Today we started painted the downstairs bathroom. It's in 'soft steel' so it looks light and airy. I think it will make our pictures and mirror really pop. We also took Stark for a walk with our friends and their dog. We came across a dead bunnies and their dog decided it looked like a nice snack! Surprisingly Stark wasn't at all interested and just wanted to carry on playing ball. 

Snack:

Song Of The Day: Emanuel - Make Tonight
Reason: Love this album, such a great band! 

Highlight Of The Day: Going through some of my old stuff at my Mums. Really nice to see my childhood toys. 

Inspiration Of The Day: Killah. One of my favourite brands when I was younger and I'm gutted my old things don't fit anymore!

Today we had a family BBQ at my Mums. She always puts on a good spread so I'm still stuffed! I've also made my lunch for work tomorrow. I'm starting to try to eat a bit more healthily and to save money instead of buying it all the time, so I have lots of nice salad leftover from the BBQ to take with me. As it was so hot I decided to go for a floaty black skirt with a short front hem and a low back hem, with a black vest top covered by my vintage Hawaiian shirt. It's nice to not by wearing my uniform for a change! 

Song Of The Day: Lana Del Rey - Mermaid Motel
Reason: My favourite Lana song of the moment.

Highlight Of The Day: Nice food and enjoying the nice weather with family. 

Inspiration Of The Day: Lana Del Rey style nails!

Today was a normal Monday; work followed by puppy training. Stark is getting lots better at doing what he's asked but were still not having much success with him still peeing in the house sadly! Today's PED is of my outfit from yesterday, it's a nice summery vintage Hawaiian tie shirt with a white vest top and a grey skirt from M&S. I also wore my plastic strawberry and cherry chain necklace and some green bead bracelets. 

Song Of The Day: Queens Of The Stone Age - First It Giveth
Reason: My fave QOTSA song, I was listening to part of their love performance of their new stuff on Radio One and it sounds great! 

Highlight Of The Day: The season finale of Game Of Thrones! Bit of an anticlimax as there's too many questions I want to know the answers to still!

Today we had a dog trainer to see Stark and to give us some advice. We've got some things to be working on including 'leave' and voice tone changes to indicate good or bad behaviour. We have another session in a couple of weeks when he's grown up a little bit more, but he's doing really well considering he's only 3 months old! I also got round to putting our photos up of us and the cats from our photo session. They look really nice and I'm glad we chose the ones we did. I called at The Range this afternoon as well; I picked up some new bedsheets and some photo frames. I just need to start hanging them all now!

Song Of The Day: Sugarcult - Crying
Reason: Not heard this for so long. I first heard it on a CD that came with Kerrang! magazine in around 2004.

Highlight Of The Day: Seeing how quickly Stark can learn new things.

Inspiration Of The Day: Reversed high heels by Leanie Van Der Vyver.

Today Stark went to the vets to get checked out. They said his diarrhea is normal as he's had such a big change which is for the best, but has still upset his little tummy. He's got some medicine to make him feel better and we're hoping to see the effects over the next couple of days. We've been playing 'puppy-copter' with him, which he loves! It basically involves him 'flying' ie being carried at arms length and making plane noises. He loves it! I also have half a day off tomorrow so I can have a lie in! Yay!

Puppy-copter:
Helicopter Puppy

Song Of The Day: Radiohead - Creep
Reason: Amazing song! Love it! There were some right cracking songs on the radio today.

Highlight Of The Day: Hearing that Stark is a happy, healthy pup.

Inspiration Of The Day: Wooden ties by Wood Thumb. I wish I was a guy!

Just a quick Outfit Of The Day post. This is the outfit I wore out last Friday. I wore a white floaty dress that I bought from a random shop in Camden ages ago; a black Ralph Lauren belt; a stag ring a friend bought me for my birthday; a long necklace with a skull, dagger and a gun; a black ring with a fake pearl from Miss Selfridge; a charm bracelet that an Aunty bought me for xmas one year; black Victorian styled, lace up boots I've had for years but only wear on rare occasions as the zip on one boot has jammed and I'm scared of ruining them and lastly a good old pair of leggings. I'd also done my hair in a bun for a change.

White:

Today has been a nice day off. Firstly, I had a nice lie in. Then we went to Willow Pool to take a few photos. Sadly it was a bit bare but we did have a nice lunch there. We stopped off at Walton Gardens and had a quick walk around the zoo. We then went for our belated Valentines Day meal at the Chilli Club, which is a thai restaurant in Lymm. It's amazing and I really recommend it! I'm definitely looking forward to our week away in March though! I'm desperate for a real break.

Peacocks:

Today was my second to last day before my two weeks off! I went to Weatherspoons after work with two of the girls from work so we could have our pay day burgers! We're hoping to make it a regular pay day event as it's nice to be social outside of work. I also bought a new top which I wore tonight. £12 from the Izabel range stocked by Fuse in our store. It's nice and comfy and will go with a lot of my stuf. I also managed to convince the boy that we should go to the Horse Of The Year Show next Thursday! So I'm super excited and trying to decide what cameras and films to take!

Song Of The Day: Beyonce - Countdown

Highlight Of The Day: Booking HOYS tickets!

Today I have been wearing my Jasper Conran shirt that I've had for ages. It reminds me of the 80s as it has huge loose sleeves. It hangs quite nicely, but it is a little long in the body as I'm all legs and no torso! I wore it with a simple Zara black vest top and a Zara skirt. I would have worn my creepers with it but I couldn't find them so settled for my usual (muddy) boots. I love wearing blouses and shirts as I love the smart, preppy look. I also wore my hair out in a bun today. I've been having a bit of a play about with hair styles recently as I'm so bored of having super long hair and not making the most of it. I think it looked ok, but I'm still getting used to how I look with my hair up.

Jasper:

Song Of The Day: Azealia Banks - Liquorice
Reason: She has the most beautiful hair in this video!

Highlight Of The Day: A nice hot chocolate with a friend.

Today has been a regular Saturday off; coffee, shopping in town with Mum then lazing around doing the cleaning. I bought some nice yellow jeans, which is a little different from my usual black, navy and striped colour range! But I saw them on someone else and really liked them so I'm giving them a go.

Mellow Yellow:
Mellow Yellow

Song Of The Day: Nelly Furtardo - Big Hoops
Reason: Heard it a couple of times and just watched it on a recording of Alan Carr: Chatty Man. I can't quite make my mind up about it, I think I think it's so bad that it might actually be good!

Highlight Of The Day: We went for a look around Stockton Heath and called into the vintage shop. They had some gorgeous stools and table made out of recycled bikes, the foot rests were pedals! So cool. They had a gorgeous 50s style dress in the window but it was a size 10. I tried it on anyway and it was literally an inch too small. I was gutted! But this is my HOTD because I'm chuffed that my waist is still a size 10!

Today has been a good day. First, my Mum, Step-Dad and Pixie came over for lunch, then we all went to Willowpool. I will illustrate today with a photo story!

Firstly, we had a gorgeous desert at Willowpool! It was called something cream delight or something very similar:

Spring Outfit

This is what I'm looking to wear this spring. The weather is getting better but it still isn't summer, so I've teamed a nice floaty skirt with tough boots and a bleached jacket. I think the chain jewellery gives it a tough, biker style edge.
