Outfit of the Day: Spring in my step with a Cath Kidston dress

Is that spring I sense in the air? I hope so, I'm starting to get a little bit sick of winter tights.

Anywho, with a bit of nice weather my husband and I decided to go for a stroll about town while the gettin' was good.

For said stroll I decided to wear a lovely Cath Kidston tea dress I got from eBay a couple of weeks ago. I've never seen this style of dress before in CK and it was a bit more up my street than the usual tunic style peter pan collar dresses that are really popular.

Of course I bought it second hand for less than half the RRP.

It was super nice to be able to go out without a coat on too! The shoes were from Clarks last year and have lasted surprisingly well for ballet pumps. I was quite impressed. They have a little more cushioning than usual so they don't make me feet ache as much as the cheap ones tend to.





Look at this picture, there are actual SUN RAYS caught on film!



Last but not least is a make up close up (check out part of my fringe with a mind of its own in the wind!). I have been using MAC make up for a while now so managed to save up 6 empty things and I finally tried taking them into the shop to exchange for my free lipstick.

I chose the shade Dangerous as its a bit more of an orange tone than my usual Ruby Woo and I thought it would be nice for spring. It isn't quite as matt as Ruby, but it is pretty matt and it is by far the best orangey red I've ever tried.

What do you think?

Special K freebies and Lush Emotional Brilliance

A bit of a quick post today and a heads up to everyone that loves a freebie!

I visited the Metrocentre in Gateshead today looking for a pair of trainers, but I was briefly distracted when I saw there was a Special K stand giving away free cereal. Now who am I to turn down free cereal?

However that wasn't all! For giving them my email address I was given a free goody bag containing some special K treats, a tshirt but most importantly - a free Maxfactor lipstick in a gorgeous red colour.


How cool is that?!

So if you see the Special K ladies, it is worth it for the free lipstick.

Having said that, I then went on to visit Lush to pick up one of their new Emotional Brilliance and Mascara I had a test with the samples in the shop and have been wearing their mascara since and my eyes still feel light and lovely. This is by no means a review, but so far I have been impressed!
