Anyhow black leggings from M&s (£10) most disappointed with these holey after about 6 wears. Nude vest primark (£1.50) ditsy floral short dress that skims all the right places:p via good freind and neighbour. Black wedges new look via car boot £1.

Bangles flowery earrings, hair bumped and tons of make-up today:D

Stll thinking about a blog.. much to consider!!

Yes! Things I'm keeping:

A pair of stripey Kate Moss shorts from her first TopShop collection that I've coverted for ages but didn't want to pay £40 for (£1)
1970's Stevie Nicks silver dress with huge sleeves (£2)
A Longchamp saddle bag (£1) just googled the name and nearly had heart failure - tres posh make!
...and something Alex will approve of, a very battered 1935 edition of Alice In Wonderland with cute illustrations of Alice sprting a very flapper-like bob haircut (50p)

Oh I approve very much of it all! Ace news about the shorts and the bag and dress sound fabulous.

Muchly looking forward to seeing the book. I adore old books and illustrations - so much more interesting than modern day versions.

Oh I went to the new look sale at lunchtime ;S

Well - technically, I went to town to try and find a pair of wellies..Which didn't go too well. Found some in the end, but was suprised there were none in NL, or Peacocks, thought it was festival season?!

But did get two plain s/s tees (denim-blue, and a turq) £2 each
And this - my justifaction being that as "Alice" is my camp character, I have to dress up for the mad hatters' tea party on sat eve.. (the girls are making hats from newspaper / recycled card etc durting the day's activities, so they will be the Hatters, and my camp team are Dormouse, Queen of Hearts (her little boy is WHite Rabbit - i found him some ears at the car boot lol), March Hare and Tweedledum and Tweedledee...)
at £7 i figured it was cheaper than buuying / making an alice costume....
That said, I have somewhere got a prom dress i made from alice-printed disney fabric...that's just gone on my list of things to find / pack this eve!

Alexnikov

That's a cute dress and quite wearable even when you're not dressing up as Alice The prom dress sounds fab though.

I am thinking I really must attempt making something with my sewing machine. It's just scary

Pah. the prom dress was a botch job really, the material is ace, but I didn't know how to fit it, so basically laced up the back. Which is kinda ok, but the front (bust) area is always a little loose!
Will try and get a picture for the blog though!


*must stop procrastinating* only got a few more things to do, but am taking ages and letting myself get distracted!

Alexnikov

Don't look at me for tips on how not to procrastinate. I am a world champion at it!

Hi girlies,
Sorry I've been away for ages, I just feel that I've nothing interesting fashion wise to say and I can't keep up and feel left out.
Alex, your outfit sounds fab and very glam. I must have a nosey through the blogs when I have time.
Sharron, you can contest parking fines, I think Martin has writen a guide. Usually if the signage isn't clear they drop it according to what I've read. You need photos of where you were parked and the lack of signs to back it up.

Outfit:
Nude vest
Denim cut off jeans - now hotpants as I made them too short!
Fitflops

See - how boring is that?

Alexnikov

Sounds perfectly fine to me Vicki Did you have a nice time camping? We missed you!

xxvickixx

Thanks Alex x
Camping was wonderful, the site was so clean and peaceful, if anyone is ever looking to camp in Sufolk then I can highly recommend the Moon and Sixpence. It's only 45 mins drive away from home but I'd never been up that way and the coast and towns up there are lovely.
