It is a beautiful Victorian Manor house with stunning gardens and you may recognise it from the shoot I did with Steve Reese. One of his pictures is also my new header picture and it was also taken at the Manor.

Cosmo Crazy!

I'm very sorry I have been such a bad blogger this week! I've been working lots and just feeling a bit outta sorts, just in a bit of a funk I think. Last night we went out with another couple (Biz and Chris!) for some yummy food at an amazing restaurant called Cosmos down Cardiff Bay. It's an all you can eat chinese/thai buffet and so reasonably priced. So we had a nice night and I have had today off to catch up on sleep lost over the last week or so. Anyway I thought it was about time for another outfit post and seeing as I actually got dressed up last night I actually have an outfit to show you! So here it is.

Ok so remember my last post and the 'shopping ban' it lasted 2 days! lol! I was in TKMaxx after a final few last things for my swap with Valencia when I saw this top and a black vest (which I am after anyway) they were £6 each in the sale but I restrained and did not buy them. Now your wondering how I now have the top, yes? Well I went back in with the other half the next day for him to have a nose at the clearance stuff and they were in a new part saying final reductions, and were only £3 each, so I caved,. But am glad I held out to get an even bigger discount (practically 2 for 1! hehe).

Top: TKMaxx (Easel)

Skirt: TKMaxx (Earl Jean)

Sequin edged Leggings: Primark

Shoes: George at ASDA

Necklace: handmade by me

Belt: Newlook

Bracelet/Scarf: Primark (I use this for work most nights but thought it looked cute round my wrist)

Me and Jon

Miss Biz and Chris puling a jib as always.

Jon taking full advantage of the all-you-can-eat! Lol. And believe me he finished it all!

Some sushi for me!

And the amazingly yummy deserts!

I'm extending the current comp until midnight tomorrow instead of tonight because I was late posting it up anyway. So don't forget to go enter it here.

Xmas presents and shopping outfit

Thought I would show you some of my xmas presents because I haven't really been up to anything exciting the last few days, due to long shifts in the pub (last shift tonight, then a whole blissful week off!! Yay)

This was a yummy gift set off the other half's Dad and step mom.

My parents bought us this awesome clock for the flat as we don't have one on the wall (even after 4 years here!)

I bought this painting for Jon from an awesome little stand in a flea market in Canada. Only $10 and it is brilliantly done and really big. It is his all time favourite character and luckily I'm a massive film buff so don't mind stuff like this in the flat. Just need to get it framed now.

The newest Whimsie to my collection. Trusty from the Lady and the Tramp. I got it off my sis.

And here is a quick pic of my entire collection, which is now too big for my what knot. Will have to scour the carboots for a new one.

And my total fav item. A tiny vintage brooch of a pair of legs! How awesome is that!

Ok on to my outfit that I wore to go do some item returning/exchanging.

Jumper: Tesco (I had this 2 christmas's ago off Jon's parents and it is still my fav jumper even though it has a moth hole in the back, I love cashmere!)

Skirt: TKMaxx

Socks: Primark (new! I love the little bow!)

Shoes: George at ASDA (new for xmas)

Belt: New Look

Hairband: Random store in Canada

Bangles: left - market in benidorm. right - Vintage

Am gonna tackle my new camera this week so you might all get some nice shots of cardiff. Plus I'm gonna work out my sewing machine too! New cushion covers here I come!

I have also set up a blog shop, which you can find here. I will be selling new and vintage clothing as well as handmade items by me and my mum!
