So another week has passed and I still haven't got my act together blogging wise, so to tide you lovely people over here is another Sunday session rundown of the weeks (pretty mundane) events.

It's my Birthday tomorrow, so last night I went out for dinner and drinks with friends, needless to say I'm feeling a little worse for wear today, but I wanted to say thank you to my lovely friends for making it a great night.

...This week I have..

Loved...taking a couple of days off work and getting a little tipsy for the first time in ages ~
Loathed...the awful hangover I had today following the above 'tipsiness' ~
Purchased...more hair dye and dry shampoo ~
Eaten...the yummiest Italian Style chicken at dinner last night ~
Listened to...Coldplay and Beyonce at Glastonbury (on the telebox) ~
Been reading...a little bit more of The Bell Jar, another thing I need to get my act together on ~
Felt Inspired by...my old magazines, I've had a serious magazine cull but not before cutting out anything I like for my 'inspiration scrapbook' ~
Been wishing for...Asos/Topshop/Urban Outfitters vouchers ~
Finally...I'll be turning 28 tomorrow, not that it's something I'm looking forward too, being another year older and all. It's also my One year blogaversary next week ~

OOTD: Vintage Print Skirt


The perfectionist in me really isn't happy with these pictures, they're stupidly grainy and I don't know why since they were taken in the middle of the day. Meh! I don't think I'll ever get the hang of this photography lark!

~ Outfit Details ~ 

Blue Vest - Primark
Vintage Skirt - Thrifted
Rope Chain Necklace - Dorothy Perkins
Pink Stone Pendant - Miss Selfridge
Gold Chain Cuff - Primark
Tan Skinny Belt - Primark
Gladiator Sandals - Primark

I feel so out of the blogging loop right now, I've been mega busy working on my eBay Shop and trying to catch up with friends. Usually if I don't have time to post I'll at least try to stop by my favourite blogs and say hello, but even that's gone by the way side. The annoying things is I actually have loads that I want to post, and more and more pictures and ideas clogging up my hard drive.


...This week I have..

Loved...spending time with friends eating lots and watching crappy movies ~
Loathed...not having enough time to do all the things I'd like to do ~
Purchased...envelopes for eBay packaging (Oh Yeah!) ~
Eaten...pizza and lots of it, I've kinda got into making my own pizzas (but cheating and buying the bases - for shame!) but I did add the toppings all by myself, being such a fussy eater, it means I can make them to my exact liking ~
Visited...my parents and his parents to see the Fathers yesterday (I'm contemplating removing this topic for a while since I'm too broke to actually go anywhere) ~ 
Listened to...Adele again, I don't think I'll ever get sick of hearing her voice ~
Been reading...The Sunday Times Style magazines ~
Felt Inspired by...my wardrobe, or more specifically the contents of it. It's funny what you can find when you actually stop buying new stuff and start wearing what's already in your wardrobe ~
Been wishing for...my own little tent, and other camping paraphernalia (think pink camping chairs, cute fairy lights and crochet blankets) ~
Finally...ombred my hair, It's very subtle right now, so I'm going to try colouring it again soon, you can almost see it in the pictures above, although I stupidly ignored the instructions and did one side before the other (rather than alternating the highlights from left to right) so one side is much more coloured than the other. Also I know I'm way behind the times here, but I wanted to wait until my fringe had grown out ~
Discovered...a bit of an unhealthy addiction to 'Made in Chelsea' Its absolutely terrible but I just can't help myself ~

I promise I'm going to pay you all much more attention this week, I have lots of posts lined up, including the Summer Giveaway Winner, and I can't wait to catch-up on reading my favourite blogs.

White Crochet Vest - H&M

Floral Headband - Primark
Patent Loafers - Priceless Shoes
Vintage Tapestry Bag - Thrifted


...This week I have..

Loved...I'm going to be honest here and say I haven't loved much this week, things have been pretty rubbish lately.
Loathed...having to return most of the things I bought last week :(
Purchased...my new face; aka a massive make-up overall, and I have a big beauty review coming up soon to prove it.
Eaten...tapas, I cooked a lovely tapas dinner for some friends earlier in the week. I've also only just realised I haven't mentioned my addiction to Rice Krispies Squares, has anyone else tried them?
Visited...work, home, work, home, work, home....
Listened to...some old Libertines and Biffy Clyro.
Been reading...the latest glamour, whilst fauning over my free benefit goodies.
Felt Inspired by...my lack of money. I've had a huge clothing overhall, imposed a strict shopping ban and am in to process of listing on eBay anything that doesn't suit me or I haven't worn in the last few months.
Been wishing for...a big pay rise.
Finally...got my act together eBay wise (well I've made a start), I currently have 28 listings all starting at just 99p so make sure you take a look (10% discount to all followers).
Discovered...that I do not fair well spending a whole weekend alone, by last night I was suffering from some serious cabin fever :(

Thank you for all the well wishes towards my Grandad, he is doing much better now and was released from hospital yesterday :D

Loathed...the fact that my Granddad is very poorly in hospital, any good vibes would be greatly appreciated.
Purchased...where do I start...various items (too many to mention) from H&M, Matalan, Primark and New Look (I was feeling very fed-up on Friday hence the stupid amount of shopping that will probably have to be returned asap).
Eaten...lots of rubbish again this week, but I had a lovely curry with friends on Friday night and I'm about to head over to my Grans for a lovely buffet to celebrate her 81st Birthday.
Visited...my parents and friends.
Listened to...lots of Adele again.
Been reading...Grazia and Glamour magazines.
Felt Inspired by...some of my favourite blogs GreerWayward Daughter and Louder than Silence.
Been wishing for...a extra day a week, there's just never enough time to do the things I want to.
Finally...cleared out my wardrobe, expect my eBay shop to be bursting with goodies very soon.
Discovered...a new craving for McDonalds McFlurry's. 

I would like to thank both Raji and xstroutx for giving me some lovely blog awards, I will endeavour to follow these up with tags and facts about me next week.
