Birthday fun

I had a lovely day on Monday with my hubby celebrating my birthday and we celebrated as any other shopaholic would by going shopping and then to dinner, all that shopping works up an appetite!
I was treated to breakfast in bed by the hubby while i opened up my gifts. I was really surprised by my lovely friends who sent me gifts that i never expected so a big thank you to Lolly,Rebecca,Beth and Becky.

My lovely hubby was very generous this year and got me some lovely clothes, two pieces you have seen on Wednesdays post.

I had to include a picture of the card my mum got me, how cute is it?!

Here are a few sneak peeks of my shopping purchases

Primark 3d manicure

New look purchases, i have bought another pair of shorts as i
love my pair so much

Boots, Primark i have lusted after dm's for years but they
are too expensive for how often they would be worn so
these are the perfect alternative

Shirt from Yours

Dress from Tesco

I also had a lovely lunch but as I'm sure you know by now I'm always to eager to tuck in so never mange to get picture of the yummy food!

How do you celebrate your birthday?

Invasion of the Killer Curves

My lovely hubby bought me this t-shirt for my birthday and i couldn't wait to wear it ! So much that i decided to wear it on my birthday to go shopping and for dinner.

I did try the t-shirt on when it first came to check it fit and i did tweet a sneaky picture, a few other bloggers said they had it or were about to buy it so we decided to show you how we styled it.

The t-shirt is £12 if you fancy one yourself and is available in sizes small to xxxl here. I decided on a xxl as i wanted a loose fit so the print didn't stretch over my boobs and crack (this always used to happen to me when i was younger and wore t-shirts regularly) and I'm really happy with the fit.

My hubby also got me this jacket for my birthday which is from Tesco you all know I'm a sucker for leopard print so this is a great addition to my wardrobe. The jacket is available in the F&F collection and also the True collection so you can get in up to a size 28. The jacket is oversized so i sized down to a 20 and there is still loads of room. You can get the jacket here for £20.

I wore the t-shirt with my short shorts from New Look and thick black tights. The t-shirt got a lot of attention while i was out and i think it completed my outfit perfectly. This has to be my best birthday outfit ever!

Up until my hubby bought me this i didn't own a t-shit but this has opened the flood gates and I've got another 2 which you will see in a post over the next few weeks. I love this t-shirt and would love to see the lovely Betty Bee making more of these with different designs, if you haven't got yours what are you waiting for ?! Get it here :)

That's my take on the tee how about checking out these other lovelies now, i can't wait to see their take on it!

Have you got this tee I'd love to see your take on it too ?

Grandma chic

Today i turn 26 so what better to post today than a dress that wouldn't look out of pace in my nan's  wardrobe ;) I love vintage clothes but i really love pieces that i have or could have seen my nan wearing.
I actually wore this outfit yesterday to visit my nan and she commented on how nice it was. I'm sure this dress won't be to everyones taste but i love it !!

The dress came from eBay for the bargain price of £3.50, its a size 24 which is a little to big for me but it buttons all the way up without gaping so yey!

The dress had a label in it for Changes i did a quick google search and it seems this is a brand offered by Marisota, it does seem to be aimed at the older end of the scale but that doesn't mean there won't be something you'll love. I sometimes find vintage dresses in my size and style hard to find and although this isn't vintage i think it does have a old feel to it, so it goes to show you can achieve a vintage style even if you can't find vintage in your size or style.

The dress came with back ties but as its a bit too big for me so i added a belt from another dress. The material of the dress is quite thin which will be great for the summer and it has a lovely floral print on it. 

I wore the dress with Primark shoes and headband and a brooch I've had for a while that was from ebay  like the dress.

The hubby was looking very handsome so i had to take his picture too!

I love this dress and i felt great in it, how do you feel about granny chic?

XOXO

I won!

I was the lucky one that won the lovely Beth of Tinkerbell and the Lost Girls giveaway that she had for her birthday. I hardly ever win anything so i was really surprised and happy when she posted to say I'd won!
So what did i win ?
Burt's Bees lip balm with pomegranate oil and a lemon butter cuticle oil, and 2 Barry M nail polishes in raspberry and turquoise.

Murrys manicure nail files, Eldora false eyelashes and Flicktips eyeliner extensions.

Models own nail polish in Indian ocean and Hedkandi Ibiza mix.

MUA make up palette.

I can't wait to try all these things out! I've already painted my nails with the models own Indian ocean it's such a nice colour and perfect for me at the minute as I've had a few broken nails recently and i like a nice pale colour than doesn't draw too much attention to that.
The lovely Beth also included a birthday gift for me which was so sweet of her! I am waiting until my birthday on Monday to open it, i can't believe I'm going to be 26 !

I hope your all having a great weekend 

XOXO

Sales Swallows

A few weeks back i went shopping with some lovely ladies you can see that post here, while i was there i found two dresses in New Look i loved. This is one of them

I managed to get this is the sale for a bargain price of £9. I really love bird print and i have a few of the New Look bird dresses in my wardrobe but i love how this is a more relaxed style.

I got this dress in a 24, i did try on the 22 but i liked the looser fit i got with the 24. I did see this dress when it first came out but i never got around to getting it so I'm glad i picked it up in the sale.

Its really comfy, made from a soft jersey material and is long enough for me to wear with tights or leggings. It has a thin material string to tie to give the dress some shape.

I wore this with my trusty Tesco leggings in a size 20 and my New Look cardigan size 22. This cardigan is great for the colder weather and it has been getting a lot of wear recently, i can't recommend it enough. The shoes and headscaft are from Primark.

Do you have a print that you can't get enough of?

XOXO

Its been a busy week

I really don't feel like I've had chance to do much this week it all seems to have been work or sleep!
I have however had a few minutes to spare and place the odd few eBay bids, here's what I've been buying
All 3 are dresses were bargain prices and will be featured in OOTD's soon,

Won for £3.50

Won for £13.99

Won for £4.99

I have had to wait around at work at little too so i managed to get some reading done i have read 2 books both by Mandasue Heller who is a great writer. If you haven't read anything by her then give her books a try i haven't read a bad one, i love them all.

I also managed to get my hands on one of these which let me tell you are so delicious!

So my week has been pretty busy but i have a few days off next week which is great, i can't wait to have a lazy day!

What have you been doing this week has it been a busy one for you too?

XOXO

Snow Day

Last week the lovely Kieron asked on twitter if anyone would like to review some wellies and as we were having some pretty rubbish weather at the time i jumped at the chance.
I'll let you into a little secret i haven't owned a pair of wellies since i was about 10, I'm that girl that goes out in the rain and snow in nothing but a pair of ballet pumps, not one of my best decisions I'll admit!
Now after getting my hands on my first pair in 15 years i love them!

I decided to go for this pair, having big calves ankle wellies are the way forward. This pair are really cute and at £16 a great price for a cute fun pair of wellies. I got these is a size 5 and the fit in the foot was great, i found them a little tricky to get on but maybe that's because I'm so out of practise.

I thought these wellies went perfectly with my red dress from the fat swap and my thick black tights. As I'm sure you've noticed i got myself yet another pair of cat ears, these ones are faux fur earmuffs from Accessorize. 

These wellies are fab they are comfortable and keep you feet lovely and dry and have quite a good grip on the bottoms too so no slipping and sliding. Barratts have a great selection of wellies go and have a look if you haven't got yourself a pair for this winter, great prices and so much to choose from! 

I've found a love for wellies now how about you ?

XOXO
