Hey lovelies. : )

I've done so much in this past week - it's literally been non-stop.

Last Wednesday, I went for a bike ride with Pete. It was actually such a beautiful day, we stopped for ice cream & to take the odd photo here & there but otherwise kept going for about 2 & a half hours. Now for someone like me who never does any exercise (except walk the dogs across the fields once a day) I think I did pretty well considering. : ' )

It was one of my best friend's 21st last Thursday, so we went out celebrating on the Saturday. We started off at his house with a bbq, then went into town for drinks. He made us all a jar cake with our names on, I have to say, most delicious cake ever. It was also so lovely to catch up with some friend's that have been hiding away at uni & were back to celebrate this weekend. Makes me smile so much when they came up to me & immediately mentioned they read my blog. Thanks Jo, Mils & Mat. You seriously made my night. : D

Finally, on Sunday, I managed to drag Pete to the stock, prods & junior racing event which was on local to us. My dad used to race old cars but gave up when I was born. However, some of our family friends still race, so we went down to watch them. It was such a good day, despite Pete being so ill, he nearly threw up in my car on the way there..

So yes, busy week. Off to watch Snow White & The Huntsman tonight - has anyone seen it? Fingers crossed it's better than the last one. : )

The Accessory Stand

Hey dolls! : )

So a little while ago, I entered a giveaway over at Katie's blog, (she's an absolute darling, you should all go over & visit her blog, NOW!) to win two gorgeous rings from The Accessory Stand. I'd never heard of them before, but after looking at the two rings they were giving away, I just had to check out the rest of their items. They sell a range of jewellery; rings, necklaces, earrings, etc for such a reasonable price - you can visit their website here.

I was actually lucky enough to win the giveaway! I was so excited as one of the rings I'd decided to purchase if I didn't win anyway, so to get it free was just a bonus!

Aren't they beautiful? The cat ear ring I've wanted for such a long time after seeing it make regular appearances on a lot of blogs over the past couple of months & the green ring is so unique & not too big on my fingers. I have really thin, long fingers, so I do have to buy rings I know won't swamp them, this one is just perfect size for me.

I can't believe how quick they arrived either, I was totally surprised when the postman brought me the package the next day!

If you have any questions about the company or want to get in touch, they reply almost instantly on twitter, you can follow them here. : )

Recent Buys - Gold Edition

It's weird when you unintentionally buy items that have a theme isn't it? Without realising, I can home the other day with a range of gold accessories. Deep down, I've always loved gold, but I'm traditionally a 'silver girl' or on the odd occasion, a 'white gold girl'. Strange. Anyway, here's what I picked up.




Bow clutch - New Look / Peace ring - Dorothy Perkins / Spike earrings - H&M / Double choker - Dorothy Perkins / Spiked hair cuff - H&M



Bow clutch - I knew I had to have this when I saw it. I've been looking for a unique clutch for nights out for ages. This is such a useful bag, as well as a flip opening, it also has a zip to stop things falling out. (Which always seems to happen to me). It was also in the sale, £4 down from £10! Bargain.

Peace ring - The peace symbol is everywhere at the moment & I have to say I'm lovin' it.

Spike earrings - These were only £1.99 can you believe! I love pairing them with the gold choker & a high-buttoned shirt.

Double-ringed choker - Down to £1 from £7.50, I couldn't resist this. Simple chokers seem to be making the rounds on youtube at the moment & while I do like my jewellery to stand out, this was just too elegant to not add to my collection.

Spiked hair cuff - Again, I've seen a couple of these on youtube, but not the spiked ones. If I tie my hair up, it's either in a messy bun or a backcombed high pony. This is perfect to add to the 'messy' bad hair day look.

Trying to put this 'week in photos' together was actually really hard. I've hardly done anything or taken any pictures.

My best friend Boop was back from uni last Saturday so we spent the night down the pub with everyone & have had a week of gossiping & catching up. Apart from that, it's been work work work.

How's your week going?

Why are my hands so weird? Seriously.

This was an outfit post from last week when I went to see Rock Of Ages. It was so amazing, I really wanted to get up, dance & sing the whole way through. Of course, it's full of cheesy moments & classic 'burst-into-song-when-you-express-any-type-of-emotion' but that's what musicals are all about. Russell Brand's character was just amazing, I love him anyway, but my love has increased massively since I watched that film!

I also managed to see half of Prometheous during one of my shifts. (I work at a cinema for those of you who don't know). It totally freaked me out. Not a massive fan of aliens coming out of people I have to say..

Hope you're all enjoying your weekends. : )
