Celeb Double!

I saw this picture in Look magazine recently of Pixie Lott in her Lipsy Short Suit and immediately my own monochrome jacket popped into my mind. How alike are they?! The lipsy jacket that Pixie sports costs £55, whereas mine came from eBay for around £1.99 [what a saving!] about a year ago.

Just got to go out and find some shorts to match now to make my suit... Even though I still haven't made proper friends with my cankles. 

Sorry about the image, I know it's not great.. strange fake faceage going on.

Everybody's looking for something

New Look pale pink blazer
Thrifted cream lace top- actually my moms, but I'm allowed to kind of steal it if it's in a pile of never worn, never will wear clothes, yeah? I think so.
Miss Selfridge pale green shorts- bought on Saturday for £7 (reduced from £32) in the sale - oh, I love a bargain!
Nude wedges from a market in Spain for about €10 and they're unbelievably comfortable
New look bangles
Thrifted necklace

Post Title - Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics.  Really reminds me of American Pie: The Wedding. How much do you just want to learn the whole routine of the dance-off between Stifler and Bear?! Oh my god, so much! A great megamix + those a-ma-zing camp dance moves = perfect entertainment!

The song also has a pretty great/creepy video which involves orchestra instruments, farmyard animals and facemasks and also seems like they've just worked out how to edit videos, but not for the better.

 

So, I am officially a member of "The Cankle Family". I have always known that my legs are certainly not my best feature, being the place any unhealthy substances I intake make a beeline for, but for a while, I've been in much denial. Seeing my legs in shop windows and such like has made me think "they're not that bad!" but these photos confirm it. I do have the dreaded 'cankle'. And whilst it's quite a nice feeling to think that I have something in commom with Cheryl Cole and Mischa Barton, I wish it could've been something different! Y'know, the luscious locks of Cheryl would have been a much more satisfying feeling.

To be honest, I do know and I don't know why I have them. It does run in my family, unfortunately for my future children (if I have any), with both my parents sporting the look (my dad worse than my mom, strangely) but at the same time non of us fit the typical Englishman stereotype of sitting watching tele whilst eating chip shop takeaway and drinking beer every night. We all live a healthy lifestyle, go skiing pretty often, which I must say REALLY works those buggers, and still are cursed with the unshiftable ankle-fat!

So, after many google searches on how to target them, I think I may have to just get over it. I mean, doing 20 million squats and calf raises each day is no way to live, right?! They will never stop me bearing my legs, as conscious as I may get and no matter what I do, I think they're with me for life. Time to make some new friends, I think :/


P.S. I know I'm not looking the best in the last picture, but I felt it needed to go in as it shows the outfit from a nice angle :)

The sunlight hurts my eyes..

Thrifted jumper, shirt and scarf (worn as bow around neck)
Topshop chinos
Primark shoes

Post title lyrics - The Sunlight Hurts My Eyes by Modestep - great new dubstep song!

I wore this to go shopping with my mom today and to go and teach keyboard to my cousins 2 girls, so I needed to be more comfortable than anything. I really like the colours together and the scarf worn as a bow around my neck just adds a little something different to the outfit.

There are some major sales on in New Look and Topshop atm! Only bought a sleeveless cardigan from Topshop, reduced to £10 from £40 - Bargain! You can see a picture here. It will be perfect for when these hot days start to get colder for autumn.

Think the job prospects might be looking up - I'm waiting for a call from a local bar where I have managed to bag an interview (due to knowing people who work there!) I'm just hoping all goes well!

Aimée

All Natural

Primark shirt
Dolce & Gabbana thrifted belt
Zoo jeans
Marc B bag
Peacocks shoes

So, I wore this to meet my friend yesterday for afternoon coffee. I think the neutral colours and textures really complement one another.

It's amazing what you can find tucked away in your own little village- I didn't even know we had a coffee shop! They have all the flavours under the sun of coffee, cappuccino, hot chocolate...etc. I am glad I'm not at university at the moment though with the chaos around Birmingham city centre- it's really sad and my thoughts are with anyone affected across the country.

I'm still looking for a job since the beginning of July but it doesn't seem to be working out for me! I'm teaching my cousins kids twice a week, helping them with maths and english and teaching them to play keyboard. It's really good money but very tiring. Any help as to the best way of teaching timestables in a fun way?!

Some retail therapy is needed I think!
