Dress with a View

 So i'm back in a cemetery again.. this time we were in the local town of Old Llantrisant and the views are just phenomenal at the church here. It really is a wonderful spot. Crazy really, i often crave holidays to gorgeous European destinations to see views just like this, when in actuality i have some pretty spectacular ones right on my door step!

I guess being back in the travel industry has re-sparked my love for travelling. Each day i work in the travel agents i price up holidays and imagine what it would be like to go. Top of my Travel bucket list are Sorrento, Rome and Venice in Italy and Dubrovnik in Croatia. And even though now my not be the ideal time for us to travel ( cos' of moving house, Paul starting a new job, generally starting afresh) i totally can't wait for the day we can jump on a plane and see the world some more.

But for now these views aren't to bad ....

When i was last in travel 7 years ago, i was quite a lucky girl and got to see some amazing places. I've visited Barcelona and many parts of Spain, Paris and other parts of France, Cuba, New York, Dominican Republic to name just a few, and each and everyone i loved.

The nice thing about going away, i always look forward to coming home, sleeping in your own bed in your own home.. it's still the best place to be :)

Polkadotty-Navajo

Polkadotty-navajo, its a thing isn't it? It is now! 

Can you BELIEVE its 4 sleeps tell the big fat man in the red suit makes an apperance?!! Arrrgghh! Where the heck has this year gone? I've read a few blogs lately, reflecting on their past year and it's really got me thinking about 2012 for me too. I think i'll be doing a full reflection post coming up soon ladies. I'm still in utter disbelief that the year is nearly over. Have you had a good year?

 I bought this blouse on ebay for 99p a month or so ago. Man, i love Ebay. This blouse is in the most perfect condition and is so pretty on. I've been wearing it with jeans and jackets as well as skirts, it was a really great piece to add to my wardrobe, and at the price it feels even better!

And the cardigan is another gift from Hubby for my birthday 2 years ago. That man knows me well, he knows i'm like a little old lady who loves her cardi's! This one is like a coatigan. It doesn't get worn as much i'd like, its really thick and warm and you can't wear a coat with it, so it had to be a dry day, which fyi is a rarity in these parts lately. 

Oh and the Minnetonkas which i have been so desperately after but too tight to pay full price are also an awesome Ebay find. I tell ya, i am an ebaying demon! These came and are like brand new for less than a third of the price... yay for a good bargain!

 I didn't realise how short this skirt was until i was out doing the very last of my shopping this morning and with arms laden with lots of last minute Christmas supplies i dropped 3 rolls of wrapping paper. I had to bend over and get them as discreetly as possible, but i wouldn't be surprised if half of Tesco saw tomorrows washing...eek :/

 Cardi: Gift from Paul 2 years ago

Skirt: Matalan

Shoes: Minnetonka : Ebay

Blouse: Ebay: Originally New Look

 The Minnetonkas are so super comfy. They are a bloggers dream aren't they?! I see them on so many bloggers and have loved them from a far. And now i have them they are every bit as comfy as i'd hoped. funny isn't the power of the blogger. I find we really do rub off on each other don't we. I kinda like it, like it's a secret gang,haha! 

Anyway gang, I will be popping back in hopefully before now and the big day, so i shall see you all real soon!!

Ps Tomorrow i shall be dressing up as the Indian from this well known group, with headress and all, and raising money for Breast Cancer.... should be fun!!! Wish me luck! Off to go practice my YMCA actions ;-)
