Emerald Shirt Dress

Shirt dress - River Island ♦ Boots - Hypnotic ♦ Necklace - By Francis Frank ♦ Heart necklace - a gift ♦ Ring - a gift 

 Last weekend was my Mom's birthday (and Mother's Day, coincidentally) and we'd booked a holiday apartment at Whitemead park in the Forest of Dean. Here's what I wore to her special dinner out; this shirt dress is my new favourite thing ever, even if my brother did say it looked like a nightie. What do you think of it?

If my legs are looking a bit bruised and cut up, it's because they are. Whilst we were up there, Jack and I decided to check out the mountain biking trails - well, I guess you can see where this is going. I had a pretty impressive fall off my bike - well it would have been if I hadn't have cried a bit. Humiliating but hilarious. Now that I've skidded off the trail, rolled down a hill and got my hair bobble caught on a fallen tree all at the same time (yes, this really happened), I feel I can do anything. I'm getting a pretty new bike soon so I'll be ready to take on the trails once again. And next time they won't defeat me.Or bruise my arse.

Somebody told me I had swag today. I think that is the first and last time I will ever hear those words again, because I am the least swaggish (is that the correct word?) person I know. In reality, I am the definition of awkward, but I'll take the compliment and pretend I'm not lame for a while. I have been wearing the hell out of the tee ever since it arrived in the post last week; it's just so effortlessly cool. I was in need of a simple basic top to go with my many crazy leggings, but I couldn't resist a quirky slogan. 

I have big news guys - we're getting a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy! I cannot wait to introduce a new puppy brother to the cat family and bring home a cute little cousin for Rudy. 

Any fellow pet lovers out there?

I want to ride my bicycle ... but not in this skirt.

I'm one of those people Facebook moans about - at the first sight of sun, I'm not ashamed to say I dig out my Summer wardrobe. In my defense, it has been pretty warm round my ends, so I felt the need to show the world my pale little legs. I probably should have taken the pictures outside in the natural light but as you know, I leave taking my OOTD photos last minute. I'm such a bad blogger, but my boyfriend has a beard, does that make up for it? I read in Company magazine that you can't call yourself a blogger unless your man is your photographer and has an impressive furry face. One point to Alice, right?

I had a bit of an embarrassing moment today. I'm on the lookout for a new bike for mountain biking so I travelled up to Halfords to take a look. The guy at the store was really helpful, however it got a bit awkward when I had to sit on the seat of two bikes to gage my frame size - in this skirt. I was extremely careful so hopefully he didn't get an eyeful of something he shouldn't but only he knows for sure... I really don't dress practically at all. 

I'm wearing my Valentines necklace! I love how it layers up with my everyday heart necklace, it's hard to find jewellery that doesn't fit over the top of it so this is perfect. Check out By Francis Frank, their gemstone accessories are so unique!
