Dress. Cardigan. Shoes. Necklace.

I'm always stuck between Autumn and Spring being my favourite season.

I don't like being too cold, and I don't like being hot either... yes, I know, I'm a weird one.

But as the nights are getting darker sooner and there's a chill in the air, I started looking at my clothes and whether they're suitable for Autumn.

Not so much. Uh oh!

I'm not going to be able to just buy a whole new wardrobe but I can try getting some staples that will go with all sorts.

Sadly, I don't have enough dresses that I really want to wear this Autumn. I've dug out my really thick tights so they're ready. The dress situation must change!

I really love the colour and pattern on the dress shown.

Cardigans... Oh how I love cardigans. And yet, my super thick ones have disappeared. I have a suspicion that I accidentally left them behind when I moved and unfortunately, I cannot retrieve them back.

I'm after a really chunky warm cardigan for this Autumn & Winter, and when I walked into Asda and saw all their new stuff, I was practically drooling! P had to drag me out of the store.

This is definitely going to be bought first! 

And shoes! I badly need some decent ones. I have some that are still wearable from 2006! Dear Lordy! I did buy some ankle boots from Evans a few years ago and they were fantastic, but they're reaching the end of their life and I need to replace them. 

What's your favourite item of clothing for Autumn?

Goodbye For Now, Little Brother!

He's moving to Texas today! Such a massive step but I'm proud of how L's being all head-on about it.

We don't talk that much, but I am going to miss him!

Hopefully he's going to keep in touch...

I've got many more embarrassing pictures but what I'm going to remember, is when I stayed at our Dad's house and we'd draw Scooby Doo characters until we had to go to bed.

And watching the wrestling at our Nana's. And arguing over who's the best wrestler. The Rock is my opinion... Yes, it has been a long while since then!

The hugs I'd get when I saw him at a family event. Always finding him taller!

I love you little brother. You may not remember these times, but I sure do!

Good luck for the future!

Good luck for the adjustment once it sinks in that it's your new home.

And thank you A for loving my brother.

I am definitely not going to be saying goodbye. Seems so final if I do.
Just gives P & I an excuse to go over there for a holiday some time in the future!

It's Here!

After much hassle and lots of emails going to and fro, and a couple of phone calls here and there... it's turned up!

To be honest, I started panicking thinking that I'd just ordered from a company that are no longer up and running. But alas, it is not so! They emailed back, and it finally got sorted.

I was slightly annoyed with myself and the company because thanks to their website saying that my order was still processing, I actually missed the delivery for quite a few days.

But that is over and done with and I still have to find somewhere to store it! Argh!

It's so incredibly perfect! I burst into tears as soon as I tried it on and looked in the mirror. Ended up thinking about my Dad and how he would have been if he'd seen me and cried harder!

It's been nearly 16 months since we got engaged and of course we knew we're getting married, but it seems much more real now.

What Would I Wear?

My brother L is moving to Texas on Wednesday... and getting married in November!! :D

He & A are such a cute couple! L isn't one for showing affection, but A has brought that side of him out. 
Looking forward to her being my sister-in-law even if I don't get to see her :(
It's going to be so weird not to see him at future family events... I've always known that even though I don't see him now, there's always been that factor.

After talking with A about the type of wedding her & L are wanting, I got to thinking about what I'd wear if I was able to attend. 

Sadly I can't as it'll be in Texas, but I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures of them both!

Dress: here.

Cardigan: here.

I already have some plain black wedges that would finish this outfit off.

Just looking at this cardigan makes me think of an Autumn wardrobe. But that's for another time!

A Thrifty Wedding #4

We bought the flower-girl dress!

Looks so cute and for such a low price, we just had to get it!

Can just see E-R walking down wearing the dress with her curls bouncing. Eeek!

The cheapest price of a dress so far was £50 and as we're trying to save money as well, we didn't really want to spend that much. So when I saw this for £14, it was perfect!

We had a choice between this one above or...

This was in fact just £13 but the colour seemed quite dark for a little girl as a flower-girl in the summer. 

I also got some hair accessories! So lovely... and never been used!
They popped up on Freecycle and I immediately asked about them, and I got a reply straight away saying I could have them. Didn't know what to expect really, but when I picked them up and checked them out... I'm so glad!
Only problem is, I did think I already knew how I wanted my hair... now? Not a clue!

