Return..

Ok, so I haven't posted since the 30th October. That is pretty ridiculous. I do apologise.. I've had a lot going on. A huge amount going on actually. That now I've started writing, I really don't want to go into..
I've tried to still read/comment your blogs, I just couldn't face my own. I don't even know why. If you've been following a while you've probably already noticed that I have issues! Do forgive me...

Also forgive me for this hugely random post. This is just a 'I'm in the mood so might as well' kinda post. So will basically consist of anything that pops into my head :)

So.. as I'm sure you can imagine, I've bought a lot since I last posted. In fact, even when I last posted there was a huge amount of things I hadn't shown you..

Right, I believe in my last post I was babbling on about Autumn colours. This links to this:



Which is pretty much my favourite bag at the moment. Purely because of the colour. This isn't a colour I've ever really owned/worn, but for some reason recently I've become a bit obsessed with it! I love it. My collection of items in this colour or very similar now consists of: this bag, shoes, dress, tights, top & scarf (obviously not all to be worn at once!) I'm certainly noticing more of this kinda colour about recently, so I'm assuming it's not just me that's a fan!

You've probably seen these lots about, but these are one of my favourite pairs of shoes at the moment (I did warn you this would be a random post!):





They were £8 from Primark & to be honest, I wasn't entirely convinced when I first picked them up, but thought they were worth a try. So glad I did because I absolutely love them! I've worn them LOADS since I've had them, which says a lot for me, because I rarely wear brown. But they're great & my feet seem to constantly be in either these or my black studded brogues at the moment.

If I could find these (or something very similar) in grey, then my life would actually be complete..

I found this the other day:



I'd bought it AGES ago from that wonderful world of eBay & then I must've just put it to one side & forgotten all about it! I'm a nightmare, honestly. It goes to show that I have/buy FAR too many things! But anyway, I came across it the other day & decided that I love it. It's just the right side of tacky & it's really pretty :) What do you think? Too tacky? Don't worry, I won't be offended!

Some good news for moi! I've just found out I've won this:



on Alex's (Odd Socks & Pretty Frocks) Christmas giveaway :) Well chuffed! I've got a HUGE collection of rings (I don't deny it for a second) but this will be my FIRST double ring. Thanks Alex!

(Btw, hope you don't mind me pilfering the picture from your blog.. if you do, just let me know)

Also, I think it will go rather nicely with my new Urban Outfitters dress, with it's little gold buttons:



I took advantage of the free delivery offer a little while ago, & that's what I treated myself to :) I've just realised though, that I've not even tried it on yet! Hopefully it'll be nice..

Ok, I think I'm nearly done for today. I'm not making any promises about when I'll be posting next, but I really will try & not leave it so long until next time..

I've lost a few followers in my absence, which I totally understand, but I was considering doing a giveaway for all you lovely lot who've stood by my little blog, even when I'd appeared to have deserted it.. I'll put some more thought into it & let you know properly soon - it's still in the 'idea' stage at the moment. I'm thinking maybe to coincide with the New Year might be a nice idea..?

Right I'm off (it's nice to be back though)

Take care

  7. I adore the bag so much, the colour is gorgeous and the style looks to be practical but stylish too. Plus there is the added bonus of double straps.

    I tend to buy things and forget about them, that necklace is my sort of thing. Definitely on the right side of tacky x

  17. I love your eBay necklace! and it's sooo not tacky so fear not :) I can totally relate to you - I'm always buying wayyy too much stuff and losing things in the mess that is my room. But don't you just love the feeling when you find something again? My personal favourite? Finding money in an old bag or purse. RESULT! :) x x

  24. Thanks for the comment on my blog, was so interesting! The book is really good, it's really opened my eyes up to the condition, i don't know how accurate it is medically though, but i'm sure you will seeing as it's something you've experienced first hand.

    I do criminology at uni because i'm so interested in what makes people tick/psychology and behaviour etc, not just in the context of crime, although that's what i'm specialising in obviously, but everyday behaviours too - it's such a fascinating area.

    Hope you enjoy the book :)
