New, from Miu Miu :-)









For my birthday, my darling husband gave me this very pretty and classic LBD, with a sheer see-through silk ruffle on the chest (to add a little oomph!) and a detachable waist tie. 

If weather allows (to not wear tights that is), I'm thinking of wearing it tomorrow, Friday, when we are going for dinner with our good friends Andrea and David, at 34 Grosvenor Square

A family affair

Despite today's  harsh (cold and windy!) weather, we headed out for a mission to find Sean a pair of trainers and to grab some lunch

Sean starts junior football on Monday with a coach from Little Kickers, hence the need to get him the right footwear. 

New and noteworthy handbag - hurray for grey :-)

Molton Brown

I'm really pleased with the soap stand in stainless steel that I just got from Molton Brown.  It's designed to hold two bottles (I've chosen one hand wash and one hand lotion) and it's looking very sleek and stylish!

New & noteworthy




  • This the early xmas pressie that was hidden in one of the shopping bags last week. A down-filled puffer jacket with a hood, detachable fur trim and a waist belt.  Hopefully it should keep me warm and looking stylish at the same time.

Green with envy?


Jealous of my gorgeous new military green viscose shirt/blouse with golden studs on the front pockets and collar? Well don't be - it's only £12 at Primark! :-)

New and noteworthy

And so I eventually did the dreaded swap from Blackberry to iPhone!  Am finding it very difficult to type on, but was very happy when I realised I could pimp it with a neon pink (colour didn't really come out in pic) hard shell case from Juicy Couture! :-)

New and noteworthy - YSL Chyc belt

Finally today I took delivery of this little number (bought it here)!
 As something to hold my jeans up, I can't justify the price, but it's been an object of my desire for quite some time now, and I can't tell you how happy I am with my purchase :-)

New and noteworthy

Yesterday I went to Selfridges to check out their home sale, with the intention of buying a new toaster from Dualit.  To be honest I didn't expect the one I had in mind to be reduced, so guess how surprised I was to see that it actually was!

However, it turned out they had none left, so I then proposed to buy the one on display with a discount.  The sales assistant told me she could knock off a further 20%, so in total I saved a whole £70 off the original price!

Sometimes you don't get things if you don't ask for it -  Need I say I left feeling very satisfied :-)

I'm beating the chill today in my new jumper from Ralph Lauren Sport. Dark pink (more cerise maybe) with a v neck line and a black embroided polo logo. A classic contemporary style which is perfect with a pair of jeans and black UGGs.

No Fear




Sean in his new 'No Fear' one-piece, for our upcoming annual skiing holiday in March.  He wasn't very keen on trying it on, and I just about managed to get him to smile by bribing him with a biscuit :-)

There's nothing like a little bit of Hanky Panky ;-)


A (leopard print/black lace) wireless, non padded bra from Hanky Panky came with the postman today, and helped me forget about my sore head for a while.  I am simply In love with all their soft bralettes.  Go and check 'em out, and don't forget to tell your man about it in time for the upcoming Valentine's.
Who said comfy can't be sexy? lol

DIY

BEFORE: 
Very girly shoes (there was nothing even remotely close to these in the boys' section!) with silky laces and a bow on the back. Not an option for my Seany!


AFTER:
I really fell for these tweedy and wintry looking shoes, Converse style, with a soft fluffy inner lining.  
 I just swapped the laces with black textile ones and removed the bow.  And voilà - now I have a pair of trendy (will look so cool with his black biker leather jacket) shoes that will keep my little fella's  feet not only warm but stylish! Oh, and I paid only £3.00 - now that's what I call a bargain!

Same style - different colours

Ive done it again, bought the same style (in this case Ralph Lauren cardigan) in different colours. But I think you just can't go wrong with such a timeless piece of clothing that works well during all seasons. I will team it with a pair of jeans and platform ankle boots, or simply with leggings and flat riding boots.

Its the little things..


I am currently in love with my new handbag hook. This pretty little thing has made my life a lot easier lol,  and I really recommend all women to own one

I bought it in Aspinal of London and it came wrapped up in a pretty package 
I
You simply place the hook on the edge of a table when you are out in a cafe or restaurant to avoid getting your favourite handbag (here in my case the Prada Zaffiano Luxe) dirty underneath :-)

Yesterday's delivery

This v-neck jumper in gorgeous cerise from Ralph Lauren was delivered on Saturday, just in time for my holiday to Sweden tomorrow.
