WAGtastic - OOTD

For some reason, this outfit makes me feel a bit.... well, like a WAG. I'm not too sure why. I think because when I sat down the car, I was showing way too much leg, and the belt nips me in at the waist creating an illusion of huge boobs. (I mean, they are generally huge, just with a belt, they look huger) I am also wearing mega killer heels. The only occasion I ever wear heels nowadays is if I know I won't be walking far, and if I will be sat down for the duration of the outing. Today was that outing. Kara and I (and the rest of la familia, obviously!) were invited to my Aunt and Uncles joint birthday party at a hotel in Oxford. It was lovely seeing everyone. This is what I wore:



Dress: Evans, Belt: Evans, Shoes: Nine West @HOF, Necklace: Essential, Reading (I realised after the photos were taken, that I had that really annoying hangy uppy lace/loop hanging out the top of the dress! This was quickly snipped out before I left for the party!)

You can still buy the dress here.

I love the way the dress drapes, and the jersey inserts in the side makes it look more interesting. The dress drape is a really light, silky material, and when I wore it last weekend in Cornwall, someone thought it was silk! It's ideal for weddings and formal occasions and is only £20, which I think is a bargain for a dress that fits and hangs so well.

I hope you are all enjoying the weekend and happy bank holiday!

Life update

I am going back to work tomorrow after a glorious 11 days off! I've spent all my time with Kara. We went to Nottingham for the long weekend, went to Marwell Zoo for her birthday, and Southampton tattoo convention (Titanic ink) on Saturday. I didn't take many photos, as per usual, but here are a few that I managed to take:


First pic: Rob, Kara and Daniel at the zoo! Second pic: MEERKAT! Kara and I love meerkats! They are so cute, I would love a pet one!


This is what I wore: Dress - Tesco (last summer) Belt - Primark, Sunglasses - Primark, Bag - Primark, Espadrilles - Primark.

This photo made us laugh! We liked how the graffiti was 'helpful' and how it pointed which way town was in case the people of Basingstoke got lost!

Just a fun pic of Kara at the tattoo convention giving her opinion on the food. Chips - Good. Pasty - Bad. (Kara's T shirt is by Fred Perry)


A pretty bad photo of me, but I just wanted to show off my new tattoo that is visible on my left arm. It says MCMLXXXV, which is 1985 in roman numerals, the year my sister was born. I got this done a couple of weeks ago by Steph at Poison Ink in Basingstoke.
And this is it close up. (Not long after it was done)




I'm really happy with it, I love the script I chose and where it is. The tattoo convention was really interesting. I love looking at other peoples tattoos and all the different types of artwork on display, and it was also great to meet up with Helen and Goth Jen for a gossip in the sunshine.



Last but not least, when I go away for a while, even a few days, I REALLY miss my dog. Yes, I know this sounds sad, but I really do! I took this photo of her a couple of weeks ago of her:



Can you tell she loves yogurt?!
