My face looks so silly because my friend was making me laugh! So I am trying not to laugh!

I am off out tonight as you can see by the bottle of wine! It is actually our second bottle opps! I have not been out for ages and am spending tonight with my best friend which I am extremely excited about! We always create a bit of trouble together! I have been laughing since the time she got here!She cracks me up! Currently raving to a bit of old school Kings of Leon, the best kind!

I have tried to do a bun again but it not quite as good as the first time. It has too many grips in it for me to attempt it again haha! I love this dress, I think it is one of my favourites. I just think it looks quite flattering and doesn't matter if I am having a fat day! The shoulders are gorgeous hence why I have worn my hair up to show them off. I think I need to invest in a new pair of black shoes and a new black handbag, I seem to wear these on every night out! Next payday I promise!

Hope you all have a good night and a massive hello to all my new followers! :)

Opinions needed please!

I have been after trying my hand at alterations for a while. So when I spotted this dress at a Jumble Sale at the weekend for just 25p (!!!!), I thought it would be the perfect starting point. I was going to take it up to just above the knee. But when I tried it on I actually really like the length. I feel like a lady. Like my boyfriend said, I feel like I should be having a summer picnic in Hyde Park. I think it is from the 80s as it had shoulder pads which I took out straight away. I have no desire to look like an American footballer. I looked up the label and it is a House of Fraser brand that still sells in store today. Brand new dresses retail at £89!

Excuse the bare feet but I am stuck on the footwear department. I tried brogues but they just did not look right. I tried white tights with it but alas I looked like I was wearing surgical stockings so I think it will be a strictly summer dress.

So opinions please!

Shall I alter it? Will it be difficult because of the pleats? (I can always get some help off my Aunt as she used to be a dressmaker)

What shoes would go best with it?

The jumble was a success, apart from the fact I nearly got beaten up by 80 year old grannies. No one comes between them and bargains as I found out! I managed to get a bunch of things for Ebay, brand new electric blue flat pumps from New Look, a pair of pearl earrings (RIP they have now broken, quite possibly why they were 50p!) and a huge Mary Poppins style carpet bag which I am unsure on wether to keep or sell.

Outfit details:

Cream cardigan: Topshop

Cream statement ring: Primark

Nail varnish: Raspberry Barry M

P.s how amazing is my new bed cover! It was from Primark! Inside it has rows of cameos, I am in love!

Stylish Blogger Award

I have been meaning to do this for ages. I have been awarded the stylish blogger award by two lovely ladies, Charlotte and Amy you should check out their blogs! :) Thank you!

My seven facts that are not that interesting haha sorry girls!

1. As much as I love The Strokes, Bloc Party, Libertines and We are Scientists. Deep down my all time favourite band, much to the disgust of my friends, is the Backstreet Boys. There I said it. I have been completely in love with Nick Carter since I was 9. I have managed to see them 3 times, each time better than the last.

2. I am an ebay freak. I am obsessed with selling things on ebay, so much so that when I visit people houses I take their rubbish home with me. My ebay listings are extremely random. I am at the Post Office so often that they know me by name!

3. I don't like tea or and hot drinks. I tried Tea at The Ritz but could not manage to drink it. I just do not like the taste. Give me diet coke any day!

4. My favourite programme is Sex and the City. I have watched it god knows how many times. I still think Carrie should have stayed with Aiden.

5. I adore high heels, the higher the better. But alas I cannot walk in them. I am famous in my group of friends for falling over. They even have a bet between them on what time I will fall over during a night out.

6. I used to be a complete tomboy. I regularly went to watch West Ham with my dad and at one point could tell you anything about football in any league. I spent my life in tracksuits, my favourite one used to be a bright orange Kappa one. I thought I was Sporty Spice.

7. I love gigging. In fact I could go to a gig everyday and would choose it over clubbing anyday. I have been neglecting live music for the last few years. In my younger days it was all I used to spend my money on. However I have decided to get back into the swing of things. I have three lined up already this year and am looking to add to it. I NEED TO SEE THE STROKES!
