ASOS lovin!



Another busy weekend spent catching up with friends and partying! I'm so thrilled with this ASOS curve dress as it went down, down, down in the sale from £150 to £30! It is really heavy and I spent the night worrying that I was leaving a trail of beads around Nottingham but it seems fine.

Hanging on the telephone




Just about recovered from yesterday! Went with the guys to Splendour in Nottingham, a one day festival featuring Blondie and Scissor Sisters! I was so excited I could hardly contain myself and once I saw Debbie harry onstage I didn't bother! I was screaming so much I nearly lost my voice! She was awesome, such a true performer as were Scissor Sisters. So much energy and rapport with the audience.


I was a proper mummy yesterday making loads of sandwiches and crudites so we had a really healthy picnic. We also managed to avoid getting burnt by a last minute call from my granny to remind me to take suncream! It would have been bad, especially as I was wearing an off the shoulder top. I decided to put the sequins on and get into the festival spirit:

There's a place for us

Just came in this evening and straight away I was sashaying around my bedroom and hmming to myself. I was at the Curve seeing West Side Story, thanks to a friend. If anyone remembers this is the amateur production that I auditioned for earlier this year and didn't get into. Seeing the girls being spun around tonight I think I had a lucky escape, or the guys did! The show was a great success, not 100% perfect but then this was amateurs.


As mentionned before I have been watching SATC on a loop and imagine myself drifting around in prom dresses and ostentatious outfits so when picking an outfit for tonight I decided to really dress up and not give a damn! I saw that a couple of fellow bloggers that mentionned their blue velvet Beth Ditto which reminded me about mine and so I decided to wear it:

Somewhere, beyond the sea


There are some moments from SATC that stay with me always. Sayings such as "I haven't worn it yet, someday I will" and "some clothes wait a lifetime to be worn". I know that the storylines are hardly those of great writing but I do echo some of the sentiments. They were true of today's outfit which included a nautical inspired top that is truely random but I saw it in a vintage shop and had to have it.


It was the grandmama's birthday today and we took her to Pilling's Lock near us for lunch. I already had an outfit picked out but this morning decided to completely dress up and embrace the saling theme and put on this vintage gem:

Dinnertime

For the past few days I have been in bed with a bad cold/flu type of thing so today I took things easy and went out for an early dinner with some friends. With the heat I decided to wear my new trews, which are not at the height of fashion but I think that they can be stylish given the right outfit:

Summer attire



With summer in full swing and all this humid weather I looked in the Narnia that is my wardrobes to get out my summer clothes from last year, when it occurs to me that none of it is suitable for work seeing as it consists of dodgy shorts and vests. So on a trip to town yesterday I searched everywhere to look for some more acceptable clothing. I have to say that I was not overly impressed but did get a few things, mostly linen crops from Evans and a dress from Dorothy Perkins which I wore today:
