Bleached denim Vans, New Look wedges and the standard summer white plimsoles from Topshop.
Moustache ring from Accessorise.
Attire from Pulp for my night of 2.8 Hours Later (which I will explain properly in the next post, it’s a scary one)
I planned to wear this dress for the zombie disco afterwards, but I was too hungover to contemplate a saturday night out after spending all day hungover at the Scottish Tattoo Convention (Here’s looking at YOU Kirsty, Ruth and Maired!) Had a brilliant friday night with these fellow blogging girlies though. Home to bed on saturday afterwards with my fella and some dominoes pizza was a pretty good hangover cure. Not to mention getting an impromptu tattoo at the convention and running away from zombies all of saturday night.
Tee’s all from Primark, and dungarees from New Look. Anyone got any tips on how to keep the very thin scalloped edges of these tshirts at bay when you are wearing them? For me, they just end up flicking up everywhere 🙁
Some new skinny jeans and a vest top, again from New Look. I got a bit carried away, but they have some great stuff in at the moment.
Hallo new purse! This wee pretty from accessorise will need to do until I get my desperate paws on the viv westwood galaxy wallet 🙁 A new purse always feels like a new start for me, hope someone out there knows what I mean?
The comfiest and cutest jammies I ever did see. David and Goliath stuff always makes me chuckle. When I saw these bottoms with sushi and toast on them I couldn’t say no. Go on, tell me they don’t make you smile! 🙂
I have a couple of weeks off at the moment before I start my next contract, and apart from the weather taking a turn for the worst today I have been making the most of the sunshine over the past week or so. Enjoying a couple of trips to the seaside (firstly a la Dominique above and driving with the top down) I tried a rather interesting irn bru sorbet from nardinis which was nice! Have any of you seen the latest irn bru adverts on telly that I worked on with my boyfriend?
I met my old designer from Counting With Rodd for lunch and a catch up. It was good to talk all things girly and career wise. I love hearing peoples stories and experiences who have been in the film and tv industry for years and years. I really appreciate having mentor figures who I can look up to and turn to for advice. Really, I just love a bloody good blether. She bought me these lovely tulips, and yes, my windows need cleaned, oops!
I’m actually still looking after a plant I took from the set of Counting With Rodd when we finished up in january. I couldn’t even tell you what this is… (can anyone tell me?) but it’s not dead – yet – and sits in a giant teacup in my room. Dobbies actually had even BIGGER versions of these teacups for your plants! It really makes me want my own garden. I’m sure Oscar, Alfie and Dougal would be more than happy to keep the grass trimmed for me 🙂 One day!
My old boss Ali also got me a beautiful card (at the front) thanking me for the work I’d done for her. The card on the right came as a cute surprise in the post along with a little love hearts keyring from Lauren 🙂 What a wee gem. I’d love to go back to Brighton and visit, especially now that the weather is a bit more appropriate! It was still an awesome place, even in november. The card on the right is from my buddy Jess in america. We recently exchanged parcels and tried to keep it more beauty related this time, as in the past it’s pretty much just been a sugar explosion. This gal packs a good parcel I’m telling ya! Thank you so both so much for these random acts of kindness ♥ See, us girls can be sensible when we want to be! Although she did pop a Peep in there as I told you in the last post, which I INHALED (being the best word)
I really enjoyed reading your feedback about exercise and eating habits – it was so interesting to hear everyones different stories and opinions, and it made me feel a lot better about my attitude towards food in general. Another question for discussion, but if you are on the contraceptive pill, or have been in the past, did you feel like that had an effect on your weight? Having recently came off the pill after being on it since I was 15 I’ll be interested to see if my weight goes one way or another, or doesn’t do anything at all. Girly chats, c’mon! On that note, I’m about to go for dinner with my boyfriend and his family so I better dash 🙂
Love Ayden x

WANT THOSE PJs!! re. the pill, i just came off after 4 years, and lost around 7 pounds (I'm 5'8"), i think it's mainly down to the hormones going back to normal so you're not as hungry all the time! Are you on anything new now? Just asking cos I've tried everything and nothing seems to agree with me 🙁 x amy

I have that ring! I love it so much 🙂 oh I love the new buys, it's always great to have a good clear out, I'm drooling over the new tops and these dung's are so cool will have to check out New Look soon. Those PJ's are too cute, I need them, I keep stealing Barry's haha. Oh I need to go back on the pill now I have had but, I have to have the mini pill as I get such bad headaches, not fun. I was just talking about cutting out the junk food just the other day, I don't do diets but want to get healthy 🙂 Hope your well kitten xxx

Loving everything you've bought, especially your choice of shoes!
So uber jealous you got to go to 2.8 hours!! I applied to work for the London one last year as I didn't have the cash for the ticket but I never heard back, they were probably swamped with applicants! Super looking forward to your blog post on it though!
I was on the mini pill because of headaches and it was one that stopped my periods entirely. At first I thought it made me put on weight but when I came off it a couple of years ago I realised it had nothing to do with the pill..as I have continued to pile it on. Oops!

All the Primark tees look amazing! Will have to check them out. I'm really damned that I didn't take part in 2.8 Hours Later when it was run down here, knew it'd be a class night out.
When I was on the pill, it definitely affected not only my weight but my want to just gorge on food all the time. Every girl & every pill is different though. I've been off the pill for nearly 5 years & I haven't missed it one bit. It's not for everyone but I have an IUD & it's never done me wrong. No hormone craziness!

So much shopping and fun! Looks like you've had a good week. I think the sun just makes everything better; everyone seems happier and going to the seaside looks like the perfect day out!
April 3, 2012 at 11:44 pmMight have to skip your next post though – zombies actually terrify me soooo much! x
Bethany
I really want those sushi pants!!! 😀
ps. The pill didn't affect me at all.
April 3, 2012 at 11:49 pmCourtney Giles
Sounds like you had a lovely weekend!
April 3, 2012 at 11:59 pmI really want to go shopping now!
I recently came off the pill and lost quite abit of weight in a few weeks without changing my eating habits or exercise habits! So it definitely affects my weight, but I'm guessing its very different for everyone!
Enjoy your weeks off!

Love the things you bought, definitely agree that a new purse feels like a new start!
April 4, 2012 at 12:01 amAlso, re: the pill, I don't find that my weight's been affected at all xx

Those PJs are immense!

The pill slightly affected my weight, and I did drop a bit after coming off it, my skin is the worst though, I find I get more breakouts since coming off the pill. Boo.
April 4, 2012 at 8:30 amI love your new tatt you got, it's perfect. And can't wait to hear more about this zombie night, sounds amazing.
xx
p.s I need those dungarees!! They are lush!
Frances @ kisskissdahling.blogspot.co.uk
Love the shoes, especially the wedges 🙂 And those dungarees – I was eyeing up some similar ones in Republic the other day. I don't know whether I've put on weight because of the pill, because I started on it around the same time I started Uni, so although I did put on a little bit of weight I'm not sure if that was due to the pill or my new lifestyle. Great haul 🙂 would love to hear more about your new ink.

Woah − your shopping haul looks amazing!!! How freakin' cute are those PJs! And ummm…… Irn Bru icecream… Oh My Gawd! Gimmie!! I wish we had easier access to the Bru in Australia 🙁 I fell in love with the stuff as a wee one, but so hard to find over here.
April 4, 2012 at 10:24 amI def lost a whole stack of weight after coming after the pill, it will interesting to see if it does the same for you.
Cheers from Oz,

LOve the vans and the moustache ring. I would die to have those pyjamas, and not feel guilty about the price 🙂 xx

I saw the massive tea-cup planters in Dobbies today, SO awesome, I really want a dotty one! As for the pill, I've been on it for a few years but my nothing changed, especially not my weight, so I doubt it would make any difference for me. I guess everyone is just different, I think it depends on the various levels of each hormone in your body as to how it will react!

Those jim jams are amazing! But what top do you wear with them?! Different pills did different things to my body; microgynon coming off it made me put on weight whereas other pills i've actually lost weight. So I guess it all depends. I love the the Dungarees! What are you going to wear them with? xxx
April 4, 2012 at 4:41 pmLaura
David and Goliath used to be my number one, haven't been there in years! Those pyjamas are tempting me back though.
April 4, 2012 at 9:29 pmRegarding the pill, I've been on it since I was 15 (nearly 5 years) and I don't think it's affected my appetite much. I'm on a low oestrogen pill which I think helps not put on the weight. I guess you'll have to see! However, I always remember that skinny definitely doesn't feel better than MOST things taste! xx
Carol
Err, those Vans are AMAZING! May I ask where you got them? Good haul! I have huge issues with the pill and have tried many and recently come off altogether, what will be will be. BUT since coming off pill I have had no headaches. A big deal for me:)

Love the mustache ring! So cute. I wish I had a mentor to guide me through my career path – you're so lucky.
I was on the pill when I was 16 and I felt like it made me balloon, but maybe that's because I went from being a seriously skinny girl, to having more of a womanly figure. The one I had (dianette) definitely helped with my acne though – no doubt. When I stopped taking it I think I did lose a bit of weight but nothing major, and it took a year for my periods to return, which was a bit weird, but the doctors reassured me that that was fine. It was also kind of nice not having a visit from mother nature every month! x

Exactly the same on the add/subtract tights and a cardigan formula! Can't wait to hear about 2.8 Hours Later… was so tempted to get tickets but thought it would freak me out too much!!
April 5, 2012 at 2:51 pmImogen
Love all your new goodies, especially the Vans and David & Goliath pyjamas. So cute!
April 5, 2012 at 8:56 pmI've got a similar scalloped Primark top, I find attacking the edges with hair straighteners keep them in place for a good part of the day 🙂
Lea
I always look forward to your posts, they're interesting and fun to read. I love the pi's and your casual style. I also completely get the whole wallet thing 🙂
In regards to the pill, I dropped about half a stone when I came off it, the one I was on was microgynon. It was supposed to help my skin but all it did was give me bingo wings lol.
Thanks for another lovely post <3

Love the PJ bottoms, D&G always have such amazing prints! I was on implant/injection/pill for over 10 years and went 'cold turkey' a year and a half ago, and I lost weight last year which i've not put on, but it was majorly to do with diet and exercise too so I cant be certain! I do know that I have stopped exercising and have not put the weight on again, so who knows!
COME BACK AND SEE ME! XX

I've been kinda liking New look stuff lately too, trying to behave myself tho! The white plimsolls are making me want to draw all over them… 🙂
