I promised you Tartan

So here is the outfit I wore to my meeting today, as you can see I wore my tartan jacket! Sorry I look so tired and pale but this was at the end of my very busy day and I am totally knackered after not getting any sleep last night. Now I'm going to assume you were all sending me your good vibes yesterday because...

I got the job I went for. It's only 1 freelance piece a month and it doesn't pay much but it's another thing to add to my portfolio. The wonderful editor has loads of ideas and pieces she wants me to work on over the next few months, and some of them are really exciting so I'm super happy! So thanks for all the good luck messages they obviously worked.

Now for the outfit lowdown:

Jacket: Dorothy Perkins

Blouse: H&M

Skirt: APT9 swap from Francis Joy

Shoes: Taxi

You can't really see all the ruffles on my blouse or my cute little purple silk rose brooch in this photo. Clearly I am lacking any camera skills tonight, sorry!

Ok well I thought I could give you all a little peek at some of my christmas presents from this year even though we are almost 3 weeks after christmas. So here you go:

The most amazing cream fur cape from my sister. And it's from Primark would you believe!!

A stunning almost full length wool coat with fur collar from my parents. Its from the Debenhams collection and is so amazingly warm.

A cute little lace heart bag from my parents, from Next.

Crafting supplies!! I actually asked for these so was very happy to get them. Expect more DIY's this year!! I can't wait to get my glue gun up and running.

This stunning little horse and carriage brooch which I think came from Etsy (my mother is also hooked)

This amazing 2 sided retro quilt is our present from my aunt in Scotland and it is so huge!! It would cover a super king so goes right to the floor all the way around the bed, and it is really cozy!

The mandatory smellies and stuff. Some Lush, Soap & Glory, TRESemme, etc. I am doing another little mini challenge for the start of the year too, the Use It Up Challenge. I will be aiming to use up all the beauty products I have piled up in my bathroom before I buy any more.

And lastly my little oil bug. Isn't he cute? He was a gift from my best friend Rachel and he wibbles about but never tips over.

So what did you guys get for christmas? Anything really fun or interesting?

See you tomorrow!

My Fav new portrait shots

As I said yesterday my other half took some lovely photos of me in the local church yard and by the local river. He is trying to practice his photographic skills so is using me as a model to practice his portrait work. And luckily for me it means I get to use them on my blog as outfit pictures. Hopefully it means my outfit pics will now be a bit more interesting. So here are a few (a lot, I liked loads!!).

Dress: H&M

Cardigan: Pink Soda via TKMaxx

Shoes: Random, online

Hope you like them

Off to the theatre

Tonight me and my little sis went to the theatre to see '6 Characters in Search of an Author'. It is a totally weird show. Very surreal but also really good. It was written by Luigi Pirandello in the 1920's but has been remastered to fit with modern society. The actors put on a superb show, even if I struggled to understand half of it.

Here is the blurb for anyone who is interested:

'Six strangers appear unannounced during the editing of a docu-drama declaring themselves fictional characters in search of an author. As their compelling narrative unfolds, their story is filmed and reality and fiction become increasingly blurred. This stunning play is a parable for a media obsessed age and an exhilarating exploration of how we define ourselves in the 21st Century'.

And here is my outfit from tonight:
