New wardrobe! New me I hope.

I wanted to share these! I have lost about 3 stone in the last year and 5 stone in the last few years. SO this winter I wanted some new bits and pieces and I needed some bits as not everything fitted very well anymore.

I feel much more confident and rather than hiding in clothes I never really liked and pinning for jumpers and little dresses this year I finally feel confident enough to pull them off. I firmly believe in everyone is beautiful whatever shape you are and I see girls much bigger than I ever was pulling off the styles I longed to wear and looking amazing. I however as much as I tried couldn’t bring myself to do it and hated what I saw when I tried to dress like that. So this year its great to put on things I have wanted to wear for years and think woo I look good. Well some days some days not so much but that is something I need to work on my confidence!

SOOO I am loving jumpers at the moment. Festive sorts are my favourite with fairisle patterns and anything soft and warm or polka dot related! :)

Skater skirts are obviously a must with them for me! And denim ones are still my favourites as they go with anything and everything!

I’m loving little skater style dresses and smock dresses. Generally feeling like a small child :D Any cute pattern will suit and I am loving the tartan and checked look which I didn’t ever think I would go for.

So here are some of the bits I have picked up in the last month and I am very very pleased with most of them! Now I must stop buying things as I never bloody have time to wear them! 

1. Primark jumper…. Not great quality. IT’S LOVELY! but it was exceptionally itchy so i washed it before I worn it to try and soften it. It then shrunk on the white bits?? So It is a little uncomfortable now. Was about £12.

2. Forever 21 jumper! Love forever21 jumpers at the moment. So soft and comfy and fit great! That was around £18 I think.

3. South Dress from Very…. omg i saw this fell in love and found it on very for £12.50 in the sale :o Fits lovely and feels very fancy, so happy i had a nice smart going out dress and the foxes are to die for!

4. Yumi Dress. Saw this on modcloth for a lot of monies. Realised it was a english brand and was on House of Fraser for half price around £26. Looked amazing with black tights and heels. Almost didn’t order as i didn’t know what size to get between 3 >.< went smack bang in the middle and fitted perfectly.

5. Primark dress…. so cute makes me think of a school girl dress. My dad treated me to it. Really comfy not as flattering as the rest as its a smock style rather than being really skater style. So comfy though and only £12

6. Primark dress.. Loved this really different from what I normally wear! Nice and comfy wore it to MCM and was really nice to wear.

7. Forever 21 cardigan! Really loved this lovely festive print but not too festive so it can be worn in winter not just at Christmas. Had to size up as it was tight around the bust and I wish the sleeves were longer. I think this was around £18ish

8. Christmas Jumper, Primark around £12 Primark is FAB for xmas jumpers a little bit of silly for really cheap. I prefer mine from last year which i never really wore and this came up huge I had to go for an XS so it means the arms are very short. Pretty decent for the price though and not insanely itchy!

I’m so torn with Primark. They make great patterned and styled things. Things that was a little most adventurous or different! The dresses I love and think are great fits and quality for how cheap they are.

However things like my jumper put me off. Still itchy and fits a bit weird now! I’m not sure how much jumper wise I would buy from them which is a shame as they do awesome patterns.

I think I prefer to have quality over quantity although I do love their dresses I can't fault those.

So I went for an interview last Monday and I have been shortlisted out of two people for a 2^nd interview and mine is tomorrow. I am craping myself as I want this job sooo much! I went for it back in June and didn’t get it and the same position in a different part of the company had popped up and I got a phone call about it! I was so gutted I burst into tears lol I really really want a fresh new start for the new year. New people in my life a new environment to work in and a new direction in my life too! Plus a new look as I continue to lose weight and feel better about myself.  The place seems amazing and I love the atmosphere unlike where I am now. Plus its casual dress and I gots lots of clothes that need wearing :D

I know I am a nice person I really think I deserve a new start and a better year next years because the last two have been pretty fucking wank.

Boo it's Monday morning. The autumn is coming for sure!

Monday morning AGAIN! Sigh. Weekend was a quiet one, especially compared to last weekend, although right now I am wishing SO HARD that I could go back a week. I would have a lovely meal tonight and my birthday and Lonleat tomorrow. Alas, I do not own a time machine, yet….. so I will have to get on with a normal mundane week.

So I went out with a friend for lunch/dinner on Saturday and me and matt went shopping afterwards. I got myself a winter coat which I wore in the car this morning but it’s really hurting my arm. This seems to be an issue I have in coats and I’m not sure why :/ i think it is because I have quite a broad back alas. I may have to take it back, if its uncomfortable I will never wear it not 100% sure if I am going to return it or exchange it for the next size up! I guess I will have a look at the weekend.

I also got a really nice hello kitty hoody in the sale in Forever 21 reduced from around £19 to £7.99. I love a good hoody to bum around in at home! I also spent my birthday monies on two jumpers I have been eyeing up for some time on ASOS.

I LOVE LOVE the fox one, but it’s more than I usually spend (£35) so I was waiting for a sale, but I noticed a lot of sizes had sold out so I thought I better act quick! And the star one was £22 and just looks really practical and comfy.! They should be here tomorrow so I really hope they look nice on me!

I hope they all look nice! I really like them.

Sunday was very quiet for me, just spent some time with family. And now its Monday and I have to drag my ass swimming. 

My weight loss has slowed to a halt pretty much since France! Now my birthday and holiday are long gone it's time to get back on track. The plan is to turn the 40lbs lost into 50lbs lost by Christmas! :D They that will be a loss of 3.5 stone... Maybe I could make it to a loss of 56lbs and that will be 4 stone lost! We shall see anyway!

