Day 27 - Shorts I like these, they're perfect for work. The white shirt makes them even more worky (I know there is no such word but there should be). Socks was determined to get into this outfit post - either that or he wanted me to stop taking photographs and feed him... Day 28 - Rain forecast The perfect excuse to dig out my, so far...
WIA Day 26 - The second of four skirts... I wore this skirt for two weddings in 2008 but not once since then. I removed the netting, which made no difference to the look of it but it did fee lighter to wear (and a little less scratchy). I'm not normally a tucked in person but the combination of neutral stripes with orange...
'They're Real! lengthens, curls, volumizes, lifts and separates' Last week I arrived home to find the newest addition to the Benefit family - They're Real - beyond belief mascara - waiting for me. Having watched a YouTube video praising it, I knew I had to try it. I placed my order and waited patiently (I wasn't so excited that I'd pay for next day delivery!). The wand...
Once again I've been spending (a lot of, probably too much) time on eBay. I had another last minute bargain win on a statement necklace. I can't wait to style it... ... but most importantly I found a chair! I posted about this chair last week. It was out of stock on the website so I contacted BHS to see when it would...
Hello! Day 22 and I'm running out of 'long bottoms'. To be exact I have 8 bottoms (skirts and shorts - nothing long!), 25 tops and 14 dresses remaining in my WIA challenge. It looks like I'm going to have to brave the weather, crack out the fake tan and bare my little ole leggies. I love this DP maxi skirt (a keeper,...
a joy to behold
A Joy to Behold - Brian Atwood Cohen Borchie Studded Shoe Boots
Wednesday, August 17, 2011
source Rachel Bilson rocked these beauties at the Teen Choice Awards teaming them with a white Chloe dress. I adore RB. I adore these boots. I adore Brian Atwood. That is all. Love ...
Day 21 of WIA and I'm joining Inspiration Monday over at Two Birds. WIA days 19 and 20 were spent in decorating clothes or pyjamas so no outfit pics. The inspiration this week it's Karolina Kurkova. I have to admit I have no idea who she is. *Googles it* She's a former Victoria's Secret model. Just in case you're wondering, I'm the one...
Day 17 and Tink makes her first WIA appearance (Socks is just out of shot and looking disgruntled). I'm keeping this dress with a promise to wear it more often. I'm amazed that I have so many dresses (approx 20) when I so rarely wear them. Dress - ASOS / leggings - H&M / ballet pumps - Primark Just to go off topic for a...
Hoping and wishing... That this Seville Chair from BHS will be back in stock soon and not sold out for good. It will look superb with my dressing table which belonged to OH's Great Grandmother. Stamping... When I saw this address stamp on Not On The High Street I knew I'd have to get one for our new home. We plan to be...
Wearing It All Day 16 Mixing prints for Everybody, Everywear? That's a no-brainer for me - stripes and florals. With the exception of one dress florals, for me, come in the form of scarves. Stripey tops are plentiful. Today I'm wearing my favourite jeans, yes - the ones that I stuck to my leg with super glue. This may be the last time...
Have you ever had one of those days that starts bad and just doesn't improve? That was my day yesterday. It started with my girl cat, Tink, getting stuck behind the washing machine, I couldn't free her and got myself into a complete state of panic and frustration. OH had to come to the rescue (my hero) but from that point the day just didn't...
a wardrobe challenge
Wearing It All… Day 10 and Bloggers Do It Better: Arm Party!
Wednesday, August 03, 2011
I have been really looking forward to this Bloggers Do It Better challenge, I actually sat down last night and planned my bangles for today like an over excited six year old! It was half an hour of pure escapism. As for my outfit today, it's pretty simple - wide leg jeans (keep) and grey t-shirt (keep) and clogs. The clutch bag that...
I had no idea what to put on this morning. Do you ever get days like that? This dress doesn't look much in this pic, it is a lovely fluid material with HUGE pockets on either side and buttons down the back. Looking at the photo I decided to add a necklace and another bangle. Socks patiently looked on from above. And then...
Monday morning again. I have to admit to being a little lazy over the weekend. I think I have decorating fatigue, I just had no inclination to pick up a paintbrush, so my wardrobe remains unfinished... On Friday I decided it was time to wear one of my dresses before I ran out of jeans and was left with no option. This maxi...
