Just a quickie

So this is decidedly belated-pretty much a week late, but nevertheless, I've finally got round to posting what I wore! It's been pretty manic at work & having family down with us has meant I've barely been keeping up with day to day tasks such as cleaning the flat, let alone blogging! Enough of my sob story, without further ado here they are, details & all--

From left to right; Monday oversized check shirt courtesy of my sisters' wardrobe with bargain cashmere scarf from the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, I think it was roughly £5!! It's so soft & warm it's perfect for the increasingly chilly weather. Tuesday H&M slouchy mono stripe sweatshirt over Asos ombre distressed slip-this is one of my prints! I love the colours in this & the fact that they put it on a grungey shape, really suits the print. Wednesday Primark cropped metallic flecked jumper over Topshop animal dress, another of mine!! Love the strong colours in this print & Im so pleased to see bloggers in this one, makes me feel very proud. Ive pinned a cheap ebay necklace which I think picks out the metallic details & complements the jumper really well. Thursday another oversized H&M sweatshirt. They're such good value for money & I love that the knit is chunkier & looser in this one-you can see this a little clearer in the close up above. The colours are great too, as I've said before, I love stronger tones to brighten up dull Winter days! Friday we were on our way to Manchester, so comfort ruled here. I wore my trusty TS baxters along with this snuggly Primark cardie, it's got tiny sequins sewn into the knit, a lovely touch that meant I just had to have it! The sweet floral Asos cami is also one of my prints, another bold little number! I like that the straps are that bit longer too.

Also, I received a little treat in the post, another ebay purchase I'd forgotten all about. It's a Laura Ashley mono floral midi skirt & I can't wait to get wearing it--

I'm going to be writing quite a bit tomorrow to make up for the lack of posts this week, sorry!

Get Busy

I'm still in two minds about the whole blogging thing, I love having an outlet for things that I've done/seen/bought & have interested me, but I'm reluctant to dive into the posey outfit posts. Don't get me wrong, there's some fantasic bloggers that I admire for their interesting wardrobe choices,& I also find quite a lot of bloggers wearing my prints which is a great feeling. However, when there's so many people doing the same thing already, some well & some... do I really need to be jumping on the bandwagon too? I don't know, perhaps I'll be eating my words in a few months' time, but for now I'm just going to dabble with weekly outfit posts & details as below.

So from left to right; Monday ebay gringo hippy dress, Tuesday Asos Metallic oversized dress (so comfortable & only £25!) with ebay Crazy Mexican lady cardie, Wednesday Asos tropical neon shirt & DP cerise jeans, Thursday Vintage floral maxi shirt dress from Paris & ebay printed quilted jacket-sure Ive seen this on Asos-was a bargain on ebay, Friday Topshop embroidered oriental kimono jacket & Something Else (amazing Aussie brand) Egyptian tunic

This week's been fairly busy, I heard the lovely news that a friend got engaged so we surprised her on Monday night with drinks & a catch up, it was Carnaby Street's Christmas event on Tuesday which was really fun & festive-

On Wednesday Vural & I went to see Gravity at the cinema. I wasn't sure I wanted to watch this but he's obsessed with anything space/astronaut centric so we had to see it in 3D.

As I expected, it looked incredible, you could be forgiven for actually thinking it was filmed up in space! But, it was an anxiety ridden nail biter from start to finish, I felt uneasy the whole way through : ( I'm glad we saw it though, an added highlight was watching the new trailers (it may be sad but for me that's one of the best parts of going to the cinema). A film due to be released around Christmas is 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty'. This looks amazing, I can't wait to watch this. You know when something sums up exactly how you feel but can't put into words?- I think this film will do exactly this for me.

My dad was down for work on Saturday so I went for a brief catch up with him, we had a wander round Lincoln's Inn. So beautiful, couldn't get over how peaceful it was considering it's slap bang in the centre of London.

Vural & I had a few drinks in Muswell Hill last night & I think (if I can get him out of bed, the lazy git!) that we're going to head over to Dalston in a bit for the 'Christmas Carboot' at Stunt Dolly. Anyway, hope everyone's had a good week, can you believe we're halfway through November?! Enjoy the rest of your weekend y'all
