When does flattery become flirting?

Ordered my new Gok Wan specs today so will be modelling those next week when I pick them up. I can see why they are so popular as they are the only range to offer real style and variety, check them out here!

Whilst at the opticians I was served by a nice young guy but the whole time I was thinking "Is this flirting or flattery?", with him working there it made things blurry. After some thought it made me think of SATC, of Carrie when she meets Burger, saying to her friends that she felt that she was so desperate for a man that she imagined one and that she thought he was flirting until he mentionned his girlfriend, i.e."This whole flirtations in your head!". I'm not in the same situation (I am not desperate for a man) but I do find myself thinking in some situations "Is he just being nice or is this flirting?". Hopefully I'm not the only one?

The mysteries of men aside I tried to take influence from Gabi of YFF and wore this outfit today:

And smile!

Had a very productive morning today: went to the dentist, made an opticians appointment, registered with agencies and got home before lunchtime!

Panda eyes

Woke up with lovely panda eyes today as a result of overdoing the eye make up last night. It always starts off looking good but doesn't end up that way. We ventured out to Nottingham for a friends birthday and stayed up til 5am dancing and drinking cocktails! It was a long night but a great one.

I always have these images in my head of how I want to look and like most things they don't always end up the same. Take last night for example: I wanted to wear loads of gold jewellery with this shirt and jacket but it didn't work out when I tried it on so I had to quickly change and hot foot it out the door, after taking a photo of course:

Earrings: H&M

Jacket: F+F

Necklace: New Look

Shirt: Primark

Jeggings: Evans

Step into summer

Started the weekend early yesterday with a late lunch accompanied by a few drinks and then some more and ending with "Dance on Broadway" on the Wii! Quite a change from my normal Friday of doing the cleaning and generally looking unattractive. As the sun was shining I decided to embrace the weather and ditch the coat:

Sunglasses: ASOS

Necklace: Primark

Tunic: Yours

Jeggings: Evans

Shoes: Topshop

Red nose day

I think this is the first year our family haven't had red noses. The grandmama usually buys them for us but she is mobility challenged this year so we don't have them. Probably just as well as they only end up in a drawer somewhere. I did buy myself a Viv tee, well I had to support Comic Relief (but more importantly support Viv):

Necklace: Primark

Cardigan: New Look

Tee: TK Maxx

Trousers: New Look

Hello Sailor!

Another rare occurance this week: a mid week going out like in ye olde uni days! And we actually went to the local students union! What with the sticky floor filled with discarded cups and bottles it really brought back memories! Especially the bit where my friend and I nearly lost our shoes. . .

The main difference (apart from us lot being golden oldies now) was that all the girls were far more dressy than I remember. When I was at uni nobody really bothered, I even remember going out in a tshirt and jeans after I had been to band practise. Apparently (and not surprisingly) things have moved on so I was glad that I had my sequin jacket, even if it ended up in the cloakroom:

Necklace: Topshop

Jacket: F+F

Top: Evans
