Winter Whites with Tan Boots - Chic & Stylish Linkup.

Good morning everyone. 

Thanks for joining me today. 

It’s the first linkup of 2025, I hope you’ll add all your wonderful outfits so we can all enjoy them. 

I’ve been back to the gym this week and gosh how tired I feel after three classes and a swim! I reckon it’ll take me a couple of weeks to get back to my normal fitness. 

It’s also good to get back into blogging and taking photos. The weather has been fairly reasonable recently so I took full advantage of having a bit of free time and with nicer temps I managed to get these super photos sharing my tan boots which I was kindly gifted a few weeks ago.

Denim Skirt from cotton Traders - Chic & Stylish Link up.

Hi everyone. 

How’s it going?

Hasn’t this year just gone in the blink of an eye!  I’m thinking about things happening earlier in the year and it turns out they’re things from the year before! I think I’ve just been waiting for Summer to arrive and hadn’t noticed the year just fly by!

The weather has turned cold and quite nasty to be honest. I hate the rain and it’s arrived with a vengeance although no snow here … yet! I’m chilly as well so want to lounge around in tracksuits under a throw really! I spent a hour yesterday trying to take some photos and got totally disheartened. The sun was shining creating too many shadows in my dressing room but it was still quite windy so I didn’t trust my tripod falling over and smashing my phone, I’ve got something else planned later today as I’ve got some smashing Christmas outfits to share with you in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed it goes smoothly. 

I wore this skirt on Tuesday and realised I’d not shared this Cotton Traders beauty with you. It’s a stunning skirt for sure and one I feel right at home in.

Leopard Print Shirt Dress - #Chicandstylish #LINKUP

Hi there,

Hope you're okay.

I'm getting very excited as I'm off skiing on Saturday!

Everything should be ready to go now, I generally only pack jeans with a few nice shirts or jumpers for the evening, so no worrying on the 'what to pack' front.  I have bought a new tracksuit from H & M though, I usually wear trackies in the morning down to breakfast and then sometimes I'll change into one before getting ready for dinner.  That is if I have the energy to change when I get in from a day's skiing ... lol!

I'm sharing this superb dress with you today although it won't be packed for my trip,  I think it's so nice I figured you'd like to see it too.  It's a leopard print shirt dress - both of these I can't resist and when I found it in the M & S sale early last month (it was reduced to £18) I knew it would be mine.

Autumn has Arrived!

Hi there my friends, how’s you weekend gone?

Apologies for such a late post! My weekend ran away with me as did Monday, so for this week it's posted on a Tuesday!

Didn’t the weekend go fast? I think it’s because I was out on Saturday to celebrate a friends birthday for a bottomless brunch at 100 Wardour Street! It literally was “bottomless” as the glasses were filled at every opportunity! The food was good too, just enough and really tasty. I chose avocado on sour dough with poached eggs (my usual pre-flight breakfast - so thought I should be flying off somewhere nice! 😂) I followed this with a main course of Korean spiced chicken burger with chips. I managed to eat most of the chicken and chips and left the roll, wasn’t I good!

I had a dance too, the music was typical ... err I'm not sure, but it had a good vibe.  😆 Everyone there was enjoying the fun and dancing, it seemed strange when we left that it was still light!  Another couple of drinks in a nearby bar followed, before catching the fast train home. It was a slow day on Sunday, as you can imagine and the family roast was much appreciated. I caught up on Strictly too, which rounded my weekend off nicely.  What did you get up to?

With the weather still really changeable - wet and windy days, followed by sunshine and milder temperatures, but it's still noticeably Autumnal.  There's plenty of leaves fallen already and lots of berry's on the bushes and trees.  I do like having seasons, but Autumn is one of my favourites.  The colour palettes are fabulous and I like to blend in with the surrounding hues, so today's outfit fits in beautifully.

Hello and welcome to the blog.  

I hope you're having a good day.

As I write this I'm an anxious Mummab because my middle daughter is due to give birth any day now, and by today she may have had it (hate using the word 'it', but we don't know if she's having a boy or a girl).

I'm actually really pleased they didn't find out, I never did with any of mine as it wasn't really 'done' then ... I rather liken it to opening a present when you know what's inside.  I know my views are different from many, and I appreciate everyone doesn't feels the same. Did you find out the sex of your child before they were born?

Anyway back to fashion talk.  Do you like the dress?

It came from Amazon!  I've never bought any clothes from them before and as I have a voucher to spend I thought I'd try them out.  I must admit it wasn't all the money in the world and isn't particularly good quality, however the style, pattern and fit is okay.
