Sat on their park bench like bookends

// Jumper- Matalan // Skirt- New Look // Necklace- My Grandma's //

Hello everyone! I thought I would share a little outfit of the day with you today. The weather lately has been so confusing- the mornings here are cold, foggy and wet, and by the time I finish work in the afternoon, it's warm and sunny! This outfit, paired with my Converse, was today's answer to the fickle weather.

The jumper is a new one I picked up in Matalan in the children's section. I love their children's section! They have such gorgeous items, some of them so similar to the adults clothes, at a fraction of the price, and their age 15 pieces are the same size as a ladies size 8! This jumper was only £12, whereas similar ones in the ladies section were between £20 and £30! I have received so many compliments on it too. It's so classic and simple, however the detailing such as the lovely shape of the sleeves and the buttons running down the back stop it from being too boring.

This denim pencil skirt from New Look was this summers attempt at stopping myself getting stuck in the routine of wearing my skinny jeans with everything. Having a very active 18 month old means that most skirts simply aren't practical- I don't want to spend all day worrying about either flashing people or treading on the bottom of my maxi skirts! But this skirt is brilliant- it's stretchy, comfortable, and long enough to save my dignity! I love the shape and it goes with almost everything.

How are you all? I am still working 7 days a week, but treated myself to my first night out in a very long time last week! I was a little bit worried about being too old now I'm a mum, but it felt really good to get dressed up and spend a night with my friends not stressing about work, weddings or nappies!

birthday treats, charm necklaces and free goodies!!

hello :) I thought I would finally show you a few of the goodies I got for my birthday!! It's only a month late :) I thought I would show you a few of the prettier things I got for my birthday- having just found out I was pregnant, I asked for more practical things and money than pretty and exciting presents! and Im sure none of you would be very interested to see lots of plain maternity vests and t-shirts, and maternity jeans!

I was very lucky and got quite a few cath kidson items :) I LOVE cath kidson! My parents bought me a pretty floral sewing box of hers, with all sorts of cath kidson goodies inside. I got a very cute bouquet pin cushion, pretty tins full of useful bits and bobs like sewing needles and pins, and lots of cotton reels. My auntie bought me a cath kidson mug, the one I have been wanting forever! It has flowers and strawberries and is so so pretty ♥

I was also treated to lots of jewelry this year, which is perfect to make my outfits at the moment more interesting! You can get pretty maternity clothes, but most of the nice things are ridiculously expensive, and I don't want to pay £40 for a top that I can only wear for 9 months! So most of my maternity clothes are fairly plain, but all the lovely bits of jewelry I got make my outfits much prettier :) my family all chipped in to buy me a lovely charm bracelet and a few charms- so far I have a teapot, a cupcake, and a floral charm. It is lovely! I received lots of different friendship bracelets too, which are very cute. My parents bought me  pretty daisy necklace, and David bought me a lovely envelope necklace with an 'I love you' note inside, but I didn't get very good pictures of these and then my camera batteries ran out. Hopefully I can show you soon! And I got some rings which I love, lots of big pretty ones! Charlotte very kindly bought me two, one a big mint green heart, the other is the one in the picture, with the mint green stone. I love them! 

I have some new items in the shop! I have some teacup rings, a teapot necklace, and some pretty vintage charm necklaces which you can see above, which charms such as the eiffel tower, hot air balloons, and tea cups and saucers. 

I also have a special offer on at the moment! If you spend over £10 in the shop, you will receive a FREE friendship bracelet! And if you spend over £15, you will receive an owl ring, the same as the one in the above picture, for FREE!!  click here to go visit the shop :)

I hope your all well :)
