A Bit of Housekeeping...

So i thought i'd just do a bit of housekeeping here on the blog..
Firstly

SPONSOR RACHEL THE HAT

I have been working with some great brands the past few months and will continue this month too.
And thats not to even mention, twitter, IG and posts on Lotus Shoes FB  page also!

If you have any great collaboration ideas or would like to work with me somehow, just let me know i would love to hear from you..

rachelturone(at)gmail(dot)com

And secondly

The other thing i wanted to put to you guys is a vlog.
I love to watch other bloggers vlogs and putting a voice to the face that we all grow to see so regualry.
So i am putting this to you my lovely beautiful readers.

Would you like a vlog?

If yes! do you have any questions for me?
It can be anything at all...
Style related, beauty/makeup, blogging style and photography or even life, marriage and kids, you name it and i shall do my very best to answer it.
I know i have a lot of readers who have been with me for 2 and a half years so if you have any questions from the duration of reading then please ask away. i would love to hear from!!
And if you're a new reader then (hello!) please feel free to ask anything so you can get to know little old me a bit better.
Now the disclaimer: I am in no way shape or form cool, on video i will probably come across like a stammering, babbling English (welsh) person, which is partly true, put a camera infront of me an i may turn in to a bit of a mess.. Natural in front of a camera is something i am not.. so consider yourself well and truly warned (it could be a laugh at least!heehee!!)

So i leave the floor to you lovely ladies..
I can not wait to hear your thoughts!

Love as always

Rachel

Good day world!! How are you?

 I have to say i am feeling in rather good spirits of late. After nearly a week off from work i feel rested and ready to fight the rat race that is life once again. Even Neo has allowed me a couple of sneaky lay -ins the past few days. 9 am sleep-ins feel good! I have also had lots of reading time and watching some great dvds (i'm obsessed with Call The Midwife, have you ever watched it? The 1950's era amaze me!)

  So i have managed a little retail therapy of late. This is the lovely duck print skirt that was on my wish list a couple of weeks back. I had some vouchers from work and this skirt came to mind straight away, surely every #wardrobezoo needs a ducky print skirt, lololol!

 This weekend i also went to the hairdressers and got a lovely hair cut (not that you can see from these pics). It feels wonderful, she took a lot of the bulk and weight out of it and put some choppy layers in, making a lot easier and lighter for me. I've always been rubbish with hair , mine is just so naturally frizzy and blow drying it makes it even more of a bouffant (and not in a good way). I was thinking back to how i coped with out straighteners in my youth... simply put, i don't think i did, haha! I used to tie it back a lot! I remember the first time i used straighteners at the ripe old age of 16, and my hair life changed forever lol! I was able to wear it down and it not be completely a mess, i always had the bump at the back of the head though, which i obviously couldn't reach, but i didn't mind. it was a vast improvement on the frizz-bob that was!

Its amazing what a little hair cut, a bit of retail therapy and some "you time" can do for a girl. As superficial as  it sounds, my spirits are lifted, i feel positive looking forward and i'm thoroughly looking forward to what our future holds. Sorry folks, evidently there are no wise words of wisdom here today, just happy, girlish, thoughts. 

Skirt: This one: River Island

Chambray, cardi & Boots: Next

Coat: Topshop

Hat, Necklace , socks and tights: Matalan 

 Enough of me babbling on, have you had a lovely weekend?  I hope so.

 Are you partial to a bit of girly stereotype goodness?

oh and ps i may have watched this in all its cheesy-happiness a few dozen times too... hes so lovely... and he can dance. I think my hubby had a certain Joseph Gordon-Levitt look about him when he was younger, what d'ya think? haahaa

ok longest "ps"over...

Bye for now lovelies!!
