Style not Age show off their Wedding Wears.

Hi there ladies. 

How’s it going 

I’ve been such a busy lady recently. Weekends away with wedding prep has made getting posts out hard work if  not non existent. So this post has been a bit rushed even though the challenge, which was set by me, was made weeks ago!

It’s been all about weddings in the Mummabstylish household so it was an easy choice to include Wedding Wear for the Style not Age prompt this month. Do scroll to see what my three friends picked for their choices. 

Summer Loving having a Blast with Style not Age.

Morning my friends. 

Well that was a scorcher! With not a lot of actual sunshine on Sunday  

David has been away on the stag weekend and he’s not back until tomorrow. For me it’s been hard as we’re ALWAYS together. I’ve been with my daughters and the grandkids so it’s been fun but I hate not having him around!

I’ve went to the Ashford outlet yesterday, but came home with nothing but a sports bra! The shops are dire and I’m going to have to resort to shopping online! I need some summer flats to take away, but didn’t see any I really liked so I’ve been doing the thing I hate … scrolling the web. It’s so boring and I get so annoyed, anyone else have that problem? I’ll just have to do little and often, and fingers crossed I find what I want. 🤞

My post today features three of my lovely friends from the Style not Age gang and this month we’re 

Summer Loving and having a blast with our favourite Summer outfits that have been on repeat over the past few weeks. Stay tuned to find out what my three friends have been reaching for.

Morning all. 

How are you my friends?

I’ve blinked and missed the weekend! Surely it’s only Friday? Ha ha, I’m joking really but to be honest with you my weekend was so busy it came and went in a flash!

Friday night I was back to ballroom. We took on a jive and as usual I picked it up quite well and throughly enjoyed the whole dance, well we only learnt half the routine and will finish it off next week. 

On Saturday morning I helped my eldest daughter out and took one of her boys to football. After a last minute change of venue the game started in the rain, and fortunately I anticipated the wet weather and took my rain coat and umbrella. Alas it turned chilly by the end of the 40 minute game and I was rather happy to get home. 

I soon warmed up as I went to my daughter’s house, the one who’s living with me whilst her house is extended, for a day of painting. We started with a base layer of mist spray which was the worst part of painting. Once all the upstairs rooms had one coat of the mist spray we started on a proper coat of paint, we went round all the rooms before returning home for an Indian takeaway and a much needed glass of bubbles. 

The following day, after doing a clean for my daughter at her Air BNB, I went back to paint again, this time after finishing the landing I started on the downstairs. Another mist coat which is a watery half mix of paint was applied. It’s a big room with the kitchen, dining area and sitting room all in one place and although it took ages, we managed to get it all done. We’ll tackle that room in the week with proper paint and hope to see the difference in no time, painting a room really starts to make a room more like a liveable room doesn’t it? After a busy weekend of hard work it was wonderful to come home to a home cooked dinner of chicken, mushroom and leek pie served with baby roast potatoes, tender-stem broccoli and peas. Isn’t it nicer to have dinner cooked for you?

As you can imagine I didn’t have time to take photos, which is a real shame - I’ve been wearing so many wonderful autumnal outfits since I came home, so I’ll share a cute dress I took away with me to Sicily.

Style not Age share their Secondhand outfits.

Good morning everyone. 

Hope you’re well. 

I’m actually shocked at the fact it’s October tomorrow … October how did that happen! I’ve even spotted some Xmas decorations in my local Sainsbury’s along with mince pies and Christmas puddings, it’ll be fairy lights and tinsel before we know it! That being said I need to order my turkeys soon. We order from a local turkey farm and I have to say they are always delicious. One year our turkey had a pretty pinkish tinge, this was a result of them being fed on the remnants of butternut squash in the surrounding fields. 

I went to a lovely family event yesterday, it was my niece’s daughter’s christening and it was lovely to join all the family for a good old catch up! It was held in the church she got married in and then at a local pub. Obviously I enjoyed a couple of glasses of fizz along with some tasty party food - anyone else love party food? I always end up eating too much only seconded by eating too much cake!

Our challenge this month was set by Gail, she liked the idea suggested by Hilda so this month we’re styling our 

Secondhand September outfits.

Morning all. 

How’s your world treating you?

Nothing much to report really, just a normal week so far but a busy weekend on the horizon for me. 

