Currently Coveting.

I am completely loving this Peplum Blouse from Matalan but unfortunately I tried it on in a size 20 and its pulls across my back and what's even more gutting is they don't go up to a 22. I know Matalan often go up to that size in a lot of the main size range and there plus size section it almost always pretty dowdy and not at all to my tastes! So it may be tight on me but I'm tempted to buy it anyway because you never know I might slim down (yeah right) and I just adore the cut and print so much it would be worth the shape wear!

I've been looking at Peplum style tops for awhile now but I never found one in a colour or print that I liked, Matalan also have some more jersey fabric ones in really cute prints but there just a little too pastel toned for me. The main reason being if I'm running around and its summer I'm likely to get a little hot and pale tops aren't good for this and second I'm the clumsiest person ever and it would stain easily. No seriously sometimes I just miss my mouth when I'm drinking, I'm actually worse than a toddler! I forgot to add that this top also has really cute buttons down the back as a functional detail, this is priced at £14 which I don't think is to shabby at all, I just wished it was a little looser fitting on me for was in a jersey fabric!

Tomorrow I'm off to Sheffield for a special event with Panache, I'm super excited as I'll be meeting some new bloggers! Though kind of worried because I hate changing trains and I'm having to change at a station I don't know at all!

With a cool cool breeze and dirty knees.

Dress: Marks and Spencer. Shirt: Primark. Shoes: Evans. Leggings: Matalan. Sunglasses: Primark.

My brother took these pictures for me while we were walking around the grounds of Lyme Park on my birthday (I'll show you more of the lovely shots we got in future posts) as it was so warm I didn't really want to cover up in a cardigan so I threw this shirt over my new summer dress and I actually really love the outcome. If you haven't noticed by now I'm all for clashing prints even if the outcome isn't always that nice! I promise I'll show you the dress in all its glory as the summer goes on, I feel like it could become a good staple as I can dress it up or down and its a really good length so I could wear it without leggings.

At the moment I seem to have a bit of an obsession with knotting my tops under my bust and wearing dresses under them. It's an easy look that breaks up and outfit and I always knots them there the waist/across seam is on the dress so it works. I just feel that its a really relaxed look and also means you basically have two outfits in one! I can also see me carrying this on through out the summer and on into next season just as a way of wearing some of my dresses more!

I'm in desperate need of a haircut at the moment and it's pretty clear on these pictures! The silly thing is I can talk to complete strangers for ages, but I'm finding it almost impossible to call up my hairdressers and book an appointment. You can also see my ombre hair slightly still in the sun, I haven't done it again yet so its still going strong after four or so months but I really want it to be lighter next time. So for now I'm being good and waiting until I've had it cut to re-bleach it as I know my hairdresser wouldn't want me to kill my hair yet! I'm looking forward to getting a few reviews up in the next week or so and just getting plenty of outfit pictures done while its not raining!

Happy Birthday To Me!

Just a quick post to say IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY and I turned nineteen. I've had a pretty lovely day spending the majority with my family and going out for a meal. I spent the afternoon at Lyme Park (where some of pride and prejudice was filmed!) and I'll show you those pictures in a post as soon as. These shots were taken while sitting on the grass baking outside the amazing house! My brother took them for me and didn't like my overly cheesy grin well I love it! I'm afraid to say along with too much light exposure you can also tell my glasses are a bit wonky and don't fit my nose well but you can't complain for how much they cost! (50p in case you were wondering).

Anyway I just wanted to post to also say thank you to all the beautiful bloggers that have sent me messages and wished me a happy birthday so far today! So there is only thirty minutes of my birthday left and I'm going to enjoy them by watching Snog? Marry? Avoid? and swooning over some of my adorable gifts from my friends, which I'm sure you will also see in upcoming posts.
