A blast from the past




Outfit:
Yellow 50s style dress: c/o Traffic People
Dove blue jelly heels: Vivienne Westwood

I was very kindly gifted this beautiful retro dress when I attended the Traffic People press day before Christmas. If i'm honest this is dress couldn't be more perfect for me if it tried. It incorporates my favourite era, it's my favourite type of length, it has sleeves and it's in my favourite colour. Any dress that I can swish about in like a lady gets the thumbs up from me! I don't often wear yellow despite it being my favourite colour like I said but it just instantly makes me feel happy. It reminds me of warmer climates - sunshine isn't something we get often in England! This dress was absolutely brilliant to take away on holiday to Turkey last week.

Has anything from Traffic People caught your eye?

If you're anything like me, come the second week of payday you're as poor as a pauper and have to stay in and stare at the four walls for the remaining of the week. So when Blinkbox got in touch with me and aksed if I was interested in reviewing some films I jumped at the chance. Watching movies online is a great way to save some money. Along with some cinema worth snacks - pizza and chips and dip for me - it can make staying in on a friday night a lot more exciting.

Turkey 2013







After getting back from a week long trip to Turkey I feel like I need another holiday. Isn't that always the way?! Last week I spent seven days in the bosom of my family - my mum, dad, nan and boyfriend -  for my mother's 50th birthday. With beautiful weather - i'd forgotten what 30 degree sunshine feels like - it was the perfect place to wind down and relax. I've got to be honest I didn't really do a lot apart from a few afternoon trips and sleeping. One day I reckon I must have slept for about 17 hours on and off. I turned into a sloth it seemed! Bodrum is a lovely place full of character. It's just a shame it doesn't have a beach but the jetty soon made up for that. After consuming enough food and alcohol to look nine months pregnant, i'm already counting down the days until my next trip to Ireland!

How have you all been keeping since i've been away? Will I be seeing anyone at the Rush Hair event tonight?
