Peacock Feather Print T-Shirt (Veromoda) / Colbalt Blue Skinny Jeans (Dorothy Perkins) / Silver Wedge Shoes (Fly London @ Amazon) / Turquoise Pashmina (Gift) / Herringbone Grey & Black Belt (Old ?) / Blue & White Star Bracelets (Asda) / Plastic Ring (Dorothy Perkins) / Navy Parachute Satchel (Next).


......just LOVING my coloured jeans at the moment !! They are just so versatile and I love creating intense colour combinations with them.

I've taken the peacock print on the T-shirt as my starting point, and combined jewel-toned blue and aqua shades to work in with the peacock theme. Deep, rich autumnal shades are rocking my world !!

So what richer colours are you drawn to this autumn ?


(PS ........I'm also totally smitten with my new Satchel-With-A-Twist .......isn't it gorgeous ?!)

Tulip Fitted Dress (Warehouse) / Tan & Cobalt Platform Sandals (French Connection @ Oli) / Chandelier Earrings (Claire's Accessories) / Birdcage Pendant (Littlewoods) / Dogtag Pendant (H&M) / Tan Knotted Belt (New Look) / Beaded Bracelets (Topshop) / Yellow Ring (Next) / Yellow Soft Clutch (Asos).


Photos from a couple of weekends ago, when I was in Glasgow for a girlie weekend !! Yes that is a lilac fluffy tiara on my head in the second photo, we had our own karaoke booth in a bar for our dinner and it came complete with dressing up box !! We had a lot of fun and a chance to catch up, as a few of us no longer live in my hometown.

I LOVE my dress that I wore, it fits like a glove and the tulip shape is so flattering. And that print !!! I'm a sucker for a gorgeous zingy print as you well know !! With flashes of yellow (including my nails !) and cobalt blue accents (the earrings and on my shoes) I felt all dressed up for a nite out on the town with my best buds...........

Floral Puff Sleeve T-Shirt (New Look) / Camel Skinny "Molly" Jeans (Littlewoods) / Gold Embellished Pumps (Clarks Outlet) / Aqua Chain Heart Pendant (Dorothy Perkins) / Tan Embossed Belt (Heatons).


A casual outfit for a casual evening, with my new camel skinnys making an appearance. They are a great basic that go with absolutely everything!!

The top is one I've had for a couple of years, I love the muted jade tones and the art-deco style floral print, it's a bit unusual. The same could be said about the quirky chain-link aqua pendant !!

Been knackered this week, after a month of juggling work with a full-on bathroom refurb it's catching up on me. I've also got this weekend away in Scotland, catching up with my friends in the homeland........it's gonna be so much fun but a well earned rest will be in order next week !! So what are you up to at the weekend ?

Some photos from the bank holiday weekend, when we were up on the north coast. We were up there for the annual Mini car run, where hundreds of old and new minis turn out for a run around the sea front in Portrush! The other half had been working none stop to get our little runabout looking resplendent for the run !! The weather wasn't great but we had a good wee day regardless.

Outfit - wise, comfort was key, which gave me the chance to wear my new Fly wedges (they are SO comfy). I love the colours and the detail on these wedges, and the fact that they give me a wee bit of height whilst still being so damm comfy is a win-win in my book!!! They are just so distinctive in style too.....

I picked out the colours from my shoes with a multi stripe marl t-shirt and a wee stripy ring, and topped it off with my lovely coral beads. I also did my nails (a rare thing) in a lovely Peppermint colour for an added summery edge (Rimmel Lycra Pro colour 500). Easy-going and relaxed is the way I rolled at the weekend !!

So what did you get up to over the bank holiday?
