Wardrobe weekly

I've worn some stuff that I really love this week...

 Respectable lady dress 22 - Marks and Spencers via ebay

'lady' shoes - Crocs

 I want to wear this jacket all the time

 Jacket 22 - Dorothy Perkins

T-shirt 22 - Asos Curve

Chinos 24 - Yours

shoes - Primark

 Love it soooo much!

 

Haven't worn this ring for ages, but it's an old favourite from Dorothy Perkins. It's like a snowflake...

 ...under a window!

 Jacket 22 - New Look Inspire

Dress 20 - Asos Curve

Leggings 18 - Primark

Flip flops - Ipanema

 I added my rabbit earrings from Forever 21 & my super sparkly bracelet from our Costa Brava holiday last year.

 How have I only just discovered this stuff. I hate beer and cider messes my head up so I'm stoked to find something I can drink by the pint!

 I think this simple outfit might be one of the favourites I've worn in ages.

 Thing is it's technically highly unflattering because it doesn't hide any of my lumps - My arms are out, I've got no shape-wear on so I jiggle about like mad...

.... the back of the skirt is right under my lovehandles so my back fat is highly visable (also because my bra is a bit worse for wear and has started to roll up!) and my big old double belly is out on display, particually from the side. DON'T CARE! I loved this outfit and felt fucking fabulous in it!

 Red nails, red lips, a red diamonte cherry necklace & a vintage bracelet topped it off.

 T-shirt 20 / Skirt 20 / necklace / shoes - Primark

Primark has loads of these excellent t-shirts in all different colours (post coming up with my Primark haul soon!). I had a few funny looks in this (dunno if that was because it was so in-your-face and bright, because I looked like a porker in tight clothes, or because people were just trying to read my skirt!), but I also had loads of compliments and lots of women wanted to know where my skirt was from. Primark has been the best place to get pop-art clothes, and most of the pieces can stretch to plus sized arses!

 Out and about on Saturday for some free London fun. God I adore London, I'm so fucking lucky to live here. Can I just tell you how much I love this dress? This in-between summery weather suited it down to the ground. I felt super sexy and (dare I say it?!) young in this outfit. My boyfriend liked my boobs in this, which is normally a good sign that it's quite flattering. Mind you he does like it when I dress like a chav & I had pumps and huge hoop earrings on so that might be it!

 The classy version of an alcopop! Still tastes like sweeties though.

 Such a beautiful night on the south bank!

 Gilles Peterson getting worldwide funky. It's so nice to see a proper DJ who plays interesting music... we had a proper bop!

 OXO-tastic.

 French hip hop ahoy!

 "He's mixing Coltrane into it!" says Jazzy boy with glee!

 Shaking it!

 It felt like we were on Holiday, such a beautiful night!

London at night is so wonderful!

 Joy! Plus we were home by 11pm - it was a perfect old persons night out. I'm talking about my old ass here... my boy is younger and very capable of staying out WAY past 11!

 Jacket 22 - New Look Inspire

Dress 26 - Ebay (also available on AX Paris, size up if you wanna breath in it!)

Leggings 22 - New Look Inspire 

Massive gold plated hoop earrings - Silvershake (best hoops ever!)

Shoes - H&M

Dress 24 - New Look Inspire

This old dress is one of my absolute favourites for my 'I can't be arsed' days!

Both of us were beaten by cake today! I just can't choose a fruity cake when there's something chocolatey on offer, but they're nearly always too rich & too dark for me. I never learn! Massively regret passing up the orange tiramisu cake; bet I would have managed a whole slice of that. The boyfriend is under strict instructions to remind me of this fact the next time we go to a cake stall!

Next week I'm going to try to make up for the outrageous amount of eating out and take always we have had recently... thank god for the £1 a bowl fruit & veg chaps!

Weekending

 Hey Y'all! Another night out, another yummy outfit!

I wore my delicious Asos Curve bodycon dress, still available here (get your regular size!) and dressed it down a bit with a white cardi (from Primark - as always!) and my iridescent moulded crocs (similar here).

 My Giant candy clutch bag (Maison Martin Margiela for H&H - sold out but turns up on ebay!) got a ridiculous amount of attention last night. Brixton is a place where skin-tight catsuits in dollar bill prints, crazy hair and earrings the size of my face are quite standard attire, so I find it amusing that so many people were fascinated by my shiny silver bag! Anyway, my point is that if you want something to break the ice with when your out, get one of these, because it seems to mesmerise both men and women and they will ask you about it!

I really think that bright blue eye makeup makes brown eyes pop, so rather than going for a neon coral lip ink to match the coral in the dress, I went for smoky electric blue eyes instead.

 This is an old pot of collection 2000 eye shadow, but I know Barry M does one that's pretty much identical called 'electric blue'.

 Today involved a trip to Herne Hill market to munch on some yummy things so I went casual.

This is the t-shirt from the Lichtenstein exhibition (available here). This is the biggest size (large) and is quite wide, but sadly a bit short so I'm wearing a vest underneath to stop my belly escaping!

Moustache hoop earrings from Asos, cardi from primark, jeans from Dorothy Perkins and Daps from H&M.

 I bought the Bourjois intuitive liner to try out. To be honest I don't find it intuitive at all! I consider myself to be quite good with liquid liner, and I've tried many types, but this one is a pain in the bum! The idea is that you put little dots along your eyeline to make your lashes look longer, but the sensation of dotting along my eyelid makes me blink which is a disaster when it comes to liner, and I think it looks crap anyway! Having said that I think it's quite effective on the lower lash line, but it needs smudging otherwise it looks like a damn mess.

 Anyway, in all honesty I didn't want it for dotting, I wanted to see if I could make interesting flicks out of it. It's just about possible, but I will need to practice - particularly as one eye worked straight away, but the other took about 10 attempts!. Frankly it might be easier to just paint 3 separate lines on with my regular liner!

 The best part of the day was finding some Sicilian olives at the market - sorry, that's a lie, the best part was the slice of Chocolate and Guinness cake I got from 'cake love'.... oh my feckin' god it blew my mind, even my boyfriend went gooey over it! Anyway... I've been trying to buy these olives for ages but I've never found a stockist until today. They're the best olives I've ever had, so fresh and delicate compared the the usual suspects, drowning in oil and saltier than sea water! I'm also looking forward to trying this 'custard apple' after dinner!

Right, I'm off to make some dinner and dye my hair (you can probably see the white taking over again!) but I've got loads of clothes on order at the moment, some of which I'm SO excited to try on and review so I should be back soon with Dorothy Perkins jeans, Asos dresses / tops, Anna Scholz for Simply be & Domino Dollhouse. Greedy bitch!
