New Threads
I indulged in a little bit of retail therapy yesterday and thought I’d share the results 
My bestfriends Sarah & Sean had their first baby last week, a gorgeous little girl who they have named Rosa. I’m going to meet her soon & couldn’t resist picking up a few cute outfits.
I’m pretty sure she’ll be drowning in pink so I went for oranges, yellows and greens.
First up are 2 cute summer romper suits with frilly capped sleeves and a staple white knitted cardigan with flower applique from Asda.
And from Okaidi a unbelievably cute pair of lightweight denim dungarees, complete with little matching top, hat & socks featuring apples & oranges. I also got her a beautiful side fastening white summer coat. How cute is the print?!!
After completing the baby shopping and unleashing yet another bout of broodiness I decided to pick myself up a few pieces of casual/ comfy wear. I have quite a few smart pairs of jeans, tops and dresses now but I’ve been lacking a bit in outfits I can just throw on for those lazy summer days.
My first purchase was this full circle cotton skirt from Primark. I really like the ethnic print and think it will look lovely with a cream or black vest and gladiator sandals.
T-shirts featuring tigers are all over the glossies at the moment, so when I spied this over-sized tee in Asda I just had to have it. I got the grey stonewash denim effect leggings in Asda too, not everyones cup of tea but I <3 them.
My favourite purchase has to be these two items though, the stretchy flower print top is actually a dress but I will wear it with leggings underneath. I am totally digging the return of the scoop neck, the back actually scoops really low too which I love. I think baring the back can be more sexy than getting the cleavage out.
The coral cardigan is lightweight & doesn’t add bulk, perfect for those summer evenings sitting out back with a glass of chilled wine
Both of these items are from a budget clothing store called Exhibit, I’m unsure if they exist in England, however I think they get their stock from the same place as boohoo.com as I’ve noticed a lot of the same pieces.
Finally, I couldn’t resist this totally trashy cropped bat wing sweater. Perfect for my walks. I adore cropped sweaters, they make me feel all FAME!
Hope everyone’s having a good week, sun is still shining here :-O

Love, love that skirt. Primark is one of those places I hate because you really have to trawl through and the queues are always massive. I forced myself to go to the one in Oxford Street earlier in the year and even though I had to wait for almost 40 minutes to pay, it ended up being worth it for the stuff I got – its brilliant for tops to wear in the office!

@Gemma Ahhhh gotta love Pay Day!!!

@Ashley I hope they love it all as much as I do, I just can’t wait to meet her!! xx
@Beth Luckily our little Primark in Newtownards is never really busy. I was literally shell shocked when I went to the one in Oxford Street, absolutely mental! But as you say its worth the pushing/ shoving/ hoking and queuing when they’re on form
