Not quite Mary Poppins

No fancy clothes or jewellery today as I was babysitting baby Michael while his mummy attended a meeting. He is absolutely gorgeous with white blond hair and bright blue eyes and is very wriggly! I only had him a few hours but was exhausted, no idea how I would cope as a full time mum! So no best clothes incase they got covered in baby sick but something colourful:

Cardigan: Primark

Dress: Dorothy Perkins

Belt: Primark

Jeggings: Dorothy Perkins

The day we took a detour and Nadia got a job!

Yes you read that right I have got an actual, bona fide job!!! It was the interview I went for yesterday for Leicester City Council working in their Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Hopefully I will get lots of free tickets for the Curve and other events in Leicester and it will be terribly interesting for me. I have already begun planning a celebratory meal out this weekend with friends, just need to get the outfit sorted then the party can start!



In other news I took Elvis on a longer than planned drive today as I managed to miss the turning on this MASSIVE roundabout and we ended up in Castle Donnington and taking a detour sightseeing before coming back. The plus side was that Elvis said that I handled the situation well and didn't resort to usual Nadia style which is to panic.



This bout of hot weather does suggest that Summer is fast approaching and so out come the summery clothes:

Gold sequin cardigan: Primark

Longline top: Dorothy Perkins

Jeggings: ASOS

Another day, another interview

The one today was to work for Leicester County Council in the Department for Culture, Media and Sport so right up my street (apart from the sport bit but you can't have it all!). It seemed to go well but you never can tell so not getting my hopes up just yet.

Whilst my wardrobes are crammed with clothes my downfall is smart clothing, trying to look smart but retain a sense of "me". In the end I decided on my polka dot dress and white shirt for today:

Dress: Next

Shirt: Dorothy Perkins

Belt: H & M

Bracelet: Miss Selfridge

"Born to hand jive baby!"

How low can you go?

It was as close as you can get to time travel last night as some friends and I donned 70's get up and shimmied over to Flares in Nottingham. (Incase you don't know it's a 70's themed club). We spent the night doing the twist, the hand jive and generally having a groovy time! The outfits were a plethora of flower power, folksy and glam rock:

It's not hard to guess which one I picked: glam rock of course!

Sequin beret: New Look

Scarf: Primark

Beads: Ebay

Jacket: M & S

Sequin dress: F + F

Bangles: Accessorize

Tights: Tesco

Silver brogues: Primark

"And so to bed"

An early start this morning which means an early night for me! I finally managed to wear my new but old vintage dress today, which has been waiting in my wardrobe for the right occasion:

Cardigan: H & M

Dress: Vintage fair

Belt: Primark

Bracelet: Primark

Shoes: Schuh

"Does your mother know that you're out?"

She does indeed and she knows that I will be out on Saturday night, actually lighting up the dancefloor at Flares in Nottingham, a 70's themed club so fancy dress will be required.

A non productive day as my body has decided to cause me pain and strife so stayed in bed for most of it recovering from Saturday night and trying to get rid of the lingering illness. I did venture out to the post office to return some ill fitting items to ASOS and found a top that my sister had left behind so tried that on for size and it fits:

Sunglasses: H & M

Cardigan: F + F

Tee: Urban Outfitters

Bracelet: H & M

Jeans: New Look

Brogues: Primark

"There's got to be a morning after"

The sister's party was a roaring success! Nearly everyone who came was fully dressed up and entered into the spirit of the party. I had such fun mingling and meeting more medics, am working my way round the entire student body of the 5 years! The plan not to drink very much inevitably went out the window once the party got into full swing and was suffering today. Not good when you have to be alert to travel and change trains but it is the sign of a good party.

I was not in the mood to compose a creative outfit as such today so just went for comfy clothing to travel in. Also was not prepared AT ALL for the warm weather we had during the weekend so the outfit was very much cobbled together:

Cardigan: Dorothy Perkins

Lace top: Primark

White tank: H & M

Jeggings: ASOS

Shoes: Office
