Inspiration Monday

Morning Ladies. This weekend has been an exciting one for me.

First off I got the whole weekend off! Yay!

There were reasons though: I did a 7 mile midnight sleep walk (in a thunder storm!!) to help raise money for Ty Hafan, a children's hospital in cardiff, which cares for children with terminal illnesses.

I am still collecting sponsors and would love it if a few of my readers would donated to this amazing cause. Just click here to donate, every penny helps.

Photos to come.

Plus this weekend was a rather important one for Jon and me. Shall I give you a hint?

Yep this weekend (Sunday 8th May) marked our 1 year anniversary!! It has gone so so fast! I almost can't believe it. So Jon and I were home with our parents this weekend, and just spent it celebrating with Friends and Family. It was lovely.

As 1 year in the UK is traditionally paper I bought Jon tickets to Jimmy Carr and he bought me a voucher for a hour long Thai Back Massage (yum!)

Right on to today's real post. It's inspiration Monday and I am able to participate this week (after missing the last 2 due to being too busy)

As usual Megan and Nora set us all a celebrity outfit picture to be 'inspired' by: this week was a chilled look by Nicole Richie

I didn't have anything like that dress, so I had to wing it with my only mini dress. Plus sadly it isn't warm enough here at the moment to go bare legged, so I donned a pair of leggings to make it more weather suitable!

Dress: Topshop

Jacket: Levi

Leggings: Primark

Shoes: Peacocks

Bag: Unbranded

Sun glasses: Unbranded

Bracelet: Topshop

Necklace: Tiffany and Co

To see all the other ladies outfits just go to Two Birds Blog.

I thought I should introduce my baby!

Well this is my boxing day outfit, a little late I know, but just haven't had the time to post it till now! Im wearing some more new Christmas presents, the dress, jewellery and shoes. We just went to the pub to meet some old college mates (slightly weird because we haven't seen some of them for years, but most of them haven't changed at all). I put on my nice new coat again too!

Dress: Topshop

Top (under dress): Tommy Hilfiger

Footless Tights: Random

Jewellery: Unknown gift

Shoes: Jasper Conran

Hairband: Bought in Canada

And this everybody is my baby! Tipsy! She was a 21st birthday present off my honey, but I thought I should introduce her as I don't think I have posted a picture of her before. She is a cross dutch breed. But she is blind in one eye so keeps her head wonky, so her good eye is always facing up for her to see better. But its really cute now that we are used to it! She is nearly 2 and has a filthy temper, which everyone thinks is really funny. I mean have you ever heard a rabbit grunt and bark (literally) because she does when she is annoyed at you. She has such a character!

Anyway that is my baby and my boxing day outfit. How was your boxing day? Fun? Oh did you get snow? We had a little xmas eve but are forecast some for tonight and tomorrow so that will be fun (read sarcasm!).

Had to go back to work tonight in the pub and so did not want to be there after 3 very nice days off. But looking forward to the week me and the other half have booked off! Yay! Its just 5 shifts away!

Sorry about the first 2 pics being a bit bright, Jon hasn't worked out how to properly work the new camera yet! And then he will have to teach me! lol!

I have been having a bit of a career crisis recently. I hate the pub at the mo (as you have all probably guessed!) but I'm really not that keen to work in retail either. I would love to start my own online store selling vintage and hand made stuff, but is there really a big enough market for it? I have a degree in Journalism but am only really interested in TV production, which at the moment there are no jobs available in (believe me I have looked) unless we move to London, which we don't really want to do yet. So I want to go back to college and Finish my Photography A-level and do a textiles one too, what do you think? We can't afford for me to do it at the mo, but hopefully when september comes around again we will be able to. Should I just go for it?

Anyway that was all a bit deep wasn't it? Sorry.

Hope you all still having a great Christmas time, and end to 2009!
