Post Secret Smiles
Sunday 7th February 2010 - Write a comment
Pretty much every Sunday without fail I check the Post Secrets blog for the weekly update of anonymous secrets, and have done since I was at school around 4/5 years ago. This morning as I waited for the bus to work I saw these secrets and they made me smile so much, as well as putting me in such a great mood that lasted all day. I hope that they bring a little of the joy into your life that it did mine,

Outfit Post
Sunday 7th February 2010 - Write a comment
So here it is, my first outfit post! It’s been a while since I first said I would do it, and I thought I would make good on my promise, as nosing at other peoples outfits is my favourite part of blogging. I look a bit ragged as I’ve been at work since 11am this morning – on a Sunday, it should be a crime. However my cardigan is brand new, I took back a playsuit today I hadn’t worn and swapped it over for this little number. I’ve been searching for a khaki over-sized cardigan for a while and this beauty is just the ticket. Apologies for the terrible quality of the images too,
Cardigan – Topshop
Lace Dress – TK Maxx
Tan Belt – Primark
Tan Brogues – Topshop
Ring – H&M
Hair Flower – H&M
Initial ‘R’ Necklace – Rock N Rose

A Scottish Saturday
Saturday 6th February 2010 - 2 Comments
Last week was spent in Edinburgh seeing my man friend Dean and best friend Charlie. I had a brilliant time and we all partied quite hard, the after effects I am feeling now with a chesty cough thats keeping me up at night and grabbing for my asthma inhaler, brilliant. Despite this it was so totally worth it, as was the 9 hour bus journey there and back, and loosing a band card. Oh well.
While in Scotland we travelled over to Glasgow to see Jamie.T which blew my mind as I’ve repeated about 92938 times already. Being rubbish as I am, I only have a wind on film camera, bar my SLR, which I stupidly forgot to pack, so I only took pictures on my last day in Edinburgh. The pictures below need a bit of explaining!
The sailor dress up ones are from a childhood museum we went too, and the pirate one from a science museum we visited the same day, both of which were mega fun with lots of interactive installations. We also planned a walk up St Arthurs seat, which is a plugged volcano (no really, I didn’t believe it either at first) however it was too cold/dark every time we got there. The rest are from Saturday night at The Hive, affectionately named The Dive, which is the club where Dean and I first met. I ask you to excuse my appearance in these pictures, I was very ill the next day and don’t think I have ever been so away as I was that night. Ever. It was truly epic to behold I am sure haha,

Topshop Flower Rings
Saturday 6th February 2010 - 2 Comments
I found these little beauties on the Topshop blog Inside-Out. The blog has some really awesome features on what the brand has coming up and little nuggets of goodness they’ve found along the way. Im not sure which of these rings I love the most, every colour has it merits! Possibly blue or green, but most likely the pink will be my ring of choice, perhaps it will be easier to decide once they hit the shops in a few weeks or so, loving how H-U-G-E they are too, what a statement piece!

New Look Skater Dress
Friday 5th February 2010 - Write a comment
I will admit that I am not the biggest New Look fan. While they do good knock offs of high street hits, I would rather have the ‘real thing’ as the fabric, print and design are what made the originals so hot in the first place. The exception to this rule has just floated into my life via these skater dresses. I have two different floral ones from Topshop that I adore and wear all the time, however these more basic versions are perfect for dressing up with patterned tights and layered jewels. At only £16 each their cheap enough to be able to afford a few, or if your feeling flash, all five!
Find them on the New Look Website,

TK Maxx Putney
Friday 5th February 2010 - Write a comment
Last night I attended an evening hosted by the lovely people at TK Maxx. A bloggers event in Putney Bridge to show us around their sparkling store which has a very boutiquey and homely feel. With lots of lovely products such as the Luella bag above to the normal rails of bargains to rummage through the Putney store will still have that TK Maxx touch that its shoppers adore, while adding in some lady like touches for a more enjoyable shopping experience. My favourite part about the store is the huge red stalls around the shop that give shoppers the chance to take a well earned rest and the lovely chandeliers they have placed around the store.
I took my housemate and friend Michelle along to the bloggers evening last night and took quite a few snaps which you can see below (Im in the blue flowery dress). It was great to meet some of the lovely TKMaxx team as well as enjoy the free champagne and canapes that were doing the rounds. We were also given a chat on the key trends the store will be using for Spring/Summer 2010, including some of the key items they have, all of which were so pretty!
The Putney Bridge store opens tomorrow, Saturday 6th February, with more champagne and canapes for customers. The Powerpuff girls will also be on hand to give beauty makeovers and manicures so its an event not to be missed!
However if you can’t get down to the store check out the TK Maxx website for more fashion bargains,

Mulberry Ruby Bayswater
Thursday 4th February 2010 - 2 Comments
Innocently, I was flicking through one of my housemates copies of More magazine while snacking on a round of scrambled eggs on toast this evening when I discovered this. Neatly snugged into the elbow of one Pixie Lott, this bag honestly makes me whimper. I’ve never really ‘got’ the whole Mulberry Bayswater thing, although that adorable ‘Alexa’ satchel is also fairly amazing. However the Ruby Bayswater is in a league of its own. I’ve been pandering for a pale/nude pink bag for quite a while, and this soft leather number with big bow is too perfect for words. I have always considered saving up for designer hangbag, and this little lady may be the one. I’ll let you know in seven-hundred-and-ninety-five-pounds time,
