Make it happen...

Sorry for the lack of posts this week, after being away at the weekend Ive been struck down with some kinda evil mega cold. I feel pretty much awful and just wanna sleep and drink cups of tea and of course feel sorry for myself! Anyways the weather here is still pretty ropey, I heard word there is more hail on the way. Ive been trying to dress somewhat summery but with a few added layers so I dont freeze to death...Suddenly understanding why I got this horrible cold!

Im excited to tell you guys that I was asked by Pinterest to help promote their official launch in the UK, for any of you who havent heard of Pinterest or havent got an account yet- get one now! It is beyond a doubt my favourite way to collect inspiring images, recipes, interior design ideas, diy tips.
Id say I check my Pinterest account at least twice a day, more than I check Facebook! You can even have secret folders so if you have an upcoming project you are working on ideas for but dont want to share it yet you can set it as private. I have a board like this filled of wedding ideas and supplier links, which Ill make public after the big day. Im totally addicted.
So sign up for an account today by clicking here. And be sure to check out my boards here! :) xx

Sun rays and Arctic air?

So apparently in some parts of England this week they had snow... snow in May?! We had one hot sunny day at the start of the week followed by hail for two days and now its sunny again but the air has an unearthly chill to it... My pretty sun dresses and floaty skirts stay hanging in my wardrobe as I pull out my knitwear and tights yet again.Sigh...

Im off this weekend to a Supernatural (american tv show) convention in England. Yes I am a big geek and yes I cant wait! :)

Peach and Polka dots...

Trying to inject some pops of colour into my wardrobe to make up for the dark and cloudy stormy weather outside. Dave got me this little polka pleated dress from Primark of all places, its such a lovely fabric and the pleats give the skirt such a flattering shape.. I can see me getting a lot of wear out of it over the summer months.

Some little things...

Thank you for all the sweet comments on my last diy makes post, its something I really enjoy doing and it makes it so worth while knowing that you guys like them too :)
A few weekends ago Dave & I and a couple of our dogs went off to the north coast for a long weekend and I thought Id share a few things I packed to take with me.

 
I couldnt do with my bourgeois shimmery blushes which I wear everyday. A little gold bow necklace was simple enough to go with anything I packed. Bangles: River Island & Love Nell.

 
A little neon coral bag from H&M, my new fav marimekko-esque Zara sweatshirt, some light reading with an issue of Lionheart Magazine, a little lists notebook which was a gift from my sister.

 
DKNY Delicious perfume, my engagement ring, gold bow ring from Madwell, balloon brooch gift from my sister. I love a statement brooch to add to a plain tee or chunky jumper.

 
Without realising it my wardrobe for the weekend was in the yellow/acid lime colour palette.
Knit Scarf: H&M, Tee: Mado, Floral Scarf: Forever 21, Lollipop tin: M&S, Headphones: Urban Ears, Drawstring Trousers: H&M, Yellow tip pumps: River Island.

I havent managed to take any outfit photos this weekend having nothing but rain and insane hail?! Isnt it supposed to be May! Fingers crossed the weather improves soon... Im day dreaming of wearing summer florals, bare legs with ankle socks, open toe wedges... Im pretty sick of my warm wintery clothes.