I will do a post when my jumper arrive! :D

2 months, wedding, outfits and trash talking.

Ok so it has been 2 months since I have updated properly! There’s not that much to yak on about I don’t think.

I’ll guess I will start with work. It’s been ok of late, I got given a MASSIVE project at the end of July beginning of August and I only finished it on the 29^th of August, so that’s kept me really busy for  a month. The last 3 days at work though have kind of become painfully dull and I have been horribly unmotivated. Luckily I have 8 more days at work (and a weekend in-between) left and then I have 9 days off and me and Matt are going to France so that should be very exciting.!

I haven’t had any proper time off since March so I am REALLY in need of a bit of me time. It’s always lovely when we go to Matt’s Dad’s. Its so peaceful and beautiful. I’m kinda just really looking forward to doing NOTHING! Eheh!

So what have I done or what do I have to report in the last 2 months. Well weightless is going GREAT! Lost 37lbs now. That’s well over 2 stone I think…. let me work this out…yes its 2stone and 9lbs! So not far off of 3 stone. In actual fact in total I have lost 65lbs since being my heaviest. That’s nearly 4.5 stone! I find that MIND BLOWING! That is over about 3-4 years though. I don’t feel that much different, but people have started to notice recently so I guess it shows. I guess where it seems so slow to me I just don’t pick up on it. The only time I notice is when I put clothes on and go ‘OH they don’t fit anymore!’ or ‘OH! That’s rather baggy where it wasn’t before!’.

I hope to lose another 1-2 stones before Christmas. Corrr…. Picked a bad time of the year to do that me thinks! But my will power is strong this time and I am swimming twice a week at the moment so hopefully I can do it!

So I will just talk about the last few weeks as I can’t remember all the happenings in 2 months!

Not the weekend just gone but the one before was the lovely bank holiday and we went to Lauren and Martin’s wedding. The weather this summer has been pretty glorious, most days sunny and very warm. On this Saturday it was chilly, grey and RAINED ALL DAY ALONG! It was a lovely day though.

They had it in a yurt! Lauren looked amazing and I got to wear my new dress. Oooo the dress.

So Matt was asking me questions about dresses all day a few weeks ago…. The next day he brings me a present and he bought me this BEAUTIFUL Hell Bunny dress. It was a little too big and we ended up ordering a smaller one that fitted like a glove!

So I got to save it and wear it to the wedding. I felt a million bucks in it! 

 Because I designed the wedding invitations and save the date cards too, I got given a special gift in the speeches. Lauren makes the most beautiful handmade silver jewellery. I have been admiring it for some time now and she gave me a necklace and earrings. They are absolutely gorgeous! I was very touched.

The starter was to die for! And the main was nice too! Didn't enjoy the desert but it was cheesecake! I gave it a go though!

Really did have a lovely time!

Me and Matt then went and did a bit shopping on Sunday and came across these Converse glasses. I fell in love. Matt insisted he bought them for me but they were £180ish and I said I wanted to have a good think first. We then found them online for £95, so saved a good £80!   

Its a pretty poor picture of me in them, but they were shipped today and should hopefully be here tomorrow or Thursday! Yaay!

So yeah that's a little snippet of my last two months.... not been over exciting and I will end on a outfit post from the weekend. Autumn is on it's way, people seem to be sad I am exceptionally happy so I bought this awesome jumper! <3 It was to cheer myself up as some asshole had pissed me off on the Friday.....

Funny as I now know what a pathetic, lying BORING little cunt she is! And this jumper celebrates the fact they are GONE out of my life. Good feeling taking out the trash especially when it's been rotting away for a few months.

I WILL KEEP this blog updated more!

I had a really nice Saturday this weekend. Work last week was manic and I had so much to do. But that was good as it meant the days flew by! But I have loads to do today and tomorrow.

Saturday I got up real early and went and took Matt to the station and then went to spec savers and got the contacts sorted out! Dailies seem  to be working much better for me than monthly ones. I then drove straight to Croydon and was there by 10:30am and it was really quiet and very pleasant shopping on a Saturday as usually I go in the afternoon and it is way too busy and hectic. 

 I had a very good shop too and got some lovely bits. The jumper to the right, I've always wanted a tacky Christmas jumper and now my dreams have come true and for £12 too so it wasn't even expensive. I cannot wait to wear that out at Christmas time! WOOOPA! 

Then I went into New look and found a LOVELY skirt and I tried it on a it looked great which made me very happy. It’s hard to find skirts that I love. Usually I hate the pattern or the shape is completely wrong, but this one was exactly what I like and I also bought a Moustache scarf! I will post a picture of them up when I am next wearing them!
I then went for lunch and a look round Redhill with Gem and then picked Matt up from work and headed over to Cat’s house to have a night with the girls from Uni and a little birthday thing…. BUT THEY ACTUALLY THREW ME A SURPRISE PARTY.

 It was soo soo soo cool and there was a party table and balloons and a banner and food and drink! It was sooo nice! And then they got me the coolest gifts. They all went and got me a bear hoody that I have wanted forever and Aimee drew me a pillow of all the amazing things that I love the most. It made me completely speechless which is something that is very hard…. It was amazing and it was all so thoughtful!

We then ordered Pizza and ate too much, watched some TV played with balloons and just had a really really nice night! I had to leave about midnight as I was falling asleep I was so tired, but it was fun and I was really touched they would go out their way to do that for me.

Sunday on the other hand was pretty shit. Had a MASSIVE HEADACHE, weather was awful and it was boring and long and I wasted half  the day asleep. Ahhh well, and now it’s Monday again and I have a whole week of work ahead of me. Boooo….

Toodles.
