Shifty Sequins.

This creamy sequin number was the basis for my girls night out last night, after umming and awwwing over it on many previous nights out before I finally wore the charity shop find. Everything from the shape to the colour makes this my dreamy dress; muted sequins have been popping up all season and the colour keeps in theme with the under-the-sea pearly trend. The shiftiness kept me weary of too many black accessories as sixties, monochrome dress-up wasn't what us girls were going for, but I find the shape makes the dress much more wearable (given it's completely covered in sequins).

The only grumble I have is the length, so a trusty body con skirt underneath kept my dignity when I boogied on down, nothing out of the ordinary for H&M lengths though really, there bottoms always seem rather short don't they?
 The night with the gals was lovely, many of giggles. Definitely need more of those before the Summer is out! Hope all you girls our having a wonderful weekend and enjoying all the inspirational olympic tv!

Snakeskin Coverup

Howdy gals. It's come back round to my lazy day again, hooray. This will be my last day off before I fly out to see my beautiful friend in Germany, which is all rather exciting, yet still two weeks away ahh, so I've literally surrounded myself with all that I need to do absolutely nothing. It's bliss.

In other news, everyone is back from uni now so I've been going out and catching up with them, it's always lovely to have my favourites back in town. And next time they all go off, I'll be going off too..it's coming round all so quickly.This outfit is one I donned a few nights ago, which started with wine and giggles and ended up with us in an absolutely dire club in town. I sound like the most boring 20 year old ever, but I really just don't enjoy clubbing. Night clubs where you pay something stupid to get in, to not be able to here each other and be grinded by some sleazy, dunken 'lad'. Ew. Don't get me wrong, I love going out and having a jig, but in bars as they just have a much nicer atmosphere. The fact my home town has extremely awful clubs doesn't help my opinion haha.

I love summer evenings when you can just wear a shirt for cover up, balances out the shortness of the playsuit...H&M's dresses and playsuits are always very, very short. Anyone else use that trick to still feel comfortable on a night out? 

Stay dandy,

Black and Blue.

Recently I've donned much more black than usual, perhaps it's because it looks subtly sophisticated and marks a point of maturity, I know two years ago I'd insist on wearing colour as colour is fun. I now realise fun doesn't mean trying to wear the rainbow; personal style is fun, playing with clothes and toying with outfits is fun. So yes, maybe the black is a mark of growth, OR most likely that the weather is getting me wardrobe gloomy. I'm mourning the sunshine haha. 

Anywho, thought I'd show you how I took an outfit from day to night, because sometimes there's just not enough time to faff about with a whole other outfit, right? (lazy girl preach)

For added change, I also popped a lick of the H&M matted coat over my Barry M neon pink nail varnish, and it really reminded me the coloured plastic of pencil cases, strange huh? But I loved the muted fluro look.

I'm off to for charity retail therapy later with my sis, so hopefully will have some bargains to show you guys. Have a wonderful weekend one and all!

Last Night.

Hey all! Hope you are having a wonderful Jubilee weekend! Everyone seems to be having a quintessential  British weekend, with bunting, picnics, tea and union flags galore. I think it's rather warming to see the whole nation pulling together and showing some patriotism, celebrating all things British. Plus I caught the end of the boat pageant yesterday, and the royal family bobbing along to the orchestra was just too sweet. So yes, this long weekend calls for a huge royal jolly, don't you think?

I went out for a bit of a jolly last night and just had to wear this playsuit, I know the weather wasn't really on my side but it's just too pretty to leave on the hanger all week.

The print is what caught my eye at first, then the collar, then I realised it had cut-outs on the waist..and there they were, I had three very good reasons to spend £16 on this beauty. Yep, you read right, only £16! I'm also in love with these boots, I've had them for years but always thought they didn't fit, but recently found some silky pop socks for my huge feet and the shoes slipped on a treat. In fact they are by far the comfiest heels I've worn,and not too high either (a bonus for the boyf).

Have a jolly Jubilee sweeties!
