30 Necklaces in 30 Days - No. 14 + 15 + wedding outfit + plus a cake = busy weekend!

Well this is a mammoth post with lots of piccies! I have had a brilliant weekend, we went to a friends wedding and had a lovely time. I made the wedding cake and got it to the venue in one piece, plus it tasted great too.

I guess first of all I will show you my wedding outfit, this dress is from Monsoon and is a 22 it is sized really well and has a blue tie around the waist which I tied at the back as I thought it spoiled the line at the front. It is really nice to wear and coped with my measurements (I refer you to my blog title!) plus it is a gorgeous floaty satin. It is fully lined and didn't ride up or crease. The shoes are from Next, I bought them last year but never wore them as I was worried they would hurt, well they do but I managed to keep them on for the pictures and they got a few compliments! When the dancing started I changed into my flip flops and partied on through YMCA, the Time Warp, Abba, the Black Eyed Peas and beyond!

Next is my necklace from Saturday, No.14. It was a gift from my parents and is Whitby jet, I have matching earrings but forgot to put them in, doh! This is a great shot of my glasses too, they are by Prada and I love them to bits!

OK onwards to the cake, it is a four tiered honey and beer fruit cake, with sugar roses, lilies and drapes.




Next necklace no. 15 no wide shot today as I managed to leave it too late and the light is terrible, this top is actually bright pink and not salmon as it looks in this photo. This was a secret Santa present last year, I still have no idea who it is from but I think it is a Sainsburys one (the label was Tu which is sainsbos) Just goes to show how well the folks at work know me.

30 Necklaces in 30 Days - No.13

Well I have finished the cake now, I'm tired and my house looks like a bombs hit it but I am very satisfied with the result. I will post pictures on sunday after the wedding. I am looking forward to wearing a lovely dress I bought in the Monsoon sale, will also post outfit pics but probably on Sunday. In other happenings I went to pay the deposit for my works christmas party today August and I've already finalised the christmas party- crazy! How about you ladies have you sorted out your christmas parties yet? Anyone planning anything exciting?

Ah well I guess I had better post a necklace, I didn't realise how tough it would be blogging every day, but I'm determined to get to 30! so onwards!

30 Necklaces in 30 Days - No. 11

Again this evening will be full of cake decorating so here is another very quick post of no. 11. These are from H&M, I think these beads are great they have a smokey finish and go with black things really well.

Once again apologies for the bad photo quality, I'm a tired bunny at the moment. Hopefully I will get the cake finished tonight so I can go into town tomorrow night after work, I am going to push the boat out and buy some nail polish to go with my dress for the wedding that I'm going to on Saturday, cant wait to blog my dress its lurvley! Happy Wednesday!

30 Necklaces in 30 Days - No. 9

Well Monday seems to have come around quickly again. Today I have done some more towards organising my works Christmas party! Only a few short months until we all start worrying about outfits!

So aside from festive musings, here is No. 9. The other half is getting creative over taking photos, so this one is in one of his favourite places- bed! Today was a gold and black combo, this necklace was from e-bay and makes a strange noise when it rubs together but I love how it looks, plus its doubled up here so can be worn extra long too! The littler belt is from Evans (In the sale) and fastens with poppers at the back.

30 Necklaces in 30 Days - No. 8

Today has been an indoors kind of a day, I have been mostly cake decorating so I popped on a little necklace. This is actually not plastic! It is one of my most beautiful necklaces, it was a present from my boyfriends mum and is Australian opal. I love the way it is blue against my skin and amber up against the light. Anyway I'm going to finish watching Sherlock now!
