Sorry for the squinty eyes, it was so sunny yesterday and when I tried to take the photos at the other end of the garden they looked over exposed!

This is what I wore yesterday to attend two BBQs! Yes two, I have now overdosed on meat and do not want to eat another burger in the foreseeable future! The maxi dress and sandals are from last summer. The dress was a complete bargain, I brought it in the River Island sale reduced from £50 to £10! It is a bit tent like but its so comfortable. Perfect for days when im stuffing my face! I am so excited to be pulling out my summer clothes, it feels like I have a whole new wardrobe!

If you follow me on twitter you will be aware that I have managed to get an internship! I am so excited, so much so that I think I phoned everyone in my phone book on Friday to tell them the good news. I will be working for a parenting website based in North London. I will finally be a city girl, I have only ever wanted to work in the city so even though it will only be for 3 months I am going to be achieving one of my dreams! It is based right next to a shopping centre which can only mean bad news to be honest. Hello no more wages! I will still keep my job in retail at the weekends so I won't be completely skint. I also get a little bit of money from the internship so really I will not be any worse off. Still earning the same amount of money. I will be starting either this week or next, eeeeek cannot wait!

I recieved my naked skincare goodies yesterday and they all smell so nice! I love the packaging, it was obvious a lot of time and effort went into it! I used the shampoo and conditioner this morning and am going to try out the hair mask later on in the week. I am going to do a review of the hair mask but if you want reviews of any of the other products just let me know!

What did everyone else get up to over the weekend? Anyone used Naked skincare before?

Take your shoes off and I will throw them in the lake

Outfit:
Floral patterned navy dress: New Look
Red chunky knit cardigan: Primark
Navy tights: Primark
Navy pumps: Primark
Pearl tassle necklace: Miss Selfridge
Nautical ribbon pearl earrings: River Island via a bootsale

My mum was being David Bailey in the middle photo and making me laugh hence why my face looks funny!

This is one of my comfort outfits. Gone for the combo of blue and red yet again! I have had the dress years, brought it on a whim when I had my first work experience placements. I was working just off Chancery Lane which is far too close to Oxford Street than is healthy. I went a bit crazy in those two weeks and spent £200 on clothes, a whole months wages. Yep I have no self control. I have this cardigan in black and tan too. For £7 it seemed like the perfect idea to buy it in all the different colours! It is so warm and cosy and saved me from wearing a jacket when I ran into town to do some errands.

I recieved the 30 day shred in the post today and am going to try it tomorrow. Dreading it to be honest but needs must. I am fed up of moaning about my weight and decided to do something about it. I was going to start it tonight but am going to jazzacise later on and I don't think my body will cope with both! I have lost 2 pounds since my healthy eating programme kicked into place last week. I am so happy, its given me the motivation to carry on.

I ordered some naked skincare products thanks to a groupon voucher. I haven't try any of their products before but have heard good things! Have any of you tried them? Would you be interested in reviews?

Hello to my new followers :) I am on twitter if you ever fancy a chat.

Put your best foot forward

I am still alive. My apologies for neglecting blogging. I have had a hell of a week which included two interviews, brownie camp and filling out various job applications. Hopefully this week will be a little calmer.

In the hope that I will get a job, perferably one that pays me please, I am looking at getting together a working wardrobe. I am under the illusion that in order to work in the city I must wear a heel. A week in commuting may shatter this but for now I need some affordable heels/wedges. Enter Matalan.

White espadrille wedges - £16

As summer is coming up I want to invest in lots of maxi dresses and skirts for the office. I think they are conservative enough for work yet fashionable enough not to be considered a frump. As hopefully I will be working on a magazine I need to look the part. White goes with everything hence why these are a winner. I love an espadrille for the summer and the wedges means they won't be mean to my feet. These might just have to be a purchase come payday.

Tan cork wedges - £14

Tan is another colour that is perfect for summer and goes with everything. These will help to give me some height whilst still allowing me to have some comfort. Hopefully.

Brown lace up peep toe heels - £20

I am a sucker for a peeptoe, I just think they look so elegant. These would look fab poking out from underneath a maxi dress. I much prefer brown to black in the summer, it looks less harsh. Again these might accidently find themselves in my basket come payday. Please god let me have a good month!

Cream flat moccasins - £12

These are perfect for the days where my poor feet need some relief. I have a cunning plan to wear flats on the tube and then stash them in my handbag on the way to office. Who's to know I haven't been wearing them all day?

Lace up desert boots - £14

Ok so these will not be suitable for work. But I love them! I have been lusting after a pair of desert boots for ages. They are only £14! They are the best summer boot. I just need a reason to justify buying them!

I have not been sponsored for this post, I just liked what I saw!