I missed gym on Monday after not feeling 100% so Wednesday’s were my only two classes this week. I’m still going to Fight Club and have to admit to struggling with the routine yesterday! Maybe it’s because I’m getting over a cold or just getting old but trying to grasp the whole routine was a nightmare, I kept having to stop and I think the instructor had given up on me! If you’re messing up the routine you have to go and do either press up’s or burpees so guess who was doing those first! 😂. So fingers crossed I’ll be back to normal and grasp the workout quicker next week or I might have to consider doing a different class! 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

On a better note though I went through the jacket section of my wardrobe and added a few, that I didn’t want anymore, to Vinted. I’ve got rid of about 5 so far, only for a few £’s but it’s good to pass them on and give them a new lease of life isn’t it! Do you sell on Vinted or what’s a similar site where you are?

Today I’m sharing something I wore on Tuesday to visit my mum, it’s an old faithful skirt and new Tee shirt & I’m really pleased with the look. Do let me know your thoughts. 

Showing Off on Repeat - #Chicandstylish #LINKUP

Good morning my friends.

Hoping you are enjoying the week.

Has it turned Autumnal where you are?

Rain today after a few nice days that were quite hot!

Yesterday after the usual gym sessions I came home to tackle to bedroom. My second eldest daughter her husband and son are moving in whilst their bungalow's extended and made into a house, so her old bedroom (my room for my dresses) had to be sorted and found new homes for everything in it! 😱 Yes that’s been very hard to do. With the help of two of my daughters we went through the rail of dresses, separating them into piles keep, charity. Vinted and ditch. It was actually rather therapeutic and I returned from the charity bin feeling like a weight had been lifted off my chest! I’ve already added the pieces to Vinted and within an hour had sold three items! 

It’s been really good to go through the dresses, remembering when I wore them, how many times and would I ever get into some of them again! Lol. 

So the room is almost empty now, I've got parcels to post and a run to the tip but I’m exciting see it filled mainly with Max ❤️

So you can imagine I’ve not had much time to get blogging, hence this late post and the dress I’m sharing today is a ‘just for fun’ look.  You might have seen this last year when I was debating wearing it for Christmas and since then haven’t had the opportunity to don it. It’s waiting patiently for its outing and I’ll be sure to let you know when I do. But just for now let’s enjoy the colours. 💕💙

Belated Birthday and My new Teddy Blake Bag - #Chicandstylish #LINKUP

Morning me friends.

I hope you are well.

So sorry for no post on Monday, after the weekend away and a couple of family issues I just couldn't get myself going ... plus the fact it was my birthday.  I got some amazing gifts and cards (love getting and reading cards) & had a super Indian in the evening with the kids and my mum.  You might remember me saying it was my grandaughters birthday the following day and then my son's the day after so it's been full on.  David is away on the 'stag' today, so I've made sure everything is ready for him and also my youngest son who's going too.  I'm looking forward to a quiet couple of days with the controller to catch up of girly telly ... Lol!

Last weekend was good fun and I'm working on a post so I can share some of the antics with you.  I'll also be sharing a couple of new dresses with you but today I wanted to show off another bag from the stunning collection of Teddy Blake.  I'd love you to check back to my older post sharing the stunning pink Lola bag too, it's such a pretty colour and a useful size bag.

Hen Weekend to Majorca - #Chicandstylish #LINKUP

Hello there and welcome to the blog.

Hope you’re doing well and have had a super week. 

I’ve planned this post in advance as today I’m on my way to Majorca (after the early departure of 1.30 am I’m probably there now)!

If you remember I’m on a hen weekend for my nephews wife-to-be. There’s about 17 of us including my three daughters and my daughter-in-law so will be good fun to be away together without the grandkids. I managed to get everything sorted by Tuesday, with just my spray tan on Wednesday just before I got a few hours sleep before the very early start!  It’s like a marathon getting everything ready for a trip away even for a couple of days like this!

You can imagine the chats we've been having and we've also also got a Whatsapp group to find out what everyone its wearing, thinking and doing etc.  It's been on fire the last few days and has got us all very excited to get away with the right stuff.  Does anyone else have a specific group for things like this?

Today I thought I’d share what I’m taking. We’ve opted for a carry-on case, so I’m packing light - very light lol!

This is what I wanted to wear, but I’m actually in jeans, sandals and a hen T Shirt!
