WOWIE!!

Hello All!

I feel like it's been a while again since I last blogged, I always have such good intentions to blog most days, and then before I know it, the day has passed and I haven't even written a word.
But even though I haven't been blogging, I've still been reading all the lovely blogs I follow.

Last week I was over at Cheryl's blog just fab blogger and the lovely lady has only gone and given me an award! YAY me! :) I was so chuffed as I have really enjoyed blogging since I started a few months back.
So here they are in all their spectacular glory:

Awww aren't they pretty!!
Along with these little beauties I have to tell you 7 things about myself and then pass them on to 10 other lovely blogs.
So here goes:
1. I'm married to my lovely hubby, we've been together 5 years and married for a year and a half and he is 14 years older than me, but he's a big kid.
2. I am the Finance Director of our business SMS. I never dreamt in a million years my career would go this way and I would be in the CCTV industry running a £1.2million turn over company.
3. I won Young Entrepreneur of the year in South Wales
4. My sister, Rhiannon is my best friend, we fought like cat and dog growing up, but now we're sooo close. We speak probably 5 times a day and could still have things to talk about.
5.My favourite colour is green, but I hardly own any green clothes.
6. My favourite disney film is Up. (Squirrel!!) And my fav films are The Matrix trilogy (hence why my son is called Neo!)
7. I have a very short attention span, I've wandered off about 5 times since writing this. I get distracted easily!

Wow, I could have gone on and on then! lol, Can't shut me up once I get started!

The 10 lovely blogs I would like to pass these on to are:
1. http://www.lovenikkih.com/
2.http://fashionistas-anonymous.blogspot.com/
3.http://www.girlnextdoorfashion.net/
4.http://girlandbird.blogspot.com/

That was actually more difficult than my 7 things as I follow so many amazing and varied blogs!

Been a busy old weekend/ week as we are off with the kids  and we have been trying to fill the days with fun. Fun for them, not so much for the parents. But it has been lovely.

Skirt: Vintage 1970's from ebay £6.00

Crochet Shrug: Warehouse, old

Sandals: Matalan, last summer

Wooden necklace: Primark

A lovely day in the park! The vintage skirt I'm wearing is just lovely, it's amazing, the quality of the cotton is so much better/ thicker than today's standards. I love wearing vintage, it always makes me wonder who wore it and where. Looking forward to wearing this through the autumn/ winter with thick tights and boots and wooly knitted cardigans.

Here's a few snaps from the week so far:

looks just like when i brought him home from the hosp, except bigger, a lot bigger!

Hope you're having a fabulous week so far!

Apologies in advance....

I'm feeling rather rubbish today. The world was lucky I got out of my pj's this morning. It's been a funny old week and I'm tired(er than usual). Do you ever have those days when you truly can't be bothered? When you don't feel like making any sort of effort? Am I alone? Possible the worst "fashion" blogger ever though lol!
But life goes on, I get dressed, minimal was the look all round today. Minimal hair, make up, accessories and you get the gist.

Teething bling bracelet, for babies to chew on. Sold here:
Little Tots Baby Shop

All of this outfit is old. Old shoes old dress, old cardigan. Simple simple simple.

I went through a few of the photos and didn't like any of them. Not-a-one! So these are the scrapings of the barrel so to speak.

I hope to be back tomorrow with better photos and outfits. I have now got a week off from work, wooohoo!! But in this day and age I just don't ever seem to switch off, with emails on your phone and work colleagues having your number, the work never stops. I could turn the thing off, but that seems strange, and I do wonder if I'd perhaps go cold turkey.

Here's a few pics from our day at a country park recently:

haha

Girlies

My boys 

I see you

My handsome boy, 1year old in 2 weeks!!

strawberries and rasperries equals jam!

cuddles before bed (daddy also tied after the 5.59am wake up call)

Well welcome to the weekend everyone! I'm hopping to cheer up and have a fabulous one. Wishing you all a fabulous one too!!

What a lovely day

Today I returned with my sister to our home town of Barry Island.
The home of one half of:

Gavin and Stacey

Today's outfit was:

All old, apart from moccasins from New Look.

Umbrella: Vintage

Neckscarf: New York 6 years ago

When I started blogging a mere few months ago, I wrote about my love for a denim shirt dress and how it is my "go to" item. Here is an example. I needed an outfit, I went to this trusty little number and changed it up a bit with the below bits and pieces.

Here's a little look at today:

Neo looovvess strawberries

Maddy my eldest niece and my handsome step son Talyn, with their tubs of chips

classic chips with lashings of salt & vinegar

Lillie pickle waiting patiently for a chip :)

A ride on the tea cups

Hook a duck, prize every time!

It was lovely to be back visiting my old home town. We were on the parade eating chips in tubs and the kids played peacefully and merrily around us.  It reminded me of days gone by where it was my sister and I running around and licking our 99 ice-creams.
Then later on the heavens opened and we had to make a quick departure and fled towards our cars.
Just one if those beautiful days of happiness....Off to go snuggle with my hubby, he's jealous, He thinks I love my blog more than him(close call ;)

 Hope your Monday was filled with muchos muchos happiness too!
