Will It Be This Way Forever

The Courteeners - Will It Be This Way Forever

I've spoke many a time about Littlewoods Clearance as it is one of my favourite shops. I love a bargain but I do also appreciate quality and this shop is a great place to get some bargains at great quality.
On a normal day you can get some great bargains but on this particular day they had an extra 50% off all dresses, my favourites!


Oasis dress should be £59 bought for £11


Fern Cotton for Very dress should be £59 bought for £14.50
I've seen this dress before and liked it everytime but haven't been willing to pay £29 for it but I snapped it up at this price and it fits perfectly.


Fern Cotton for Very dress should be £59 bought for £11
I was unsure about this dress, I love the pattern and thought it would be great for a wedding I have later this year but I couldn't decide which way round it went!
It was on the hanger showing the picture below as the front and although I do like it the neck is too high for me. What I'm guessing is the back (picture above) looked fine as the front to me so I decided to get it and see how it looked........and it looks great so I will be wearing it backwards.


Do you have any clothes you wear the 'wrong' way?

Hate That I Love You

Rihanna - Hate That I Love You



Dress, Pink Cadillac
Shirt, Vintage
Watch, Avon
Rings, Primark
Bracelets, H&M, Primark and Dorothy Perkins

I got this shirt ages ago from a vintage market in Leeds, I could imagine it as the perfect summer cover up with so many outfits but I'd never worn it.
I made my self wear it last week and I realised the reason it never quite works.......and it's something I should have known straight away......I'm short.
Wear the elastic falls on the waist is too low down for me but it bunches up to my smallest part meaning I end up with too much material at the top, it's a bugger been small sometimes.

The Bear Necessities

Jungle Book - The Bear Necessities

Today I'm going to share with you a couple of items I bought from H&M in London. We didn't go to London for a shopping spree as we only went for the day but I couldn't resist looking in H&M, they always seem to have a better selection then up here.
Having said that I was disappointed with the sizes, I would have bought many more items if they had sizes above a 10.



I went in H&M looking for a LBD, I only have one (also from H&M) which is quite thick and has three quarter sleeves and I fancied something more suitable for summer.
This dress was supposed to be £14.99 but I asked for a discount as the belt was missing. I didn't want the belt but I'm never one to miss a discount, I got 15% knocked off the dress.


I love long shirts and I wear them often over outfits, mainly dresses. I couldn't resist this one for only £7.99, the colour is more suited to autumn/winter but I'm sure I'll be able to find something to wear it with in the warmer months but I shall be on the look out for more colours.

Would you have asked for a reduction on the dress?

Sunburn

Ed Sheeran - Sunburn

As must people did, I took advantage of the warm weather last weekend and went out drinking with a friend and to see a local band.
This is what I wore.......



T-Shirt, Leeds Festival 2010
Dress, Littlewoods Clearance
Boots, New Look
Belt, ASOS
Watch, Breo
Sunglasses, Boots
Rings, Primark
Bracelets, Primark, Dorothy Perkins and homemade by me

Whenever I see a band I always want to pull out a band/festival t-shirt and I love how this looks with the girly skirt/dress.

Did you have a good weekend? and by the way, I didn't get sunburnt I've been ginger for long enough to know to take care of my skin.

Things Aren't Gunna Change

The Cribs - Things Aren't Gunna Change

I donated some items to the charity the other week and couldn't help but have a browse for myself.




I got all three of these skirts for £3 each!
I wanted to look at skirts as most on the high street seem too short......these are too long but nothing I can't alter (hopefully)

I also bought 2 books and a tray, I do seem to shop a lot so feel free to follow me on Instagram for regular updates and I've also recently joined Vine and my username is lorna_rae
If you are on Vine and post videos of fashion related stuff please let me know so I can have a nosey. All I seem to see are animal videos.

Can't Speak French



Jumper & Skirt, Primark
Boots, New Look
Glasses, Firmoo


Quick outfit post showing you two of the items from my last haul.

I love these jersey skirts, they're perfect for work and play. I wore this outfit for work and I like that it's appropriate but also fun, which is generally the look I go for.

What do you wear for work?
