Note to self: must try harder!

Yet again the blog has been neglected! Mostly because not much has happened but also due to a lack of documenting which I will endevour to correct!


Anyway I have got bits to upload, mostly the visit to my sister in Norwich where we saw the Saturdays!



(Flowery blouse, mustard bf top, blue skinnies)


There are loads of pics from the Saturdays on fb plus my outfit which was in homage to the girls sparkly ensembles:


(pictured with the sis: 80's flower sequin dress, leggings, gold pumps)




I have made some purchases recently and have managed to avoid looking like I stepped out of the 80's, eventhough I love the decade. They will be posted in due course. As I am still completing uni work at home the outfits are a range of loungewear which is not very exciting, but if I do venture outside I will ensure I take a photo!

Oh the pain!

So the plan to start work has been postponed while I uploaded pics from last night and tagged etc. and thought I should post so I don't get a massive back log like I usually do!

Well I managed to have a break from uni work and met my friend Lauren in London on Friday for the usual culture and shopping trip! The obligatory trip to the Tate resulted in me doing exercise of sorts, balancing on boards and hiking up a wooden slope with a rope! It was all rather fun though and I got lots of lovely new things for my wardrobe which will be pictured very shortly as I am very eager to wear them all! ha ha ha!

Friday:


(coral frill blouse, red bf cardigan, nautical blazer, navy skinnies, white pumps)

The reason I am posting so late in the day is because I went to bed rather late last night after dancing my socks off in town! The cocktails were flowing and there were a few good songs. I decided to wear one of my new purchases:


(black cardigan, sequin cap sleeve dress, ankle length leggings, selection of bangles)

Lots of sparkle, just what I like! It was a fun night except for me falling down and grazing both my knees! Oh the pain! and just as the weather is improving. . .

Up and running again!

Yay! just managed to FINALLY upload some pics from last month in Norwich, visiting the sis. Bloody facebook wouldn't let me upload the software but it all seems fine now! Check them out here!

So had a break from uni assignments yesterday and went up to my old high school for a concert given by the band and visiting german students. The outfit looked like an 80's jumpsuit but was in fact black ruched peg leg/hareem pants and a sheer blouse and waist belt:





The trousers, which you can't see in the pic:



They don't look much on the hanger but look brilliant on and are so comfortable!

Another recent purchase was a lovely 60's coral mix dress with origami detailing, see it here!

Good things to come . . . .

I am actually shocked and appalled at how long it has been since my last post! Unfortunately work has taken me over and I am looking rather deshevilled as a result. I will be out and about this weekend so will endevour to post pics and get back on track!

Plus I have ordered a mountain of clothes online so will be able to post pics of my purchases when they arrive! Among them are various pairs of peg leg trousers, a new fav! They remind me of 1950's cigarette pants so will be teaming them with cute little cardigans and pumps for summer.

And so . . . .

The illness rages on, the latest addition is tonsillitus! Cue another trip to the doctors and countless pills to be taken at regular intervals! The funniest bit was when the doctor said "now take it easy and get lots of rest" after sitting on the sofa for over 2 weeks I think I have been taking it rather easy! Just hoping that it is nearing the end now, although I am yet to run out of DVDs to watch. Currently I am making my way through The House of Eliott and still marvelling at the glorious fashion and period scenery.

One takes a trip. . . .

. . . . to the seaside actually and that was at the weekend! I went with mum to pick up the sis from uni and as the weather was passable as summer we ventured to the coast for some sea air! It was all very enjoyable apart from the blustery winds which picked up during the day, leading to a very windswept hairdo!

The main of this week has been spent in bed or melingering on the sofa due to illness. I managed to injure my back last week doing some 'spring cleaning' (i.e. scrubbing all the kitchen cupboards and moving furniture) which resulted in me hobbling around like an old lady all week! Add to that a pounding headache and general illness and it has been a rubbish time. On the upside I have found countless episodes of 'Goodnight Sweetheart' to keep me happy!

Trip to Londonia

Typical, typical! I blog everyday when nothing remotely exciting is happening and then as soon as it does I don't manage to post it! grr! well I will try to keep it going!

Well I was in le capital yesterday to meet a friend, a local infact who took me to all the cool places in the city (vintage shops!) and at one point, where we happened to see a certain T4 presenter looking very nonchalent walking down the road. Anyway I did manage to get a few items which will be snapped in due course. On our travels we ended up outside RBS but I am sad to report that the level of action was practically non existent, in the riot sense anyway!

My outfit:

(navy tea dress, skinnies, coral necklace, gold bangles)
