Short Heels and Bows

Dress and Bag from Ebay, Coat from Lipsy, Shoes from Evans, Tights from M&S, Cardigan from Apricot
 




This Lipsy mac is a few years old (and probably a little bit on the small side for me too now) but I absolutely love it and am risking wearing it in this cold weather, I hope I don't have to rush back in and put my winter coat on! Also, these shoes were an absolute bargain in the Evans January Sale, Evans always do such great shoes, boots and bags.  Plus I have wide feet and they cater well for wide feet so I always try them even though it is not a place I can buy clothes from (being a plus size shop).  These ones have a very small heel for me (I usually only do 4 inch and above) and are so comfortable. Mr Bertie hates my massive heels so he loved it when I brought these home :) And yes, I am wearing animal print for the second day in a row, roarrrrrr.

I cannot believe it is Friday, this week has gone so quickly (hurrah). We have another hectic day at work today, but at least it is the weekend after that.  I think Mr Bertie and me are going to have a quiet night in with a DVD again tonight (we are so exciting!). Mr Bertie needs to be up really early in the morning to finish off the shed and I have some things I need to do too, the most exciting thing on my 'to do' list is booking the Valentines weekend away.  I can't wait, I have been looking into it for a couple of weeks now and I think I have found the most perfect place for us.  I just need to start planning my Valentines outfit then, sad I know but hey I love any excuse to get dressed up. 

What is everyone else up to this weekend? 

Ps - I got as far as getting my wool and knitting needles out last night, googled a YouTube tutorial, watched it and then gave up haha. I was just too tired after a long busy day at work. I will try again tomorrow afternoon. I'm determined to knit those cute shorts I posted yesterday, the more I look at them the cuter they get!
