I wear my grandad's clothes

Can you believe it snowed today? I thought we'd finally got rid of the snow when February arrived. I rushed home after work and immediately made soup and tea to combat the cold temperatures. Brr! Inevitably, I ended up internet shopping and having a sneaky peek at one of my dream shops. My wardrobe is full of designer goodies and luxury gifts. I'd like to think that one day a man will take the initiative, pop on there and buy me some pretty things. I can but dream!

With a sale on at the moment, My Wardrobe is much more affordable for most people. I would never be able to buy a pair of £200 shoes so they're here purely to show you how pretty they are. The blue swirly diary is definitely something I could stretch to though...

So I've had a little play around with my blog and changed the background to a kind of purple fan design. What do you think? The Diane Von Fustenberg phone case here looks really similar actually! Blogging is a really love/hate thing for me. Some weeks I'll post everyday and other times I will barely write at all. Must depend on my need to shop/swoon over sparkly things and how much I want to share my thoughts with you. In an attempt to curb my expensive shopping habit, Ebay has become my biggest friend after I've bought a few beautiful bargain dresses from there. I have discovered a cheeky little ASOS outlet thing which is a real treat. Shh, don't tell anyone!

I'm a creature of habit. Just like my dad, I always park in the same parking space and I like what I know. That also applies to the clothes I wear. Black always seems to be my go-to shade and I wear it in some form every day. I suppose it suggests that I'm not very adventurous but then if it ain't broke...

On my quest for a new outfit I found myself in River Island yesterday. The stock varies in RI quite massively and sometimes I wouldn't wear anything in there but then there are other times when I could buy everything I see! Yesterday was one of those days. Luckily, I managed to settle on a top and skirt combination in my trusty black and left the shop feeling pretty smug with myself.

My evening consisted of dancing, cocktails and good friends. I'll be following that up today with more of the same with an added Mexican meal thrown into the mix. Now that February has rolled around I suppose it is time for me to get ill so I've been suffering with a terribly sore throat since Friday. Honey and lemon it is! If you know any other remedies please let me know. I want to be better by this evening.

No more shopping for a while so I thought it would only be fair to share the RI love. Look at all the colour thrown in just for you!

The black dress with cut out shoulders is something I'd wear again and again. Showing a tiny bit of flesh is much better than having it all out on show. Pair the dress with the cream and black heels and you have an instant outfit.

The yellow summer dress is just very cute and would go nicely with some brown sandals and the anklets (next to it). I'd add a black blazer and heels for evening time. Same applies to the beige coloured patterned dress.

You may have noticed there are two of the same top on here. Floral peplum tops can be worn dressed up at night or to work with a pencil skirt. They also both have a really pretty low back.

Then we have another black dress. Told you I like it! It would look good with bright heels and a clutch just to keep it interesting. I'd add quirky gold jewellery (like the swirly ring next to it) and a statement necklace.

On the bottom row it gets a little more girlie. The white embellished top looks gorgeous although I'm not sure it would suit me. I can imagine it looking beautiful on another girl though! Same applies to the pink skirt. Girlie just doesn't suit everyone!

It's time for me to settle down and watch the end of the rugby with some soup and buttery bread. Happy weekend!

Today is so not warmer! What were the weather people on about?! I still haven't managed to take my coat off after returning from work so I thought the laptop might be a good source of heat due to the fact it's old and liable to overheat at any moment. Of course, I can't sit with a computer and not look at clothes online - pretty sure it's impossible. Today was the turn of Topshop and so here are a few of my favourite picks:

I think it's time for some rice pudding to warm me up a bit!

All along it was a fever

Where did January go? We only have a few days left until February and that means Valentine's day. As a single girl this year, I will be spending the weekend with friends having a girlie dinner and a few cocktails to celebrate our freedom. My online 'window' shopping has led me to some beauties by Nasty Gal so I thought it would only be fair to share with you. Below are some favourites from the site. If I wasn't saving for the holiday of a lifetime then Nasty Gal would have all of my pennies by now!

Seeing as this post is a little bit Valentine's themed then I thought I'd post a few slower tracks that I've been listening to recently.

One of the most beautiful covers I've heard in a long time.


I love Rihanna's softer side. Much more appealing when she just uses her voice!


Slightly in love with the lead singer and his excellent jumper.
