Mint, Nude and Cupcake Jeans (Yep, cupcake is a colour)

 Today i am dressing for Spring regardless of the fact its grey and rainy and cold, thank god for dreamy pastel knitwear like this super old minty sweater. I have had this about 3 years and hardly ever wear it, shame on me! But today was it's day, keeping me warm against the chilly weather but remaining still lovely and colourful.
And these jeans are juuusstt dreamy, they are from the lovely people at Great Plains who recently allowed me to pick a piece from their spring collection, i went for these wonderful jeans in the colour cupcake! how cool is that? The colour cupcake is so yummy i could literally eat it, with faded edges, vibrant colour and lots of stretch these are my new favourite jeans and are packed to come with us on our little family holiday this week to Cornwall.. i can't wait!
Have you seen the gorgeous new collection at Great Plains, I'm crushing on the Tuscany Dress, can you imagine this dress in summer, sunglasses on, cocktail in hand... dreamy!

Cupcake Jeans: c/o Great Plains

Mint Sweater: F&F (very old)

Bow Trench: Next (very old)

Mint Bag: Modcloth (old)

Nude Shoes: c/o Lotus

So whats your thoughts on coloured jeans? Do you love or loathe? And what colours are you craving? I am after a parma violet/lilac pair next! I find they are perfect for British springs..cold yet still colourful!

Sidenote: My feet have been a little out of action lately after a blister turned naassty and went all infected on me from wearing-in some pretty new shoes (#fbloggerproblems...jeez!) i'm on antibiotics and it looks like they don't have to amputate(lol)
So here just put these nude heels on for photos, i have been a flipflop walking disaster for 4days! I have just discovered blister plasters too (tmi, teehee ) so they are helping to ease myself back in to full on actual shoes.
But fellow #fbloggers let this be a a lesson i have learned for us all;
 Do not go for a 4 mile walk in pretty new shoes.

Hello lovelies, and how are we? Good, yes?
Well Mondays rolled round once again as quick as ever!
I managed to get out this weekend to Hobbycraft to stock up on some bits that i need for some crafty plans. Last night i went to bed and crafty goodness was whirling round and round in that lil brain of mine and i'm feeling totally inspired right now! I just want to get my teeth in to a good productive project or two. I'm looking forward to autumn coming by and picking up where i left off last year on the crochet and knitting front too, for some reason these seem like winter sports to me. Summer i just cant seem to pick up those needles. Strange...
I've never been a crafty gal so im really enjoying these new skills im picking up along the way and new hobbies to entertain my over active mind. Only problem is, finding time. I dont even know where im supposed to pluck that from?! Answers on a postcard...please!?!

Lips top: Old originally Dorothy Perkins but i got it from Ebay about 3 years ago
Jeans: F&F Tesco
Shoes: Lotta
Cardi: Super old from Topshop
Bag and belt: Matalan
Necklace: Vintage
Glasses c/o: Firmoo

So again this is mostly old. The jeans are from the new range of jeans in at Tesco right now. Obnoxiously pink jeans were missing from my ever growing coloured jeans collections, so added they were and me likey.(ive also added mustard...prepare to see them a lot, I likey them too!)
The top originally had a floppy wierd bow that just didnt sit right. i bought it ages ago on ebay for pennies and then didnt like it, squirreled it away for 2 years, dug it out by complete fluke the other day whilst sorting stuff out and now love it, plus the stupid floppy bow fell off as i was trying it on. This is why i hate getting rid of clothes. Im fickle!
exhibit b to my fickleness: This cardi. This cardi was bought when i was 18 (eeeek nearly 10 years ago:/ ....) its a size 10 and i used to wear it a fair bit. I then got bored of it and gave it to my mum about 3 years ago. She then got some wear out of it and then forgot about it. For some reason i thought to myself the other day, "oh how i miss that thin striped cardi" random, i know. So i text mummy dearest and what d'you know shes a squirreler too and had it at the back of her wardrobe.
Dont get me wrong i can't do it up but it was perfect for a bit of pattern mixing!

This is why im a hoarder hoarderson!! But a happy one!
