Hello my lovelies!

First of all thank you so much to everyone who entered and left book recommendations - they all sound fab and I will be checking out the ones I haven't read yet very soon!

Now...the important part...I got to use RANDOM.ORG *excited*

This means my winner is FRANKI! Congratulations Franki! I will be emailing you shortly to ask which MeMeMe tint you'd prefer :)

Don't be disheartened if you didn't win, I'm already planning some new giveaways for when my wages come through! I like the idea of getting recommendations as giveaway entries so rest assured I have plenty of potential giveaway questions lined up to ask you!

Hello my lovelies!

This post is super late and I'm so sorry! I was waiting for my sister to email me the photos and so had to wait till she was back at her computer. She took these with her super snazzy new camera as well so hopefully they're better quality than usual!

The weather's been horrible recently but last weekend in East Kent it was surprisingly warm considering it's apparently autumn already (someone tell August it's supposed to be balmy and sunny?). On the Saturday Nat and I wandered round Canterbury and I showed her my favourite place by the river, it's just so pretty there when it's good weather!

I know I'm wearing an outfit I've probably featured on the blog before but it's a comfortable one and I needed to be comfortable!

On the Sunday I decided to debut a pair of...JEANS!

These coloured jeans are from Dorothy Perkins and I absolutely love them. I think they're perfect for work too as we're not required to dress up too much and they're very comfortable. Unfortunately I think I'm between sizes at the moment as they've already started to go baggy, which is why I usually avoid trousers! I paired them with a River Island top and my battered New Look flats.

I'm not sure why my hair looks so red in this picture?!

Before I go I'd just like to remind you all that there's ONE DAY (well, a bit more than that) left to enter my giveaway! Get recommending!

xoxo

Anyway, as a thank you in general to all you lovely people who read my inane ramblings I thought I'd offer you the chance to get something back, so to speak! It's not much because I haven't been paid yet, but I figured I could start small and work my way up to better things! So! On to the prizes!

Hello my lovelies!

I don't usually do posts like this because I prefer just buying an item and then showing it on the blog, but the other day I received the H&M Autumn/Winter catalogue and couldn't resist snapping a few photos to act as reminders for when my wage packet comes in! These are a few of the items that stood out to me most and basically the items I'm most likely to try on/purchase.

I'm a sucker for anything that falls under the moniker "fit and flare", and kept missing out on the fab dresses ASOS did a few months ago! These are very similar and also quite a bit cheaper so I can see myself picking up all three colours!

This dress has polka dots. Need I say more?

All of these tops are incredibly cute and could be incredibly flattering! They'd be perfect for work teamed with a nice skirt, so I'll definitely be trying these on!

I've never really been interested in the midi length before but now I have a job I feel rather exposed in my usual short dresses and skirts. These are beautiful though, especially the blush colour, so I may have to try these on to see whether I can carry the length off without looking too much like a midget!

Finally, these dresses are so pretty and would be so simple to just throw on for those days when I can't be bothered to plan an outfit. Love the price as well!

Is it sad I'm mentally spending my wage packet before I've received it? Maybe, but how can I resist when H&M insist on tempting me so?! I promise this isn't a sponsored post by the way (as if I'd get sponsored haha), I'm just a massive H&M fan and always find myself drifting back to them! What do you think of my choices? Do they float your boat or has something else caught your eye?

Hello my lovelies!

I expect you'll all have forgotten what I look like by now, it's been such a ridiculously long time since I last posted an outfit! I keep meaning to take photos before I leave for work but a) I'm usually half asleep still and b) I just don't seem to be able to find the time in the mornings, it just seems to slip through my fingers. To be honest though I've not really dressed up much this last week because I spent a lot of time working in the stockroom so had to wear a boring uniform! Today, though, I went to North Greenwich to watch the football with Jon and go out for our weekly date, so I thought I'd put a bit more effort into my outfit.

I'm wearing a Dorothy Perkins dress that I found on ebay for 99p (not including postage of course!), I do love my ebay bargains! It's such a lovely colour and I love the length as well, it's slightly more modest than most of my dresses haha! I paired it with black tights today because it was a bit chilly outside but it's not something I'd usually do, it looks much better with bare legs and especially tanned legs (fake, of course, I've not had the time to sunbathe...)

I accessorised with my FAVOURITE necklace at the moment...it's only an actual TIME-TURNER* that Jon bought for me as a graduation present! So many people have complimented me about it without realising it's a Harry Potter item, it's so funny! I really like how it looks with this dress as well, the gold and orange just seem to work nicely together!

I wasn't wearing much make-up today because my skin is horrific, it really doesn't like all these early mornings, but I have a couple of make-up bits and bobs I want to write about so I'll save them for a later post. I promise I'll try and find the time to blog more! It surely can't take much longer to get settled in at work!

xoxo
