Its getting hot in here..

Don't worry i'm not going to take my clothes off! Every UK blogger will know about the heatwave we're having this week, it always happens when i'm stuck at work!! I like the heat but just wish it was sunny here too.

My All Saints dress came today and man it is so short! I'm only 5ft and its really short on me so i can only imagine what its like on someone non dwarf-like. My mum told me i look very womanly in it, so i think i'm going to keep and wear with opaques. I'll try to take some photos tomorrow.

My Miss Selfridge dress also came and i have a picture of this one. In the photo the top looks a bit weird but its much more fitted in real life. Again how short is this dress?!! I like the colour and zip detail though.

I've not been inspired with clothes over the last couple of days. Mostly down to the heat and the fact that we've been dealing with Autumn and Winter collecions at work so i've been drooling over boots and coats!

I'll try and wear something decent tomorrow!

Ohh and only 10 more followers until my giveaway!

My fave dresses tag

I've been tagged by A fashionable affair to post my favourite dresses. I live in dresses and its hard to pick just a few!! Its funny because i actually sorted through my dresses this weekened and put ones i don't often wear too the front of my wardrobe. So i whittled it down to six dresses.
This is my current fave. A floaty coral number with bib detailing from Primark. The colour sums up this summer and it looksfab with tights and bare legs.
This polka dot number was from the Patrica Field range at Marks and Spencers. I wore it when we went on a night out in Manchester earlier this year. I need to dig it out again.
Black lace minidress from Primark, I love this and have worn it sooo much, i also have it in cream too.
I have to put this on, i love this dress Its from Dorothy Perkins and just makes me feel great when i wear it.
This black velvet dress was 99p from Ebay and was worn to death over the winter.
I found this dress in my wardrobe and its not been worn for ages. Its originally from Primark last year and i love the shape and big buttons.

I'm tagging this to anyone who wants to do it!

Random mish mash post

Well its the end of another weekend, why do they go so fast?! Yesterday was spent at the vets and pet store sorting out my little bundles of joy and then last night i went out with the girls. Sadly i didn't have time to take any outfit or make up pics but i was wearing a pretty simple black dress with the following shoes from Topshop. It was sooo hot last night, i was not looking good!
The toyboy was out with his friends and i met up with them which was exciting as i've not really met them before. Mostly they were fab but there was a girl who really wound me up, she acted like the boy was her boyfriend, hands all over him and pulling him away from me to dance with her and acting all overfriendly with me. Girls like that really annoy me, its like shes marking her territory. It makes me feel so insecure but the boy was fab, he stayed with me and took me home at the end of the night. My friends seem to like him too, which is always good.
Today i've mostly been cleaning, sleeping and reading, not exactly exciting but i''m knackered after being out until 6am. Also i'm currently wearing these with socks to stop them hurting my feet.

On a more exciting note i've decided that when i get to 70 followers i'm going to do a giveaway!!! There isn't going to be any particular theme to it, just some random bits, so if anyone is reading this then get following!!

Only 5 more sleeps until next weekend x

My finger slipped...

.... and accidently made me order the All Saints Mabelle dress. I've loved the dress for ages and i'm hoping it looks good on me.
Then my naughty fingers took me to the Miss Selfridge website and ordered this dress and earrings.
Then i popped into town after work today to get some face wipes and treated myself to two new lipsticks and two nail polishes.
Excuse my mucky nails- 17 lipstick in Marshmallow Whip(gorgeous pink when on) and Maybelline Watershine Lipstick in shade 111(sheer pink with lots of sparkle in).
17 clear polish and Sally Hansen Nail colour in Opal Truth(a gorgeous neutral)
Also treated myself to a box of smarties. Why do orange ones taste so good?!

Yorkshire Fashion Week

This week its Yorkshire Fashion Week.Its the first time its ever been held and consists of a weeks worth of events ending in a fashion gala in Huddersfield. I emailed a couple of people to get more information on the event a couple of weeks ago but sadly nobody got back to me so the only information i have is from this article (i took the pictures from the article gallery). Personally i don't think the event has been advertised very well, i only found out about it by accident, but i do hope it goes well for everyone involved.
I think the event is a great idea, Yorkshire is such a huge county and so diverse its great to showcase the fashion here as generally everything is centred on London. One day i'll take my camera out with me and take some photos of fabulous people and post them.

Payday Haul!

Well i got paid today so considered it my duty to go shopping.
Firstly i got my refill for my Mat Lumiere foundation, the girl gave me such a big bag for a little packet!

I popped into H&M there was a sale on but not much took my fancy really.

I got this grey and black oversized shirt to wear with leggings. Also picked up this cute pink headband.

Also went to Primark but again not much caught my eye.
I got a navy belt with gold buckle and huge blue cocktail ring. I had more luck in Miss Selfridge who had a massive sale on.
I got these purple and navy tights for £1 each, i know its summer but i love my tights and they'll be good for Autumn.
Also picked up this bracelet which is like the ASOS one in my wishlist, its gold in real life.

Black and cream multirow necklace- I'm taking the corsage off of this.

Annnnnd this fan bright purple mini skirt, its so bright and vibrant, i can't wait to wear it.

Finally i popped to Ann Summers, i know it can be total tacksville but they do decent bras that fit my ridiculous boobs. So i got this set and also the basque below(it was only£5).

Hope everyones had a good Friday x
