all lace and secret places


I mentioned in my last post that I got a lace cardigan from Primark at the same time as the blue lace top. I think this was £8 again and although I love it, it is very flimsy and I'm scared I won't be able to wear it so much. I quite like it buttoned up as a top, and again I'm wearing my maroon Forever 21 skirt and Primark super cosy tights because I honestly am not feeling very adventurous when it comes to clothing today. 

I spent the day sleeping mostly as I was up all night. If you follow me on twitter you will know that  we had some intruders last night and our street/area subsequently had the police here all night which was less than fun to say the least. I decided to have a day off twitter because I was feeling a bit blah, and a few people took a jokey comment I made last night completely the wrong way. (In a nutshell, someone said I reminded them of Adele, and I joked that since she is significantly larger than me (fact!) it might be time to gym the Christmas weight off. As always on twitter, 140 characters is sometimes taken the wrong way and this turned into me thinking Adele was huge and it wasn't okay to be for her to be the size she is. That is of course, ridiculous, I am the LAST person in the world to think people need to conform to sizes dictated by too-thin-to-have-periods mannequins and fashion campaigns, so I wanted to clear it up. Adele is beautiful, but she is larger than me, just like I'm a lot larger than Nicole Ritchie, its just a fact, and it wouldn't be at all healthy for me, at 5ft 2 to be her weight. Glad I got that out of my system, because I feel like it was taken horribly the wrong way.

I'm off to Lincolnshire tomorrow for a few days to celebrate Matt's birthday and our anniversary. Can't wait to get away for a bit together, I'm taking my new camera lens so hopefully will have some nice snaps for you upon my return. Hope you're all staying safe in the UK with this crazy weather we have been having!

You have no idea how much I want your cardigan!

Your cardi is lovely! Love your photos, they all look great. Sounds like the twitter comment got taken completely the wrong way! I hope your ok now, sounds like you had a scary night last night! Happy bday to matt and have a lovely anniversary! x

I love lace too.
Enjoy Lincolnshire, I'm from there too :-) Fleur was here a few days ago too, our neck of the woods is getting a little famous! haha x

I love that cardigan, I saw a lace top with a peter pan collar today in Zara and thought of you! :) It didn't suit me though so I bought a loosefitted cream top instead that I am now wearing tucked into a bodycon skirt. :) Sorry to hear about your rough night, I can't imagine what I'd do in the situation, probably cry and hide (I'm referring to the intruders, not the Adele thing). x

Not adventurous with clothing? Pft, you look gorgeous! I know how you feel though, though on my 'down days' its jeans and a hoody haha!

I'd wear this outfit in a heartbeat, lovely! x

I've only just seen your tweets, you really did have a horrible night! Hope you're ok Gemma! Don't know what I would do if we had burglars :( and ignore the silly girls on Twitter, you are right, things are too easy to take the wrong way. We know you didn't mean it offensively! xxx

Such a pretty cardi! Have a nice week.

Have fun in Lincolnshire, which area are you going to? I'm from there :) x

You look so pretty !!

I would've thought people that follow you on Twitter, read your blogs and like your stuff. So therefore understand what sort of a person you come across to be, and to me you come across as one of the most genuine, beautiful and friendly people in 'the Youtube & blogging community'. So I guess the people who made a drama out of the 'Adele' situation are just out to cause drama. Ignore them :)

Hi,
