I Hate These Blurred Lines

Wearing: Wrap Dress as top from Vero Moda, Skirt by Darling via TK Maxx, 

Oversized Denim Jacket from Primark, Brogues from Peacocks, Belt and Sunglasses from Tesco and 

Necklace from Olivia Accessories*.

You are reading correctly, this skirt really was a measly £3. Me and Phil were drifting round TK Maxx (a somewhat regular occurrence when I'm at his) and as I scanned the rails my eyes found their way to this super cute print skirt and a rather pleasing red sticker hiding away on the clearance rail. I completely lost my train of thought and whatever I was jabbering on about came to an abrupt halt as I admired it. There was no um-ing and ah-ing to be had, I grabbed it hurriedly and tried it on over what I was wearing in the middle of the shop before I paid the same amount as I would have for a car parking ticket and took it home. The length is perfect and I adore the little embroidered polka dots which, to me, add a little bit of texture and depth. I've styled it down with a bit of brown and denim but this would be a brilliant candidate for a day to night type outfit.

On another note, what have you all been up to? I've had a lovely chilled week with Phil, he started a new job today so last week he used up the last of his holiday from his old one. We popped to Alton Towers and had a couple of days in the park where we got our rollercoaster adrenaline fix and queued 2 hours and 50 minutes for The Smiler. We had a few hours another day in the water park where I rocked a bikini for the first time and in the evenings we explored the beautiful village of Alton after eating home cooked pub food; lovely! We also managed to book two seats for McFly's birthday show at The Royal Albert Hall in September so are searching for decent priced hotels (preferably with car parking) in the area, so if you know of any please do recommend them to me.  I now have jobs to apply for, several emails to catch up on, posts to write, comments to leave, and photos to take and edit. Wish me luck!

Make sure you let me know your best bargain buys whether they're TK Maxx finds or not, I'd love to know. 

She's Just a Loner with a Sexy Attitude.

Wearing: Midi Dress from FD Avenue, 

Biker Jacket from New Look and 

Hi-top Wedge Trainers from Primark.

I may have to put myself on a serious ban from wearing this jacket when I'm going to do outfit posts; I think it's featured in almost all of them so far but it goes with everything! It's quite a good job I don't do one every day really because there is a high probability it'd be there again and again (avec my jogging bottoms which are not used for jogging). I'm quite late with posting this look actually, it's been on the Look Street Style website and the FD Avenue blog for quite a while now so I thought I'd leave a little time before posting it here and, well - I forgot.

I'd been eyeing up midi dresses for a heck of a long time yet putting off buying out of fear of the length making my legs look short and stumpy. Just before Christmas I threw caution to the wind and took the plunge with this amazing monochrome skull number and with a 50% off code it cost a little over £7. Ker-ching! I couldn't quite believe how bold the print was so was understandably terrified whether I could pull it off or not but, as soon as I slipped it on, I fell in lust. I silently rejoiced as I looked at myself in the mirror as my legs didn't look like they belonged to a Corgi after all! Generally though, I think you should be safe if you find a midi that rests just below your knees rather than mid-calf. I paired it with these hi top wedge trainers for a colour accent and to make my calves look slightly elongated - just incase. 

Do you all love the midi dress trend, or are you finding it a bit tiresome?

On the sunny side of the street

Wearing: Hat from Topshop, Biker Jacket from New Look, 

T-Shirt from Zara, Skirt from Primark and 

Loafers from F&F at Tesco

So it seems candid won this weekend! I'm rather useless as a fashion blogger when it comes to posing and facial expressions; I look completely unnatural akin to the sight of a running giraffe. I'll admit that in the last photo my other half Phil was about to be on the receiving end of some expletives as he shoved the camera in my face,  taking 'close up' to a whole new see-up-my-nose level. But it doesn't look half bad eh?

I don't think I've featured my latest favourite item on the blog yet, all hail my pork pie hat. I got it for my birthday in November and it's firmly attached to my head a lot of the time, it's one of those items that you obsessively wear because it's shiny and new and all you can think about. It's versatile and cute but best of all it fits!

Both the belted skater skirt and T-Shirt were Christmas gifts. The skirt is textured and is perfectly flattering for my figure while the T-Shirt was an obvious must have as it's a BUNNY and becomes the fifth item of rabbit themed clothing in my wardrobe. 

I really like this outfit actually, it's completely different to what I was going to wear and was literally a throw together job which looks much better than I initially envisioned. 

