Outfit of the Night

Hi dolls, hope everyone has had a wonderfully relaxing weekend and perhaps a bit of shopping thrown in! Once again I have not had the chance to blog this week, as predicted in my last blog post, I had a super busy week with a parents evening and revision sessions after school as well as a full days worth of revision this Saturday too! Such is the life of a teacher, especially when exams are just around the corner!

I found the chance to relax yesterday after my revision session, hubby took me out to one of our favourite restaurants, Prezzo, which was really nice. Today I marked the exam papers completed yesterday but also managed to pop to Tesco to pick up some magazines for tonight's relaxation! Anticipating another busy week at work with two exams this week, another Saturday revision day and a final January exam next week! Only four weeks til' half term though... : )

Today's blog post is an outfit of the night from last night when I got the chance to wear my new Mango skirt from last weekends shopping trip.

I wore a simple black top from H & M, my new red Mango skirt, black tights, Red Herring black chelsea style boots, a silver necklace that was a pressie for Christmas and of course my Mulberry bag. I like the way that the bright skirt is the focus of this outfit, I wore it to school one day last week and got lots of compliments : )

Another shot of the outfit with my black Armani exchange coat which I left unbuttoned to keep it a little more casual. The fur collar is cosy and adds a touch of luxe too.

Enjoy your week dolls, I have a feeling I will not be blogging until next weekend again! Need lots of tea and sweeties to get me through the week ahead! : ) XOXO

Limited Collection new season

Hey dolls, hope you are having a lovely week, I can't believe how quickly it has gone, and that its Thursday already tomorrow! I am really enjoying being busy and getting stuck into work again, as much as I enjoy the summer holidays, I do miss my classes and my job (sad I know!) I have so much on this year so I have had to be even more organised than usual, with timetables for all kinds of things, colour coding and labelling of everything to within an inch of its life! Those of you who read my blog regularly know that I am a naturally organised person, so I really enjoy this aspect of my job, and the satisfaction of ticking everything off of my to-do list! I do sometimes wonder how my pupils feel about the OCD part of my personality, as I explain to them in their first lesson at the start of every year how they should fold sheets to be stuck into their book... (my way or the highway!)


Today's post is kind of school related, but linked to my other favourite topic (fashion of course!) too. As I blogged about here, I have been updating my work wardrobe recently, purchasing new dresses, cardigans and shoes. My new shoes were from Marks and Spencer, and while I was there, I had a good look at one of their ranges 'Limited Collection' that I had read quite a lot about in recent weeks. Limited Collection is a younger, edgier range from M & S, and I have to say, I was quite impressed with lots of their pieces. The style and designs are bang on for the new season, and the prices extremely good. As I was with hubby (who was waiting patiently for me to pick shoes so we could go and eat), I did not try anything on, however I plan to go back soon and add a few more items to my work wardrobe.

Button back ruffle swing top £25

Feather print drape pocket skirt £29.50

Sparkle button cardigan with mohair - £35.00

I love this piece - abstract print dress £37.50

Just a few of my favourite pieces, sorry for how tiny they are, stupid M & S website would only allow me to take small copies, and they go all blurry if I make them any larger (there is probably a way around this but I am not enough of a techno-whiz to work it out!)

Let me know what you think, until next time : ) xoxo
