What I Wore: A Tent

Hi there!!How's your week been? I have had ANOTHER cold this week and so have been taking it easy.

Here's an outfit I wore a week or two ago. The bf and I had been back from the UK for three days and to further fend off jetlag (we didn't get it - YAY!) we went for a drive and an impromptu bite to eat at a 'fancy' Mexican restaurant after work.

My tent: at least I haven't hidden in black huh!?
Tunic (tent) Vero Moda; leggings, Primark; Shoes; New Look.

This jacket looked a lot nicer in the mirror :)
Jacket, Matalan

Showing you a peek of my new bright lippy!
Necklaces: Shortest (orange and pink beads) given to my mum from my nan, and given to me from my mum!
White necklace, DIYed by moi; Long necklace, Diva.

Bling: Orange ring, Shh By Sadie; Gold ring, found in my old bedroom at home;
Watch, Michael Kors; Beaded bracelet, Shh By Sadie; Gold bangle, Hay Luv.
Chipped nails, model's own ;p

 

My neck attire. I rattled when I walked. This happens a lot.

La eateria :)

I had to take this necklace off. My neck ACHED after wearing so much bling all day!!
Do you ever have that problem!?

 

After three months of wining and dining, I am rather happy wearing tents at the moment, and aim to emerge from my clothing-cocoons in a month or two, looking a little more svelte!!

NOTE: Obviously, Mexican restaurants DO NOT help me with this plan, hahaha :)

Do you ever need to cut down on the calories? What are your best tips? :)

Royal Wedding Dress Up!

Hello my little lovelies! Today is the day some people have been anticipating for weeks - the Royal Wedding. As a Brit, I'm actually not too fussed about the wedding. I think it's lovely that Wills is marrying Kate, and can just imagine how exciting it is to be involved with such a wedding. But I'm not involved and so there ends my interest!

Even in NZ we are celebrating the wedding. We DON'T get the day off work (booo hiss) (and I discovered we don't get May Day off either - booo hiss), but we were sent an email in work yesterday inviting us to dress in a royal wedding theme and to have a little tea party this afternoon. We're 11 hours ahead of the UK so they're all tucked up in bed right now and the wedding footage actually commences at 6.30pm this evening.

I spent a little while rifling through my wardrobe last night for a frock suitable for fun as well as sitting in work all day, but gave up. In the end, I went with my new faux fur, some real pearls and a splash of red lippy. I thought I would rock snooty, aristocratic chic my way! ;)

Fur collar, Asos; Jacket, Valley Girl; Vest, H&M; Trousers, TK Maxx; Headband, Diva; Pearl bracelet, Christmas gift 2009 from the boyfriend <3.

I pretty much always wear nude lipstick and forgot how much fun it is wearing red!This is an old No. 7 lipstick in shade Moulin Rouge. I used to work part-time in Boots and could guarantee that each shift a customer would compliment me when I wore this shade! :D

Accessories! Antique pearl and ruby ring; Boots, Asos; Fur collar, Asos; Cameo, thrifted; Ring, as before; Pearl and elephant necklace, vintage.

Tonight I'm going to a friend's ex-pat party for scones, crumpets and I'm going to take cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches! Fun!

What are your thoughts and plans for the Royal Wedding??
