Inspiration Monday

It's Monday! So it's Inspiration Monday and this week I have actually had time to take an outfit shot. To see all the other lovely ladies, hop on over to Two Birds Blog and check them out.

This week they chose a great outfit shot of Emma Stone.

This is my take on the outfit. I had this dress for my birthday, although it didn't look quite as pink in the catalogue. But I love it anyway! Ha, me, in pink! lol!

I did want to pair it with my grey ankle boots but I can't find them anywhere?!?! So black boots woudl have to do, and it's all kinda rainy here at the moment, so they worked out better.

Dress: Tesco

Jacket: Dorothy Perkins

Boots: Unbranded

Bag: Vintage via Etsy

Plus now I am able to tell you all my good news!

I have finally (thank God!!) gotten myself a internship with a local magazine. I am on a 2 month trial (so keep you fingers crossed for me!) and if the 2 months go well then it will be extended to a year and I will hopefully get a job at the end of it. Yay! But it means I have to work 9-5 mon-fri practically unpaid and still work in the pub to be able to live. It will all be worth it in the end though hopefully!

What are you spending your Monday doing? We are going to be driving back from the wedding today and hopefully by-passing bournemouth beach on the way.

30 for 30 - Day 5 & 6. Plus Bunnies!

So for my disappearing act again, it was another match weekend here in Cardiff which means I was working lots!! I apologise for being slow with my 30 for 30, but I can't do outfits and photos everyday so they will be staggered over the next few weeks. I promise to finish it this time round though. So here is Day 5 and Day 6.

Outfit made up of: 10+11+23+30

So this leopard print top was one of the challenge pieces sent to me by my best friend Heather. I think I nailed a fairly edgy look, and it has changed my opinion of leopard print. You may see some more pieces in my wardrobe soon.

Blue flower hairband from Canada

Mirano Glass Earrings, christmas gift from parents

Vintage brooch from Ebay

This blue flower dress was another challenge piece Heather sent me. It's not my usual style but I kinda like it, and it finally gave me something to pair this vest/tunic/dress thing with (spur of the moment sale buy!)

A few of you who have been reading a while know that I had new baby bunnies when I got back from my Honeymoon in China. And you have been emailing me asking to see some pictures of my little cuties, so here are the first few pictures.

This is Jasper!

This is Delilah!

This is how they like to sleep!

And this is Delilah on her first photoshoot! lol. She stayed still unlike her brother who just kept jumping out of the box! Isn't she cute! Expect to see more photos like this!

How is everyones 30 for 30 going? Any drop out's yet? Anyone struggling or are we all ok?

London Day Trip Part 1

Finally some London picture. The other half decided we should dress up all smart for the trip, as a bit of fun. And we kinda blended in with all the smart business people, which was fun.

So here we are out side the houses of parliament and Big Ben

Dress: Matalan

Jacket: Dorothy Perkins

Shoes: J by Jasper Conran

Necklace: Vintage

And my honey looking like an election advert...Vote Cross-Jones for your next MP. lol!

So here is the first part of my photo tour of the V&A's fashion exhibition. This isn't all the pieces on exhibition, just a selection I liked. Sorry the photos aren't all that good, lighting was quite dark and everything is in perspex cases.

Tracy Emin 2004

I'm not a fan of her art, but this bag is kinda cool

A Wedding Dress dated 1830-33.

The bride must have been short as this dress was tiny.

Designed and worn by Gabrielle Chanel 1965

Barbara Hulanicki, designer of Biba 1970

Valentino Garavani, 1969.

I would wear this dress now, it is beautiful.

Ossie Clark 1971

Zandra Rhodes 1977

Both above maxis are stunning and wouldn't have looked out of place during this summer fashion.

Mary Quant 1967

The 'Piano Dress' by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel 1995

This party dress is just so cute, and I would happily wear it to a ball now.

Horrockses 1957

Catwalk inspiration, 1950's style

I still have another V&A tour post to go, which I will get up sometime on the week end.

Have a great weekend ladies.

