Lusting over Dixi

Dixi is one of those brands that came to my attention through reading blogs. I find out about so many wonderful brands that would never have been on my rader - one of the many things I love about blogging. This is just a little sneak preview of what's to come. Exciting eh?

I was immediately drawn to the rings. Like a magpie I love anything big and eye catching. A statement ring can really make or break an outfit which probably explains why my dressing table is overflowing with them!

The arrows and skulls make me want to embrace my inner rock chick while the brown boots would be perfect in the winter for work. It's all about looking fashionable AND comfortable!

The great news is Dixi is offering a special and exclusive discount code which is running until the 9th September - you better hurry up and make some decisions! You just have to spend over £15. The code is : UPDATEMEFS

What's cooler than bein' cool?

Outfit:
Black 3/4 length t-shirt - Next
Hot pink pleated midi skirt - H&M
Pony skin Dalmatian print slipper shoes - Next
Long cameo necklace - Random boutique

This is a typical work outfit - i.e. a t-shirt tucked into a midi skirt. Nothing too exciting but it helps me feel like i'm making some effort going into work. Not too smart for a fairly casual office but smart enough to be working in the city. I brought this skirt months ago for just £7.99 - full price! - and have only really just started to get use out of it after losing some weight. It was one of those skirts that had to go over your head as it wouldn't go past your bum. It was happening to a lot of my clothes ha! These shoes may look pretty but they ripped my feet to shreds by the end of the day. I think they may need some wearing in! Excuse the exposed bra strap I didn't notice until I uploaded them! If i'm looking a bit bleary eyed it's because these at half 7 in the morning. Came to the conclusion that my outfit posts are better when I do them in the evening haha!

I'm off on holiday on Monday - I don't think i've mentioned it enough! I'm going to try and get a few posts scheduled for the two weeks but it might not happen! If things are a little quiet over the next few weeks you know why!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend! I'm off to Brighton tomorrow as the boyfriend booked a night in a hotel before we fly out from Gatwick. He's a keeper eh? See you all in two weeks!

It's all a bit of fun 'til someone gets done

Outfit:
Blue jersey blazer: C/O Glamorous
Floral patterned skinny trousers: Primark
Black vest top: Primark
Patent platform pumps: Primark
Red plastic watch - Toywatch
Gold ball statement necklace - Topshop

I was very kindly sent this blazer from Glamorous along with my lovely top but have only just have the chance to blog about thanks to a broken camera. But that's not to mean I haven't been wearing it! I picked in with the mindset to wear it to work because let's face it blazers really are the perfect workwear - they can smarten almost anything up. I love the soft material of this blazer and vibrant colour immediately brightens an outfit up. We need all the help we can get to brighten up this gloomy weather! It's pretty lightweight too which is handy on the tube. It can be completely freezing in the outside world yet like a sauna underground.

In other news i'm off to sunny Bulgaria on Monday for two blissful weeks in the sunshine. I can't wait to top up my tan and do nothing but drink cocktails, read books and stuff my face. I've only been working full time for about a month but it's really taken it out of me. I survive on so little sleep recently after burning the candle at both ends so i'm looking forward to getting up at my leisure.

How have you all been? Hopefully i'll be blogging a lot more recently - i've really missed it! I've got lots of catching up to do!
