OOTD

I'm loving the new Dolce & Gabbana inspired star print popping up everywhere this season. I nabbed this cute pussybow dress from Tesco a few weeks back. It's so easy to just throw on with some leggings and a pair of boots for quite a formal work outfit.

The angle of the photos I took don't really do the dress justice, so I've added a picture from the website to give you a better idea of how lovely the dress is!

OOTD

Over the past couple of months I have been loving this deep red/wine colour, I've got tops, trousers, undies, socks...you name it, I have it in this colour! There's a lady at work that always happens to point out when I'm wearing this colour too which is almost a daily occurance- embarassing! What I don't have though are a pair of boots- particularly in an oxblood colour leather (I've looked EV-REE-WHERRRRRRE!).

I've also had to sacrifice the usual urban photos for something more...uhhhm....homely! So I have for the past couple of days been snapping away before I leave the house to get to work.

What colours are you all loving this season?

 

Wine Coloured Chinos (with belt): Dorothy Perkins (UK Size 22)

Polka Dot Top: H&M (UK Size XL)

If you're interested to know what I wore on my feet, I went for my black glitter toms.

ONESTOPPLUS.CO.UK PRESS & BLOGGER EVENT

Today marked the day I decided to get my act in gear and return to blogging! I've taken an extended break to focus on other aspects and commitments in my life (I chair a few tenant groups within my area) so blogging had to take a back seat. I still follow 6782045274 different blogs on my Google Reader so it's time for me to get back in the loop!

So anyway, today was the press and blogger event for the AW11 collection at OneStopPlus.co.uk which was hosted at the flagship Nails Inc store in South Molton Street. We started off the evening having manicures whilst sipping pink champagne (yes, we were spoilt!). I opted to have my nails painted this divine camel-y colour called Fenchurch Street which is part of the new Autumn/Winter collection for Nails Inc.

After getting our nails did, my sis and I headed upstairs to where the magic was happening. It felt like walking in  to a girly haven...rails of clothes, rows of shoes and boots, coat racks of bags, boxes of cupcakes, bottles of champers. I fell in crazy mad love with so many items:

This gorgeous cashmere, batwing sleeved jumper from the Soft Grey range.

Again, from the Soft Grey range, this wooly t-shirt.

Looooooooove these leggings with leather patches!

Loving leopard print right now- this is another wooly-type of t-shirt- LOVE!

Michelle is modelling this gorgeous blueish black satchel, I think it was real leather- either way I need it in my life!

You may not be able to tell from the photo, but this blazer has a (p)leather collar, pockets and ELBOW PATCHES!! Yes, I adore elbow patches! This jacket didn't look too hot on the hanger but when the gorgeous Rosie modelled it for us all, I fell in love.

I didn't manage to grab a photo of the ultimate drool moment I had, probably because I was too busy drooling but how gorgeous are these patent Doc M's? Need these, like, right now!

 I'm not one to big up a company for feeding me cupcakes and quenching my thirst with Champagne, but OneStopPlus are definitely a website I will be frequenting VERY often. I can honestly say OneStopPlus has some beautiful stuff! There's definitely something for everyone, there's a huge range and loads of brands to choose from and loads of things you can get at a steal! What's more, the much coveted Carmakoma also have a few things on the site, so you can save shed-loads on postage! All in all it was a great evening and was lovely catching up with the gorrrrrrgeous Lauren, Deena, Naomi and Rosie.

GUESS WHO'S BACK, BACK AGAIN, MELLYS BACK, TELL A FRIEND!

Hey y'all! Wow it's been a long time! In between work, play time and other boring chairing commitments I have, I seem to have got lost and forgotten about my blog. I haven't been taking many pictures even though I finally got my new camera mainly due to the fact I am embarrassed by the current state of my bedroom and it being the only place I can set up my camera on self timer. I guess I need to figure something out though because I have done nothing but shop so have so many clothes to showcase!

Here's an outfit from a while back when we had some nice weather in London:

Maxi Dress: Dorothy Perkins (UK Size 22)

Denim Jacket: H&M (UK Size XL)

Gladiator Sandals: Evans (UK Size 8 E)

Brown Leather Belt: Dorothy Perkins (UK Size XL)

Hopefully I can start posting a bit more regularly again! Thanks for sticking with me folks! xxx

BIRTHDAY GIRL!

You guuuuuuuuys!! I've been so busy since I started work but I actually miss blogging every week! I even had the cutest outfit on today- fear not though I will wear it again one day soon!

So tomorrow I turn the ripe old age of 26 and because I am still waiting on my new camera (which arrives tomorrow) I will share some nostalgic photos with you:

(Baby Mel a few days old) 

(My 2nd Birthday)

(On my 5th Birthday)

I promise promise promise I will be back with regular-ish posts soon! Hopefully in a lot better quality too!

AWOL

Hi guys! I must apologise for my absence. I don't like leaving my blog too long like I have the past few weeks. I have been super busy with all sorts. I've been preoccupied with sorting out a 'work wardrobe' for myself, buying bits and pieces that are more smart/casual rather than my beloved jeggings. I've also been busy organising Royal Wedding parties and just generally being a busy body.
I shared with you all a while back how my boyfriend broke my camera; well I ordered a new one and have been waiting forever for it to come in to stock and in the meantime I can't find my old one so haven't been bothered to photograph my outfits! I'm sure my new camera will be a good incentive to start up again though so fear not!

Anyway, till my camera arrives things will be quiet over here!
