Lady Bug Says ... Holiday Outfit #5

This is the last of my holiday outfits, worn on my final day and for travelling home.

I hate wearing uncomfortable clothes whilst travelling so I went for the basics, layered so I didn't freeze under the planes air conditioning!

Me and my Sister went to play 'Pooh Sticks' at the river near our house before we left. Yes we are still kids at heart, it is something we have done every year that we have been there and we weren't about to break tradition!

Lady Bug Says ... Holiday Outfit #4

Evening :)

This has to be my favourite outfit from my little break away, mainly because I finally got to wear my bargain charity shop dress but also because I almost look like I have a tan. Sadly it is all courtesy of Ambre Solaire and not from actually catching many rays!

I picked this dress up for a bargain price of £3 in one of my favourite charity shops. The label reads 'Etincelle - Made in Paris' so it was a perfect dress for a meal on our last night. I was drawn to the flattering shape and the quirky cut out detail, it kind of reminds me a little of the Topshop cut out dress that was doing the rounds a dew months ago.

I picked up these flatform sandals from the teen section in New Look after seeing them on Katie's blog - Caught Up In Cake and realising they were the perfect 'everyday' heels I had been on the hunt for. Let's hope the weather here gets a bit better so I get some more wear out of them!

Lady Bug Says ... Holiday Outfit #3

Evening :)

I am currently blogging with a worn out puppy sleeping on my feet, they work really well as furry feet warmers!

Another holiday outfit, this one is from a cloudy but fairly warm day when we went to ride jet skis in an old quarry, terrifying but kind of fun! I got off half way through so my poor sister could have a go without me screaming in her ear to slow down!

I also kind of wish I could take outfit photos with this backdrop all the time, so much prettier than my garden!

Lady Bug Says ... Daisy Dog!

Everyone, meet Daisy!

This little fluff ball has been home for less than 24 hours but she already has us well and truly wrapped around her little waggy tail!

She has a bit of a thing for feet.

Enjoys a good nap.

And chewing on her toys.

If you overlook the using the kitchen floor as a toilet and nibbling on anything and everything she is pretty much perfect!

I will apologise now for my Instagram turning into Puppygram!

Lady Bug Says ... Holiday Outfit #2

Evening :)

Another holiday outfit post, I am scheduling a few of these as I don't think I will have much time over the next week or so, as we will be bringing a new addition home tomorrow! A gorgeous little yellow Labrador will soon be running around (and possibly destroying!) my house!

On to the outfit, this time from a slightly warmer day. We had a few hours of sunshine in the afternoon so decided to visit a gorgeous local town for a spot of shopping and a few drinks in the town square.
