Check Mate

I did mean to post this on Friday but have been too busy, time has been racing by. I've posted a few instagram snaps today if you fancy a nose, my username is amilliondresses. We have almost finished the house, just a couple of things left to build, chairs to paint and then the big internet install which I cannot wait for! I know I've been lucky having an iPad with a 3G card but it really is not the same, I find it really hard to type on this damn thing!!

 

Anyways onto this outfit. I picked up this Topshop dress in the sale. I had been keeping a beady eye on it waiting for it to hit the sales rack. It's a fab colour and I love the simple pattern. It's jersey so really easy to wear. I know I always wear this cardi, I can't help it - I love it so much! The only days I don't wear it are if I am wearing a jumper or if it's in the wash! I am looking longingly at my nails, haven't worn falsies in over a week :( So looking forward to getting them back on next week, feel a bit naked without them.

 

Dress: Topshop

Cardigan: H&M

Court Shoes: Clarks @ Spartoo Shoes*

 

Hope you're having a fab weekend whatever you're doing :)

Wednesday Wants

Being up to my elbows in paint and having no Internet connection hasn't stopped me online shopping! Oh no. Would take a lot more than that, haha. Whilst armed with a roller I've been dreaming of summer days and BBQs in our new garden and have found the perfect little dresses for the occasion.

 

Gingham always makes me think of summer and this beauty from WhitePepper is just perfect. The slight smock-ness means it is perfect for lounging around in and over indulging in a burger or two, no one needs a tight waist band when there's food involved.

 

Dress: WhitePepper @ asos

 

Denim is perfect for long, hot days. No chance of creases spoiling the fun, just throw it on and forget about it. This little denim skater dress from Missguided is perfect!

 

Dress: Missguided

 

How nice is this colour?! Not sure it would work with my hair but I want to find out. Love everything about it, the buttons, the shape and of course the pockets! I do love a good pocket.

Dress: Topshop

 

I fancy a pair of these converse ballet pumps, they would look fab with all of the above dresses and be a staple of my summer wardrobe.

Flat Shoes: Converse @ Spartoo Shoes

 

What's on your wish list this week?

Ginger Fizz

Hey gang. Hope you're all well. Feels strange it having Internet or the time to check my phone every five minutes! We got the keys for our new home on Friday and have been putting in 16 hour days ever since. I ache in places I didn't know existed! We've gone from no stairs to a three storey town house and everything I need seems to be on the furthest floor away. Who needs a gym?!

We have made really good progress with the painting. Today we have ripped up the laminate ready for the new floor fitting tomorrow. The biggest day is Wednesday when the new carpet is gonna be fitted, that's going to make so much difference and really finish the rooms. We haven't been able to unpack much yet so after that I can get rid of all the boxes hanging around. The existing carpet is disgusting, full of cat hairs & very worn. It's grim and has been causing me an allergic reaction :-/


I can't wait til the weekend, we will be able to have some downtime then and actually enjoy our new home. All this hard work will be very much worth it! I can't wait to share before and after photos with you, I've been planning this for 14 weeks and am so excited to see my plans come together.
I found this ginger fizz dress on the Ark Clothing website and needed it! I loved it when I found the cream version but adore this one more. I love the gem print, it's even more cute up close.

I'm off to finish up and get an early night ready for the grafting that tomorrow brings.
