Top - Monki
Skirt - Primark
Cardigan**, Shoes - New Look
Glasses - George at ASDA
Tights - Mama's

Total Outfit Price: £27.49

I have had Jackson by Johnny Cash and June Carter in my head all day. I love the film Walk the Line and we have a Johnny Cash CD in the car so there's no surprise this is in my head.

I got this top in my Monki order, I went a little bit mad and got some really pretty tops from their sale. I brought a beautiful straw boater and pretty summer dress. Now here's waiting for the sun.

I've been trying to get my uni work done today but it's not going great. Oh well another week before it's due.

I also made macarons today and they went well. I can blog a recipe if your interested?

Chunky cardi, chunky heels!

dress - Charity Shop
necklace, shoes, cardi** - New Look
tights - George at Asda

Total Outfit Price: £23.99

This is one of the gorgeous dresses I picked up last week. The whole shop went crazy when I found the two beautiful dresses. I love that feeling when you find something pretty that everyone else has over looked. Their loss!

Just having a lazy day off, I made a beautiful bread, edited some wedding photographs and caught up on blogs and gossip girl.

I have the whole weekend off (lovely!) and I'm planning on visiting a farmers market and having afternoon tea somewhere.

I love lazy weekends.

I picked this dress up on Tuesday! New Look are selling a lot of their summer dresses for £10 and you can even use student discount on top of that. It’s cheaper than I can get it normally with my staff discount! Such a bargain! And a super cute print too.

I ordered some things from ASOS so just waiting for those to arrive! I can’t wait I have ordered two really pretty dress and a cute printed shirt. But all will be revealed soon.

I’m off to work. Hope your having a good day!

P.S It’s the last few days of nominating for the Cosmo Blog Awards and I would love if you could nominate me! Just click on the link below. Thank you so much.

top* - primark, skirt - chairty shop, jewellery - kukee, shoes - new look

Total Outfit Price: £11.99

My day off today and I am planning to fill it with taking blog photos and filming youtube videos. By the way if you have any video requests please let me know as I'm on the look out for ideas!

Today's outfit is one of the ones I planned last week when we had bright sunshine (only lasted two days!) and I've been waiting for the weather to wear it. Today is by no means sunny but at least it's not raining or as it did yesterday thunder and lightning. That resulted in a power cut at work! Oh Great British weather how we loathe you. I hope any international readers are having better weather?

Anyway must get on! Hope your Monday's not to miserable!

Oh and if you have a moment it would be really great if you could nominate Little Paper Swans for the Cosmo Blog Awards as nominating ends on Friday. So if you have a spare minute I'd be really grateful!


P.S I'm thinking of doing a giveaway when I reach a hundred followers what would you like to win? Let me know.

Playing dress up!

top - new look, skirt - primark, shoes - shoezone, watch - gift

Total Outfit Price: £14.08

I didn't wear this outfit today but as the sun was shining (shame it didn't do that earlier when I was walking to work!) I thought I'd show you my new skirt. I went shopping with Mamma on Saturday and I ended up buying three skirts! All super cute and one that has the cutest print on it! All to be revealed soon!

This boat style skirt was £5 from Primark, it was in the sale but they did have a few so I expect at lot of Primarks have them. It's so cute a a longer length means I don't have to wear tights. I am actually liking longer skirts at the minute I still like a short skirt, but I need the weather to wear them.

Anyway that's all for now. I'm expecting my Glossybox to arrive tomorrow! Yay! I can't wait I'll be filming a video probably for that. My film on my iphone to see what it comes out like and it will upload so much quicker!

P.S If you have a spare second I would love it if you could vote for Little Paper Swans in the Cosmo blog awards. It would mean the world to me. Thank you lovelies!
