Had a little trip to town with Heather and Andri today... didn't exctly turn out how we had hoped, but hopefully everything will be fine :)

Picked up a couple of bargains in the New Look sale;

This white/blue anchor dress - it was the last in the store so I got it for a mere £5, which was great since I've been eyeing it up online for quite some time. Planning on wearing it with tights, grey cardigan and a thin belt to pull it in slightly.



Second bargain was this floral dress; I don't have many floral items in my wardrobe, and with it being in the sale it's the perfect time to change that (and it has pockets, which is always a bonus IMO). Again, I'll wear it with tights, black lace-up boots, or black flats and a long cardigan in the winter.

I wore the jumper that arrived yesterday morning from the New Look website; comfiest thing I've worn for a while - would suggest getting one for the Winter.
Today I wore it with black tights, denim shorts as the sun kept poking out, and black lace-up boots. I was also happy to not have to carry my hoody round as it's soo big, but the jumper kept me warm all day.
Top - New Look, £12; Denim shorts, £7; Tights, £2.50 - both Primark; Necklace - Vintage.

Now I'm off to Jack's for a lazy night in, I'll probably post another outfit tomorrow :)

Flicking through the Sunday Times this morning, I read an article about this band, O Children.

Never heard of them before, but when I listened to them I got really excited; I love Tobi O'Kandi's eerily dark voic mixed with the elecrto/industrial elements of the songs - reminded me of Justin Warfield, singer for She Wants Revenge.

Anyways, their song, Dead Disco Dancer is too good to take off, but I listened to it so many times that the guitarist whispering "The disco dance is dead", freaked me out; Lame I know...

But you shoul definitely check them out, they're one to be watched.

Ok, new girl/clothes crush time...
On my way home from Jack's this afternoon, I happened to buy about four magzines, cream soda and plenty of Buttons to keep me occupied this evening. In most of the magazines were photos of Dree Hemingway, the great-grand-daughter of Ernest Hemingway.
She's a ballerina-model, and without a doubt the new It girl to keep an eye on.
I like her simple outfits and bed hair; unoriginal but somehow it looks fresh on her.

So I know I'm a little late with this post, but I finally got hold of all the photos from mine and Jack's holiday in Cornwall in May. Most of the photos are the scenery from Perranporth beach; we spent 99% of the holiday there, and of course of our pirate Lego castle! Had so much fun I can't wait to go back :)

Ok, I know it's like five months off, but I've found something I'd like for my birthday:

#1 - A Hello Kitty doll dressed as an Alpaca - cutest thing I've seen in a loooong time ^__^

Since it's only about £14 I can't say no!

#2 - I found a link a friend sent me for a blog post on the teeniest, tiniest little kittay ever... I'm still broody for a kitty, though I doubt I'd be allowed since our dog, Hippy is about 6ft when his paws are on your shoulders, annd while he's harmless, I'm sure a tiny little kitty would get slightly irate from a massive dog sniffing and licking it 24/7 :(

Ahh I can hope.

I'll keep adding to this as I find things :)
