recovering.

Hello ladies :)

Hope you're having a nice day. I've been suffering from a serious wine headache so it's taken me a while to get up and around to posting!

I went out with my housemates last night and we all got dressed up for our friend Stuart's 20th. We had SUCH a good night but boyyy have I suffered today.

This is my dress from Desire clothing which is SO comfortable to wear. It's got loads of give but is lace-look and has a real vintage feel to it. A fitted dress wasn't the best idea with a bottle of wine though - doesn't hide the bloating very well at all!

Sophie (on the left) is wearing the leather-look skirt I wrote about in an earlier post and my housemate Laura (on the right) is wearing a body-con khaki dress from H&M. These two always look gorgeous on night's out - major figure envy. With those bodies I think they can make almost anything look good!

I painted my nails with this Plum Nails Inc polish which I got for FREE when I bought two bottles of Diet Coke in Boots a few weeks ago. Couldn't believe my luck...I love diet coke and this colour is gorgeously seductive - one of my absolute favourite freebies!

A night like that required a comfortable outfit today. I went for a quirky top and chunky cardy to bring me out of my hangover mood. Did the trick quite well really...I was back to my normal self in no time. It's funny how an outfit can change your mood.

Top - H&M

Cardigan - Miss Selfridge

Hairband - New Look

Apologies for the hungover-no-make-up face, I've tried to hide it as much as possible!

I'm really looking forwards to tomorrow. My mum, nan, brother and sisters are coming for a bit of an early birthday celebration. We're going shopping (so hopefully I'll have some new bits to share with you) and then for a beach walk before going to TGI's for a big dinner. What are you guys doing this weekend? Hope you're having a good one.

Pancakes pancakes pancakes!

Evening!

Hope you're all enjoying pancake day! My housemate and I put our best efforts into making some for ourselves but it didn't exactly go to plan. You really would've thought that two 19-year-old's would be able to cook pancakes for themselves by now but I think it looks a lot easier than it is! We got there eventually...by eventually I mean about two hours later! They were so so scrummy though. It's a good thing I was wearing my stretchy floral hareems or I do not think I would be able to move right now. I have a serious pancake baby.

First few attempts. :s

Success! Golden syrup...yummy! How do you guys have yours?!

Demonstrating my flipping skills in my favourite floral hareems - Warehouse sale - just £9!! (Bargain alert!)

My Vestry heels also arrived today! I am SO happy with them. They are exactly as I expected...lovely chunky heel, soft velvet finish - beautiful! Plan to wear them out with my Desire Clothing dress which I haven't even worn yet. There really is nothing better than a timeless, comfortable pair of heels. Every short almost-20-year-old girl/woman's best friend. Yes, it's my birthday next week and I am slowly learning to accept that this makes me officially not a teenager, and therefore perhaps not a girl...but a woman?! OH GOOOOODNESS! (note - Happy International Women's Day btw! ;])

Can't wait for Friday. Having a night out with some of my best friends. I always get a little snap happy when we're out so I'm sure there'll be plenty of photos to show you how this look works out. 

Thanks for reading lovelies!

I'll post again soon!
