May Review.

Good morning. 
Hope you’re well today. 

Welcome to the first post of June, the beginning of Summer. Let’s hope we didn’t have that last week in those few hot days! 🤭
Apologies for being late, I've been away over the weekend and just didn't get a chance to blog! I hope you saw my stories on Instagram as It was a super little break, I plan to share next week if you missed it though.

As it’s the first Monday  Tuesday of the new month, shall we look back on what I wore in May for the … May Review.

With temperatures rather low at the beginning of the month I was dressed in layers rather than anything befitting sunshine.  I took full advantage of the sun with my new co-ord here. This khaki green two piece was a bargain from Primark.  It only cost £20 for both items, I consider that a brilliant buy.  The wide leg trousers have an elasticated waist and pockets so makes it a versatile piece suitable for shopping as well as a lovely travelling suit.  The matching top is just so easy to wear.  It slips over the head and sits just below the waistband or can be neatly tucked in.  The colour is good as it'll pair nicely with gold pumps and trainers but can also be worn with heels for a stylish evening look - how would you wear it?

May Review.

Hello there. 
Thanks for stopping by. 

Just back from my trip to Cornwall with my mum and sister. We went to visit my uncle who lives there and we stayed in the delightful hotel Pencubitt in Liskeard. I’ll share what I got up to soon but today it’s all about what I got up to in May. It’s time for the …

May Review. 

It’s been a busy couple of weeks and I’m hoping for a bit of a break now. I’ll get my post about both Cornwall and Amiens ready for you soon but until then please accept today’s post in stead. 
I started off the month with a super stylish pair of wide leg linen blend trousers and love the look. I’ve even bagged another similar white pair from Vinted and will share them soon.

May Review

Hi there. 
How did your weekend go?
Welcome to the month of June, I certainly hope it lives up to expectations! We want some sunshine! ☀️ 

I’m getting very excited now as I’m off on holiday (the first since last May, excluding my weekend on The Isle of Wight), to Majorca with my eldest and her family. I know it’s going to be a hectic 10 days, but I can’t wait to relax in the sunshine, enjoy some cocktails, and delicious food along with enjoying the company of my daughter and SIl and their family of four. We’ve stayed at this hotel a couple of times previously so I know where everything is and am familiar with the surroundings, isn’t that always nice when you’ve got kids with you. Just incase of any emergencies etc. 


Today as it’s the first Monday of the month it’s time to cast our minds back to view what I wore last month for the …
May Review. 

If you saw last Thursday’s post you’ll have seen I was showing off a blazer from Bonmarch’s new collection. Well this post promotes another garment namely a glorious chiffon blouse.

May Review.

Hi there my friends.
How's your weekend gone?
Here in the UK we've had a wonderful 4 day bank holiday weekend with lots of celebrations for the Queens Platinum Jubilee.  You can read about my experiences with the Silver, Golden and Diamond Jubilee in last Thursday's post.
June has arrived for us all, and rather than Flaming June we've definitely got cold and wet June - doesn't sound too good does it!  It also means it's time for a recap of last month's outfits, do stay and read about my May Review post.X

I was delighted to receive these sandals from Moshulu at the beginning of May, I had hoped to wear them more often over the past month and I have to admit to doing my best and donning them at every opportunity, but when It's so cold and raining I had to draw the line and wear shoes a tad warmer and more covered in.  Come the end of the month I'll be strutting my stuff in Majorca so you can be sure they'll be joining me there!

May Review.

Good morning everyone.
Thanks for stopping by the blog today.
How you all feeling?

Isn't the year flying by!  I can't believe it's June already, without a hint of a holiday or break away on the horizon.  Have you managed to escape somewhere interesting and exciting - do tell!
My season of birthday's has finally eased with only one birthday late next month.  I'm certainly all caked out now which doesn't help with losing weight - lol.

As it's the beginning of the month it's time for the May Review so in case you missed any you can catch them here in this concise post.

I've started a new monthly series called At Home With ..... did you see it?
If you would like to be featured please do let me know, I would love you to join in. X


So cast your mind back to the start of May.  The weather was typical for the UK and very changeable, so I was between wearing trousers and boots with coats to wearing dresses with trainers and pretty jackets.  My first look is my shacket, my opinion did a full 180 with this trend & now I love them! 
This is from my local F & F and I think it smartens up jeans and these faux leather trousers perfectly.
