OOTD: Bricks

Yes, my garden is a mess. Problem? Take it up with my dad and his arm length list of unfinished DIY projects!
Despite the fact i had to pose with building materials i couldn't resist the amazing natural light we had outside, it is a bona fide be-a-utiful day...
...and i decided to wear black and grey.

 

TOP:H&M JEGGINGS&SHOES:EVANS SUNGLASSES:TESCO

So i feel like i've lost all my fashion mojo at the moment. I guess i used it all up on that double stripes hit from a couple weeks back (which has been reblogged on tumblr 87 times, go me!! :D)

I'm living in easy, comfy and fairly boring outfits which i know means terrible viewing/reading for you guys so i'm sorry and hopefully i can get back into the swing of things asap. Think i just need a good shop, or that's the excuse i'll use anyways.

I'd like to think that my slick of pink lipstick made this outfit a bit more summery than it otherwise would have been. And for those who might want to know it's a Barry M lippy which i think is called Punk Pink, maybe.

Or maybe i just lade that up, who knows!!

OOTD: Featured

So i was asked to send in pictures to Plus Model Magazine for their blog feature Fashion Fridays, you can see this weeks including me HERE.
This is the outfit i sent in:

TOP:NEW LOOK INSPIRE SKIRT:TOPSHOP TIGHTS:TESCO SHOES:EVANS

This is a variation of the outfit i have been living in of late. Considering it cost £15 in the Topshop sale and in technically about 3 or 4 sizes too small this skirt is doing a seriously good job : )

I actually wore this on Wednesday to see The Hangover Part II which was hilarious and amazing, although there are rumours of number 3 already and whilst i do love the wolf pack three films based solely upon drunken mistakes might be pushing it a bit!

I'm off for the weekend to reenact and be awesome so no posts i'm afraid. Straight back at it on Monday though i promise!

Thanks to Natale Monet from Plus Model Magazine for asking me to be involved in the feature, such a huge honour and i'm eternally grateful.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

True Blue

JEANS - £35 - ASOS CURVE

And my love affair with coloured denim continues...

I have little to no money so why i'm torturing myself i do not know! But this girl came into work today and she had green jeans on, GREEN! And it wasn't any old rubbish green it was the most vibrant blue-y awesome amazing green. Strutting along in her green jeans & her brown loafers lookin all better than me in my uniform and making me want coloured jeans! Pffftttt!

What's your verdict on blue?

I want the green pair that girl had on but these come in a close second and i prefer them to the red!

May

May has been the fastest passing month of 2011 by a mile! So much so, i forgot to do this post on time. For the first couple of weeks after getting back from the States i felt very out of sync, it felt like i'd never left yet a whole month had passed so i was essentially a month behind, bad times.
I had such an amazing day yesterday and was dreading all the menial tasks i had to do today like washing and hoovering but then i remembered BMB was due a monthly round up so this is a very welcome relief from boring housework : )

I am so glad this month has been good. I was quite worried i'd be on my post holiday blues the whole time but in all honestly aside from a couple of moments where i missed Seattle i've been a proper happy chappy.
We've had consistently nice weather, i spent two weekends camping & reenacting, i met some new and pretty dang awesome people, it was my birthday, the list goes on and on.
The one thing i am a bit bummed over is that i FAILED at taking pictures. My promise for June is that you guys will get a seriously picture heavy end of month post.


MUSIC
As always; just listing the stuff that srsly sticks out.
Gogol Bordello - Super Taranta! (the whole album in it's awesome entirety)
Seasick Steve - My Home (Blue Eyes)
The Very Best of Otis Redding (again, the whole album)
Lady GaGa - Judas
Adele - Hiding My Heart

FILMS
Someone take me to the cinema, i haven't been in so, so long. It's a damn shame. I watched Little Miss Sunshine on the flight home right at the start of the month, what a cute and awesome film, so good! I guess May was a bad month for me and cinema.

BOOKS
I read Recorded Zombie Outbreaks and The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks but aside from those i've mostly been on a magazine binge. I was getting bored of glossy pages though so i'm pretty thankful to the person who has just lent me World War Z by Max Brooks : )

I always write this little bit at the end like "So this was an amazing month, so good blah blah blah" and it just occurred to me how much that makes it sound like i was expecting a shit time. I don't panic myself into a stupor on the 1st of every month thinking it's all going to crumble around me as the days pass, honest. I guess i just A: Need a way to end the post and B: Want to celebrate how awesome my life is!
So yeah, May was a fantastic month, I am so excited to see what June brings i'm finding it hard to contain myself! Love to y'all.

Alive and Kicking

What an amazing weekend i had! I didn't take a single picture though : /
I went camping/reenacting. I really should post some pictures of what i wear whilst doing my little historical bit, i suppose that would tie in quite nicely with the theme of BMB. I'm off again in couple of weeks so i'll remember to be snap happy then.

I'm pretty sure it was Memorial Day Weekend for those of you in the US so like us lot here in Olde England you got a long weekend. I hope it was fabulous for each and every one of you!
From what i've seen and heard from friends across the pond you guys had awesome weather.
Ours wasn't too bad but i did get rained on and nearly froze to death in my tent on Monday night: damn you cold front coming in from the east!

I'm super pumped to do a good half week of posting now i'm back and well rested (nothing like your own bed and a good hot shower!)


Mucho Amor Lovelies : )
