Mermaids

I saw this film last night and i had forgotton how much i love it. Cher has some great 60's outfits including the pink and black polka dot dress, Winona Ryder looks gorgeous as her daughter and Christina Ricci is as cute as a button. I think i might have to get the DVD.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I hope everybody had a lovely day and got lots of gorgeous presents. I had a very quiet day but it was nice and relaxing and i ate loads of chocolate and turkey and its nice to see people opening presents and being genuinely happy with them.

My last few days in pictures

Coco

I loved reading this article on Coco Chanel this weekend. Its a nice simple round up of some influences Coco had and still has today. Just glancing at it i see alot of my style staples such as pearls, ballerina pumps, chains and of course the LBD which everyone has a version of! I also covet the 2.55 bag so much and have a few look-a-like versions and if i ever win the lottery its the first thing on my wishlist.

For now though a bottle of No.5 is on my wishlist and thats a bit more affordable! Its my favourite of all the perfumes by Chanel and while i know alot of people really don't like the scent, i think its gorgeous.

Happy Birthday to me

I had my birthday yesterday so i'm now quarter of a century old which is a bit scary as in my head i'm still only 16. I've had a good weekend though and got some nice presents, including lots of wine, a watch, earings, a purse and some black boots which are a joint Christmas and birthday present. I'll post photos later in the week.

Its so close to Christmas now, i have to work tomorrow and Tuesday then i'm off for 5 days and i'm so looking forward to the break. I'm planning on clearing out my wardrobe and ebaying alot of the stuff i don't wear anymore and also to catch up on some reading as it seems like ages since i read a book and i have about 5 sat here waiting to be read.

Some looks i'm liking

I covet the leopard print bag she's carrying and love the print mix.

I think this is really cute and easy to wear.

This weekend

Last weekend was been a bit mad, i went away to Butlins with some friends, its the first time i've ever been anywhere like that and i actually had a brilliant time, it was an adults only weekend and there were lots of cheesy acts on like Right Said Fred and 911(anyone remember them?!!!) so it was basically a weekend of drinking far too much and dancing until our feet could stand no more. I wore my zip up vest dress with coloured opaques for 2 of the 3 nights and have to say it looked fab. The other nght was a school disco so we dressed in uniforms and i got to wear my sparkly shoes!

While there i totally lost my voice which still hasn't come back so i havent been able to go to work and i am SOO frustrated and fed up!

Last weekend was also when we could up our new puppy, but we ended up with 2. They are so gorgeous but it means we have 3 puppies to spoil now.

Speedy

Woo my dress came so fast. Heres me in it, i love the dress but am thinking it might be a bit low cut. Nevermind!

New dress

I just won this studded dress on ebay, fingers crossed it gets here for Thursday when i'm going away for the weekend.

Date

I went on a date last night, it wasn't that great but i loved my outfit!

Black zip up vest dress, black opaques, grey patant shoots and bright yellow cardigan.

Pretty

I love this dress, i think it would be fab with opaques and platforms. it might have to be a payday treat for myself.
