Yep, yep , yep you heard correctly the lovely Sharon from Best Before End Date has nominated me for a Sunshine Blogger Award. A blogger to blogger award. Thankyou lovely lady
It’s such a fabulous idea and a great way to pay it forward and hopefully get some new eyes / views/ followers to our blogs.
I’m all for supporting my fellow bloggers … so here goes
Here are Sharon’s questions and my answers as follows:
“Teal is a deep blue-green colour; a dark cyan
Teal gets its name from the coloured area around the eyes of the common teal, a member of the duck family.”
Hey up its me, sat typing and sweltering. I’m at work and I really want to whip my bra, pants and dress off. Not my best idea. But hey … anybody else feeling the same vibe…
Apart from the glorious weather – this week has kicked off to a grand start. I’ve only gone and bloody won a dress over on instagram! I know, I know … go me!
I don’t often do fashion posts ; I’m hardly the most fashionable person on the planet . I personally think people should wear what the bloody hell they want too. It’s clothing not rocket science. It should be fun and it should also be a reflection of you, whether it’s ‘ in fashion‘ or not. #youdoyou
Do you ever look though a magazine or swipe through Instagram and see something you HAVE to have.
That’s a silly question … of course you do.
I do it a lot actually but I don’t necessarily act on my instincts. Mainly because I’m always skint and very fickle; my urges move on quickly.
One item I did see. One that wouldn’t stop playing on my mind was a yellow jacket from JD Williams new season collection. It looked at me and whispered “you try and walk away… buy me, buy me“
I had some birthday money left and as I didn’t think the price was bad at all [£50.00] I only bloody ordered it. It felt satisfying, because basically it was.
I had hoped it would be as fabulous in the flesh as it looked on paper. I had my fingers crossed that I wouldn’t look too much like ‘Big Bird’ from Sesame Street in it … I mean at 5ft 10 it’s a worry.
So here she is in all her glory…
Love it or hate it Instagram for the whole is a good place to be.
Little squares to inspire , or be inspired. A place to share your loves and your hates, your fashion finds, beauty essentials, interior goals… a place to be creative. To discover similar creatives…
Let’s just put to the back of our mind the people buying a following, the follow-unfollow game, the crazy algorithm [groan] and the swipe up facility that you can’t access or use until you reach 10k followers ? Why Instagram why?
As well as ‘meeting’ and getting to know some truly fabulous people , I’ve also discovered some really lovely small UK brands. Had it not been for Instagram I might not have done so.
I thought I’d share some of them with you today.
First up is a friend of mine that I didn’t actually discover on here [ little details eh ] we went to college together back in the day, but who you can find on Instagram here. Continue reading
“The joy of dressing is an art “ John Galliano
Yesterday the sun was shining and I spent an amazing afternoon with my friend Sue who shares an equal love for all things fashion when we paid a visit to the House Style Exhibition at Chatsworth House.
I had no intention of blogging about my trip BUT I had my ‘big’camera on me and after walking around, taking photos, lusting after several dresses and generally being ‘gob-smacked ‘ at the majority of items on show I just had to share it with you .
Although the Exhibition ends very shortly there is some good news in that you have until 22nd October, 2017 to go and see it for yourself.
Go, go , go but maybe stick around and read my post first …
The House Style Exhibition demonstrates the power of fashion. It brings to life the captivating individuals from the Cavendish family over five centuries .
I thought I’d share some of my favourite bits and pieces with you. Continue reading
Last night was ‘Date Night‘.
What with one thing and another ‘we‘ tend to get side-lined. We decided Date Night should become [where possible] a weekly affair. Sometimes life gets in the way of romance doesn’t it? We made a promise to make time for each other.
You may all say awwwww…
or be sick.
Your choice.
The BF mentioned the cinema. I pulled a ‘urgh’ face. I was tired I told him , I’d fall asleep as soon as the lights went down . It would be a total waste of money and let’s face it going to the cinema these days isn’t a cheap affair.
Sometimes I’m mardy and not much fun! As you can see my can’t be arsed mood isn’t shifting very fast.
Then I remembered that Atomic Blonde with the beautiful Charlize Theron was showing at Vue, Meadowhall.
I’d been dying to see this film after seeing the trailers. There was only one problem the BF was keen to see bloody Spider-Man .
Some quick thinking on my part and the promise of some naked, lesbian sex scene action sealed the deal. The BFs eyes lit up and the decision was made… Spider-Man could wait! Continue reading
