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.

Remember that vintage dress??

Do you remember that vintage dress I posted about a month ago, the one that needed shortening? Well it got shortened, and I was able to wear it over Christmas so here are the pics. Im really pleased with how it looks now, and was overjoyed when I found a pair of genuine vintage Mary Quant tights in my stocking!! I knew they would work so well with the dress.

Dress: Vintage

Belt: Borrowed from sis

Tights Vintage Mary Quant

Necklace: beads from Primark, brooch on necklace Vintage

Shoes: Jasper Conran (I know I have worn them in all 3 of my last outfits, but it was icy and I didn't want to go flying in heels!!)

Kept warm with my wonderful Afghan coat from Kit Clothing and Trilby from Primark (I love Trilbies!!)

Plus my new bag I had for Christmas, from a random stand in the middle of a shopping center, so my mother informs me!

So today was about a little bit of shopping and working in the pub (although I got to finish early as we were really quiet). I went to Primark to pick up some stuff for the swap I am doing with Patty Ann and some stuff for crafting/selling. (If you fancy doing a clothes swap with me, just drop me and email to daisymay_chantele at hotmail.com) It was busy there but no busier than usual really, but I managed to get some really cute bows to craft with and some really nice stuff in the sale. I called into Waterstones to spend the voucher I had for Christmas. I wanted the Twiggy book but it is all out of stock, so I am going to wait a little and see if it comes down in price before ordering it.

So who is looking forward to tomorrow night? What is everyones plans? As you have probably guessed I shall be working, but at least I get New Years Day off, and we get loads of free drinks after work, so I don't mind too much. Then from Sunday I have a whole blissful week off. Yay! It shall be spent reading, watching DVD's we got for xmas, playing with my sewing machine, finishing wedding invitations, making some jewellery and possibly working on launching an etsy/blog shop.

Now some news, I have at least 4 competitions lined up for next year all ready. The first will be starting on New Years Day, so remember to check back then to see what wonderful prizes I have for you all to win! You won't be disappointed, I promise!

Good Night!
