The Best Bits - July 2014

Thursday, July 31, 2014
This year is just going by all too quickly. That's all I'm going to say on the matter. July has been a good month, to kick things off I finally found some Tutti Frooties on sale (honestly it took me ages to find anywhere that sold them) and they are as tooth threateningly hard as I remembered. Nice though. I've been having a...

Doing something about it.

Thursday, July 24, 2014
So I had a little grumble about feeling out of sorts a few posts ago, and we have a rule in our house that we're only allowed to grumble if we're prepared to do something about it. Truth is I've been feeling pretty crappy about myself for a while. It's all my own doing, I don't eat particularly well and I've let my...

Charity Shop Finds

Friday, July 18, 2014
I love those days when you go into a charity shop and find loads of really cool stuff. I had some time to waste before my dentist appointment (teeth are A-OK, yay!) and I ended up leaving with an armful of bits and pieces. I've given up looking at the clothes in my local charity shop. The prices just keep going up and...

So what do we do? What do we do?

Wednesday, July 16, 2014
I couldn't resist a Garden State style photo. Have you seen the film Garden State with Zack Braff and Natalie Portman? If not, watch it, it's a great film. This is the second of the Boohoo maxi dresses I purchased recently. I'm inexplicably drawn to anything with a blue floral pattern. It's just the tiniest bit see-through, so I had to find something...

Freaky little things and another job completed.

Monday, July 14, 2014
Life can be freaky sometimes. Twice in the past few weeks I've been contacted by companies asking me if I want to review things (this doesn't happen very often - i.e. once in a blue moon - which makes it seem all the more freaky). Both opportunities have been so perfectly timed that I'm beginning to wonder if I'm playing a Jim Carey...

Chelsea, Chelsea, I believe that

Friday, July 11, 2014
I love those serendipitous moments in life, and this one is no exception. I was browsing the ASOS sale, for no particular reason (as you do), when I happened across these... half price at £25.00 :OD I admired them back in February but quickly forgot all about them. Then the Shoe Gods smiled upon me, guiding me gently back to the website with...

Warehouse Maxi Dress

Tuesday, July 08, 2014
This summer is fast becoming the 'Summer of the Maxi Dress' for me. I've said it before but they're just so darn easy and not just because I don't have to worry about leg stubble to wear them (although that is a definite bonus). (Did you see me go head first into a post with too much information there? Did you?) Anyway, prickly...

A Homemade Tassel Necklace

Sunday, July 06, 2014
I saw this necklace on Wearing It Today and clicked through to Accessorize with the intention of buying it, but when I looked at it more closely, I though 'I can do that' (or some version of it). And so I did. I had some jewellery making paraphernalia kicking about already so I just needed some waxed cotton and extra beads - the...

One of those days

Saturday, July 05, 2014
Yesterday I had one of those days when I got out of bed not quite feeling myself. I was having a fat day. I don't say that out loud very often because I find I get a general response of 'how can you have a fat day!' Well, I can, and I do. Being small does not mean you can't feel uncomfortable in...

Vintage Postcard Finds

Thursday, July 03, 2014
I popped to my local high street this week and found these in a lovely emporium near the station. Crammed to the rafters with all sorts of bits and pieces I often spend time wandering around gazing at all there is. This time I spent ages flicking through their vast array of old postcards. They had some particularly lovely specimens, so nice that...
