Sorry for the squinty eyes, its quite sunny here in Essex. Whats it like where you are?

I am in trousers. I never wear trousers. They just do not agree with my child bearing hips, I sure I will be grateful of them in 10 years when I actually have children but right now I hate tmy hips with a passion. I have been lusting over chinos from afar but just felt too self conscious to buy and and they fact most of them just did not fit. I found these in Next and had been umming and ahhhing for ages. They are soft cotton so are not as clingy as ordinary chinos. Plus they look smarter and will be perfect for when I finally get a full time job. I might invest in the black version too. It does feel a little weird not being in a dress, I feel more exposed in trousers! I have had this lace blazer for ages, brought it as uniform a few seasons ago and its still going strong. I love the colour and its so easy just to throw on.

I still don't feel that confident in this get up but I am going to visit family today and I feel more comfortable around them.

As I said I am off to visit family today. My cousin has recently brought a house about half an hour away and is having people over as a little house warming. It is starting at 2pm so I will possibly be drunk by 4 especially as he said he has wine! Not good! I always like doing family things, its not often that everyone gets the chance to get together due to people living all over.

Also I have been reading a few blogs recently and people have been taking part in "swaps" with bloggers in different countries. They swap anything really that is only available in their country. I was wondering if anyone wanted to do this with me? My email address is in the contact me tab at the top, just let me know! Its always nice to recieve things in the post that are not bills!

What have you all go planned for the weekend?

You've got to take me out at least once a week

Outfit:

Black and white floral dress: Next

Red long sleeved cardigan: Primark

Black loafers: Primark

Black tights: Marks and Sparks

Black leather stachel: Charity shop

Oversize faux pearl necklace: Primark

Excuse the red eye in the second photo, my mum refused to take any more pictures because she has to watch heartbeat in the telly. Never mind that the episode is 10 years old and she has seen it a million times before!

I spent the last of my uniform allowance at work today and this is one of the two dresses that I brought. Only £28 normally, what a bargain! I'm wearing it out before I wear it to work, always nice to go out for the evening with something new on! I thought i'd jazz it up a bit with a red cardigan, stop it from looking too dull. I'm using my trusty vintage stachel again tonight, honestly the best £6 I have ever spent I use it all the time!

Off out to Pizza Expresss tonight for dinner. My boyfriend is very kindly treating me as he won £30 on the Grand National. I think I have a keeper there! Although I have made sure I have printed off the 2 courses for £10 discount off vouchercodes, nothing I like more than a bargain! It will be such a nice break from all my Uni work I seem to be doing lately athough I am feeling a little guilty about not doing any tonight. Handed in my first draft of my dissertation today so hopefully I won't have too much to change come Wednesday and my tutor will tell me i'm on the right track!

Hope everyone has a lovely evening :)

Summer loving

I have been browsing the internet when I should be in fact doing some dissertation work. First draft in on Thursday eeeeek! But I have completed my other two modules, page numbered and contents paged, so they are ready to be handed in. Also done about 250 words of my dissertation so all in all a pretty successful geeky night!

I do have a point after all that mindless rambling, I stumbled across the new Primark summer collection and spotted this dress.

Oh my I NEED it now. I will find it and it will be mine.

It will be perfect for my holiday (which I have yet to book or even save for but lets forget about that!). I l0ve the beautiful colours and look at the neckline! Its a beaut! The length is perfect, no flashing anyone once I have had a few. Always a plus in my book! Oh and what is the price I hear you say. £17! Who says you can't look good on a budget.

Oh Primark you have certainly upped your game!
