This is something that's completely not my style yet I love it. I decided to take the plunge and embrace the dipped hem trend after spotting this dress in the New Look sale for only a tenner. I wore this to a wedding reception last week and have never really felt more Essex my life. With my fake tan and gold jewellery I think I did my county proud! The necklace was a car boot find and it's the perfect piece to wear under collars. Car boots are fab places to find unique jewellery and it's always so cheap too - this necklace was only a £1!

How is your week going so far?

A snapshot #16

001. I'm getting quite good at this baking lark. Instead of buying clothes i've been buying cookbooks and pots. I think I must have been abducted by aliens...

002. First piece of holiday shopping for a holiday I haven't booked! I couldn't resist this bikini for only £5 in ASDA. Tempted to go back and buy the other colours. I think we are going to go to Morocco this year, we've found a lovely hotel and will hopefully book it in June. Trying to leave it as late as possible in the hope the price will go down!

003. I'm getting well into the Jubliee spirit of things and have been snapping out bits and pieces, Granted I don't need the bits and pieces but i'm a sucker for themed things. These cake tins were a buy from Sainsbury's and will give my scones a good home when I get round to making them.

004-005. I finally got to pay Meat Market a visit when I went to a event (more on that in the week!). I went with a couple of my blogging favourites Hannah and Lily as well as the lovely Aisling and Elodie. I went for the Double Bubble and it was absolutely amazing. The burger was massive and it tasted divine. It was like a heart attack on a plate - which is the reason it was so nice ha!

I put one foot forward and ended up thirty yards back.

This is what i'm wearing to work today to my retail job. The shirt is a new buy on uniform and it's safe to say i'm in love. The collar completely captured my heart and I had to have it! Since i've been losing weight i've started to get my confidence back and am finding myself more and more drawn to wearing trousers. I've always loved how effortless trousers look but have always been too scared to wear them. Child bearing hips do not like trousers! These are without a doubt the most comfortable pair of trousers I have ever worn and I don't have to wiggle to pull them on. Result!

Going down to visit my grandad for dinner today and i've been a very good grandaughter and baked him a treacle tart. Although i'm not too sure it'll be that nice as the pastry is a bit thin and it blistered! Still it was only my first go and I now know I need to invest in some baking beads.

Have you got much planned or are you having a lazy day?