I'd love to know what your current wardrobe favourite is?

Wearing: Biker Jacket from New Look,

Tube Skirt from H&M,

Boots from Primark and Top from Asda (Old)

Yes, it's that jacket again! This was not the most appropriate of outfits to wear for a forest walk, as I always say I'm a nightmare with tights so watching me try to dodge thorns and thistles must have been a sight to behold. These boots are a relatively recent purchase from Primark and were a bargain at £18, when I say relatively I'd say they're about a month old so you might still be able to find them. I fell in love with their beasty studs and thought the placement of said studs was perfect and undoubtedly different to any other high street offerings. Unfortunately, they really aren't made for slipping on mud and panicking as you walk (knees knocking together) along a muddy woodland path sloping downwards towards a 6/7ft drop, as a small bit of the sole has come away from the toe of the shoe. Other than that, they are perfect if you make a habit of walking in normal places, i.e concrete!

I'm the Cat With the Bass and Drum

Wearing: Dress from Dorothy Perkins, Biker Jacket and Necklace from New Look  and Brogue Creepers from  Mr Shoes

Me and the boyfriend, Phil, spent Bank Holiday Monday at the coast. We only see each other Friday night through to Sunday night and for the past 5 or 6 weeks we've been volunteering at The Rabbit Residence Rescue on Saturdays, meaning Sundays have been spent laid on the sofa knackered or pottering around in the garden. We took this extra day and used it to head out together - we've not been adventuring anywhere recently and it's something we love doing. We popped to a lavender farm and then headed out onto the coast where we had chips and ice cream (obviously). 

Anyway, above is my outfit of the day, once again the biker jacket makes an appearance. I love these brogue creepers to the moon and back - they look great and they're so comfy, I spent all day walking in them and my feet were still pain free by the end.

Any of you planning on shopping at Motel? I have a fabbo promotional code entitling you to 20% off! If you weren't planning on it, I bet you're tempted to now aren't you?

Wearing: Shirt from Primark, Biker Jacket from New Look,  

Wet Look Leggings and Sunglasses from Tesco 

and Converse (full of sand);

Sucky 'I need a wee pose'- my own.

This biker jacket has me completely infatuated. It seems New Look have bunked up the price on it, I swooped it up when it was originally £34.99 plus a 20% off promotion meaning I got it for £27.99. I want to wear it all summer even though I know this will be virtually impossible in the heat. I try and keep it on as long as I can at the moment because it's my wardrobe staple and favourite item, but I get so hot and risk getting in a pickle like Ross in Friends. I wish this shirt was a little longer, I love the detail on the collar but I feel it could do with a bit more length- this is a replacement since the first I got had a jolly great rip in the seam. The leggings are amazing, I've been tempted by a pair of wet look/disco pants to satisfy my inner diva and have read reviews online of some being too short or too high waisted. Found these beauties in Tesco for a bargain price and they fit a dream; they're the perfect length and THEY DON'T SAG AT THE KNEES. A victory. 

Had a lovely day at the beach yesterday, popped back to Southwold to ride a killer 400bhp powerboat on a high speed half hour blast. One word - Wow. 

Today has only really been spent editing some photos, I've realised I have far too many on my mac and they are in dire need of a sort out. What a mare that will be. 

Now off to get some cross stitch lessons from my mum- I may document my progress for you all to see. Fingers crossed, ho ho.  

So Many Eager Young Bunnies That I'd Like To Pursue

Wearing: Rabbit playsuit inc. belt from Primark

Apologies for lack of blogging, I've just got back from a week away at the quaint Suffolk seaside town of Southwold. I've not had a family holiday in 5 years and my last time away was in 2010 so it was great to visit somewhere new and have a break. 

You'll hear and see more about my time away in a further post, but at the moment I'm having a slight stress with two poorly rabbits. I was supposed to be picking them up yesterday from holiday boarding but both had developed upset stomachs- one more serious than the other. I visited them yesterday but they aren't coming home just yet as Caroline is very kindly treating them for me- it was heartbreaking to see them so quiet, lethargic and nervous; I'm not sure if they even clocked who I was. I've had good news today that the meds seem to be having a good effect and they're more lively and eating, we're just taking each day as it comes so I'm not sure when I'll have them home.

Anywho, here's an outfit from my week- a gorgeous bunny playsuit & belt from Primark. It's also got a cute peter pan collar with a gold chain connecting each tip which you can't see because of my mane.
