Outfit wise I had planned to wear a frock on Saturday night, but absolutely crazy weather put an ... http://dressjunkie.com/2010/08/23/hands-up-if/ I went into town today to buy a bra. I came out with..... a Winter coat    Sometimes I surprise even myself... It's from the Top of the Shops (Topshop for the slow ones...) and cost 80 smackaroonies.

I honestly don't know where this week has gone. ......Sunday to Tuesday was spent in Dublin with Matt to celebrate our fantastical 2nd Wedding Anniversary, after that it's all a bit vague. So vague I thought today was Thursday... which it clearly isn't... Ho hum Friday ... http://dressjunkie.com/2010/08/06/shake-it-all-about/ I've got it all under control.... Oh yes, this week I'm in a "can do" mood. Terribly irritating for everyone around me but excellent for the Monica Geller that was in hibernation deep within.

The hardest kind to dress appropriately for. I settled on a bandeau playsuit with a cardy over the top which meant that when I got too warm I could just whip it off and pop ... http://dressjunkie.com/2010/07/24/ootd-8/ I had the wantsies for a Sydney Evan Disc Necklace as worn by the lovely Lorraine Stanick but what I didn't have the wantsies for was parting with $1020 to get it. Eeek! I searched everywhere for a cheap dupe online, but I just couldn't find one that was big enough/ ... http://dressjunkie.com/2010/07/23/diy/ One of Matt's mates came up with this cute little hash tag yesterday on Twitter and I thought I'd take it blog side!

I wore it last week with a waist cincher belt and ... http://dressjunkie.com/2010/07/15/ootd-7/ Well it's a bargain if you happen to like Uggs. If not... move along... nothing to see here ;) Now this isn't perhaps the most seasonally appropriate post, what with it being July and apparently the British Summer Time. However unlike the mainland, us Northern Irelanders aren't experiencing this fabulously warm ... http://dressjunkie.com/2010/07/13/bargain-alert/ Now THIS is my kinda highlighter! *pushes Stereo Rose MSF to the back of the drawer* I give you the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Beach.

The family and I went on a Royal Caribbean Cruise of the Italian Mediterranean .... well ... http://dressjunkie.com/2010/07/06/clocking-on/ I'm not a Crocs fan myself, especially when they're paired with tracksuit bottoms (an all too often sight in Belfast)....

My immediate thoughts on reading this were: LOL Nothing to do with regular Botox injected all over your face then? however they were promptly followed ... http://dressjunkie.com/2010/05/25/baaaaa/ I've been lusting after Lorraine Stanick's Sydney Evan "Love Ring" for the past few weeks now. Image from http://thecurrentcustom.blogspot.com/ I'm pretty sure that I'm not alone in this particular lemming, but I simply can't afford it. It's waaaaaay out of my costume jewellery budget range... which for the record is £30 max ... http://dressjunkie.com/2010/05/19/love-ring/ Not literally I'm afraid. The weather in Northern Ireland doesn't seem to know what to do. One minute it's sunny and the next torrential rain. Ugh. I've taken matters into my own hands (as usual) and I'm forcing Summer into my life by way of bright lips and sun kissed cheeks. Helping me ... http://dressjunkie.com/2010/05/15/here-comes-the-sun-2/ Now I'm not just saying this. I didn't recognise Teddy. The lady disappeared out the back of the grooming parlour and brought this slimline dog hung like a horse out to me. I just stared at her blankly as she proffered me the lead.
