Colour Stocking

I have such a moody face in these pictures. It must be exam time...

It's the mooost wonderful tiiiime of the yeeaaaarrrr!

Quick one today....

It's that time again...EXAM TIIIIIIME! 

Look out for:

Unnecessary stress

Monumental break-downs

Bad skin

Questionable hair

Poorly applied make-up or lack thereof and finally.......

The manifestation of the above stress in 'experimental' outfits......

WATCH THIS SPACE (but please don't judge)

Before that though......how cute is this top? To think I was going to give it away to charity!?!? 

As my Year 3 teacher used to say 'What a Silly Sausage!'

I realised that there is a permanent accessory you can get for the Summer...nail crystals, it's like a pretty ring on ALL OF YOUR FINGERS...MAGIC

And here's one I made earlier.....

Off to sleep now but DO remember to enter the giveaway or i'll be forced to just keep it (..i joke, i joke)

Top - salvaged from my 'clothes to get rid of' bag - although the origin escapes me
Trousers - Zara
Bangles - assorted
Watch - Casio


See you guys soon...i'll hopefully have a better pic of my nails then.....

Lashings of Lovings....and don't talk to strangers

Casual Manual

Feeling a but 'off' fashion-wise? 

Here are some casual staples perfect for:

Fat days

Stressed days

Laundry days

Nothing screams casual like an ironic t-shirt (ironic for me because I am the only person in my family/the world who hasn't been to New York- as you can tell i'm over it...!) Any type of irony will suffice e.g. a t-shirt that says 'i'm with stupid' on exam day.

Houndstooth skirt because it was GENUINELY the only thing left in my wardrobe that wasn't unsuitable for the eyes of young children and the elderly (i believe that children are the future). Any random patterned bottom will do here...there are no boundaries.

Oh and stupidly high Aldo Mary-Janes (to make yourself feel better about the shocker of an outfit that you've put together)

'Bad-girl' pose

Cheeky kiss

And there you have it! Your guide to fooling the world into thinking you look stylish when you know the truth.

My first giveaway

Bad blogger apology.

Yes I have been absent *slaps own face and goes to sit on metaphorical naughty step*. In my defence I have had a manic week, a visit from the 'ole big sis and I have been trying to formulate an all-encompassing master-plan for my life plus tons of other un-exciting grown-uppy things like 'rent review' and 'job applications'.

I also made a pretty obvious  shocking discovery that anything shiny/pretty/colourful/floral can drastically alter my mood for the better. This clearly has the potential to transform major life experiences for me e.g. helping me forget that I am in labour or distracting me from the depression I'll probably experience as I hit middle-age but enough about me here's the giveaway info....

To all of you lovely boys and girls of the blogosphere I have decided to give away this sparkly black dress/top. It is a size 12-ish but it is quite loose fitting and can be styled to fit most body shapes.

To win:

1. Follow this blog (Either twitter, bloglovin or blogger)

2. leave a comment here with your name and email address

3. I'll pick the winner on the 1st June 2011

I'm going to use a random generator to pick the winner (because apparently rock paper scissors is outdated)

Have fun and get entering!!
