Aint No Sunshine When You're Gone...

I have had a fair few complaints from my friends and readers that I haven’t officially started my blog yet and to sort it out! So firstly I must apologise to you all. Unfortunately life got in the way. I’ve just recovered from laser eye surgery I had a few weeks ago, so I’ve been hibernating. But I am back! Today is the first day at work I have been able to wear make-up. Although I did get used to not wearing it for a while, I just didn’t feel quite myself. Today is the first time in weeks that I can say I feel 100 percent Sunny again.

A lot has happened since I started this blog. All good! So I’ve managed to book my Las Vegas holiday away, celebrating my best friends 30^thin style towards the end of next month and I’ve also received a cheque from Inland Revenue for 2K. So I’m single, going to Vegas with pure ‘Paper!’ The world is my oyster it seems.

I’ve been shopping for Vegas this weekend. I went to Drake’s concert at the LG on Friday night and then ravin in Birmingham! The following day I shopped in the Bullring for Vegas and brought 2 cool very Essex style hats from Forever 21, and one from Monsoon. I also brought a very blinging Aqua coloured bikini from River Island. See picture below.

 Today’s outfit is very nautical, I’m so into nautical stripes of late and they’re real big this spring and summer.The shirt is a real bargain at £10 from Primark; I just love it, because it really looks like it costs a lot more. The navy trousers are also a good purchase from Primark and again so many people have commented that it really doesn't look like a Primark purchase.

I picked up the matching nautical flat shoes this weekend from River Island for Vegas, anyone that knows me, knows I never wear flats. I thought I would invest in some as I plan on doing a whole lot of walking in Vegas and I’m not sure my feet can take heels all day and all night.

The jacket is from Celebrity Boutique and I’ve waited absolutely ages for it to come back into stock. I just adore the feminine tailoring, the slight shoulder pads accentuates the female form as it come in at the waist, very 40’s. The metallic spikes on the shoulders, bring it back to today’s trend.

I added a matching big chunky statement necklace from Accessorize and pear earrings from Primark for £2, that’s some serious bargain, because these earrings have lasted me months and months and still no discolouring or allergic reaction.

You will find that a lot of my outfits are in fact Primark; I think it’s about how you put the outfit together not where you purchase from. You can make a high street brand look designer, just by accessorising and putting it together with the right garments.

To finish today’s look this white and beige tassel clutch handbag is also a River Island purchase. I am really loving River Island lately, I just want to purchase everything. Especially the handbags they look designer, without the price tag.

I better get to work, so have yourselves a fab Monday Fashionistas! Catch you tomorrow. x
