Last chance saloon

We eventually arrived in Hull on Friday afternoon with a car boot full to bursting with outfits and unessessary items as it turned out! Not much time to relax as we went off to meet the bridal party in Chiquito's for a lovely dinner. Our personal wedding presents were well recieved and a welcome change from the glass crystal and other sentimental gifts.

In my attempt to travel light I actually forgot to take some nice cardigans for the cool weather. I had to improvise with my lace jacket:

Jacket: H&M

Dress: River Island

Leggings: Yours

"In the event of a fire"

Don't ask me! Spent the whole of today being bombarded with Health and Safety information so my brain is completely fried now. At least it's the end of my work week.

Now that I'm a working girl I am trying not to wear dresses everyday for work and attempt to mix it up and keep my look "fresh". Today's outfit was a nod to Grease and those Pink Ladies:

Cardigan: Primark

Dress: River Island

Tee: H&M

Necklace: Primark

Leggings: F+F

Jai ho: aftermath

Am really pleased to say that we got amazing feedback from friends and family who came to the show last night! Everyone said how good it was and commented on costumes, acting, dancing etc. There were even a couple of people who said it was thought provoking and they discussed it on the way home! What a compliment! We obviously did our job!

Spent most of today trying not to fall asleep at my desk and stop yawning but it was a challenge. Eventhough the show finished relatively early last night by the time I had helped pack up and load and unload the car at home (and post!) it was late. What made it even worse was that I had to finish writing my report today and not get distracted (which is hard when you are tired!). I made it through the day and there was some relief at lunchtime when I met up with friends and enjoyed lunch in the sunshine, and one of the good things about working in Leicester.

Outfit choice was quick this morning as I had to be ready on time for the ma. Decided on colour and the super comfy ridged leggings:

Sunnies: F+F

Cardigan:F+F

Horse brooch: River Island (actually from the dress)

Leggings: F+F

Bag: ASOS

The end of Jai ho!

After months of hard work, blood, sweat and some tears East Side Kahani came to the Loughborough Town Hall. It was a success! Admittedly there were a few hiccups and it wasn't perfect but we did our best! Not so much an outfit post tonight, rather a snippet of me backstage:

Feel the love

For my new jacket! I've been looking for a thin jacket that could be worn casually or dressed up and found this beauty in H&M last week:

Lace jacket: H&M

Long shirt: Evans

Belt: H&M

Jeggings: Dorothy Perkins

Brogues: Primark

Bop to the top!

After all the action last night I forgot to post my outfit! On the first day at work I asked them about dress code and they said "use your initiative, not jeans, dressy for visits". They also said that they might bad an eyelid if I turned up in fancy dress. . . . . . . well I am a fancy dresser so whatevs! A quick change yesterday saw my wearing a blue dress that I now think does resemble the one worn by Sharpay in HSM for the number "Bop to the top"? See what you think here and then look at this:

Maybe not quite as ruffly or sequined (which is a shame) but there is a slight resemblence I think.

Cardigan: Topshop

Necklaces: New Look and vintage

Dress: H&M

Leggings: F+F

Boots: Schuh

Half way

It's officially mid week and I'm flagging. Just had another rehearsal for the show, only 6 days to go until curtain up! This showbiz lark sure is hard work! It's not all singing and dancing you know!

The unpredictable British weather had me all confused today, what with the rain and then sunshine and the warmth and then more rain and black clouds! Yikes! Decided to layer and wear tights:

Cardigan: Dorothy Perkins

Stripy tee: Peacocks

Necklaces: Primark and sister's Mardi Gras party beads

Skirt: Primark

Tights: F+F

Shoes: Schuh
