Bit of a different style of pictures for me. Well, kinda. Usual outside photo shots, but all landscape for today. I've become a bit meh about my blog lately. Not so much the content, but just the general look and feel. But I've been the same with my wardrobe lately as well so maybe it's just me.

These are my newest Topshop Leigh jeans in a gorgeous deep plum colour. I love Leigh jeans. They hug everything so nicely and yet are so comfortable. A tab pricey at £38 each but I've given myself permission to buy one pair per payday. These are a tad long but they don't tend to them them shorter for my waist which is a pain.

This top is also a newbie, this time from H&M. I spotted in their catalogue and loved it, so when I went up to Cardiff I sent Hanah and myself a mission for finding it. Find it we did, and purchase it I did. I like it cause it's different for me in terms of colour and style. I'm not a huge sequin fan so I took a chance. I like that it's baggy, however both me and the boy have complained of its scratchiness! I think it could be dressed up as well as down. I've already worn it to work with a pair of black trousers and blazer and dressed down like this as well.

I like this little outfit. It's a nice little weekend/shopping outfit and I can't wait for my next pair of Leigh jeans!

What colour Leigh jeans do you have? Which would you recommend?

Little Sailor Dress

dress: dorothy perkins (sale)  |  wedges: river island  |  belt: H&M  |  necklace: can't remember!  |  bangles: accessorize  |  earrings: Superdrug

This is my cute little sailor dress from the Dorothy Perkins sale. I went in a couple of Saturdays ago, saw it and thought nah, I don't need it. Then I went in again on Tuesday to buy it and it had gone from to £10!! So bargain! So happy I didn't purchase last Saturday.

Everyone who knows me knows this is my kind dress. Navy, tick! Clinched in waist, tick! It's just a me dress from top to toe. With a teeny difference, the cute little collar. I'm not usually a collar person, but this is adorable. It's so subtle as it's the same print as the dress but just adds that little something extra to the dress. I popped a cute little butterfly necklace underneath the colour to break the pattern up slightly. So sorry but I can't remember where the necklace is from - it's yonks old!

As you can see as well, we have recently bought a paddling pool for Arthur. Unfortunately he is a tad scared of it. I am working on that through methods such as holding him in and splashing, throwing water at him, throwing all his toys in there - which was quite funny as he got very stroppy as he wouldn't go in and get them! Tad mean maybe, but we're getting there! He will actually walk through it now!

I'm more than happy with this paddling pool, especially with the weather we were having last week - so refreshing and a bit of fun! I do look a bit too happy standing in there - CHEESE!

I think I need to find a new photographer. The boy seems to be getting a bit fed up and not as enthusiastic about it as he used to be. Which is sad ... This is where I wish I had a tripod, a remote and an SLR. One day!

Have you got any bargains from the sales yet? Anyone know of any cheap SLR's being sold?

Summer Paisley

You know those dresses that you try on just to keep a friend company in the changing rooms and don't expect to love it? Well this is one of those dresses. I have this thing where I try something n in the changing room, hoping it to be horrible as I shouldn't really buy it, and then all anyone can here is me going "o crap..." because I love it. This was one of those 'o crap' moments.

dress H&M

bangles ACCESSORIZE

necklace RASPBERRYGRAPE

Now, I was a good girl and I didn't buy this dress straight away, I bought my lovely cream dress (here) instead as I thought it was more practical. But it was one of those items you just can't stop thinking about and it just keeps niggling away at your brain going "you know you need me... you know you want me...".

Then I saw another blogger wearing it and I just thought "o screw it" and accidentely ordered it online. Opps.

I just love the colours in this dress, they are so bright and I love the pattern. I think it's very unlike anything else I have as well which makes a nice change for me! Am beginning to expand my horizons a bit which is good...! They have another dress with the same print that is currently in the H&M sale at the moment (here) as well which I'm so tempted to buy, but I think two dresses in the same pattern is slightly excessive... Even for me! The belt comes with the dress as well so definite value for money I think!

The bangles I have actually had forever, I only remember they came from Accessorize because the blocky one was my first EVER buy from there - see, told you I had them forever!

This necklace is a newbie for me. It's from raspberrygrape (think I may be getting slightly addicted to this site) and is a lovely rusty colour. If I'm honest I bought it thinking it would be a long necklace, however I love that it's a short one. I always wear my Tiffany's butterfly (I'm sure you've noticed) so it was a nice change to swap it for something with a bit of colour.

I think this look is going to become a bit of a staple for me for work over the summer (if we ever get one) as it's really light to wear and it's long enough to get away with wearing without tights for work as well.

What's been your latest 'o crap' moment? Do you have a work wardrobe staple yet?

P.S - I have been nominate for a blog award over at BlogCat, would love if you'd go vote for me :) just click here - thank you!

Bringing Lacey Back

If you read any of my twitter posts then you've probably seen me sigh over this beauty. 

I showed a picture of it to the boyf thinking that when he saw it he'd say he didn't like so I'd think 'no I won't get it...' but alas no - he said he liked it and so I accidently bought it...

Wedges Topshop

I absolutely love this dress. It's just so pretty and girly! I am a bit of a lover of lace, so it was inevitable I'd fall in love with it.

I completely fell in love with the back, its so unique and just incredibly subtle - however it does pose an annoying bra issue!

I wouldn't recommend wearing white underwear under this either as it's very noticeable.. opps!

Have toughened it up with my Levi belt courtesy of the boyf and my tribal Topshop wedges :)

What dress can't you stop thinking about?
