Home Babah!

Well, what a busy weekend. I've been a bit quiet on the blogging-front because I've been concentrating on the housing-front instead. Thankfully we've put an offer in on a house and it's been accepted so exciting times are afoot! Blimey, I'm going to be a home-owner, scary stuff!

Pretty in Pink

Yikes it's Sunday! How did that happen? My weekend has been a whirlwind of house hunting and viewings, my brain has essentially been turned to goo by estate agents lies and unnecessary pressure to view properties which need too much work for too much money - why don't they ever listen!?

*ahem* rant over, and a break from Rightmove is needed.

This is just a speedy post full of precious things that I have dubbed - Pretty in Pink. 

Ahhh totes, how much I love thee! I always refer to my handbag as the 'bag of tricks' so I think I'll be purchasing that gorgeous tote!

Candy-floss Mind

Right. I've been told by one of my friends that while my blog is good and fun, there isn't nearly enough mindless chatter from me. I pointed out that this is a fashion blog, not a blog about my candy-floss mind, but apparently that isn't good enough. So to shut up my critic, here are some of the brain-farts that I've had today:

1. Eating too many salt and vinegar Snack a Jack's has made my lips feel weird and tingly

2. The new series of Teen Wolf will undoubtedly make me very sad and also make me pine to own the original Teen Wolf on DVD, ah Michael J. Fox, you were so young and 80's-a-fied

3. Wonders why wherever I stand on an empty train platform people always gather around me like I have explicit train knowledge and know exactly where the doors are going to open - I like to think it's because I look wise and worldly?!

4. Can't help but think in my head 'She's got huge tracts of land' every time I see a well-endowed woman

5. Wonders how long it will be before all of the cats on my street rise up and take over the world, they all have shifty eyes

6. Thought how amazing it would be if there was an entire day dedicated to The Princess Bride - but that would probably be inconceivable

7. Wishes that my office had a micro pig as some sort of team mascot... I would call him Bacon

8. Wonders if my list of things I'm looking for in a new house should be increased beyond - 'Must have a really kick-ass bathtub' and 'Living room needs enough room for Kinect and surround sound'

9. I am suspicious of this 'limited edition' blue Skittle... it's odd... is it supposed to taste of Facebook... I don't get the connection

10. Can a person eat too many carrots..? If so, how many is too many!?

If that's not good enough, have a picture list of THINGS that I like and like to do...

Happy now you bloody bum-head!?

Feminine Brights

Eeep, I am knackered. I've started back at the gym today after months of slacking and it was pretty hard going getting back into it... but what has brought on this sudden health kick, I hear your cry... the sunshine my friends - I'm getting fit so I can flash a bit of flesh on my holidays. Hazah! :D

As the weather has been so bloomin' nice recently that I've been checking out my summer wardrobe and debating what to wear over the coming months. I've got a fair amount of stuff to pick from, but there are one or two items which I would like to add to my collection... mainly an over the knee pleated skirt and a mesh vest top. There is something very flattering about the new longer-length skirts, they're very lady-like and also so versatile as you can easily dress it up or down.

I've taken a bit of a shine to the bright and bold trend which is still in full effect, but I also love flatteringly feminine looks... so, I've combined to two - mwahaha.

Have a look at this:

Ooooh it's all so lovely!

Pepe Jeans - Warhol Collection

Ooooh mid-week, it's a tough one, but we're halfway through!

I've been snooping around websites again and have to say that I'm really enjoying Pepe Jeans Warhol Collection. I've always liked Andy Warhol's paintings, (something about pop art bananas makes me grin) so I figured I'd put a few pictures on here from the campaign and from Pepe's SS11 campaign for you all to enjoy:

I really like the new SS/11 campaign on Pepe's website, the black and white pictures are very classic and make me excited for the summery sunshine we have ahead of us! They have a gorgeous collection of summery dresses and as always fabulously-flattering-fit jeans.

This is something I have cobbled together to show of the best of the Warhol Collection. I particularly love the iconic Campbell's Tomato Soup picture transformed into a cheeky summer dress - such a great idea and totally fits in with the bright and bold trend, I mean, what's more bright and bold than POP ART!?

What do you all think? If you're interested check out the Pepe website for more lovely bits - http://www.pepejeans.com/uk/warhol-lookbook.html
