Pretty new things! be warned its photo heavy!

My internet has been a pain in the rear the last few days, driving me mad and not letting me post properly.
I had a fab weekend(seems like ages ago already), i left Seb with my parents on Saturday afternoon for the first time so me and Phil could have some time together. Cue me feeling guilty. We went for a pub lunch and a mooch around town as Phil needed to buy some boring work clothes. I dragged him into my favourite charity shop and nabbed myself this baby, shes only small but very sweet and looks lovely sat on my windowsill.

I had a £5 giftcard from Marks and Spencers(they randomly posted it to me?) so we popped in and i got us some goodies for our treats cupboard and then some new tea for me to try and of course Percy Pigs.

Sunday was my official break from being a mummy day. Phil took Seb to his mum and dads for the day to watch the rugby. I got to get showered with the door closed and dressed without a baby watching me! Then me and my mum hit the shops.
I really wanted a vest i'd seen in Topshop but did they have it in stock in my size, nope! So instead i ended up having a bit of a Primark spree.
Firstly my mum got me this as we both loved the random print.
I got myself the same dress/top in poodle print, it looks horrible in this photo though.

I had to get the horse print dress. Peter pan collars don't usually suit me as the necks are too high but this neckline is much better.

I've been wanting this scarf for a few weeks after seeing it online somewhere.

I picked these tights up at the till because they felt nice.

I used my boots advantage points to get these bits. Can't wait to try the blusher.

Then we went to Debenhams, i had £5 to spend on my beauty card in there. I knew what i wanted to put it towards and headed straight to the Chanel counter to get Black Pearl Nail Polish. For once the girl working the counter was really nice.

Last but not least, i'd spied this dress in my local Matalan store. Only in sizes 18 or 20. Same online. My mum managed to track one down for me in her local store. I really wanted the Warehouse swallow print dress but didn't like the price, this one is much more reasonable.

I'm now feeling much happier with my spring wardrobe :)

I did come home to a flooded kitchen, some kind of pipe problem, but its all fixed now.

I want to apologise for the photos in this post, blogger is being a total pain for me and i'm useless on photobucket.
