most days from 11 until 9.30. Anyway... here is an awful moon faced picture of me in a fab dress I got from Peacocks...

  I don't really do many posts like this because I'm usually not excited about  new collections, they never fit me (Topshop etc) but I'm really excited about this one and wanted to share it with you. I'm always flying the Peacocks flag because they have great dresses that fit me for a fair price. The Pearl Lowe range is full of 40's & 70's glamour and will...

Florals areI wear something floral most days and if I'm not wearing them I'm drinking tea from my floral Cath Kidston mugs, putting my make up in a floral make up bag and sleeping under my floral duvet, I'm floral mad! This post is a tribute to florals and those who wear them so well :) Jemma-Louise / Sarah / Me! Leanne's ring / Beth with her...

It's Red Nose Day in the UK on Friday and I have to wear red to work, it's not a colour I usually wear and I thought a few other people might be in the same predicament as me so I did a little polyvore collage of some great red items to give you some inspiration. The H&M vest is only £3.99 it's a...

Exciting news! If you follow me on twitter you might know that I started attending Weight Watchers a few weeks a go and I've been doing pretty well but I have started to struggle with motivation so this new project has come along at the perfect time...

The lovely Rosie from A Pocket Full of Rosie tagged me with this challenge yesterday which I was very excited about. It's been quiet in work today so I scanned my attempt in. I didn't have any fancy paper with me in work so I wrote everything down in my Cath Kidston diary. Here's what I had to write for the challenge: 1. Name and blog name.2....

This is the new dress I bought in asda last night, it was only £12 and is nice and light. I wore it in work all day today and it was very comfy. I must say I bought it because it matched the cardi I bought from H&M. Don't I look mardy?! I have been in a good mood all day so I...

Hello! This is one of the dresses I got in Peacocks with my 40% discount. I usually stick to dark colour dresses then pair it with a bright cardi but I chose a dress with some lighter and brighter colours. I look a little washed out but I wore this to work and I've been trying to wear less make up so that...

I thought the Frankie and the Heartstrings lyric in the post title sums up my dress lusting at the moment. I don't really need any of these dresses but I do really want them! The first dress is £45 from Evans or style369 and I think it would be great for work and would be easily adapted for a night out with some...

Finally got a few minutes to myself after being so busy with work all week. It's been lovely to have a day where I don't need to get the bus. It has been a fun week though. I went to Pizza Express with my friend Amanda after work on Thursday and had some nice pizza that had a hole cut out of the...

Sorry, I've not done an outfit post for a while have I? I'm a bit useless at the moment, I go out wearing nice clothes or to fun gigs and forget to take photos. I've started working more hours this week and I will be doing them right up until the end of term. 1-9.30 isn't fun at all, your whole day is gone and it's...
