Music Monday - The Wombats

The WombatsI thought it was only fitting that The Wombats featured on Music Monday beens I am off to see them tonight at Hammersmith Apollo. I have seen them once before quite a few years ago at Koko just after "Lets dance to Joy Division" was released. That is still one of my favourites, it never fails to get me dancing!
I love The Wombats because they make fun music. Its fast and furious and always makes you want to shake your little bum. A favourite for me to listen too while I'm getting ready for a night out. Really does get you in the mood for dancing! They are amazing live and really know how to get the crowd going.



I am ashamed to say that I have not heard much of their new album, only the singles released on XFM. I am too scared to illegally download and not had the money to invest in any new music. But I am sure it will be amazing just like the rest of their material. I am looking forward to hearing some new songs tonight but also hoping that they play some of the oldies!



I leave you with my favourite, "Lets dance to Joy Division". Give them a listen!

I realise I look like coco the clown with the amount of make up I have on. The red cheeks are due to the fact it was boiling in my boyfriends house not that I had fun with blusher a bit too much haha!

This is the famous ebay dress! Hope its not a dissapointment haha! I have tried to show the collar in the second image. I love it, the leopard print is a bit too yellow but I think it works. It fits like a dream and has lovely rouched arms. The more I look at this outfit the more I think I look like a little old lady haha. The pearls, cardigan, bag and loafers all scream little old lady! I am always joking to my boyfriend that I take my inspiration from the oldies! I love these loafers, I have them in black too. Really can't go wrong when they only cost a tenner!

Me and the boyfriend did a spot of babysitting on babysitting for a family friend on Friday night and very kindly got paid for it. I really didnt expect anything because they supplied us with KFC, sweets and popcorn, I was more than ok being paid in chicken haha! So it was a nice surprise. We decided to go out for dinner at the local mexican restaurant last night (where I wore this outfit). Ahhhh it was gorgeous! As always I completely stuffed my face and left feeling that I needed to rolled back to the car as walking was far too muh effort. I feel off the lent wagon completely and had chilli nachos to start with chicken enchiladas as a main. I didn't have any fizzy drinks though so I am keeping to that side of the bargain! We had not been out for dinner for ages and it was nice to spend time together outside of a house!

I'm not really up too much today, been given the time off work. I think I am going to gatecrash my boyfriend down the pub in a little while then we are going shopping because his wardrobe is appalling. We had a clear out and he literally has no clothes. I might spend the money I have left over from the babysitting too. The £15 is burning a hole in my pocket, seen a gorgeous lace dress in Primark.

Anyone else got anything more exciting planned for today?

Work work work

Outfit:

Floral smock dress: Next

Grey tights: Mums drawer

Grey pumps: Primark

Red watch: Toywatch

My head seems to go to the side on its own when I pose haha!

Not a very exciting outfit today. I have worked all week so all my outfits this week have been uniform. This is what I wear to work! I am doing 26 hours this week, my usual contract is 10.5 so I am shattered. How will I cope with a full time job? Luckily I have the whole of next week off so it will be coursework, coursework and coursework. Much needed to be honest! I think this dress is a bit maternity like but it is so comfortable which is what I'm looking for when I am on my feet all day.

Not much to report for this week, pretty boring and its not going to be getting anymore exciting. I am offically broke, no more socialising for me! But I have The Wombats on Monday in Hammersmith which is pretty exciting. Luckily I have saved a little money for this! I am really looking forward to it, the last gig (well festival) I went to was Reading back in August. Agggges ago!

My gorgeous leopard print dress that I won on ebay arrived yesterday. I cannot wait to wear it once it has had a good wash. Its a lot brighter than it seemed in the pictures but i'm happy with it. Its such a nice length and the peter pan collar is so cute! I also recieved my OPI Thanks so Muchness nail varnish, I have been after it for ages and now want to buy the rest of the Alice in Wonderland set.

Hope your week has been a lot more exiting than mine! Hello to all my new followers :) Would be nice to speak to you so don't be afraid to comment! I am on twitter as @sophiesophuk too if any of you fancy a chat!
