Christening Outfit of the Day: Zara, Topshop, Zara!

Today, I went to my nephew's Christening

This is what I started out wearing.  The dress is from Zara and I got it in their sale for just £12.99.  I couldn't believe how cheap it was (I did a haul recently and it features on that, which you can check out here).  It has a zip across the middle so you can unzip it to make it look a bit more like a two piece.  

It was quite really warm today, overcast but still hot!  So I deliberately took another outfit for if I did get too hot, which I did!  My god, I was so hot in the service.  The Christening was part of the Sunday morning church service so we were there for about 90 minutes.  Afterwards, we headed to a local pub for the party and I switched into this.

Zara Shorts - £9.99 (sale)

Topshop Top - £38.00

New Look Shoes - Now £12.00!

I got quite a few compliments on this second outfit.  I love it.  And it is something you could wear casual as well if you just changed the shoes xx

My Son's 2nd Birthday: Outfit of the Night

I wasn't planning to blog this but I thought I'd show a few pics of yesterday, including the dress I wore for my little boy's 2nd birthday yesterday.  Unfortunately, they're not the greatest outfit pics as, like I said, I wasn't planning on blogging this.  But I think the dress is really cute so thought I'd show you.

eBay Dress

I didn't bother wearing shoes as I was just in my garden.  I think I'm a bit of a hippie as I could quite happily never wear shoes again!  I'm more than comfortable walking around barefoot most of the time.

But I really do love this dress.  But it does make me feel a bit like a ghost in it.  I don't know, it's the sort of thing I imagine in a film where you see a ghost all dressed in white.  My mum told me I look like I belong on Little House on the Prairie!  

We all had a fabulous day yesterday, my son was spoilt rotten and we had a little BBQ for him in the evening.  I'm sure this dress will be reappearing on my blog soon so there will be better pics but it was a real bargain! x

Saturday Outfit of the Day/Night: Zara BARGAINS!!! #zarasale AND New YouTube Video: Summer Sale Fashion Haul

My niece had a little party for her 12th birthday.  It was only family but this is what I wore (plus a few pics of me and my boys!).

Zara Crop Top - £3.99 (sale)

Zara Stripey Shorts - £9.99 (sale)

Next Sandals - £30.00

So I got the top and shorts from the Zara sale.  So pleased with both of them and absolute bargains!!!  I also had a cardigan which I was taking on and off throughout the evening (but didn't make it to any pictures) but it was also in the Zara sale for about £15.  It's such great quality.  I'm sure it'll be something I live in so will probably be shown on here numerous times.  I can't find any of the links for the Zara things (including the cardigan!) but I did only get them on Thursday so they should still be around.

I also filmed a haul video earlier in the week which I've uploaded today and you can check out here.  A lot of it is sale things that I've picked up, but there's also some non-sale stuff. 

Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

Wednesday's Outfit of the Day: Boyfriend Jeans

I went shopping yesterday and Primark had some amazing stuff.  I always find it hit or miss in there.  You either come out with loads, or come out with nothing.  If you don't want to spend any money, I find it's best to get yourself a basket on the way in.  Without fail, every time I do this, I never buy anything so end up walking round with a big empty clunky basket!

Primark Boyfriend Jeans - £13.00 

Zara Crop Vest (again, can't find the link but other colours here) - £5.99

eBay Kimono - £3.96(!!)

Primark Flower Belt - £5.00(!!!!!)

Next Sandals - £30.00

Primark Bangles and Necklace

So anyway, yesterday I bought these boyfriend jeans.  They are quite oversized so I went down a size and bought a 6.  My usual size generally ranges from an 8 to 10, depending on the shop (and how much I've been eating!!).  I really love these.  I used to have a pair from River Island back in about 2003 when I think they were in last time round but god only knows what I've done with those.  They were only £13 though so quite cheap, although possibly not that cheap for Primark.

I also got this amazing belt for just £5!!  I couldn't believe how cheap that was and was convinced it was a mistake so snapped it up before they changed their minds!  The kimono is also another big hit with me.  I got it from eBay (from a Chinese seller, it's brand new) and I have a feeling it may have originally been from Zara and just re-labelled.  Well either way, I'm not bothered because I love it.  You can dress it up, dress it down.  It's just a beautiful and very versatile piece.  

So anyway, happy hump day.  Only 2 more days until the weekend and just a week to go until my son turns two!!! x

New YouTube Video: Outfits of the weekend #OOTW

I was planning to do a haul video but I like to include clip of me wearing the items so it generally takes a long time to film and edit.  As I mentioned in my previous post, I've had a bit of a busy week with my son having an operation and now just trying to get him back to normal so I just did a quick outfits of the weekend post.  You can check out the video here.

It's only very short so if you have a couple of minutes, I'd love it if you checked it out!

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend.  I've just been doing family things, nothing particularly exciting x

Outfit of the Day: Back to basics

Today is such a beautiful day.  It's so hot and not a cloud in the sky!  I need to be at the beach!

Zara Vest

Next Sandals

Primark Shorts, Belt & Necklace

This is pretty much the same outfit as I wore to the pub on Friday night, except that I' have shorts on rather than my floral trousers.  

These are the kind of things I live in in this weather.  It's so easy just to throw on yet still looks effortlessly stylish!

Hope you are all having a good week.  I've had a pretty crappy one.  My soon-to-be 2 year old had to have an operation yesterday (nothing serious) so we were at the hospital for 10 friggin hours!  Then they didn't even give us the medication that he needed so I had to go back and collect that today!  Not a good week but at least the sun is shining (which was pretty irrelevant yesterday as I was at the hospital all day!) x
