Two posts in two days, i'm getting better at this blogging lark haha!

Its my dads birthday today and we are off out for dinner later to the Toby. I think it may be my favourite place in the whole world! Here's an oldie of me and my dad :) Things parents do for the kids eh?
I had a little bit of spare money so I wandered into Primark to see what I could find with my money. I swear I never come away from that place empty handed. It's lethal in there. Anyway I have had my eye on this skirt for a little while, they do it in rust too but they didn't have my size so I settle for grey. I also brought a crop top. Yep a crop top. The white stripe is actually white lace. This is one trend I never thought in a million years I would ever get on board with. I don't think I will ever wear it with any flesh showing but I really like it worn with a high waisted skirt. Plus it was only a fiver! I really like this outfit, I think its going to be well worn over the summer. Its so comfy, I feel like I should be walking along a beach in Thailand bare foooted. I have the bare feet but alas no beach.

Not long till another bank holiday! What has everyone got planned for the Royal Wedding?

I'm acting like i'm in an Eastenders episode

Outfit:
Orange floral dress: River Island
Demin pumps: Primark
Cream crocheted cardigan: Topshop

This is what I wore last night.

My nan very kindly sent me £10 for Easter and I already had a £20 credit note from River Island so I treated myself to this dress. I love its such a great length and so comfy. The material is great, does not crease which is always a plus. I feel so summery in it! They have it in yellow too so that might have to be mine come next payday. I have only been paid 6 days and i'm already wishing my next one will come around. My money situation is tragic!

My friend won Wombats tickets in a competition but already had another gig booked so couldn't go. He very kindly gave them to me and my boyfriend. The gig was amazing, so imtimate. It was at the Borderline, just off Tottenham Court Road and must have only had 150 people max. So different to when I saw them last month in Hammersmith. We had seats right up in the gods. Turned out to be quite a random night to be honest which are always the best. We got to London about 7pm and as it was a competition there was no warm up act and the Wombats were on stage at 8pm. Hence we paniced as we were going to find somewhere nice for dinner and ended up in Subway! The gig finished at half 9 and we were going to find a nice pub to go for a few drinks and as we were walking back to the station someone was flyering for Punk. Free entry before 11 and drinks were 2-1. It would have been rude not to have a little nosy haha! There was only about 15 people in there but the music was really good. I think we are going to organise a night there on a Friday as I think it has the potential to be a really good night!

Considering I was suppose to have a quiet weekend, I ended out going out 3 out the 4 nights and have made a massive dent in the wages. Going to have to stay in next weekend haha!

Hope everyone made the most out of your bank holiday weekend!

The sun has got its hat on

Outfit:
White vest top: H&M
Vintage red and white polka dot pleated skirt: Charity Shop
White jelly sandals: River Island
Special edition Royal wedding tote bag: The Body Shop
Red watch: Toywatch
Pearl necklace: Miss Selfridge

Not the best photo today, I am aware I looks a bit rough! I have been up since the crack of dawn and am over heating! I cannot cope in the heat but wanted to show my outfit off today

The vintage skirt is a bargain buy from a charity shop, only cost me £3. I spotted it but due to my severe lack of funds could not afford it. Luckily when I went back a week later it was still there begging me to buy it. Must have been fate ha! It is such a lovely length, I can't wear short skirts with bare legs! I finally brought into the Royal wedding hype. I did have my eye on the Cath Kidston tote but at £10 it was just a little too much. Plus we don't have a shop near and I would have had to pay postage. I am far too much of a skinflint to do that! Luckily this Body Shop one was only £3.50. Going to get a mug sometime next week.

Me and the mother went to a bootsale today and I really did strike it lucky. I came away with a lovely vintage tweed blazer with suede elbow patches and collar for £2, the Office boxset with the Christmas special included for £1.50, Bruce Almighty for 50p and a brand new pair of nautical style pearl earrings from River Island for a £1. Not bad for a fiver!

Just come back from a lovely pub lunch and am hiding out in my bedroom to try and attempt some dissertation work. Its just so hard when its so sunny but I am going to try and get at least 700-800 words completed. Fingers crossed!

Is everyone having a lovely Easter Sunday? Sick of chocolate yet?
