Biker Jacket Pt 2: Girly Dress

You guys responded so amazingly to Part 1 last week, that i couldn't wait to share the next :

Part Two: Biker Jacket meets Girlie Dress

So i've had this pretty little butterfly dress since well before Christmas (possibly November:-/) and it just hung there for a long time a bit lonely and a bit sad. When the biker jacket arrived, i draped it over the same coat hanger as the dress and thenceforth an outfit was born. So a simple lack of coat hangers can sometimes be a blessing....

 I love how a girlie dress can be given that edgier look with a Biker jacket, its whimiscal print is toned down with leather and studs and zips and boots. I have no problem with super girly (as you probably already know!) But i do like to dabble with other styles and this one hits the nail on the head for me, i get my hit of pretty dresses and adds a different flavour to my normal style.

 Well we have had a very quiet and chilled weekend, which was just what was needed after an extremely stressful week. There's been lots of reading, sitting around doing nothing and eating.. blissful i tell ya!
I'm off to go do some more reading I've just finished Marian Keyes latest (Mystery of Mercy Close) and  just loaded up on the old kindle Dawn French's latest (Oh Dear Sylvia) and i'm already intrigued and don't want to put it down..

We Are Family...

Hi folks
I am currently in the middle of one of the worst weeks....ever.
Running a business in a recession is the hardest thing i have ever had to do. This all might sound a bit random -sorry.

In these tough times its family that keep you going...

Colourful bunch arent we 

"cccccoooooooooowwwwwwwwws, mooooooooooo"

We are family :)

All i feel like doing right now is wrapping myself in my duvet and hiding from the world. I dont feel like wearing pretty dresses and nice shoes. I want to wear pj's and eat Nutella out of the jar.
The next few weeks may be very hard.
I'm going to try and continue getting up and at least getting dressed each day.
And if you dont see me within a week....send for help, the tracksuit brigade may have gotten me;)

Take care lovelies and really hope to be back with positive news and happy dresses soon.
