Little bit of...star shine





Jumper: Primark   Shirt: Topshop   Trousers: H&M   Trainers: Converse   Jacket: Primark   Bangle: River Island   Bag: H&M

Have been seriously neglecting the blog this month, have so many ideas and things to show but other things seem to keep getting in the way. Not all bad, though have been fighting off this horrid cold, mentioned in previous post, for bout three weeks now. Eventually caved and doctored it so should hopefully be on the mend now! Also last week finished work project and then got promotion so have been bit crazy finishing off and starting new bits there and this week have just sorted out new flat - am already planning how to decorate before it's all even been finalised!

Today has been spent running round sorting bits for that, grabbing bits for Christmas and, if you have seen Twitter/Facebook feed, ogling the many beautiful doughnuts at Krispy Kreme! (A box of them may have found its way home with us). So many shiny things in stores right now, getting ready for those Christmas outfits, shall do a few favourites soon. You know me and shiny things...can't stay away for long!

Paint...box






























































Jumper: Primark   Trousers (with belt): Primark   Hand chain: Urban Outfitters   Cross ring: Topshop   Horse shoe bracelet: River Island

Last week have been fighting my own nightmare man flu (aka the common cold!!!), hence the photos inside and the insane love for this cosy jumper. It's just too cold! Didn't really think it through too, taking photos of cream jumper on cream background. So when playing around trying to make the background darker was just messing about with the paint tool and gave this effect. Very simple but I kinda liked it.

No one can not deny the rise of the hand chain, this one is from Urban Outfitters I got last year, would advise to get one with an adjustable ring though coz this one keeps falling off! On the path to recovery now so will venture back into the outside world eventually, do promise!

Feeling...the cold































































Jacket: River Island   Jumper: H&M   Leggings: Primark   Boots: New Look   Beanie: H&M   Bag: House of Holland   Necklace: H&M   Fur collar: New Look

When did it become winter?!!! I am not liking this whole getting up in the cold thing! Went out for some food with the family today to one of our favourite places nearby, The Willow Pool Tea Rooms, I have mentioned before in a post, here, as it is one of the strangest places I have been. I have just realised from finding that old post that I am wearing exactly the same jumper that time too, so much for 'wish i wore...', more like 'what i wore...last time'!

What's everyone got planned for Halloween then? Am seeing lots of funky fashion features on websites. I really like on of my favourite bloggers site her collection of Halloween images she does each year, here, from the Cherry Blossom Girls blog. Must admit I do tend to get more excited about fireworks night next week though.

Am...backkkkkkk!
































































Jumper: H&M   Dress (worn as skirt): Primark   Boots: New Look   Jacket: Primark   Snood: H&M   Necklace: H&M   Watch: River Island

Am finally back home and, although still working on this other project, am not travelling round the country for most of the week...at the moment! So nice to be back in familiar surroundings but it's that time of year where everything is changing. People may scoff at me but I do find this time of the year one of the most beautiful for colours, the drive I have to work at the moment goes down one of those long roads where you pass every colour of leaf you could imagine and it is gorgeous. The above is not that example but us running round under an aerial extreme course, trying not to get hit by people zip wiring from up high!

The dress is one of those reasons I started this blog, it is an item I have had for years but due to the fact the straps are a bit bizarre and the top half doesn't quite fit as I would like I have NEVER worn it but, as I absolutely love the digital/abstract print, could not bring myself to throw it out. When the trend came round again I was glad to have kept it and suddenly didn't know why I hadn't thought to wear it under an oversized jumper?!
