Something to Shade from...

Okay so I really feel like I need a treat! Every year around this time I treat myself to a gorgeous pair of sunglasses! This year however I decided that I was not going to buy myself a pair and instead would wear the gorgeous Dior one's I bought last year which are pretty classic to be fair and still look great! That was until I saw these beautiful Dior sunglasses in Belfast last month.
I tried them on and they looked great and well the palpitations started and I have been thinking of them ever since! I was very proud that I managed to walk away! I had sort of made an agreement with myself that if I did buy a pair of sunnies this year that they would be a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers because lets face it they are the ultimate in cool! Then about two weeks ago I spotted these gorgeous Ray-Bans which are part of the Ray-Ban Rare Prints collection. They are so sh*t cool and are so young and fun. I'd like to imagine myself wearing them to all of this summers festivals but lets face it I'll be buying a Penny's copy for €3 and wearing them instead! But I could see me wearing them to death this summer! To be fair if we get the weather I'd wear both of them to death this summer! I don't know which ones to get, so please help me out and give your opinions! I need a splurge to feel better! (",)_SequinsandBangles_xx

To Netbook or not to Netbook...

So that's the question! (",) Having a broken collarbone has just proved to me how much I need to get a new netbook! I was torn between the gorgeous HP x Vivienne Tam "Butterfly Lover's" clutch or the super cute and so pretty in pink, purple and white Dell Mini 10 laptop. I have been thinking of getting one of the above since I got back into blogging, and now I definitely need one seeing as I can only use one arm and sitting in front of my computer is so painful right now :( How amazing would it be to blog from my bed with a lovely light laptop! That is where I have been spending most of my time over the past week and it's where I predict I will be spending most of the next 5 weeks! I think I have watched most of my DVD collection at this stage!
So it was while watching Sex and the City I remembered how much I loved this outfit. Carrie wears it when she is returning books to the public library and realises you can get married there! Anyhu before my terrible tumble I had been on the hunt for the perfect military inspired vest/ cute short jacket. Right now the waistcoat would be the comfiest option for moi! And this is how I would wear it!
God I can ramble!! That actually took me ages to type with one hand :) Has anyone seen any cute strapless tops in store?? It's all I can wear right now with this crazy ass brace and they are so freakin hard to find! Any advice would be sooooo appreciated! Thanks guys!! Much Love (",)_SequinsandBangles_xx
