Hiya everyone
As a self confessed shopaholic you would expect I go shopping a lot! Well I must admit I feel I have not been shopping in ages I mean like a proper shopping session. Last weekend I met up with a friend I have not seen since before christmas and we went shopping :)
We had such a fab day including a free meal at Chiquitos!! To cut a long story short we had a lovely meal (they even have a gluten free menu now) anyway when I ordered desert they bought out my ice cream in like a pastry basket (hard to explain and I am not sure what its called) I was unsure if the 'basket' looking thing was gluten free (usually I would ask but all the waitresses had disappeared and I had ordered it from the GF menu. However as I was unsure I thought I would just eat the ice cream but not the 'basket' thing...whatever it was! After I finished eating we asked for the bill and the manager came over knelt down very quietly by our table and asked if I had eaten any of the 'basket'...I said no but there had been a couple of bits in the ice cream.. She was very red faced and was sincerely apologetic, she said I should not have been given it and therefore we had no bill!! It was great we did not have to pay but I do think that oversight could have been costly to someone if they had eaten it. I could have been quite ill!

Anyway drama over we then went shopping which was fun. I did buy quite a few things which was surprising as I has been moaning how rubbish the high street is at the moment...!
Firstly in New Look I bought this white shirt dress, I have wanted a plain white shirt dress for a while and it looks like shirt dresses are going to be big this spring/summer. I thought it would look lovely with denim jeggings and pretty ballet pumps or sandals.
Then in H&M I purchased this pretty floral dress. I love the pink floral print and it was only £12.99
I wore this dress today I am so chuffed that I can get into a size 10 in H&M especially as this has no stretch at all and I find their clothing is always on the small side.
The belt is from Primark and boots are from H&M. I did wear it with a longline pink cardi when I went out as it was so cold...

I also purchased this laced sleeved blouse in the sale. This was reduced to £10.00. I find H&M sizing so weird most of their items are on the small side but this blouse is in fact a size 6!!! I mean I am a 10 with a large chest so this is in no way a proper size 6!
I love this blouse though I adore the lace sleeves.
I also got some of the Heavy Leggings which are slightly dearer than the thinner onesl I really like these as I hate leggings that are so thin they are like opaque tights! These have a great quality look and feel to them.
Then in Accessorize I purchased this pretty pink purse. I really love Accessorize purses they always look nice quality. This was £5.00. I love the little pocket on the front which you can store cards in.
This belt also from Accessorize was £8.00 reduced to £2.40, I admit I have quite a few tan skinny belts but the quality of this one is 100 times better.
Then in Dorothy Perkins I could not resist this pretty little crochet hem top. This too is a size 6!!!
In Topshop another shop I rarely go into unless its to look at the sale or if there is something specific I want. I saw these cute little pink flat shoes for £7.00 in the sale. I am a size 4 but these are size 3 they seem to fit really well. These will be so cute for summer.
Finally Primark was pretty rubbish but I was so lucky to find this little cute laser cut top. I really love it and i was only £5.00. I really wanted it in pink or white/cream too but all they had was this gorgeous red and a horrible sick yellow colour!
I have not had a very good week this week really I won't go into details but on the plus side I got on the scales this morning and I was another 2lb lighter. I am now the lowest weight I have been for about 10 years...still want to lose more though!
Have a lovely weekend
Have a lovely weekend
Take care

I had a similar experience in a café once, Simon and I went for afternoon tea on my birthday and I told them all about my nut allergy, they were so good and asked me tons of questions. Then the cakestand turned up, I took a big bite of cake and realised pretty quickly it was peanut! I spat it straight out but still felt pretty ill. As I said to them they were very lucky I wasn't more poorly and realised! I haven't been back since!
ReplyDeleteI am so so happy that shirt dresses are going to be big this year, I love them and haven't owned one for years! Hope I can find something as cute as yours!
