Halara Trousers - Chic & Stylish Linkup

Hi all. 
How’s it going?

Thursday already, where did the week go?
Not much to report this week. I’ve done my usual gym classes and am off to ballet this morning, but other than that it’s been very quiet. I had planned on getting a few photos taken this week, but for one reason or another it didn’t get done! I’m needing some new Spring/Summer items to add to what I’ve already got in the wardrobe, but the shops aren’t offering much up. I need to go into town to get a new eyeshadow so will have a look to see what I can find. 

I’ve been selling on Vinted recently and am doing fairly well, it’s quite contagious getting rid of my charity piles and even if something only sells for a couple of quid it’s nice to know somethings getting a new lease of life. I’ve also bought a few bits. I found a fab pair of white wide leg jeans from H&M on there and snapped up the bargain for only £10. Such a shame when they arrived and they’re too small! So annoying because I’ve got the same pair in light wash denim which fit beautifully - why does white denim always come up small? I also found a pair of black culottes and paid only £6 for the brand new with tags item, I wore them on Monday to a funeral. I share them with you soon and tell you how the outfit was born. 

Do you love a comfy pair of trousers? Then this is just the post for you.

My Damart Co-Ord - Chic & Stylish Linkup

Morning all. 
Hope you’ve had a super week. 

Seems I’m coming down with a cough and cold! There’s been a lot about recently so it was always going to happen! It’s not too bad but more annoying really. 

I’ve had a good few days, still busy but all okay. I took my young grandson EKarting on Tuesday. It’s what he wanted for a birthday present and wanted me to take him. It was so nice having one-to-one time with him and we had a nice laugh. He throughly enjoyed the karting and was very talented. He came first which he was thrilled about. I watched from the side lines, slightly tempted to have a go myself but didn’t in the end. From the Karting track we headed over to McDonald’s for a burger before heading home. I love my little outings and can’t wait for the next one with my granddaughter. You might remember her’s is the day after mine which is next month. 

Yesterday, after my two gym classes, and a quick visit to my mums, I returned home to the front room carpet being cleaned. I hope it stays nice for the foreseeable, but I fear previous stains often make a re-appearance, so I’ll be keeping an eye on that. I cooked a lovely Italian lamb dish for our dinner last night, it’s slow cooked in white wine, carrots, celery and onion, with stock and some fresh tomatoes. I served it with new potatoes, runner beans and asparagus, it was really very tasty and went down a storm with hubby, do let me know if you’d like the recipe!

Today’s outfit is going to be one of those all-round winners. The co-ord is such a striking shade of blue it’s perfect for Spring and Summer!
