I originally brought this skirt especially for my holiday but had to take the labels off due to Mother Nature forgetting it was August. Thunderstorms, seriously? I didn't want to wear tights as it is still August and I could not go bare legs as I have had a serious issue with orange legs. My fake tan did not apply well and it is taking ages to scrub off. I love the paper bag waist on this skirt and although it looks orange it is actually more of a vibrant red I think. It i such a statement skirt and I think it works really well being toned down with black. I think I have a love affair with maxi skirts, they really suit every occasion. I love how they can dressed up or down and are perfect for work as they can look smart.

I went out for an Indian for my friends birthday last night and had a gorgeous chicken rogan josh thanks to Sarah's advice. I am trying to eat healthily as my holiday is only 2 weeks away but I really didn't feel like I missed out by having an healthy option. I felt so stuffed so it proved that I don't really need to order nann bread, sag aloo and onion bhajis as well as a curry. I am just being greedy! It was a fairly quiet evening as the boys had gone out the night before and didn't get home till 4am! On a Thursday! They were all feeling a bit delicate so we just finished off the night with a few drinks down the pub.

I am off out to a house party tonight as a few of my friends are off travelling on the 1st and one of their mum's is throwing them a going away party. One of them, my boyfriend's best friend, I have known since I was 16 so it will be very strange going on a night out and him not being there. I would never admit this to him but I think I will quite miss him. He is always constantly there whenever I go out. I know my boyfriend will be pining for him haha! It should be a really good get together tonight and I have got my bottles of cider ready!

I was very lucky to win Jennie's giveaway. I won some gorgeous Sawyer and Scout bracelets. I wore them down the pub on Thursday to show them off :) Thank you so much, I love them! The owl bracelet has to be my favourite.

Yuki A/W Press Event

I was lucky enough to be invited along to Yuki's press event (my first one as a blogger and not a journalist!!) where they showcased their A/W collection. I have to admit I have never brought anything from Yuki but I have seen the label numerous times in the flagship Topshop and admired from afar. They really have some beautiful things coming out, I especially adore the sheer shirts. Autumn features my favourite colour palette and Yuki didn't disappoint. Their clothing was a mixture of rust, olive, navy and cream.I love these three blouses. They would go perfectly with a pair of skinny jeans and skyscraper heels. I don't think I could ever tire of pussy bows.We all know I am a dress girl. They hide an multitude of sins, perfect for bottom heavy ladies like myself! The second dress is my favourite. As soon as I spotted it it just screamed Ascot to me. It will look perfect with nude heels and a matching nude clutch bag. My butterfly fascinator will help to finish it off.

Just look at all these gorgeous clothes!
We were treated very well as you can see! I can safely say that the cupcakes were delish. Thank you ever so much for inviting me Yuki, I had a lovely time nosing about and loved my goodie bag. It came with a free dress, I felt very spoilt!

I want to buy you something but I don't have any money

Outfit:
Brown t-shirt - Primark
Cream 3/4 cardigan - Primark
Cranberry lace skirt with belt - Primark
Nude court shoes- Primark

Walking advertisement for Primark!

This is another work outfit that I have found pictures of. I really like the colours in this, feels so autumn/winter which is my favourite season. Sunshine is overrated. I think I will just add brown tights to cover up the knobbly knees when it starts to get colder. The skirt was a bargain £12, I love it when things don't look like Primark. I think this has a River Island look about it? I really do not know what I will do when these shoes fall apart, kicking myself for not buying a few pairs. They are the perfect work shoes, go with everything!

Off to Clacton in a little while, in fact I should be getting ready... My boyfriend's uncle has a caravan down there and we often go for day trips when his whole family are away on a holiday. Looking forward to some chips by the seafront, I don't think anything else is acceptable if you go to the seaside.

Going to my first wedding reception tonight of people our age. This is really freaking me out as I am 22 but still feel like I am 16! Having been with my boyfriend for nearly 5 years, marriage is frequently mentioned by family members who react in horror when I say thanks but no thanks. At the moment I am more interested in buying my first Mulberry handbag and my boyfriends wants the new Ipad. Maybe this is why we suit?

By the way the title of this post is a Drums song which my boyfriend has decided now belongs to me as it sums me up haha! He knows me so well, I am constantly telling him this! Bring on my first wage packet!

I have so many blogs to comment on and comments to reply too. I will get through them next week I promise, please don't think I am being mean!

Hope you all have a good weekend!
