You better hope she's not a fan of Bambi


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?

'A great wind is blowing, and that gives you either imagination or a headache.'


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.