I'm off out for drinkies and some food with my girlies

30 for 30 - Day 25

Today I only have 1 outfit instead of 2 as I got home intending to take the last of my 30 for 30 outfit shots, only to find that someone (naming no names!!) had run the camera battery flat and hadn't plugged it into charge!! Hmmm!!

So I can only bring you Day 25

Made up of: 13+19+29

13. Dorothy Perkins

19. F+F Tesco

29. Newlook

Black Tights

Pieces Scarf from swap with Krystal

My hair looks so dark in this photo for some reason but it's really not that dark.

I thought the simple girly skirt worked well with the more edgy leather jacket. And of course my trust B&W shoes! lol!

I just had to show you these fun vase and bottles! You all know I love daisies! All from GreenCycleDesigns on Etsy.

I'm feeling a DIY coming on!

Please follow my Day Zero Progress on my Day Zero blog. I'm currently working on the 5000 question survey, so if you wanna get to know me a bit better, I shall be spilling all over there.

Oh and a bit of XFactor for you all. Im loving this little lady!

30 for 30 - Day 19 and 20

So I thought it was about time I got round to finishing my 30 for 30 challenge. I finished all the outfits ages ago, just hadn't yet got round to taking photos and posting them. So here are Day 19 and Day 20. I'll be posting double days now until I finish.

Outfit made up of: 7+11+25+30

7. Florence and Fred at Tesco

11. Pink Soda

25. Primark

30. J by Jasper Conran

+

Tartan Tights

Leopard Print Scarf (as belt)

This is my new favourite hair do! Lots of people in work and customers think I look cute like this.

I've been wearing this look quite a lot but with different tights. Its really easy to throw on and always looks nice.

Outfit made up of: 1+13+20+28

1. Sans Souchi

13. Dorothy Perkins

20. Tommy Hilfiger

28. Mustang

+

Random Black Tights

Primark Blur Feather Hairclip

This top actually turned out to be a bit of a challenge. Its not so easy to match up with stuff due to its length. Its kinda tunic length. It doesn't look right layered over a skirt and is a bit to long over shorts, but I think I managed to work it tucked in and covered by the jacket in this outfit. As long as I don't wanna take the jacket off! lol!

So thats Day 19 and 20 done just 10 more to go!

30 for 30 challenge - Day 7

Here is my little outfit from day 7. 1 week down, kinda please with my progress so far. Im actually behind at posting outfits as have another 3 already done, may post them in one big post tomorrow. See how I feel and how much time I have. How are you other ladies enjoying doing this, or just seeing this challenge?

So Day 7/Night 7 as you can see

Outfit made up of 13+17+26

13. Dorothy Perkins

17. H&M

26. George at Asda

Peacocks Belt

Vintage Pearls (my bridal ones!)

Dorothy Perkins Earrings (£1 in sale a few weeks ago!)

Armwarmers (can't remember where they are from)

A simple outfit made a little edgier with my leather jacket, which I love!

A few people asked about my denim vest after my last post. I said it was DIY studded although you couldn't see that in the pics, so here is a close up on my DIYing. It isn't finished yet, it's a work in progress.

Some studding on the shoulder.

And some star studs on the front. I still have a plan to eyelet 2 rows up the back and then lace them with ribbon, like a faux corset. I was also gonna dip bleach it so it has a faded gradient colour, but I'm not so sure on that bit at the mo.

Anywhoo...

Here are my fav few remixers from yesterday

Gospel of Style

One Room School House

Proficiscamuri

The Trickle Effect

I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I saw this dress, is it not totally amazing? Like seriously? The colour, the flowing fabric, just everything about it is perfect! I want it, please!

Don't forget to enter my giveaway ladies. I have some Lancome, Nars and Eyeko products up for grabs.

Please vote for my outfit on Weardrobe, here, here or here. I would love to win some modcloth stuff!

I would also like to ask every one again if they could possibly sponsor me for the Race For Life. Just read my post here to see what I am on about. I shall be running on sunday and am miles away from my £100 target at only £22, which is clearly awful! If everyone of my readers just sponsored my £1 I would hit that £100 in no time at all. I don't like to beg but this is for a really good cause!

Thanks
