I originally brought this skirt especially for my holiday but had to take the labels off due to Mother Nature forgetting it was August. Thunderstorms, seriously? I didn't want to wear tights as it is still August and I could not go bare legs as I have had a serious issue with orange legs. My fake tan did not apply well and it is taking ages to scrub off. I love the paper bag waist on this skirt and although it looks orange it is actually more of a vibrant red I think. It i such a statement skirt and I think it works really well being toned down with black. I think I have a love affair with maxi skirts, they really suit every occasion. I love how they can dressed up or down and are perfect for work as they can look smart.

I went out for an Indian for my friends birthday last night and had a gorgeous chicken rogan josh thanks to Sarah's advice. I am trying to eat healthily as my holiday is only 2 weeks away but I really didn't feel like I missed out by having an healthy option. I felt so stuffed so it proved that I don't really need to order nann bread, sag aloo and onion bhajis as well as a curry. I am just being greedy! It was a fairly quiet evening as the boys had gone out the night before and didn't get home till 4am! On a Thursday! They were all feeling a bit delicate so we just finished off the night with a few drinks down the pub.

I am off out to a house party tonight as a few of my friends are off travelling on the 1st and one of their mum's is throwing them a going away party. One of them, my boyfriend's best friend, I have known since I was 16 so it will be very strange going on a night out and him not being there. I would never admit this to him but I think I will quite miss him. He is always constantly there whenever I go out. I know my boyfriend will be pining for him haha! It should be a really good get together tonight and I have got my bottles of cider ready!

I was very lucky to win Jennie's giveaway. I won some gorgeous Sawyer and Scout bracelets. I wore them down the pub on Thursday to show them off :) Thank you so much, I love them! The owl bracelet has to be my favourite.

  1. That is one amazing skirt! I really like your wedges, found some really similar in H&M the other day that I wanted but my size was sold out (always the way!). Hope you have a lovely time tonight, my best friend left a few weeks ago to go travelling so I know how you feel! xxx
