Frock Horror!

Like most girls I love fashion, I love getting dressed up, trying out different looks and basically playing around with style however I have fallen out of love with 'fashion trends'....let me explain.

I was going to a party last Saturday at my boyfriends cousins house, she lives over an hour drive away so I decided I'd wear a comfortable, recent River Island purchase and current trend....the Midi-Dress

Being vertically challenged I had to take it up a little (ok a lot) an inch too short or long and the 'midi' just doesn't work!

Anyway a combination of leaving myself too little time to make alterations and a snow storm (what is with that, White Easter???!) meant I unfortunately had to choose a different outfit :(

I wanted to wear my new dress, I was sad...until I got the party!!!

Almost every girl at the party had followed the Midi-Dress trend and 3 of them had the dress I had been about to wear!!!

After the initial shock/relief and a few French Martini's I started to find the situation amusing although the fact that no one mentioned it made me think they didn't find it quite as amusing.

The stats: 24 girls at the party, 19 in Midi-Dresses, 3 in my dress and 2 other sets of midi-dress 'twins'. That is crazy!!!!

I returned the dress the very next day i couldnt bring myself to wear it, as much as I loved it, it seems too many other girls did too!

I had a close shave from this frock horror but I guess, I love fashion I will continue to follow trends and buy on the high street my time will come soon enough!

Are we ladies or sheep?

Do you follow trends?

Have you ever turned up to an event and someone has the same dress on?

It's almost the weekend :) have a good, Good Friday and....

Keep Smiling :D

You're Hired!

Hello Lovelies!

I hope you all had a good weekend!
After saying my partying was over for a while I ended up partying. FAIL
Well you can't have Irish roots and not party on St Paddy's Day now can you?

Did you celebrate St Patricks Day?

Enough rambling and back to the Random Little Thought...

A friend pointed out to me yesterday that I have a pretty good sense of direction, after stating that 'I'd add that to my CV!'
I thought I'd share some other talents I think I should add to my CV (because exam results, degrees, masters and work experience....well that's just boring, right!?)


• I can sing/rap along to any 50cent song missing out all naughty words (as pointed out by the guy next to me on the treadmill at the gym)

• I have been the cereal box game champion for 8 consecutive years!

• I can, although only 4ft11 take up more space in a queen size bed than any regular or large sized human

• I am an excellent hug giver

• I can and have on a few occasions eaten a whole (large) jar of Nutella in one sitting

• I can walk succesfully in 5 inch heels. Currently working towards perfecting the 6 inch heel!

• I'm a good listener

• I can smile when I'm sad

• I am an avid collector of shoes

• I could play any part in any Harry Potter movie, I could also play Tom Cruise as Maverick and Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister! (Annoying as it is, I quote these movies almost on a daily basis)

• I can mimic accents very well and believe I have mastered Irish, Jamaican and Australian thanks to friends accents rubbing off on me!

• I have the ability to fall over any place, any time and in any situation!

• I can fit a closet full of clothes into one suitcase

• My greatest achievement this year so far is completing week 1 of the Insanity 60 day programme.....it's TOUGH!

• My greatest achievement in life so far was getting my drivers licence, I've still no idea how I managed that one!

There that's better would you hire me? Haha


Do you have any hidden talents?

Have a great week!
Keep Smiling :D

Friday! Fundraising! Fun!

Hello Lovelies,

All Fridays are happy but this Friday was designed to turn frowns upside down, make you giggle till it hurts and even draw some happy tears!

Today is Red Nose Day or RND, I'm pretty sure if you are from the UK you will be familiar with Comic Relief and RND.

For those of you who aren't Comic Relief is basically a British Charity in which most of the funds go to Africa (it was originally founded in the early 80's for famine in Ethiopia).

I read this week that in the 25 years since Comic Relief was founded the Great British public have pulled together £600 million and changed the lives of 50 million people in the UK and in Africa! That's impressive stuff right there!!

RND is the day they host a huge Telethon and a TV production where we see what all the Comedians, TV stars, pop stars and such like have done to raise funds! My favourite was the year Britain's best loved stars climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.

This year I believe Jessie J is shaving her hair off and Britain's....well THE WORLDS favourite boyband, One Direction have recorded this years soundtrack...which obviously I've been playing constantly.

Of course then there is the beloved Red Noses which I guess are for kids but hey I'm a big kid at heart!

They are cute little Dinosaurs this year :)

 

Heres me being silly with my Red Nose :D

 

Across the country today people will have gone to work or school in PJ's or some form of fancy dress, men will be getting body hair waxed, heads will be shaved and all other sorts of silly fun to raise some cash!

The company I work didn't do anything (Bah Humbug) but my 6.15am BodyPump class were sporting our favourite PJ's and made a donation to do so!

Who could complain at an extra 20mins in bed - fall out bed, wash face, brush teeth. GYM!

I was very cautious though, the last time I drove in my PJ's (don't judge me ha, I was driving my sister to work at 5am on a Sunday, yawn) and yeah you guessed, I had a bump and had to get out the car swap details then wait 45mins on a recovery truck....embarassing!!!

 

What are you doing for Comic Relief?

What fun things have you done to raise money for charity?

Have an amazing weekend!

Keep Smiling :D....or Laughing Out Loud :D

 

 

Don't forget to donate to this great cause if you can <3

Overdosing on Birthday Cake..

Hello Lovelies.

Remember Me?...

Huge apologies for neglecting my blog these last few weeks.

I have had so much socialising (which I'm not used to) that I didn't even realise 3 weeks had passed since I last posted, how did that even happen?!

2013 really is flying past my eyes!

It's pretty much been birthdays, birthdays and more birthdays.

The Boyfriend turned 31 at the end of Feb and he is currently hating the fact that I'm still in my 20's! Hehee!!

His biggest hobby (he has many) is amateur motor racing so when I asked what he would like for a birthday gift my options were, gloves to match the race suit he got for Xmas or underwear for his race suit, I opted for the underwear then made a joke about it on Facebook! ;)

Lets be honest you cant buy someone UNDERPANTS as a birthday gift and not laugh about it.

I must add they were rather expensive, had it been regular mens underwear from H&M, I would have expected David Beckham to come free with them, haha!

that was just an excuse to share some eye candy with you!!

We had a little group night out in town to celebrate as 3 of his friends share the same birthday!

My sister and I, the boys are behind avoiding the camera

Next I had one of my good friends birthdays, the girls all got together and had champagne at hers

then we headed in to Edinburgh to celebrate in Lola Lo's which is a tiki bar/nightclub we all had a great night

Group Photo

Cheers!!

The Birthday Girl

they even brought her some cupcakes to our

table...which were delicious!!!

The CREEPY dancefloor photo

...some silly ones

Another birthday... my friend from school, Lynsay, she recently had some Indian cooking lessons and rather than having a night out she invited us round to put her new skills to the test.

The food was AMAZING!! She made us all cocktails too :)

Goanese Crabcakes/Salmon Achari Tikka
Mango Sorbet/Strawberry Daquiri

She even made a mini (Angela-Size) Strawberry Daquiri just for ME!

Last but not least I had my godson's 5th Birthday, where they didn't let me win pass the parcel....how rude!! haha

So lovelies I have pretty much been eating my weight in birthday cake, drinking cocktails and having fun!

Sadly (or not so) my working out has taken a slight side step but the partying is over now (for a few months anyway) and just to be sure I started THIS last night....

Wish me luck, I know I'm going to need it!!!

I hope you all have been having fun times too!

Keep Smiling :D
