She don't use jelly

I thought I'd show you my new floral frock from Primarni which I wore it for an anniversary party at the weekend




It's a bit nice init.  I'm a sucker for a floral print!  These pictures were taken when we nipped out to get cash on the night.  As you can see it was fairly cold and windy 

Dress - Primark
Leggings - no idea
Sandals - Dotty P's
Cardi - Discount brands shop
Return to Oz Key necklace - Zara Taylor

Those of you who've commented on my changing hair colour, your eyes do not deceive.  It was black, then it was sandy brown, then it was plum,  now it seems to have faded to a dark cherry colour.  A complex but mundane story involving a very indecisive woman and a lot hair colour removal product! 

I expect it will be an ongoing saga!

As I mentioned in a previous post, I came back from my recent jaunt to France with only a nail varnish and a magazine. 



Albeit a very nice OPI nail varnish in a perfect shade of candy pink (as modelled above)

It did however mean that I had holiday spends left over, woop!   I decided to stay in holiday mode and blow the rest on frivolous pretties which I thought I'd share



A collection of glorious pastel nail paints from Models Own and 'Cherry In The Air' by Escada. 

I've also accumulated some charity shop treasures in the last couple of months



1.  The cutest mini trays, perfect for trinket storage.  2.  Pillowcases and tablecloth from the 25p each box.  3. Vintage children's books.  4.  Vintage books.  5.  A pair of gloriously tacky plastic baskets. 

Not too bad eh?


Glasto is upon us.  Whether you're braving the festival or watching it from the comfort of your living room - enjoy! xxx

    You look amazing in your floral dress and I understand how you feel about your hair! Now that I have bleached them I want them to be darker and viceversa, but I'm glad that you like red, I still haven't made my mind about which color or even hair cut I prefer!
    The charity shop finds are lovely, great scores! I adore the mini trays, all the children's books and the plastic basket!Thank you for the super lovely candy coloured post and the Flaming Lips video!
    Love xxxxxxxx

    You look gorgeous and the new hair's fab. I love that koala tray and all that pretty linen, too.
    I'm ruined after Glasto, I need to watch it all over again on the I-Player now, it looks totally different when you're there, doesn't it? xxx

    Cute as a butto.

    very pretty dress indeed! Love the cardi too, such a beautiful soft colour. I hadn't noticed your hair! Mine changes shade all the time so I think I assume this is natural for everyone else. I hope you don't get as many "ooh what colour is your hair going to be next, cos we never know" type comments as I do, they're very tiresome. Your hair is always a pretty colour anyway! Love the childrens books, all the Louisa M Allcot ones are wonderful - Good Wives is such a sad book! xxxxx

    I think we're both damn lucky we don't live in the same town coz we would be racing each other to snaffle up EXACTLY the same treasures from our local op shops! Heehee!! I love every single thing you snapped up and oh just look at those glorious books!! Hair is meant to be ummed and ahhed over and fiddled about with, it's just one of the joys of life isn't it? Love the floral frock and cardi, ooh it does look a bit chilly! Big warm hugs to you lovely xoxoxoxo
