I realise I look like coco the clown with the amount of make up I have on. The red cheeks are due to the fact it was boiling in my boyfriends house not that I had fun with blusher a bit too much haha!

This is the famous ebay dress! Hope its not a dissapointment haha! I have tried to show the collar in the second image. I love it, the leopard print is a bit too yellow but I think it works. It fits like a dream and has lovely rouched arms. The more I look at this outfit the more I think I look like a little old lady haha. The pearls, cardigan, bag and loafers all scream little old lady! I am always joking to my boyfriend that I take my inspiration from the oldies! I love these loafers, I have them in black too. Really can't go wrong when they only cost a tenner!

Me and the boyfriend did a spot of babysitting on babysitting for a family friend on Friday night and very kindly got paid for it. I really didnt expect anything because they supplied us with KFC, sweets and popcorn, I was more than ok being paid in chicken haha! So it was a nice surprise. We decided to go out for dinner at the local mexican restaurant last night (where I wore this outfit). Ahhhh it was gorgeous! As always I completely stuffed my face and left feeling that I needed to rolled back to the car as walking was far too muh effort. I feel off the lent wagon completely and had chilli nachos to start with chicken enchiladas as a main. I didn't have any fizzy drinks though so I am keeping to that side of the bargain! We had not been out for dinner for ages and it was nice to spend time together outside of a house!

I'm not really up too much today, been given the time off work. I think I am going to gatecrash my boyfriend down the pub in a little while then we are going shopping because his wardrobe is appalling. We had a clear out and he literally has no clothes. I might spend the money I have left over from the babysitting too. The £15 is burning a hole in my pocket, seen a gorgeous lace dress in Primark.

Anyone else got anything more exciting planned for today?

Work work work

Outfit:

Floral smock dress: Next

Grey tights: Mums drawer

Grey pumps: Primark

Red watch: Toywatch

My head seems to go to the side on its own when I pose haha!

Not a very exciting outfit today. I have worked all week so all my outfits this week have been uniform. This is what I wear to work! I am doing 26 hours this week, my usual contract is 10.5 so I am shattered. How will I cope with a full time job? Luckily I have the whole of next week off so it will be coursework, coursework and coursework. Much needed to be honest! I think this dress is a bit maternity like but it is so comfortable which is what I'm looking for when I am on my feet all day.

Not much to report for this week, pretty boring and its not going to be getting anymore exciting. I am offically broke, no more socialising for me! But I have The Wombats on Monday in Hammersmith which is pretty exciting. Luckily I have saved a little money for this! I am really looking forward to it, the last gig (well festival) I went to was Reading back in August. Agggges ago!

My gorgeous leopard print dress that I won on ebay arrived yesterday. I cannot wait to wear it once it has had a good wash. Its a lot brighter than it seemed in the pictures but i'm happy with it. Its such a nice length and the peter pan collar is so cute! I also recieved my OPI Thanks so Muchness nail varnish, I have been after it for ages and now want to buy the rest of the Alice in Wonderland set.

Hope your week has been a lot more exiting than mine! Hello to all my new followers :) Would be nice to speak to you so don't be afraid to comment! I am on twitter as @sophiesophuk too if any of you fancy a chat!

Second hand treasures

Over this past week the charity/car boot gods have been shining down on me! I have got some amazing goodies that I cannot wait to use! Found a brilliant charity shop near my boyfriends house, just a shame I didnt have any money left to buy more!

First up is this pristine kelly bag with a matching purse. I have no idea if its vintage, I need to google the label. But its beautiful and only cost me £4.99! I love Kelly bags, I have a navy one too. They just seem to ladylike.

I got these for 25p each from a bootsale yesterday. I am starting to nest haha, I have no intention of moving out for another 100 years but can't help buy things that I think will go in my own house. I wanted to put bubble bath in these. They will just have to sit in my parents bathroom for the time being.

A vintage Marks and Spencers peter pan collar sheer spotted blouse from a charity shop. This is so pretty. It has a frilly peter pan collar with a pussy bow tie. Only £2.50 so I snapped it up! Its in the wash for the time being but I cant wait to wear it. I think I might wear it to The Wombats in the next few weeks.

A selection of jewellery from bootsales and charity shops. The cameo necklace was from the charity shop in my boyfriends part of town. I love cameos, starting to build up a collection! The two rings and brooch on the left were from a bootsale yesterday and cost 50p each. The rings are adjustable so they fit perfectly. The green stone brooch on the right cost £2 from a rubbish bootsale last week. It was full of people selling electrical goods and prams.

Finally I brought two books for 99p each from my favourite Oxfam charity shop. I always buy my books from here, its only since I have joined Gems book club that I have beginning to buy new again. They always have such an amazing selection of books.Anyone else find any second hand bargain over the weekend? How exciting is it that car boots have started up again!
