Dress ♥  Zara

Bag ♥  ASOS

Shoes ♥  Zara via Ebay

First things first, apparently tomorrow is the day that Google Reader will be no more and if Google Friend Connect goes alongside that then please follow me on Bloglovin so you won't miss out on any posts or follow me on Twitter (@Jade_ylntxo) because I usually link them on there as well. If it is gone tomorrow then hopefully I'll see you all on the other side!

The last few weeks have been absolutely mental, first the house which is now 90% sorted and we're all settled in so life was starting to get peaceful again and then tomorrow crept up on me when I'm starting a new-ish job. I say new-ish because the company that I work for is merging with another company so it's not a brand spanking new job, I'll still be walking in the same doors, sitting at the same desk with (most of) the same people around me so it's not as scary as it could be but I still don't have a bloody clue what I'm doing! To bid adieu to our little work family me and my work pal and future sister in law Ria (she is Joel's brothers wife, a little fact for you there!) planned a night of fine dining and cocktails for us all. I got this dress from Zara a good month ago now especially for the occasion, I've been trying to buy bright recently as I realised I was getting a bit dull in the old wardrobe department. I love the colour of this and it has some power shoulders going on. I did think that I'd be able to wear this in the day and dress it down but it's quite a thick, stiff material so I don't know if I could pull it off in the day but it's definitely a contender for nights out from now on. I've wanted a bag this colour since I saw this picture of Lauren Conrad years ago but never found anything until ASOS stepped in and answered my prayers, it was also in the sale when I bought it so that was an added bonus. This was the first time that I'd used this clutch and I love it, it's roomy, has zip pockets and the separate pocket on the front of the bag is detachable, it's a poor mans Mulberry Willow! I finished the outfit off with a splash of leopard print in the form of my favourite shoes of the moment which I originally thought were really comfy but I can confirm that after 3 hours of dancing you will be crippled the next day.

 I hope that you're all making the most of the sun being out!
