Never in your wildest dreams

H&M skirt
H&M top
Primark coat
Primark rings
Such a late night post, and I'm absolutely shattered! I've spent the last 2 hours searching for a specific part of my HTML code that was disabling all the links on this page. Hopefully it's fixed now! Let me know if it's not. I've also been tweaking my image sizes but can't seem to figure out how to keep my signiture small. All this HTML and CSS fries my brain!

Anyway, this skirt went into the sale online a few weeks back, but it's not on there anymore, but I know they only went into sale in store last week. I've been wary of skater skirts since they became quite the thing this year. It gets so tiring seeing a skater skirt paired with a crop top every weekend in work, but I couldn't resist this one, it's super flattering! I guess some of those girls can be forgiven for always having their midriffs out.

Food Diary #4

Meal 1
This was more of a brunch than a breakfast. I had such a busy day cleaning I honestly forgot to eat. I had the last of the chocolate chip brioche with chocolate spread, a chopped banana and fromage frais youghurt washed down with a glass of apple juice.
Meal 2
After spending over an hour cleaning my bathroom I grabbed a bowl of my favourite crisps to munch on. These are available from Aldi and are on parr (in my eyes) with Kettle Chips.
Meal 3
For lunch I had tomato and creme fraiche soup with a white bread roll. I didn't really like the soup. Won't be buying that again.
Meal 4
At about ten o'clock, after I'd finished all the ironing I decided to cook lasagne. I couldn't finish this whole meal, I definitely underestimated the size of these little pyrex dishes. I made two and put one in the fridge for Daniel to have the next day.

Gosh Mandarina Lipstick

Gosh Velvet Touch Lipstick in 152 Mandarina: £6.49

Peachy orange lipsticks are a shade that I didn't have in my collection until I picked this one up in Superdrug. I'm not familiar at all with the Gosh brand and this is the first of their products I've tried. The packaging is very slick which for me is always a winner too. I was browsing the Superdrug website and this isn't actually available on there, but you can definitely get it at the Gosh counter at your local Superdrug.

Mandarina is a nude peach that is opaque in a few swipes. The formula is so lovely and very pigmented. It's the perfect level of creamy and very hydrating. I've been reaching for this so much recently in the heat, partly because it's perfect for my 'barely there' make up look and because even as it fades after about 3-4 hours it leaves a lovely peachy tint on the lips.

Goodbye my lover

H&M dress
H&M sandels
Primark floral crown
It saddens me to say this will be the last time this dress is featured on my blog. Sob. I got bolagnase sauce on it last week and thought all was well when I immediately whipped it off and attacked it with Vanish. I didn't wash it until this morning though, but who knew Vanish would burn a hole in your clothes?! Let that be a lesson to you all! I'm going to keep an eye out on ebay though because it's one of my favourite dresses. I might even resort to ringing H&M's to find out if they have any in stock anywhere even though it's in the sale.

Less of my bad day, who loves my floral crown? If you do, I suggest you get down to Primark and snap one up pretty quick! For £3 they are the perfect dupe for the gorgeous Crown and Glory ones. I paireed it with this dress (still sobbing) just because I love that mix of girly and tough.

Food Diary #3

Meal 1
Best of both toast topped with cheese and beans. Washed down with a glass of O.J. Very filling!

Meal 2
A small bowl of pretzels. I've been loving these since Aldi did a little range of American treats the other week.

Meal 3
Yes, I'm the girl who likes plain pasta. I occasionally get a craving for just a bowl of plain pasta, I added a bit of salad too though because of the heat.
Meal 4
I'm having pie again! This time it's meat and potato and I had my much loved homemade mash.

Remember only God can judge ya

Primark crop tee
Primark headband
I'm so tired today! I left the house for work at 9 this morning planning on being back by about 3 after visiting my nephews, and at about 6 o'clock tonight I strolled through the draw (it was more like dragged though the door with heavy bags of food shopping weighing down each arm). I'm soldiering on though and I apologise for my 'tired eyes' in the above photos.

I've been feeling headbands a lot lately since I bought a floral crown from Primark last week. This little black bow one has been in my collection for years and I only rediscovered it today. I've really been wanting a pair of cat ears to prowl around in too but I haven't found any I've fallen in love with yet.

This skirt I picked up a while a go with a £50 ASOS voucher that I won. It's so comfy and airy and paired with my crop tee made the perfect monochrome outfit. I debated my yellow neon satchel or my new H&M shopper bag and settled for the latter since it's bigger and manages to hold everything.
