OMCZ Challenge #7 - Geek Chic



Hi Everyone,

I'm writing from the past..... while you are reading this I will still be laying on a beach somewhere with my Pina Colada in one hand a book in the other while Mr M feeds me grapes and fans me (ha ha, the reality is I will probably be nursing a hangover from the all inclusive bar) .
So anyway I thought I better get prepared and schedule this and then I can catch up with everything when I get back at the weekend.

So, its that time again for the latest OMCZ challenge.

 This weeks challenge setter was: Gail from http://www.gailygumdrops.blogspot.ie

Challenge: Geek Chic
Thick framed glasses, satchels, video game related stuff.

Hmmm this one proved be a tricky one for me as I don't own any video game related stuff I don't even own a games console, the closest to a video game for me is my unhealthy obsession with Candy Crush, I don't own a satchel or cartoon print other than my PJ's. Maybe I should have just worn them. lol.
No No, I'm going to rise to the challenge and do my own interpretation of Geek Chic with the resources I have.
So, in short, I'm wearing Mr M's Captain America top, Denim shirt AND.... a big challenge for me SHORTS.


Shorts are a big no no for me, but actually when I wore them for this challenge with tights they didn't look bad at all (I think anyway)




I love the way these challenges really do push the boundaries and make you think about an outfit that you wouldn't ordinarily wear but when you do you think 'ooooh I actually look alright'


Outfit:
Denim Shirt: So Fabulous @ Very
Captain America T-Shirt: Mr M's - think it was from Tesco's
Shorts: Simply Be
Tight & Ballet Pumps: George @ Asda
Glasses: Ummm don't know, old pair from fancy dress


 Thanks to Gail for setting this challenge it was really good fun and has helped me
A) Release my inner Geek
B) Eliminate my fear of shorts

Now..... Please excuse me I have a game of Candy Crush to finish......

OMCZ Challenge #6 - Neon





Hi Everyone,

Its that time again for the latest OMCZ challenge.

This week the challenge is slightly different, we are all taking turns in setting them for each other.
This weeks challenge setter was:
Steph from http://www.seeingsp0ts.blogspot.co.uk

Neon
Your choice, be it clothing, accessories, make up. 
At least 1 neon colour but the more the merrier.

Well today I decided on a really old Neon Pink top of mine from River Island, I usually wear it for bed but hey ho, for the purposes of a challenge I've revived it for normal wear.

Also the first showing on the blog of my new haircut, I've had a good 5 inches cut from my hair just over a week ago now. I love it, my head feels so light now. Nothing like a new 'do' to make you feel better. I'm going lighter over the next few months, going to do it gradually so look out for a more 'Blonder Em' in the coming months.

Anyhoo you may have also noticed my little special guest also sporting his Neon Green bandana.
Yep its my lil Harvey.

Harvey & Me


Love my lil Harveypoo

He looks so cool in his bandana


Old Oversized Neon and a smile in the sun.

Outfit:
Top: River Island
Black Hareem Trousers: New Look
Gold Sandals: Next
Sunglasses: Primark

Outside My Comfort Zone Challenge 4 - Orange / Floral / Bright Lipstick




Hi Everyone,

Two posts in one day, I'm really spoiling you ;)

I'm a bit behind on this post as some of you may know my nan has been really poorly. 
She seems to be on the mend and fingers crossed all will be OK.

So, tonight I finally got around to the challenge that Rachel at HappynessMagnet set.

This weeks challenge was: Orange / Floral / Bright Lipstick




I'm already quite a fan of orange 
This particular orange blouse is an old one from Primark along with an old New Look Vest top.


The pyjama floral trousers are from Simply Be I got them a little while ago and and have been waiting for an excuse to wear them.
I wore them for the first time over the weekend when we had that teeny bit of sun and I really can't wait for the summer now to show them off properly.

 Floral print trousers are a big deal this summer and I have already invested in a few different pairs which no doubt will be appearing on the blog at various points and will be in my suitcase in 5 weeks when we go to Majorca, yippie!!!






As for bright lippie, no problem.... Bright Lips are my favourite, this shade is 'Passionfruit' from Collection 2000, its a shimmery coral colour to accompany the blouse.




My necklace is a little bargain that I picked up from a local charity shop for £2, I jazzed it up with some glittery nail varnish and I'm really pleased with the result.
