Casual Friday

Happy Friday Ladies!
Welcome to the weekend.
Well, you know when i last spoke to you i said the week was turning out to be a good one, well it kinda took a bit of wrong turn and went from chipper to crapper! My office saw more drama than a Christmas special of Eastenders (for my international friends just think really cheesy soap tv drama) Oh yes it's been a challenge let me tell you. But hey, it's friday and i've just been told,its a bank holiday weekend (is this correct UK people??, if so YIIPPEEE)
So order or the day was casual, effortless and easy....
Before i go straight to pictures, i've been pinning lots of lovely outfits for  inspiration lately,  I'm hoping to do some re-creations possibly once a week,so here's the first! Do you pin? My link to Pintrest is on teh side, would love to know your boards to follow, let me know in the comments below!

Via and pinned on my inspiration board

Coat and bag: Matalan
Boots: Old Next
Shirt: Very old possibly vintage?!
Scarf: Old Primark
Jeggings: Dorothy Perkins
Cat in second photo: My sisters (her names Miss Polly)

It's been a while since i last wore trousers on here and in all honesty it feels a bit weird posting this outfit. Its not my normal outfit but it was very comfy and cosy for a miserable day. The jeggings are my first ever pair, i picked them up from Dotty P's and they are very comfy, my only problem is they attract all kindsa fluff and dust! But on comfort levels, they were right up there with pj's, really they're just posher versions of stretchy pants!
Do you post your comfy outfits or do you just stick with the best of the best, the creme de la creme?
Anyways, wishing you a super lovely weekend, and i'll see you very soon!
xxooxx

Ps
My dress came for the wedding party and it is gorgeous! here's a sneak peak! its even nicer in person, hopefully will show you next week how i styled it.


Take it steady you lovely lot! :)

Guest Postin'

Hey folks

I'm Guest Posting over at the lovely Laura's blog Deliciously Yours, today. Would love you to come see me (so i'm not lonely ;)

"helloooo, wanna come out to play?"

Polka dots, Pinks & Purples

Well Hello lovelies,

That felt like a weird unintentional 4 day absence from blogging. Weather and life kept getting in my way ;)
 So have you all had super nice weekends? Back to the grindstone now is it?

Dress: Dorothy Perkins
Necklace: Old
Shoes: Asda
Cardi: Clothing at Tesco

So i've had this dress about 3-4 weeks and today was it's first outing. I was kinda thinking i'd keep if for a lovely sunny day, and wear it with wedges or converse and a little straw hat. But if i waited for nice weather i could literally wait an eternity! So i've made it fit the weather as best i can. And d'you know what this dress made this girlie rather twirly! it is such a fun, comfy dress i look forward to wearing it many, many times. D'you know my only personal dislike? The attached tie belt. I have a love hate thing for attached tie belts. i can see why they're there but when you tie them up behind you they dig in your back( like when i'm driving!) So i tied it at the front... i attempted a cute bow but apparently i'm incapable of doing cute bows, it just looked sad and pathetic, so i did it round twice and tied a knot. And my second problem is, i like to add my own belt. Like a bright yellow would have been lovely!
But besides that its still in my top ten dresses ;)

This is also my first time with french maid braids on the blog. They're something i've done but never showed on here. For me, if my hair is wet and i have no time, this is the most ideal and practical style! Quick and easy and it gets it out of the way too which i kinda love (you know, when you got kids with sticky hands...!)


Anyway lovelies, i'm off , but have yourselves the best week!

Take care

MONDAY MINGLE

Ditsy flowers & Cherries

Hey lovelies, Hope all's well! I am sooo glad to be over with work for a few days, PHEW its been hard work lately... seriously my lil ol' brain is frazzled (as is my hair it seems!)

I can't concentrate! 

'Cos this lil guy wanted to come out and be in mama's pictures, we had tears and a little red face!

But mama doesnt mind!!

"see daddy i just wanted to be with her"

annndd finish!

Dress: Modcloth

Cardi: Clothing at Tesco

Shoes: Lotta from Stockhom Clogs

Bag: Primark

So these pictures were quickly snapped between stupid heavy showers and at the end of a really long day. Neo was so tired he was stood on the doorstep crying his eyes out, he's a mamas boy that one.  And apparently a grumpy one tonight!

This dress is a beauty, its by Trollied Dolly and is so lovely on. Paul bought it for me for my birthday in December and it was tight, i then put on a few pounds and i could not do the damn thing up! Since i've been healthy eating and watching my calories lately i've managed to comfortably get in to this dress... and i love it. Structured, retro and just plain lovely. I didn't realise until earlier that its actual ditsy flowers and cherries which to me is ridiculously cute!

So technically in my mind it's now the weekend.. do you have any nice plans?  We have Mia's athletics competition, our little runner is about to run her little legs as fast as they can go, we also have my nieces 2nd birthday party and i also plan on trying to visit a local car boot sale, weather permitting! so ye, busy bee's over here! 

Take it easy lovelies and i'll see you real soon
