Birthday weekend!

So, Monday was my birthday which meant,naturally, I had to out and celebrate over the weekend.

On Saturday I went out for the night with some friends and decided to wear a black lace dress from Dorothy Perkins.I discovered that I really really like this dress! I like having sleeves and the length was great as I could wear the dress without tights and not feel self conscious (I hate my legs!).I wore a pair of red shoe boots that I bought during the summer in London in a shop that, for the life of me, I cannot remember the name of. Naturally being out and having one or two drinks I never got around to taking a proper outfit pic (blogger fail I know but I'm new at this) but this pic gives an idea of the outfit.

 And this one shows the sleeves ..and me blowing out my flameless birthday candle..as you do.

 Shoes!

On Sunday night I went see Mick Flannery perform an acoustic show with a friend. Who's he? I asked the same question. It turns out he's a guy with the most beautiful voice! YouTube him! I wore a black & white playsuit that found in Penney's..on sale. It cost a whopping 7 euro #Bargain! I also wore a black blazer from Oasis that I've had for a few years and a pair of shoe boots (obsessed with shoe boots much?) from Dorothy Perkins. Please ignore the weird look on my face in the following pic, I really must learn how to pose.

And,of course, the shoes

Hope everyone had a good weekend xx

Hats off to Winter

Winter time is my favourite time of year. It has everything I like… long nights, crisp cold days, Christmas and… my birthday! Another one of my favourite things about this time of year is the clothes I get to wear. I’m a big fan of winter accessories, the hats, the gloves, the scarves. I love love love hats, I wish more people wore them.  The chunky knitted bobble hat is, of course, a classic (gotta love a bobble!). I wear bobble hats in two ways. One being the basic “bobble on top of head” way. 

The other way I wear it is to unwrap the hat and wear it as a longer hat with the bobble falling down by the side.

 

Another style of hat I love is the “floppy hat”. I have this style in a few different colours and I love them all! I think these hats have a slightly more fancy feel to them, maybe it’s just me but I feel like much more of a grown up when I’m wearing one of these hats.

And finally, how much do I want to own this hat. Too cute!

Does anyone else love hats as much as me??

Just heading out for a few....

Just a quick post on what I wore while out with friends this weekend. I went a bit more casual this weekend as we were “just heading out for a few”, I decided to go with jeans and a shirt, both from Dorothy Perkins. It being the 1^st of December, however, a bit of Christmas sparkle had to be thrown in, it really feels like Christmas time now doesn't it?

 

 I recently rediscovered these boots that I bought last year from Penney's (cheap and cheerful), it seems they’d been thrown aside and forgotten about (shame on me). Finding them was a happy surprise, it was like getting new boots all over again, so they had to get an outing, and they kept my feet toasty warm #winning . If I remember correctly, at the time I bought them they were reduced and only cost me around 12 euro...bargain!

 

Hope you're all keeping well  xx
