It's always a plus when you think you can't fit in anything anymore and by some miracle it fits when you put it on! Exactly what happened with this playsuit. This outfit is old. The playsuit is about two years old and I brought the jacket with the wages of my first job. £45 is a lot of money when your 15 and only earning £12 a week! I don't think i'll ever chuck it out purely for that reason!

Off out tonight down my nan's local working men's club that she's been going down every saturday night for the past 40 years. Her birthday is the day after mine on Tuesday so she orders a plate of sandwiches the saturday before at the club and all the family trots down there for the evening. Always nice to have a bit of family bonding!

Hope everyone has a lovely evening!

Dream shoes

I have been thinking and decided that from this freelance contract I want to buy something special. I finally want to own my first piece of designer that I have paid with using my own hard earned pennies. I am not the best saver so the Mulberry Bayswater is out of the question at the minute, i'd rather go on holiday 5 times this year to be honest. I have decided on a pair of Vivienne Westwood + Melissa Lady Dragons. Ideally the red below is my ideal pair but they are out of stock in my size so they may just be a distant dream.

Red Vivienne Westwood + Melissa Lady Dragon Vi - £123.50

Pink glitter Vivienne Westwood + Melissa Lady Dragon Vi - £123.50

Pink Vivienne Westwood + Melissa Lady Dragon Vii Sp Ad- £143.70

Hopefully by the end of May a pair of these beauties will be mine.

Do you own any Vivienne Westwood or Melissa shoes?

Don't you know i'd chop a limb off just to have a good time

Outfit:

Seaside print blue dress: Primark

Chunky cream cardigan: C/O Joe Browns

Grey tights: Primark

Grey pumps: Primark

Nail: OPI Strawberry Margarita and No7

Pearl and diamond ring: 21st Birthday gift

Not perhaps the most wintery looking outfit but surprisingly warm with my massive faux fur coat thrown on. This is one of my favourite dresses, I adore the print and colours. A bargain at £12 back when Primark used to be dirt cheap. Think it's from a few seasons ago. I tried an accent nail manicure today and really like the two colours together even if my mum thought I was mad having one nail a different colour. After looking at these photos I am not quite sure my legs are ready for coloured tights, look a bit of a chunky monkey haha! Ah well hopefully if I stick to my diet I shall be half a stone lighter by the end of the month. Wishful thinking!

If you follow me on Twitter you'll already have heard my amazing news. I have been offered a six month freelance paid journalism contract at the company where i'm currently interning! Someone actually believes in me to pay me for my writing! I am completely over the moon and in shock that I will actually be a proper journalist and no longer an intern. Fingers crossed i'll impress and there is the work there for the contract to be extended when it finishes in July. I have a list as long as my arm of things I want to buy and places I want to go. Hopefully this will start with a visit to Aberdeen to see a friend in March! It will be so nice not to be skint for a little while and know I have at least six months worth of money.
