Live for the (long weekend)

The best thing about the impending Royal Nuptials? The two day work week! Wahey...Tuesdays are my day off, so I only have to be in Wednesday and Thursday. Unfortunately we have a new system launch on Thursday, which is also my birthday and we're going to be working flat out to provide our usual standard of service, so there won't be much celebrating going on (8am start, 6/7pm finish, no thanks!).

Spring.Sunshine.Summer?

Happy Easter! Who's already in a chocolate coma?(photo from weheartit)Dear Uk, please start selling Peeps. I LOVE the marshmallow good/badness.This weekend has been glorious...hot, happy inducing summer sunshine; I could get used to this! It's made all the more sweet by actually being able to appreciate and enjoy it all this year, rather than it passing me by in some kind of blur.Outfits have

Midi Ground

Firstly, WOAH, thank you so much for all the votes on the Matalan Style Project so far! If you haven't voted yet and fancy popping on over then do feel free!Now, this is yesterdays outfit. The dress is Primark; expensive Primark at that. I don't think I've ever paid £15 for a dress in there before, but there is something quite balletic about it and I love the midi length, so I parted with my hard

The Best Things

This has been a good weekend. Fact. Today has barely started but I can just tell it's gonna be a good 'un.Yesterday involved:- sunshine (mainly)- a picnic in Castle Park with one of my best friends who amazes me more and more each time I see her.- realising how much I LOVE life.- getting an early birthday present, and it being exactly what I NEED/had been wanting to buy.(thank you again Becca!)-

Animal Magic

So last night I had my first night out as a proper member of staff at work! It was leaving do for one of the ladies and we went to an Italian restaurant (a big milestone in itself!)The dress I wore was an "omg must buy" from River Island. I first saw it on ASOS and was tempted despite the £39.99 price tag...so when I saw ONE left when in town last Saturday, in my size AND in the sale at £20 it

Work; the wide leg edition

You might think, that given my aversion to fitted trousers [that I am now over-coming, thanks to the amazing feedback] that I'd find the wide legged variety somewhat easier to wear.But in truth,if anything I find it harder. The name gives the clue. Wide.As in, as much as slim fitting shows what I want to hide...the counterpart can add un-wanted bulk and make me feel...dumpy. For want of a better

Jazzy[y] Pants

Sometimes impulse buys work out perfectly,the trousers below, for example were chucked in my Primark basket on the dash to the checkout, with the rationalisation that "at only £8 they'll be fine to sleep in" after my mission for both trousers AND PJs had failed (or I lost motivation in the heat and seething crowds).They were the first thing I tried on when I got home. I rarely try things on in
