This is probably my favourite outfit that I've put together lately. It's a little smarter than what I would normally wear but still with a few cutesy things thrown into the mix. This soft pink jacket from Warehouse is such a great transitional piece. I'm not ready to don a Winter coat yet so a light jacket like this one is perfect for the current weather. It's very comfy & casual yet helps to dress up an outfit. I'm so glad that I've finally found a nice jacket without shoulder pads because god knows I'm broad enough as it is! I got this blouse from Urban Outfitters last year, it has the cutest crochet collar! Whenever I want a shirt with a pretty collar, UO is the first place I look. This H&M skirt is quite old too but it's still a firm favourite in my wardrobe. I've gone a bit shoe mad lately & bought these Charlotte Olympia kitty flat knockoffs from eBay. I don't think I could ever blow £500 on a pair of shoes no matter how cute they are so I'm quite happy with these dupes. They were only about £8! Although they look amazing, they smell revolting. I got them a few weeks ago but I've not really been able to wear them until now because they just had such a bad chemical scent. They're okay now that I've aired them out though, just beware if you're planning on buying some!

I wore this outfit on Friday to a Macmillan coffee morning. I am definitely not the kind of person who goes to regular coffee mornings as they are basically my idea of hell. It wasn't too bad though as I got talking to some mums from Chloe's new school & it was all for a good cause anyway. I'm trying to spend as little time in the house as possible at the minute as we currently have some wasps living in our ceiling lights! There's a nest next door but the neighbours won't get it treated as it's supposed to be the end of wasp season, ugh. They have been driving me crazy for months & I am starting to question my sanity(!) Filling my living room with Raid every day certainly isn't helping matters. It's been so hard to get any blog posts done as I'm having to kill wasps in between taking photos. So if the quality of my blog has taken a nosedive recently I'm really sorry & hopefully the wasps will leave me alone soon!

Dreaming Of Another World

Vest - Primark / Top - Warehouse / Disco Pants - American Apparel / Jacket - H&M / Scarf - eBay
Necklace - Urban Outfitters / Ring - Regal Rose / Bracelet - H&M / Watch - Michael Kors

Today I wore this outfit for a quick trip to the post office & a mooch round the shops after Rhyme Time at the library. I got this lovely peter pan collar lace top from Warehouse about five years ago and its something I've never wanted to part with. Its so pretty & jazzes up any otherwise plain outfit. I probably shouldn't wear tight high waisted trousers as they just accentuate my huge hips but I still wear my Disco Pants all the time. I bought this little denim biker jacket from H&M last week. I just thought it was cute and makes a nice change from my leather jackets.

If I look a bit moody in these pictures its because my camera was refusing to focus today. All of the functions are controlled via touch screen rather than buttons so I think some settings got changed by accident! I've not really been up to much lately either. I spent pretty much all of last week packing up and posting the forty items I sold on eBay. I ended up making over £300 by selling my old camera, clothes & shoes so I think it was worth all the hours of hell. I did get worried about making a profit after spending over £130 just on postage but luckily it all paid off. Its a pain listing everything rather than putting stuff up on a blogsale but at least you can be sure that things will sell right away, even if its only for 99p. The rest of the time I've been marathoning every season of Rupaul's Drag Race. I am so obsessed with it. I wish I could be as half as fabulous as these fierce fishy queens. I kinda fancy trying out a drag makeup look, is that weird? I have so much respect for their extreme contouring skills. I even got up early today so I could watch the episode shown in America last night. Does anyone else watch it? I'm backing Jinkx Monsoon to win this season. She was brilliant as Little Edie!

Little Fille

Hairbow - Little Fille
Denim Shirt - Topshop
Vest - Warehouse
Leggings - H&M
I've been lusting after a Little Fille hairbow for yonks now. I finally caved and bought one from the S/S 2011 collection. Its called Molly and is a gorgeous coral coloured two-way headband with an ultrasuede bow. The other side features some beautifully knotted cord. It was a bit pricier than say your average Topshop headband at £31 including postage. Its totally worth it though because of the wonderful craftsmanship that has obviously gone into it as well as the quality of the materials. I normally hate touching anything made of suede but the suede bow on this is incredibly soft and generally rather lovely.

I wore this yesterday to a baby group in the library. I feel like I have to dress down a bit for these meetups as everyone else is just wearing leggings and a t-shirt. Couldn't resist wearing my bow though! Think people are beginning to wonder how I always show up with a full face of makeup. I do it for their sake more than my own as I'm sure they'd be put off speaking to someone with a mug as ugly as mine!
