primark frenzy

It's been so sunny today! Us English folk have been waiting long enough for a bit of sunshine, finally got a chance to whip out my new sunglasses. I've literally been working my buttocks off for the last couple of weeks, but I have all my things booked for going to Morocco in just over a couple of weeks! Very exciting stuff. I'm also going to the Ice Bar in London next weekend for one of my oldest friend's 19th birthday party. Struggling to find a dress to wear though, something smart/casual, something hot but classy, tights or no tights? And don't even get me started on shoes. Girls, you all know where I'm coming from. 

As it was beautiful weather and I had a day off, I thought I'd make an effort with my outfit, seeing as I've been wearing my fabulous brown Costa work shirt so much I've missed being able to choose my own clothes. After I changed I realised that pretty much my entire outfit is from Primark (apart from my sunglasses and boots) would you have guessed if I hadn't told you? Budgeting WIN!

harry's place

What's up internetters?

I went down to Brighton the other day as a belated birthday outing for my Mama, we hit up The Lanes first where I discovered this darling shop that sells vintage and reworked clothes called Harry's Place. They have the most awesome pieces for such good prices, and you can even bargain with the seller. I'm feeling a little summer-deprived so I bought a tropical hawaiian shirt for £5, but I was also tempted by the Levi jeans and shorts, varsity jackets, army coats, flannel shirts, knitted jumpers...yeah, so like the entire shop. I'll upload the rest of my purchases from the day on my instagram, so you can check it out if you feel like stalking me ;)

After we worked up a healthy appetite from shopping we went for some lunch, I ate some pork noodles, duck spring rolls, bit of curry, soup, ahhh Thai goodness, it was literally orgasmic. 

Good job I bought that shirt in a Large, I think I put on at least 10lbs after that meal.

Whilst having a clear out of old clothes my sister and I found our Mum's wedding dress so obviously we had to try it on and play princesses.

It's so beautiful, isn't it?!? I feel like I'm in Swan Lake when I'm wearing it with the floaty ribbons on the sleeves and beaded bodice. Only problem is that it restricts arm movement quite a lot, there's no chance of dropping my shapes on the dancefloor in this thing.

After many months of chatting about our manger's wedding, the day finally arrived on Saturday, Hannah McNab is now a Puttock! We scrambled into the church in Eastbourne, (perhaps a tad late after forgetting to pay for a parking ticket at 1pm) just before the bride walked down the aisle. The church itself was small but beautiful with stained glass windows, even without any flowers it was perfect: I learnt that you aren't allowed to decorate the church during Lent, who knew?!?

After the service we attended the evening reception where the Costa team dominated the dancefloor as per usual. I then had my first time experience of a total stranger buying me a drink (in England), I had a shot of Sambuca, classy lady -thank you 40 something year old bald guy!
We were eventually the only people left standing on the dance floor, even the DJ left us to join the rest of the stragglers at the bar. De-heeled and tooties aching but boogieing on until our taxi arrived (aka Ellie's Mum).
I even broke out the worm as it was a special occasion.

just saying.

I love how you can make out my panda phone case in the reflection.

Ninja Panda FTW.
