SUMMER WHERE ARE YOU?

Hiya Guys, here i am with another post! Like i said in my previous post, i am here to stay for good this time. I really want to start focusing on my blog more as it really is a positive thing for me to focus on and i enjoy it a lot. Its something that i can do every week and it helps make me feel not as "worthless". Even though i'm not a "professional blogger" or earn any money from it, it is like a job! And i really enjoy doing this and want to keep doing it for as long as i can. I hope then even when i'm a "proper adult" with a real job, real working hours, hopefully a family and whatever else my life takes on that i still continue this little blog of mine! I was never that girl who was great at keeping diaries. I always started them for a wee while, then id forget to write in it one day and never go back to it. Until i found it in a corner somewhere gathering dust... (Well, not really gathering dust, but you understand what i'm trying to say). 

So what i quite like about my blog is that it is a bit like a journal for me. No i don't type up my most private darkest secrets, but if anything happens or i'm doing anything its recorded and stored right here on my little space of the internet. So hopefully in years to come, even if i'm not still blogging i will be able to look back at my life a bit and remember some of the "not so important" moments of my life and the "important" ones. Even when i have children they will be able to look up this little ol'blog and have a nosey at what me and their dad got up too and my (i'm assuming by then) god awful out of date style. As it will be by then! 

So today i didn't get up too much, i had an appointment at 11:30 so we made sure we were up in time for that as we had to travel a bit further than usual. Then we picked up Chris mum for a little spot of lunch! We then came home and Chris cut the grass as we have finally got a dry enough day. I'm so looking forward to the summer when i can get some lovely flowers and put them in my front garden! Do you like lovely flowers in your garden? Or are you a gardener yourself?

I'm sorry... I have the goofiest smile EVER!

Excuse the pink socks! :P

OUTFIT DETAILS

So i actually threw this together half asleep this morning... As i said i had an appointment and i didn't give myself much time to get organised. So i thought i would go for the "bright trousers and black" look. As it was quick and easy to throw together! I seen these "jogger type" trousers which i hadn't worn in a while and since we've been getting slightly nice weather i thought they would be awesome to wear as they are quite light. Plus i didn't want to throw on my bright lazy oaf leggings again, as i've worn them a lot recently and done a black look with them. So because black goes with everything i thought it would be a quick option to grab a black top, leather jacket and some black & white heels to match the top. I chose these clog type heels as they have black and white on them which matches my band top with white writing.

BETTY BOOP YOU CLASSY GIRL

Hey everyone :) i've not really done much today, went to see Chris' grandparents and he treated them to a Chinese for lunch. It was delicious and i have leftovers for munchies later wooo! For the past few years its been a bit of a tradition to see them on a wednesday and go for some food. So it was a bit of a thank you. After i've posted this (as well as my lookbook & chictopia) and had some dinner i think i'm going to have a look around the flat and see if anything needs a tidy. Theres so many things that i want to tidy up in the flat or move about, like storage cupboards and under our bed, but i can't do that until we save for a shed to put in the back garden. Its fine though as after the wedding we're going to work on making the flat a little but more homely and "ours". So we've both agreed to not worry about that sort of stuff until we are officially Mr & Mrs! But it still dosent stop you from wanting to get in there and get on with it!

Todays outfit is actually from today, unfortunately i was un-able to photograph what i originally wore yesterday. I was so annoyed and angry at myself, basically there was a wine glass of baileys in the shelf of the fridge door. Just before we went out food shopping, we were obviously checking to see what we actually needed. Too many times we've not checked, only to go shopping, come back and realise that theres more than you'd like to admit you've forgotten. So i'm going to look in the fridge i grab the door and swing it open realllyyy fast only to have a full wine glass of baileys and milk (i dilute every alcohol with something i'm a weakling) to fall right onto me then onto the floor and smash. I was not impressed.

I really wanted to get yesterdays outfit captured as i quite liked it, but i'm gonna have to wait until the top has been washed and dried now. Oh well i guess its something to thrown on when i don't know what i'm doing! Also todays photos are taken in daylight! Just with Chris working now (works from home but i don't like to disturb him!) when he finishes its dark, but it already seems to be getting lighter in the evenings weird...

OUTFIT DETAILS
I started off with the dress and i thought it would look cool layered together with this jumper. I also liked how it brought the dress down from being overly girly, plus the little bit of pink in it matched. I couldn't choose between 4/5 pairs of shoes but i decided to go for the teal boots to match the slight green/blue in my jumper. I was going to add maybe cons/creepers but i didn't want he outfit to be too grungy. I thought, as well as the hat, the heeled boots give the outfit a more of a "chic" touch. As well as still being a little tough with the oversized black sweater. I added my converse bag to add a casual touch and one of my favourite necklaces as i think its awesome and the colours in it is gorgeous!
