    Morning,

    Lola - hope your boy has a brilliant day.

    Bought a mustard dress from Topshop that makes me look like I'm in Star Trek fancy dress! Pics in the usual place.

    Morning, I'm still in my PJs - eek. :eek:

    Just received a skirt I bought on ebay. Apparently in excellent condition but the zip appears to be faulty. I have emailed the seller but it would probably be pointless to send it back - argh.

    Also had a look in H&M for that dress but it wasn't there - probably a good thing as I need to save lots for the next few months however I did buy myself a head band (need to wear a ponytail in my2nd job and it needs jazzed up!) a nice scarf and two necklaces from a seller on Facebook. Very unique and handmade :D.

    Got to get dressed and take the LO for his MMR jab but he is choked with the cold, don't think they will give it to him. Maybe just phone and see and it saves taking him away outside.

    Its also mine and the OH's 3 year anniversary on Wednesday so we are taking the LO for a picnic in Princes Gardens in Edinburgh. Fingers crossed for good weather!

    Back again - been to large toy shop and game shop for DS to spend some of his birthday money - currently on his xbox waiting for friends to come round, having a little party tea at tea time for friends.

    Sarah - that dress looks gorgeous

    Outfit today
    Black Linens from Primark -too big and getting tatty around the hem
    Striped boob tube top George
    White cropped cardi M&S
    Black crocs FromUS

    OMG!! just realised I paid full price for everything in this outfit- that must be a first!!! I was going to wear a maxi dress that I bought from New Look back in May but its sooooo long can't decide whether to keep it or ebay it

    PS Gorgeous necklaces Mia

    Sharon - yes he's off to big school - has been a Mammys boy but suddenly I can see independence kicking in, I've always walked him to school having DS2 but he has to get the bus from Sept as well.

    Morning all :)

    Outfit consists of:

    Indigo skinnies - DP
    Cream vest - DP
    Grey and white pinstriped shirt - River Island
    Pearl studs - Accessorize
    Flower & pearl cocktail ring - Primark (sounds monstrous but is actually rather funky)
    Black cowboy boots - Evans

    I feel like it needs a belt so I may whack one on later. Then I'll be accessorising with a Liverpool scarf and a big coat as I'm off to the footy later and I don't want to be cold!

    Lola - happy birthday to DS! Do you have lots of birthday cake to eat?

    Sarah - love the dress!

    Nici - have a lovely lunch :)

    Mia - wow, that jewellery is great. Really unusual too.

    Sharron - well done on the weight loss:T I don't think I'll be carbooting this weekend. No spare cash at all and it's the only weekend till about the end of September when I'm home and not doing anything. So I'm going to do the ironing :rotfl:

    Currently having a bit of a ponder about accessories for my cousin's wedding in a couple of weeks. I have the dress (strapless prom dress style with abstract red and purple flowers, BNWT from a car boot sale), the shoes (red IC suede shoe boots) and the wrap (red, ancient). But I don't have any jewellery that looks right with it, or a fascinator/hair thingy. Bah! Don't really have time to trawl through etsy - any suggestions?

    This is the link to her FB (I hope I'm allowed to post it, if not someone tell me and i'll edit it out.

    Thanks, I love Edinburgh too. The gardens are lovely in the warm weather and its fab seeing a wide variety of cultures during the festival season!

    I'm still not dressed - oops! And the steam generator on my iron has decided to stop working :mad:. Still works as an iron though so I refuse to buy a new one :rotfl:.
