Transitional

Hello Lovely people!


Well it's a funny old time of year, All the shops are luring me in with lovely Autumnal colours and clothes and it appears Wales is having it's few days of summer! This equals a confused recipe for dressing and shopping! I've been buying a few new pieces for the colder months(that most days appear to already be here) and being impatient I want to wear them now*spoilt brat syndrome* However the sun in this country is such a rarity I'll happily grab my Summer dresses with both hands and switch on Summer mode(temporarily i can assure you, give it a few days and I will be sporting coats and wellies yet again)


Hub's and I have date night (Going to see a young lad, don't know if you've heard of him, Harry Potter ??!) 
And I've been looking forward to wearing this little beauty of a dress
For me this is my new No. 1! My new favourite, My new good times dress. Reason being, it is just so easy! I love easy, I'm an easy kinda gal (ahem!) 
It's got sucha a lovely Vintage, boho feel, which is just up my terraced row street (Welcome to The Rhondda Valley!)

Transitional dress:

Paired with my espadrilles (£10 bargain from River Island) and a light weight cardigan(cos my God, the cinema I go to feels like Antarctica, Air Con overload!)

Cardi also great for my BW (bingo wings :o(   )

Necklace, my fav, is Vintage from this amazing place in Cardiff called The Pumphouse (Think of Aladdin's cave and your there)


Dress:Peacocks


I'm looking forward to remixing this with thick navy tights, warm wooly cardi and tan boots for Autumn/ winter.


Today my lil lovely Neo was with his grandparents, he had a wale of a time, at the park, feeding the ducks, picnics.. Very jealous! 

My trendy Pop's in his Aviators, my Neo, now walking 8 whole steps. So funny, he looks like Frankenstein when he walks, with his stompy feet and out-stretched arms. 


Whilst he was with the g-p's, I worked, boring, boring and guess what, more boring.
I did escape for an hour and pick up a fabulous brown cord jacket in the local charity shop for £2! Which was amazing seeing as i was looking for one everywhere last winter!! (pic's to come)
And i also spotted this little beauty

Cute or what! Peacocks again for this little treasure. 
Have you guys got any "transitional" pieces? 


So I'm off now to go and see that film about a wizard, I forget it's name ;o) Anyone else seen it yet? Any good? Or am I going to walk out of there thinking that that's 2 hours of my life I'm not getting back?

Grey Weather, Grey Mood!

The Weather is grey, my mood is grey, my complexion is grey and my outfit should really also match, but I don't own much grey, so I decided to take the advice of Trinny and Susannah. Feeling tired, look a bit worn,(YUP!) then pink will give your complexion an instant lift, it may also lighten your mood.
So I have gone for the pinkest of pinks today:

Shirt from Next.
I felt a bit Miami Vice when I first wore this  my with white jeans, not a look I normally go for, however I did get some nice remarks on what a "perky" colour it was. I also felt like i stood out like a sore thumb, but a pretty sore thumb, so that's ok.


I won't bore you with all the reasons behind my foul mood (Ecomomic climate, famine in Africa, customers not paying their bills!) but I will tell you that yesterday, my day started like this:
Cant find anything to wear
Trusty Wide leg Dark jeans it is,
Iron trusty jeans on floor real quick,
Burn trusty jeans,
Melt carpet,
Break iron,
Sit on floor in huff.


My mood was only lightened by:
Going to Next sale and getting exact said jeans on sale, half price!!

I also wore my fav vintage look-a-like Charm necklace and matching bracelet.

The lady in the garage this morning asked if I had collected these myself and how wonderful it was, I wanted to fib and say "Yes, I've collected them from across the globe" but actually said "No, I bought it for a tenner". She didn't know how to reply and just scanned my chocolate buttons. Think she would have appreciated the fib more.


And finally, in the lunch hour, I went out for my normal un-appetising salad and came back with this:

From Peacocks! They have a fab Hippy Commune trend in at the mo, and some of the items are really lovely! This little beauty hopped of the rail, in to my hands and begged me to take it with me and it promised me it would make me smile. I did, I smiled. Whoever said retail therapy never worked obviously didn't ever have a conversation with a dress before.


And finally i think this photo sums up my mood: He gets me, he felt the same, he didn't want to be up and out early either this morning.

We both wanted to be doing this:

Head buried under Macca Pacca.
And I can't wait till we can both be:

Don't you just love a sleeping baby!!
