Outfit Post - Long over due wedding outfit

Sorry this outfit is long over due. This is what I wore to my in-laws wedding a few months ago. I wore it paired with my blue suede high heeled shoes in the day, but as the wedding reception was in a marque in a field I decided to wear different shoes in the evening.

With my beautiful sis.

Dress: Fever London

Shrug: Unbranded - borrowed from my mum

Shoes: Primark

Hairbow: Primark

Bangle and Ring: Gift from my friend Rachel

Necklace: Gift from my Aunty Margaret

With my Hubby

Hope you like it.

Are you doing anything fun this bank holiday? Think of me, I will be working all day

New 50's style dress on a rooftop

I apologise for being such a rubbish blogger this week. It's just been one of those weeks where you don't really feel like doing anything. It's all been a bit blah! Do you ever get like that? You know you should be productive but you just cant be bothered. So all I've done this week is get up, shower, dress, eat, read, watch a bit of TV, go to work, come home, sleep. Its been rubbish really. We did go to a festivally thing in the bay on Monday which was nice but thats it, honest.

Anyway I'm back now! And I had totally forgotten to post my giveaway winner. I choose her ages ago when the giveaway ended I just forgot to post it, silly me!

Without further ado.

The winner is Frances Joy! So if you could email me your address I shall be winging all your prizes out to you soon.

Ok so I still haven't finished my 30 for 30 and I promise I will do it soon, very soon. Like I have said before the outfits have been worn but the photos were not taken, coz I'm useless! lol! So here is another outfit from a while ago. This time the photos are on a rooftop carpark.

Dress: George at ASDA (via Scope charity shop £6!)

Shoes: George at ASDA

Hadn't realised they were both from ASDA till now. Gosh how supermarket clothing has changed. It all used to be boring and crappy or really basic stuff now it is just the same as any highstreet store.

Jacket: Clockhouse (C&A - Very old!)

Necklace: Algonquin national park gallery

Belt: Random (off a skirt)

Brooch: Vintage

Bow Ring: Internacionale

Hairband: Random (Canada)

Jon bought me this lovely dress a few weeks ago, after I had mentioned seeing it in the charity shop window the night before. I nipped in just to see what size it was, amazingly my size! So Jon said he would buy it for me, yay! Isn't it pretty! Very 1950's, yes?

Please check out my Day Zero blog, and Jon's new set of band photographs.

That's all I've got for now sorry ladies. But a Friend Friday post tomorrow!

The Vintage dresses first outing (and it went to a Burger restaurant!)

Tonight we went out with two friends to the new 'Gourmet Burger Kitchen' in Cardiff. It wouldn't usually be my thing as I'm not a big burger eater but 'my god' the burgers were amazing, by far the best I have ever eaten. I had the Camembert and Cranberry Chicken Burger and it tasted so good. The chicken was a full breast covered in a light breadcrumb batter. The Other Half had a Barbecue Aberdeen Angus Burger with an extra fried egg on it and he polished it off rather rapidly. Biz and Chris shared their burgers and had one burger the same as mine and then a spicy mexican one with a funny name which they said was so hot they 'couldn't feel their face' lol!! But they still ate it all. The prices are expensive considering it is only for the burger and you have to order any chips or sides at an extra cost. Luckily we had vouchers for 2 Burgers and 1 Fries for £10 so that was good. We ordered a second chips but unfortunately we never received them, even after we asked where they were. But the lady serving apologized at the end and gave me a refund for them. So I'd give the food a 9 out of 10 and the service a 7 out of 10. Here are some fun pics we took of the burgers but my other half didn't let me take one of him!

Ok so on to the outfit. As you can see from my burger pic and the title of this blog I wore my 1940's vintage dress I bought last week. Sorry for the multitude of photos I just couldn't decided which shot was best so thought 'bugger it' and uploaded a few. I went all out vintage inspired for this outfit. I was thinking 1940's dinner dance date outfit.

I paired the dress with a long suit jacket that was my mothers and a wrap around leather waist belt that came with another dress from Matalan. It helped give me a bit more shape.

I accessorized with a Chanel inspired bag that was a gift from my aunt, which I love!

A vintage westie brooch that was also my mothers on my jackets lapel.

Vintage looking floral print tights and black Mary Jane shoes both from TKMaxx (can't remember the brand of either)

And finally my cute little white lace fingerless gloves from Claire's Accessories

I also had on a thin black bow hair band and a flat white gold necklace.

What do you think, did I get the vintage look (with a little modern hint here and there) right?

Let's see what tomorrow brings (think I might be taking my mum to the vintage shop I found, see old post here)
