Hi all! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I only had the Sunday off so I was very lazy and unsociable, but did manage to fit in a run in my new trainers.

 I must be feeling pretty inspired by the wild west at the moment as all my outfits seem to have a cowgirl style. Case in point: this full skirt teamed with studded western boots and a dishevelled denim jacket...all I need now is to change my surname to Walton and start singing country music!

Saturday just had to be one of the nicest days of the year so far, as I was stuck indoors at work, day-dreaming of barbecues, camping and beach day trips. Luckily I got home early enough to change into some lighter clothes (in this instance, a checked flannel shirt and cut-off denim shorts - teamed with brown chunky-heel ankle boots) and soak up some afternoon/evening sun rays. I also have a camping trip lined up for the bank holiday weekend (possibly Wales) so I have that to look forward to.  

Speaking of holidays...can anyone recommend a great place to stay in Paris? Either a hotel, B&B or just a particular area that's good for doing all the major sightseeing? I'm trying to book a weekend break in June for my 25th birthday, so I need to get it sorted pretty sharpish, but it's not helped by the fact that my broadband keeps on dropping, making it almost impossible to do anything online. Oh well, I'll figure something out. Have a great weekend y'all...xxx

Wishing that the rain would go away and come back another day! I hope the sun comes back soon, but until then I will be wearing lots of different layers to suit this middle-of-the-road weather.

 I just can't get enough of Accessorize's S/S collection. Accessorize always does colourful summer jewellery so well.
