Inspiration #1

I've just been pinning on Pinterest! and thought I'd do a blog post on some of the pictures I have repinned on to my own boards. Pinterest is so good for inspiration for fashion, food, hair, beauty, interior design - this list goes on! There is a board for everything.

As you can image I repin loads! Below are some of my favourites, hope you like and find them inspirational too.

Shoes over food... or both!

You know me- I love a shoe!

I have two new pairs to add to my collection.

Fly Girl from Schuh. 

Vans from schuh.

This week I went ice skating with the girls from work and for some yummy food afterwards! We went to a vegetarian restaurant Hendersons. I highly recommend it, the food was amazing and the service great!

This year, I decided to have a little theme with my wrapping instead of just buying novelty Christmas wrapping paper. (I have no idea how I am going to take these back home with me along with two weeks worth of clothes and outfit options for a night out and New Years Eve!!)

On the subject of a night out - I wish I had a spare £50! I do not normally shop in River Island, but I walked past earlier and spotted the dreaded Sale vinyl in the window and thought what the hell, I'm going in! I tried 3 items on, first two were awful! The third - not normally something I would even try on - but I loved it, but as I said, if only I had a spare £50! (This was in the sale too!) I would probably only have worn it the once on the night out, then it would have been added to my 'one wear' collection of dresses! 

Do you have a NYE outfit?

Christmas Party Time Again.

Its that time of the year again. Christmas Party and the stress of what to wear to it.

For me it was particularly stressful as it was my first 'head office' party, so I wanted to look just right. And everything I tried on, just didn't look just right. I try something on and I instantly know I want to wear it, so I buy it. This usually happens when I don't need anything or do not have the money! This occasion I literally tried everything on. The below photos were the possibilities and the photos aren't great as they are in the changing rooms whilst I was stressing out! ha. I tried so much on, but these made it into the maybe list.

I was in London for work the Tuesday and Wednesday before the party on the Friday night, so I thought 'of course I will find something in London on Oxford Street, or Carnaby Street or Regent Street.

One good thing room my London trip was visiting this amazing restaurant- Mildreds. See the foodie shots below. I just can't help myself!

What I actually ended up wearing to the Christmas party was a boiler suit from Topshop. And I didn't get a photo to show you! It's from Topshop and wasn't what I thought  I would wear to the Christmas party. But I blinged it up with some jewelry and my gold clutch bag. Glamed it up with false lashes, lipstick and heels! And I loved it! Can't wait to wear it out again and casually during the day! I'll make sure I get some photos next time.  

What did you wear to your Christmas party? Or planning on wearing? There has been so many offers and promotions for the perfect party outfit! I wish I was having another one!

12 days to Christmas

I can't believe it is 12 days to Christmas! That means in 11 days I travel from Edinburgh to Sheffield to see my family! yay! I actually cannot believe how quickly time has gone since I moved here!

I need to do all my Christmas shopping still. I'm useless! And to top it off I'm writing this blog from my bed as I have been poorly sick. I hate being poorly, I feel like I'm wasting time resting to get better. But if I don't rest then I don't get better! 

I was looking online last night for Christmas jumpers, I didn't buy one in the end as the original one I wanted I can't afford! I love this jumper! Its a good job its sold out or I probably would have just purchased it!

Eleven Paris @ Selfridges

The cheaper one I wanted probably wouldn't have been delivered to me in time to wear to my works Christmas lunch next week. And its just not as nice as the one above, right? I would have just ended up always comparing it and then probably not even wear it! 

Boohoo

Here are a few other favourites of mine that are available - most of them pretty ugly but that's the point, and at least they are festive!

Topshop

River Island

Miss Guided

(how nice is the bag! I'm going to see if that is on there website now!)

Feeling Christmassy? I still am not. Maybe it's because I'm poorly? Or maybe it's because I need that Eleven Paris Christmas jumper! I think it's both!
