My Favourite Dresses for Nights Out

For someone who has an 18 month old and therefore doesn't go out on the town much I have far too many dresses!

Here are a few of my recent favourites, although I do have many more that I love!

Topshop £9 in the sale!

Missguided approx £23

InLoveWithFashion approx £30

ASOS £22

These pictures were all taken on nights out between January and now!

I would love to see your favourite going out outfits! x

FreeBra Update!

If you didn't see my post on my recent eBay purchase of a FreeBra then here it is for you: freebra

I just wanted to do a little update for you incase anyone was thinking of buying on from this seller!

I did send the seller a message to say what had happened, that they had sent me the wrong size and it initially took going backwards and forwards a few times for them to understand what was wrong, they kept saying 'But you ordered a D'! When they eventually got the picture they then would not believe me and said that the items get checked 3 times before being sent out, so I offered to send a photo of the packaging where it clearly states Size C but they have never replied with their email address so I am unable to do that!

For the price I paid its not the end of the world and my friend is able to make use of the bra, but I just think that the seller should have acknowledged the mistake!  I would not have sent it back aS it would have cost too much all the way to China and I would probably have ordered another but as they have been so unhelpful I am not going to bother!

Ho hum! Can't win them all!  x

Wish List!

Just when I think that I have all the clothes etc that I need and should steer clear of town for a while I find a reason to pop in and see more things that I need (read want)  This time it was meeting my sister off of the train for the weekend.  Now I could have simply driven to the train station picked her up and gone straight home, but alas, Simon had taken the baby car seat to work so we had to get the bus, the Naomi was an hour late..so what was I supposed to do...

Here are a few things I spotted and am now desperately trying to resist buying!

Gingerbread Ultra Soft Jeggings These babies come in so many different colours and I really can't decide which I like the best, I think the Gingerbread, Wine and Forest Green ones are my favourite 3 but I do also like the Green, Ginger, Mid Wash & Indigo ones and black is always useful to have! Blimy!  At £23 they are a good price (probably not so great if I get 3 pairs...) and I think these will be perfect for the Autumn and Winter tucked into high boots which cosy jumpers over the top!

Ombre Twist Jumper  How cute is this?? And it would look great over the aforementioned jeggings!

Abama Western Ankle Boot These would be great for a Mummy like me who gets sick of always wearing flats but has to push around a buggy! The heel is nice and chunky so they are casual enough for the day and sturdy enough for me not to go flying when I have Thomas!

Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stain So I know everyone already has these and I do have the shade Rendezvous already, but I have seen a lot of swatches of the Honey shade and I think it looks lovely so I would like to pick up that one next!

DKNY Pure I have almost run out of perfume - horrors - and this one is my favourite so I need to pick up a bottle sharpish!

Sadly our microwave, hairdryer and washing machine all decided to give up in the same week, so I have a few more pressing things to buy before I can think about getting my hands on this lot!

What have you got your eye on at the moment? x

Not relevant but here is a Charlie pic! Judging by the Popeye arm I need to lay off the spinach...

Autumn Inspirations

Whilst I love the Summertime and the fashions that go with it (not to mention evenings sat outside and days playing in the park with Thomas) it is hard to get overly excited with the weather not being able to make up its mind!  I have barely made use of the Summer skirts and shorts I bought, ho hum!

So seeing all the Autumn fashion inspiration pictures popping up on Pinterest has made me very happy indeed!  I love all the seasons as they change and I like to really make the most of them, if possible!  In the Summertime we can only hope to be able to wear our playsuits, maxi dresses and shorts on a handful of occasions but in the Autumn it is pretty much a definite that we will be able to bundle up in some cosy outfits!

Here are a few of my faves from Pinterest recently.  They seem to all have a similar look!  I just love the simple look of tall boots, cosy socks and a big knit! Simple, cute and cosy, winner!



      

You can find me on Pinterest here  I must admit though that my boards are all a bit muddly and I need to go through and repin things in their rightful homes! Opps!

What are you excited about wearing this Autumn? x

Date Night - OOTN

Simon and I had a date night yesterday and went to Pizza Express, which is always a favourite of ours! This is what I wore:

Dress River Island £22
Shoes New Look £7 in the sale
Belt Primark I can't rememebr the price as I have had this belt for years!

Raspberry sorbet...so yummy and matched my dress!

Here is my handsome husband!

ASOS and Elle Magazine freebie samples

Recently I ordered this dress from ASOS, (featured in my LOTD here ) when it arrived I knew I would love it even before I put it on and I was right! I can't wait for an excuse to wear it now!  To add to the excitement I also received a few free samples! Whoop! It is always nice to receive a sample but I was especially pleased as I already use these products or brands daily!  I got a sachet each of the Tresemme Split Remedy shampoo, conditioner and leave in treatment.  The leave in treatment sample was particularly good as you get a fair amount in there and it has lasted me just over a week so far and there is still a bit left!  I also got two small tubs of the Nivea soft moisturiser, which I haven't previously tried but I do use the regular Nivea creme a lot!

Then today I picked up Elle magazine and they have a sample of St Tropez gradual tanner included with this issue.  You can pick between shades light/medium and medium/dark and the tube size is 75ml, which I think is pretty good for a freebie!  I was actually looking for a different mag which was sold out so the free gift helped me to choose Elle as an alternative!

. I am currently making my way through a bottle of the Garnia gradual tanner so I shall keep this one sealed until I have run out!

I know that these freebies are nothing too major but I get really excited at just the smallest gift or sample so these all made my day! 

Have you had any good freebies recently? x

FreeBra

Recently I seem to have acquired a few tops that have low backs or are racer style.  For this reason I wanted to get myself a NuBra.  I had one years ago and wore it to death so I wanted to try another one out.  If you have not come across this type of bra before it is basically two silicon pads, or chicken fillets as they tend to be known!  You need to apply them to each breast separately and then you clip them together in the middle.  They are great because you can space them further apart or closer together depending on how much of a cleavage you are after!  They are the perfect bra for any style of top that would ordinarily show off your bra straps or cups!  They come with a sticky adhesion on each cup which you need to gently hand wash between each use.  As you can imagine this does mean that the bras have a limited life.

I had a search on eBay and came across these FreeBras.  I thought that the combined price, including postage, was really reasonable so I decided to give this one a bash.  I ordered mine on the 23rd June and it arrived on the 20th July, which I am happy with considering it has come all the way from China.

When the bra arrived the packet was completely squashed, I would have liked to keep the item in its box to help keep it clean and retain its shape so that was a real shame, although I suspect that had more to do with the postal service than the seller!!

The actual bra is exactly what I expected.  It comes with clear straps as well if you like to use those, personally I wouldn't tend to unless I was perhaps wearing a low backed top where you wouldn't see the straps at all.  The cups are fairly thick so if you are not after extra padding then this is perhaps not for you, I don't mind either way, I wasn't looking for extra oomph but I certainly don't mind getting it!  The clip feels sturdy but I would imagine that you would still need to take relative care when putting the bra on and taking it off. 

This bra is only available in A through to D cup and officially I have a bigger bra size, but I decided to go for a D anyway.  Unfortunately they sent me a size C so this will be no good to me.  I am a bit gutted but I have sent the seller a message and hope to hear from them soon.  I think that by the nature of this type of bra one size smaller will be okay but two is pushing my luck, I don't want them to look droopy after all and I think a C would just sit at the bottom of each boob!!

All in all a good product for under £9 but a shame that I got sent the wrong size!  I will keep you updated when I hear back from the seller!
