Teddy Bear Buns...

Ive been saying for a while that Ive wanted to try new things with my hair but find it hard having such thick hair ( my hairdresser tells me everytime I go that I have twice as much hair as most people) lol...

Not the most complex of styles but at the weekend I tried two back combed buns high on my head. Giving the look of teddy bear ears. It lasted all day and was really quiet comfortable. Def a style ill try again.

Dave & I are off on a mini holiday today, traveling 200miles or so to the west of Ireland to Mayo probably the most rural part of Ireland. Alot of Dave's family came from this area and its a favourite of his. He took me last year & it was the most picturesque place Ive ever been. (You can see my posts on the visit here, here and here.) Ill be there until Monday then we are traveling across to Dublin for two days. Then Im back on Tuesday night and off Friday morning to Edinburgh for my cousins hen weekend. Its gonna be a fun but busy week! I haven't planned any scheduled posts but am hoping to get wifi somewhere on the go so I can post while Im away..

Fingers crossed anyway!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend! xx

Pretty please, with a bow on top?

This outfit is a little different for me, I love this little peplum skirt and have worn it out at night a few times but styling it for the day was..tricky. To me it feels very glam if that's the right word but I think teamed with a simple vest and flip flops it works well.

 

Vest: New Look, Skirt: Asos, Flip Flops c/o Ted Baker, Necklace: Tatty Devine, Studded bracelet: H&M, Watch: Casio, Heart Ring: Asos, Triangle ring: DP.

These pink jelly flip flops by Ted Baker are my newest summer necessity, not only are the perfect shade of pink and coral that matches everything in my wardrobe at present. But they are uber comfy and really pretty to look at for flip flips. Also the nifty people at Ted Baker scented them with watermelon so they also make my feet smell lovely! How handy!

Be sure to check out their summer shoes in this fun little video!

Weekend Scenes #09

I feel like all I do is talk about the weather at the minute, but seriously could it be any nicer?

To sum up my weekend:

Picnic in the sun with Dave, reading in the sun, lying in the sun, eating every meal outside soaking up all the sunshine I can get! Watching Eurovision, picking up hen party essentials for my cousin Heidi's hen party in two weeks. Dining out with Dave, drinks out with friends. Pretty much a great weekend. :)

 

#01 New purchases this week, finally bought myself a white iPad after drooling over them for awhile. If anyone knows any amazing app's that I have to have please let me know! Pink & Grey marl loose v tee's: River Island. Spiked Coral necklace & Azure ring: H&M

Do it yo-self...

I like to think of myself as a bit of a comedy jester, cracking jokes and making people laugh. Although I get told on numerous occasions that I find my own jokes funnier than other people, and that I laugh at them more & louder than anyone.. ah well least I make myself chuckle ey?

Anyways, gosh ramble much Vicki?! I have been wanting to introduce DIY's to my blog for aaaages but never had the time to carry out the said diys to blog about them. Well I finally completed one, a simple one but nonetheless. So here it is! hopefully the first of many...

 

Revamping the slightly tatty old brogues that you cant bare to throw out cos they are just too comfortable.

 

Remove laces, place on newspaper, stuff inside with paper & spray paint (pref outside) desired colour. I went for silver. Spray 30cm away beware of wind if doing this outside!

 

Replace old worn laces with new laces or ribbon. Measure out same length as original laces.

 

Voila! Brogues re-born. You could also paint the toe a different colour to the rest of the shoe,

or have different coloured laces for each brogue? Endless options. :) xo