My Week in Pictures #2

Balloons at the carnival. 

Teddy bungee-jumping off the church, again part of the carnival. 

A ride at the carnival... Used to love these as a little girl. 

Did two lots of spaghetti bolognese sauce. Miss my veggies!

Lovely double rainbow <3 

Tigger! Got to hang out at D's house today and spent some time with this lovely fella!

My informal interview outfit... Sadly I found out today, I was unsuccessful. Feeling quite gutted!

Rainy day outfit.

I want one! Alexsandr looks odd...

A meal to cheer myself up.

Currently Loving...

I'm not sure if this is going to something permanent, but I have to share with someone!

Katy Perry - Roar

A female version of Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines.

I do warn you... this is quite rude haha!

I'm also currently suffering from a bug at the moment so it has gave me the chance to rediscover The Vampire Diaries! 

I only managed to watch up to a certain episode in S2 when it was on TV. The one where Damon's friend Rose is dying? That one. So emotional!

 I'm on disc 3 out of 5 in Season 2... yes, yes, I know. I'm very far behind. But that's what DVDs are for! I can't seem to get enough.

As ever, I'm also loving Supernatural. 

Watched the penultimate episode this morning and I can't wait to see the finale next week!

Excitement!!!

The starting day of the time period where my dress arrives is tomorrow!

Still have no idea where it's being stored!

Need to ask around and try and find some wardrobe space...

Have I mentioned where I'm getting it from??

JessyDessy

There's so many pretty dresses!!


All I need to do for the dress is find somewhere that can alter it if needed.

Fingers Crossed!

I had a job interview today. I've been soooo nervous! It's for an Office Assistant and I'm more than confident in my skills. The only thing I don't know how to do is faxing, but I can learn that easily!

This is what I wore.

It was an "informal" interview. I am going to admit, that has always confused me.
But from what I learnt today, it's just a chat.
I think today went well, and it looks like a great place to work. Was told today that I was one of 35 that was picked from over 150 applicants... hopefully I'll be one of the 5 that they pick for a second interview!
Fingers crossed that they liked me!

I Want Her Style!

I recently came across a Kiwi TV show called The Almighty Johnsons.

Thank you Netflix!

It's not everyone's cup of tea but it seems to have hooked me in. I'm actually disappointed it ended with Season 2 & I can't wait until Season 3 is available.

Anyway!

It's not just one of the characters style that I like, but two.

Gaia & Dawn. Otherwise known as Keisha Castle-Hughes & Fern Sutherland.  

Two completely different style and yet I wish I had the courage to wear either style.

Gaia

This style is definitely the inner me.
I'm looking forward to seeing what her style is like in Season 3!

Dawn

This would my office style. I'd love to work in an office. It seems to be something natural for me, but when it comes to working clothes.... HA! 
Absolutely no clue.

My Week in Pictures.

Clockwise: Jensen Ackles... need I say more?! Love Thursday mornings when I get to watch Supernatural from the previous nights recordings.

T.J's pumps for school. They're so small! Can't believe how grown up he is!

Belated birthday cake for T.J.

The pirate ship at T.J and J-L's school. P & I surprised them one afternoon by going to pick them up.

I'm absolutely addicted to these chicken burgers at the moment! Once I add the lettuce and tomatoes, they're absolutely massive!

I baked muffins! Just for fun aswell, no special occasion needed. It's been a long while.

Late addition to the pictures... But I was ordered to take some Vitamin D tablets. This was the closest I could get for the right dosage and without calcium. May need to start introducing mushrooms, tuna, orange juice (yes, I was quite surprised about that! I just thought it was full of Vitamin C) and eggs to my food once again. 

Any other suggestions?

Do I Or Don't I?

I'm really considering introducing ombré to my hair. 

Autumn & Winter usually means I bring dark colours to the table. But this time, I'm wanting something different. 

I've experimented with my hair before by dyeing it blonde, black, dark brown, a bright red, and dark purple. Obviously not all at the same time, hahaha! That would certainly be a funny sight! 

One time I did end up with blonde roots, red for a bit of length and the rest black...

I'm getting super curious about the ombré.

My hair seems to do it naturally but end up red at the ends. I really do regret dyeing my hair red!! Does anyone else have problems with red hair dye and their after-effects?
