Red Riding Hood

Hey all... 
Today here in Wales, it is our countries Patron Saint, St. David's day!

Via Google

There's lots of symbols for Wales; Daffodils, Leeks, Harps, Love Spoons. We are quite the bunch!

So wherever you are in the world, Happy St. Davids day from Wales!

To mark the day I've worn a red dress :)

Red Dress & black patent shoes: Clothing at Tesco (dress on sale £7.00!!)

Blouse: New Look

Spring has sprung so it seems!!

We've had some truly beautiful days here

Now this outfit has brought three like minded comments.... School Girl.
Now before i stepped out the door, the thought did occur to me, that yes i do slightly look like i may be going back to school as a mature student.
But as the day went on i started to wonder if i looked a bit, well, silly.
The outfit as a whole i love, but then i started thinking, am i getting a wee bit old to be dressing like this? I mean, im a mum. When i drop my son off to school in a couple of years time will he mocked as his mother dresses like a school girl? I've come over all self doubting suddenly. Should i be conforming to the jeans and suit jackets or worse, hoodies? Okay, thats not gunna happen really, but it has definetly got me wondering....ponder, ponder, ponder. Whats your thoughts? would love to hear!
Either way, the £7 red dress is wonderful, i already have 4 other remix ideas with it which i cant wait to share with you.


so then lovely bloggy folks, off to do some actual work. Weekend is almost upon us, woohoo!

hues of blues and greens

hey lovelies, hows the week treating you so far? well i hope!

I am currently at my desk in work avoiding doing some really important stressy stuff, ugh! 

Do you have a day job that sometimes you think Aarrrrgghhhh? 

Yeeee thats me today.

So on to the outfit instead of thinking of all that rubbish stuff!

I wore this on Saturday to the play gym with the family, play gyms for me require comfy clothing where i can run after escaping kids who just keep running to the Peppa Pig ride. Although credit where credits due, i saw a lady in a maxi dress climbing the whole gym in pursuit of her child, She did well!!

Blouse: Very

Jeans & shoes: Tesco

Scarf: www.dorothyperkins.com

oh.my.word. These jeans were soooo comfy. Now, i'm a fussy mare when it comes to jeans. I hate it when they're too tight that you feel you cant sit. I love them to have a bit of stretch and they had just that. And the colour, Cobalt blue, they go with so many things in my wardrobe, they have made an excellent addition! Have you found a good brand for jeans?

Also, apparently ponytails are back, not sure the red hair band securing the ponytail is, but either way, practical easy hair now "fashionable" thumbs up from me, who has 2 day old hair!

Just wanted to share a pic from the play gym .

Brotherly love makes my heart sing  <3 x o
so does Peppa pig as that programme makes my kids quiet and happy!!

Did you have a nice weekend? Would love to hear what you got up to!

A Common Occurrance

hellooo all, hope you're having nice weekends. Just a quick visit from me..

Dress & shoes: New look

Cardi: Next

Me wearing bird dresses is a fairly common occurrance, however, this is a particular fav.. this new bird dress from Newlook is so cheery, as you can see it was a grey,grey day and this bright number provided some much needed colour. I've been wearing a lot of dresses lately and loving it. As long as the length is right and the fit is comfy, i feel good to go! I have some re mix ideas for this dress too and hopefully should see me through all the seasons, which makes it a worthy investment if you ask me!

Also, more good news, @clothingattesco tweeted me a lovely tweet that informed me they had featured me as their "clothing at Tescos loves.." here it is if you'd like to go see... they such lovely things!

I mean what a month, little old me, who'd a thought it. My heads gunna need bigger hats at this rate ;o)

Well lovelies, you all have great weekends and i'll see you next week!

Celebrations!!

Hello lovelies

sorry for the absence lately, i have been yucky.

 Any IBS sufferers out there? yuk! and then add on top of that passing out, dizziness and a whole load of tiredness and thats been me this week. 

However, i received an email that made my day/week/month. 

Next Bloggers Network awarded me Blogger of the month... How fab! I get this cute badge to put on my blog and they did an interview avec moi and put it on their websites to see.. if you fancy a read about me babbling about blogging its here.

I was so super chuffed and my mum was proud, she felt like her daughter was famous bless her and wanted to go in to Next and ask for discount. I explained it doesn't quite work like that :)

Blogging is a wonderful little thing, it makes me a happy chappy! and its so nice to get good feedback 

I also had an Email from Modcloth to say Congrats! I've been picked as one of the Style Ambassadors... we've been chatting on facebook ever since! Like minded communities are so much fun!

yay yay yay.

So as you can see this lot has cheered me up lots and lots this week!

So this outfit is from about a week ago.. i was going out for a girlie day with my s.daughter Mia, to spend her birthday money (she bought lala loppsies and moshi's and i bought me a new dress!)
