thanks for the well wishes for yesterday
it went wonderfully well, and I didn't spend money bar bus/lunch.

Not wearing anything exciting today, just a floral dress and somewhat faded yellow tights.

Hiya Min What have you been up to?

Hiya Girls & Boys :P


I was hoping that I could join, After all I think my entire wardrobe is in need of change over! But I have no idea where to start!

Ok, So a little about me, I have been with my partner now for over 4 years, Been a carer for just under that time. On top of all this because I‘m forever busy I have been eating rubbish & today the pounds hit back!….It seems this past year I have lost my fashion guru inside.

I’m 23 & my partner is 24 - Yet everyday I’m dressing like I’m 80!
I no longer feel sexy!

So, Can you all help? I’m looking to start making some major changes.

I have given up smoking nearly 4 months ago next week!
I’m also looking at loosing the flab!
I’m on a very basic budget - But I really want the old me back!

Any top advice!

Thanks & hugs in advance!

Welcome Princess, feel free to ask any questions, we are quite a varied bunch on here with different styles but we all like to be stylish without breaking the bank. My top advice would be to check out charity shops and car boots, i have had some gems lately and i enjoy the thrill of the chase.

*waves* Hellooo Min!!

Pf, i share your frustration..

Morning all!

What a dismal day. Jon's driving up North to pick up our latest eBay purchase whilst I'm attempting to sort out my holiday clothes.

Today's outfit:
TopShop Baxter skinny jeans (Car boot)
Vintage chiffon floral top (Pressie from an Aussie blogger)
Office Tapestry knee high boots (Hospice shop)
Masses of ethnic jewellery (India)

Hope you're not all naked today, it's far too chilly.

Oh gosh, loads! *thinks* I became an auntie again (nephew was born on the 9th August and is adorable), OH and I went to Munich for a few days in September, and I have two weeks' work experience lined up at my brother-in-law's friend's ad agency in December. Otherwise it's just been work and shuttling back and forth to London.

I might blog about it later providing it gets here in one piece!

I'm feeling very lazy today, all my summer clothes are in a massive heap on the bed and I can't be a**ed to do anything with them. Hard to get my head around packing for a hot climate when it's so vile outside.
