The great shorts hunt

I really need to find something to stop me looking at fashion blogs and websites - my list of lust-haves is growing. I managed to get the Sara Berman taffeta prom dress and also treated myself to this cutie by Vaudeville & Burlesque at Urban Outfitters:



The navy chiffon and white satin bib is so cute, but it is made absolutely adorable by little bows on the hips.

Today I treated myself to this dress by Silence & Noise:



I've been looking for a cute day dress for a while - I tend to only buy dresses for nights out, I pretty much live in jeans or jumper dresses and leggings during the day - and I seem to have an obsession with navy at the moment (the colour, not sailors. Although I do like them too.)

I'm now desperately seeking a pair of vintage leather shorts. Not too tight, not too short and preferably cuffed. I tried a few vintage shops in Leeds city centre but none had any in. Will try a few others in Headingley tomorrow. I saw a great pair on ebay in nude leather but they would have been slightly too small. Black would be the most sensible, and easiest, colour to get and yet I really want some nude or pale grey ones. Will have to keep my eyes open.

Apologies

I've been so busy preparing for and attending interviews that I just haven't had time to post anything these last few weeks. Things are quieter now and I promise to post more regularly. Aside from interviews, I've been out for three birthday nights out in the past fortnight - V's at the end of January and then K's and L's the following weekend. It's been a lot of fun and the frivolous side of me has really enjoyed choosing different outfits.

For V's I teamed my pale pink and black Nicola de Main for ASOS shift dress with Emilio Cavallini black tights with white seam and heel and my red patent mary janes. These tights are gorgeous and such a cool way to wear backseams. I love them so much I also bought the red pair with the black seam and bow. Super cute.

For K's I wore my Urban Outfitters Lux pink and black polka dot cowl back prom dress with Jonathan Aston shiny purple tights, an H&M purple cardigan and my black Topshop shoe boots.

The following night, for L's night out, I wore my Johann for Urban Outfitters purple shift dress with Emilio Cavallini 55 denier pale blue tights and Topshop purple shoe boots. These tights come in a lovely range of pastel colours - perfect for spring and a great way to add colour to an outfit if you don't want to go for brights. They're also unbelievably silky and I'll definitely be getting more in other colours - ballet pink, nude and vintage lavender are on my wishlist.

No more birthdays for a while, although I have a couple of gigs coming up - V and I are going to see Sunshine Underground on 19th Feb and the following Tuesday I'm off to London with CMac see We Are Scientists. Yay!
