30 for 30 challenge - Day 10 & 11

On we go with the 30 for 30 challenge. Day 10's outfit was for a BBQ at a friends.

+
Hand Made Necklaces
Oasis Hat
Vintage Necklace as bracelet
Primark Tights
Boot necklace is made from a vintage monopoly piece. The next necklace is up cycled from a broken vintage necklace. And the longest one I made from some bits of left over black chain, a broken bracelet and a few random beads.

I decided to get a little technical with my challenge and look at what my most versatile pieces are and which I gravitate towards more. And to possibly try and stop wearing the same items so much. So I made a little graph! Yay! This is the number of times each item has been worn up to day 11, so just over a third of the way into the challenge.


Sorry the text is small but it is the only way I could get it all to fit. The items run as they are numbered from left to right. (graph made here)

So that is my geekiness out of the way for now. I shall do another graph at Day 20, to see how things have changed.

New Pretty Reckless song out!! Hope you like!

30 for 30 challenge - Day 8 & 9

Well girls Im sorry for being so useless these past 2 weeks, just really hectic here. So here are Day 8 and 9 of my 30 for 30 challenge. I shall be posting 2 outfit days for a few days to catch up. There are also some pictures of my yucky allergic reaction, as a few of you guys clearly have a morbid curiosity about how I react. They aren't that gross really, but if your squeamish stop scrolling after the outfits! lol!

So Day 8's outfit is what I wore to Alton Towers so the main thing it needed to be was comfy.
Outfit made up of 3+4+22+30
3. Miss Selfridge
4. Bianca Nygard
22. Apple Bottoms
30. Jasper Conran

No accessories at all as I wanted the outfit to be simple and comfy for all the rides. I did wear my leather jacket a bit when it rained.

Day 9's outfit had no particular reason as far as I remember.
Outfit made up of 2+20+26
2. Tommy Hilfiger

26. George at ASDA

Flower necklace from Silk
Turquoise Bracelets gift from Jackie

Ok next comes my yucky leg so stop scrolling now if your squeamish.
I have a slightly strange allergy and I tend to even baffle doctors, who are adamant that it isn't an insect bite when I show them what happens. But I was diagnosed when I was little so I am used to it and know what it is. Strangely I thought I had grown out of it, as for 4 or 5 years I didnt have any trouble at all, but it came back! There is nothing really they can do about it, just antihistamines to stop the itching and antibiotics in case it gets infected, which it never has.

So first it swells like this. This took around 5 hours to rise. And it rose a few millimetres more before it hurt so much I had to pop it with a pin. That kinda is gross! It hurts rather than itches at this point.
Then when I pop it it goes like this. Although I did have to drain it about 5 times with a pin as it just kept swelling back up. It itches for about a day after popping. Now it doesn't itch or hurt really, but it does weep now and then so I have to tape bandages to it.
I also have a little one at the top of my leg. which only swelled a tiny, bit but the poison spread more in this one (see the red patch) so it itches like hell, and is raised and kinda hard.
So there ends my medical lesson for today, hope I haven't grossed you all out too much. Hopefully if any of you have a similar problem in the future you will now know what it is. Does anyone else have a weird allergy or reaction to things. I am allergic to quite a few other things but they just cause sneezing or a bad stomach (or a rash if its on my skin in some cases).

No more gross stuff from now on I promise.
More outfits tomorrow and some shots of the Cardiff Bay Wow Festival which was amazing!

Loving this guys voice and sound at the mo. Heard him for the first time yesterday on the radio.

30 for 30 challenge - Day 5

Well onto day 5, this seems to be going fairly well so far, although I have managed to repeat stuff already. This is mainly because today was just a day of food shopping and clothes washing so no need to wear anything to smart, plus the weather has been horrible, all wet and windy so I need to keep warm and dry.

22. Apple Bottoms
30. Jasper Conran (I wear these alot!!)

Today I also baked bread! I love my bread maker and usually mix the dough myself but this time I was lazy and just picked up a ready mixed bread mix from Tesco. The flour smelt great so within an hour my whole flat smelt amazingly of sundried tomato fresh bread. Yummy!! And for 98p its the best loaf of bread ever!
