Tad off topic...

I wanna start to apologizing for being pretty absent last week...

Recently, I was made redundant as the company I was working for decided to relocate to Bulgaria... good news is that I have already found another job (actually, I got offered 3 jobs in the last month... woop woop... go me! :))... anyway, I had few weeks off before starting the training and we decided to redecorate the bedroom.

Initially - when we first moved in, years ago - I wanted to do it red (hence the red lamps) but then we went for purple as it's supposed to be an ideal colour for bedrooms (think lavander oils, for example, should help unwind and relax).

I'm in love with my wallpaper!!! :)

 The lampshade, also, ties in well with the pink carpet - no, we didn't pick it, it was here already and hopefully, we'll get rid of it sooner than later as I hate carpets!

paint & wallpaper: B&Q

duvet: Ikea

lampshade: Next

So... with some luck, I'll resume normal blogging in the next few days... as I mentioned I'm gonna start a new job so I'll be fairly busy and tired... but I'll do my best! :)

(I'm still reading your blogs but on the iPad is a bit of a pain to comment, sorry)

Clothes Haul

I haven't bought any clothes in a while, actually - here are a few things I picked up recently.

River Island Light Beige Bird Print Chelsea Girl Top

First, I saw the dress on the website... I just loved the print but the model was pretty boring.

Gladly, I found the blouse in store and when I tried it, I also liked the cut.

The material is kinda of silky and very soft; I hope they're going to make more of these with different prints 'cause it's so flattering. 

Affordable too - it's £15.

(Tights are from Primark - nothing special to add there!)

Last week, Debenhams was running a 25% off on clothes and, on saturday, I received an email with a promo code for extra 10% - so, I decided to order few pieces on the website. 

I also used quidco for cashback so I think I got a pretty good deal and saved close to 20 pounds. :)

J by Jasper Conran - Brown Pleat Front A-line Skirt

This skirt has a beautiful line that suits everybody - I love the colour and I think it will look great with the River Island shirt above.

J by Jasper Conran - Dark Red Ethnic Print Dress

Fitting room picture is a must!! ;)

I fell in love with this dress as soon as I spotted it in store few weeks back. I'm - mostly - inpressed with the print but It feels great on the skin, too. It has long sleeves but it's very fresh so I will, definitely, bring this with me in Italy - perfect for an evening stroll.

Davina McCall for Next - the Fit Shoes

I remember seeing this online, when the collection was announced back in December... but then I totally forgot about them!

I like the Cath Kidston-esque print meet Converse style.

They have pink soles and no laces... I think they're pretty cute. :)
