Journey to Wifehood #9

Wedding Fund...

Hello. I can't believe there is just under two weeks until the wedding, its crazy! I'm getting so excited but there is still so much left to do and its all the little small things that are driving me crazy right now. I took a peek at my diary for the week before the wedding and almost died, everyday there's something happening! Last weekend for the Bank Holiday me and Ian decided to finally smash our wedding jar.

 My mum bought me this beautiful savings jar last Summer and its been great way to save any bits of loose change or extra cash. Its so pretty I felt bad breaking into it but we managed to save in total £90.01!  We have decided to do our own Pix 'n' Mix table so the money will pay for that. I've saved all the broken pieces of the jar to put into my wedding memory box.

Its been a while since I've last updated you all on my to do list but I've manged to cross of a few more things. My Nannan and Ian bought me my jewellery which looks gorgeous. Me and Ian have got the music all sorted. We have chosen Your Song by Ellie Goulding for our first dance and some of Ian's musically talented friends have recorded a lovely instrumental version of Song Bird by Eva Cassidy for our ceremony. 

Now we have decided to have a sweet table we need to stock up on sweets and get some extra decorations organised, another trip to The Range it is! I really want to do some activity sheets for the younger children so they can be entertained. I've seen some lovely ideas on Pinterest. An I Spy game where the guest can work down a list of things to shoot using a disposable camera and also some best wishes tags the guest can filled out to be put into the guest book which are really cute. I'm going to be so busy creating these on the computer!

1 week, 5 days, 16 hours and 27 minuets! Panic mode!

Hello Summer!

Hello. So its not quite Summer just yet but it does sure feel like it. I honestly can't get enough of the sun. As much as I love Winter for the pretty snow and hot chocolate I feel so much happier in the Summer time! I've recently been shopping like crazy, abusing my bank account and revamping my wardrobe for Summer with lots of bright colours. 

Spiked Statement Necklace - Forever 21 £4.90

Irregular Hem Tank Top - Zara £9.99

Atmosphere Stripped Maxi Skirt - Primark £10

Opia Link & Spiked Bracelets - Primark £3

S/S 2013 Collection Mini Shopper - Zara £22.99 

Atmosphere Studded Gladiator Sandals - Primark £8

---

Atmosphere Vest Top - Primark 

Skinny Fit Jeans - Hollister 

Opia Rings - Primark

I adore my new orange mini shopper from Zara, its such a lovely colour and just the right size for carrying around all my bits and bobs. I've started shopping in Zara more and more, the prices aren't too expensive and they have a great range. The stripped maxi skirt from Primark is the first one I have ever bought. I am quite short at 5ft 3" (I've actually got shorter as I've got older!) and I always thought wearing a maxi skirt would make me look ever so short but its actually made me look taller. I made my first ever Forever 21 purchase from their website and bought the gold spiked statement necklace as well as some shoes and two vest tops which I will try and fit into an outfit posts at some point. 

Have you gone for bright colours now the sun is shining? Been revamping your wardrobe for Summer?

Mavala Nail Color Cream

Hello. How great is the weather? After wearing dark colours for what feels like forever through the Autumn and Winter I'm loving bright colours at the moment! My wardrobe has defiantly got brighter so why not have vibrant nails to match too? 

Mavala Nail Color Cream (298 Graphic) - Debenhams £4.55

I've never really be a girly girl into pinks but Graphic is such a bright shade of pink with some gorgeous subtle shimmer. I got my first Mavala nail polish in the Latest in Beauty Advent Calendar Ian bought me for Christmas. Behind the first door of my calendar was a Mavala nail color in shade 385 Rouge Rubis, a very festive red! Mavala nail colours are not too expensive either at around £4 to £5 which is cheaper than Essie, OPI and Nails Inc for the same top quality polish. I got a good few days wear out of my colour before it showed any signs of chipping. 

What do you think to Graphic? Have you tired any of the Mavala nail colors?
