Happy Birthday Mum

Outfit:
Floral tea dress: Topshop via a charity shop
Navy tights: Primark
Navy faux suede courts: Primark

I am not quite a 100% sold on this outfit. The first thing my boyfriend said when he saw me was that I looked like a teacher. Is that a bad thing? In otherwise do I look frumpy? I think maybe it is the length, its actually from the tall range so that might be why its a little long. Although I am 5ft 8 so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. I might chuck this onto the ebay pile. Oh well it will do for tonight!

I found this a few weeks ago in a charity shop and only just got round to wearing it. I originally brought it because of the longer length and thought it would be suitable for a "proper" job. Bum skimming dresses don't quite seem right for a professional. I picked out the navy flowers and chose to wear navy tights and courts. Not had time to have a shower before i'm off out so thrown it up in a bun. Looks quite nice even if I do say so myself, very pleased with how it turned out!

I am off out for dinner tonight to the local noodle bar as it is my mums birthday. How lucky am I with my parents having a birthday a week apart. Expensive much! I didn't have anything to give her but I am buying her theatre tickets to see the Wizard of Oz at the West End. We just need to decide on a date and then I am booking them!

An oldie of me and the mother. Kinda a bit blurry as its been scanned but how much do I look like her! Its scary how much I look like her when I she was my age! So similar! Thats me as a bubba!


Going to a jumble tomorrow which I am very exciting about! Hopefully the jumble gods will be looking down on me and I will come away with some right bargains!

Wishlist

I have finally handed in my dissertation thank god! So now have all this free time on my hands that I do not know what to do with! I did a few bits and pieces today but still have a list as long as my arm! I have so much to catch up on! Hopefully i'll be able to blog a lot more too!

These are things that I would treat myself to celebrate finishing Uni if I had the money. Alas I do not!

Leopard print platform - Asos
I need these in my life! They are beautiful. I adore the chunky heal and the bow on the front. I just need somewhere to wear them so I can jusitify the purchase.

Black classic Raybans
I have some fake ones that I brought from Turkey a few years ago but the "Rayban" has rubbed off which is rubbish. I would quite like some real ones though please!

Staw floppy hat - Topshop
This will be perfect for the summer. As with everything in Topshop it is overpriced for what it is so I think I am going to look elsewhere for something similar!

Floral sleevless cropped tie shirt - Topshop
I can see myself wearing this with a maxi skirt for the summer. It's such a lovely pattern!

Vivienne Westwood pearl bracelet
I have been eyeing up one of these for a while, I think I might put it on my Christmas list. A tad early I know but you might as well be prepared!

Also I have finally gotten chosen the winner for my giveaway via random.org. I bet you all had forgotten about it eh? So after a extremely long wait the winner is:

Mica aka Flights of Fancy!

Well done! Ill send you an tweet or if you see this before you get an email just email me your address!

A right royal knees up

Yesterday I have never felt more proud to be British. I unshamelessly soaked up every part of Tv coverage there was, getting up at 8 in order to not miss a thing. It did not disappoint in the slightest. The outfits were amazing, I now have a sudden urge to go out and buy the biggest hat I can find. I adored Victoria Beckham's outfit and Tara Palmer Tompkinson's. Zara Phillips looked gorgeous. The Middleton's mother scrubbed up extremely well as mother of the bride. Pippa looked stunning in her bridesmaid dress. But Princess Catherine outshone everyone.

I done a little squeal inside when I realised she had chosen McQueen. Everything about her wedding outfit screamed regal. She really did look fit for a princess. On a more negative note I had imagined my dress to be similiar to this if I ever get married. Going to have to change tactics because I do not want to be labeled a copycat and too be honest I don't think anyone could ever look as breathtaking as Kate. I would not even want to try!

Did anyone think that Prince Harry looked like he wanted to throw up any second. The poor boy looked so nervous, even more so than William. I would loved to have heard Prince Harry's speech. I held my breath when the ring was too stubborn to go on Kates finger. Wills proper pushed it on didn't he, surprised she didnt let out a yelp! Loved it when Harry looked Kate up and down as she walked down to meet William, he blates gave him a little nudge telling him that the boy done good! I swooned when William told Kate that she looked beautiful. Although the kiss was about a second long, it was adorable. I loved Kates little laugh and William tiny little blush. Kate's reaction when she stepped out on that balcony was amazing, wow indeed. They just looked so happy and in love. I think they could go the distance.

Now how do I manage to get my hands on Prince Harry?

Once I hand in my dissertation on Tuesday I am coming straight home and watching it all again on sky +

Did you all enjoy the Royal wedding?
