Grey Like The Sky

Skirt from French Connection, shirt from Topshop, necklace from Accessorize, boots from Schuh

I do want to apologise for the wrinkles in my skirt. If you knew me though, you wouldn't be surprised because I never iron anything. Never! My mum only irons what she has to, so I never really understood the need to iron everything. Luckily, most my clothes are pretty non wrinkly, but some (like this skirt!) are, and to make things worse, my entire wardrobe is currently at the stage of Needs To Be Sorted Out And Folded Neatly All Over Again! I'll get to it right after I put up this post...

Heading off home to tidy my wardrobe?!

It's The Little Things

Top from Lucca Couture, skirt from Vero Moda, boots from Schuh

Today I took advantage of the improvement in the weather and asked my boyfriend to do an impromptu photo session across the road from Waitrose before we got some ingredients for our dinner!  I was wearing one of my usual outfits (black skirt, black tights, black boots!), but with one of my favourite tops. It's such a pretty, feminine shade, and I love the little details: the lace at the shoulders and the bottom, and the slanted edge is very flattering.

Looking very serious because the sun is in my eyes!

Then I went home and cooked dinner. Ingredients included courgettes, chopped tomatoes, sausages...and one pretty top, now splashed with oil!!!

Last time was worse though: my boyfriend left me alone in the kitchen for about two minutes, and when he came back I was in floods of tears. As soon as he left, I somehow splashed hot oil all over my hand and wrist, then put it under the tap...but I always forget which tap is which, and instead of cooling cold water, I put my hand under the hot hot HOT tap! Pain and tears ensued.

Hopefully the oil will come out and my top can live happily ever after!

I was NOT smiling like this after I noticed I'd splashed oil on my top!

What's At The Bottom Of Your Jewellery Box?

I don't usually often wear necklaces. It's not that I don't like them; I just never remember to put them on. Or I remember just before I leave the house and go to look, only to realise that the one I want is tangled up in the middle of a jumble of other necklaces, bracelets, and the occasional hair band or two. With that in mind, I decided to have a search through my boxes of random bits and pieces and put some of my forgotten pendants in a safe place in the hope that I will actually be able to find them and wear them when I want to. It seems a waste to have such pretty things hidden away in boxes when they can add so much to an outfit.

I found some fun pendants...

...some gold pendants...

...some heart pendants...

...some silver pendants...

...my moonstone...

...and I put them in these cute little pouches.
