Styling a Foil Dress - Thursday - Chic & Stylish Linkup

Morning all. 

Hope you’re well. 

I’m off to London today. I’ve been invited to the Bonmarche Press Day in Covent Garden. It’ll be lovely to see what’s new in from then and I’ve seen a few bits already and I have to say I’m impressed! I’ve been a couple of times before but it’s still excited to go. I get to see the new collection, catch up with the staff from Bonmarche and also meet other influencers. I’m meeting the lovely Michelle - Fifty & Fab. We’re having a lunch before heading to the event so I’m very excited to see her again. We always say we’re going to meet up for lunch and a catch up but so far haven’t done it! I’ll try to add some stories on Instagram.

My Weekend!

Morning. 

How you doing?

Well that’s been a busy weekend, fun and hectic too. 

We’d had my daughter’s four kids to stay as they went away and aren’t back until tomorrow. It’s been really lovely to spend so much time with them. I admit to it being crazy mad busy but it’s been good too. Fortunately they spend a lot of time at ours, although they haven’t stayed overnight for ages. They feel relaxed here and treat it like home, which I love.

Argyle Jumper From Tu Clothing - Chic & Stylish Linkup

Morning everyone. 

Hope you are all okay. 

Another week that’s flown by!

Where does the time go!

My life seems to be busier than ever now. Family life is hectic but I love it. Spending time with the kids and their families is lovely. There’s always something going on and I’m needed in so many different ways that I never expected. For me that’s the beauty of my over fifty blog. I can do it when I want to and when I have the time and should I be needed elsewhere I can leave it. Although lots of the time it’s harder to get back into it!

Today’s outfit started off with the argyle jumper. I found it in Tu clothing and it’s been hanging in my wardrobe for a few weeks. I finally found the right skirt with my burgundy faux leather midi - a great look don’t you think!

It's Pink and a Bardot Style - Love it!

Hi there everyone.

Hope you are well. x

Good to have you join me today, bet you wished you could join me on the island of Rhodes too because that's where I am today and for the rest of the week!

I've been to Rhodes three times before, once with my sister, once with the family when they were young and 36 years ago on my honeymoon!

I will have two holiday's to share with you when the days become less hectic.  I don't know why my life is so busy at the moment!

Until then, shall I show you one of my outfits for both holidays?  I fell for this jumpsuit big time and adore how it looks.

Pastel Picking - #Chicandstylish #LINKUP

Morning all.

Are you all feeling elated?

I'm having such good fun with all the family in Spain.  I hope you're following along on IG to see what I'm up to and what I'm wearing.  Some of the dresses you will have seen before but there's a couple of new pieces that I just couldn't resist.

Bit short and sweet I'm afraid, but I hope you're all having a super week and are looking forward to July!

I'm sharing a look that I'm a big fan of.  Wide leg trousers are not only flattering for my pear shape but make for a graceful and classic look. They fit in the right places skimming my hips and balancing out the whole look.  I like to wear a more fitted top with maybe a frill (like mine today) or a fabric with a big bold pattern.

Wearing my Izabel Dress to a Wedding.

Morning my friends.

How you doing today?

I've had a lovely week, with a wedding on Thursday and a lovely dinner with friends on Saturday night.

We have the next stint of birthdays coming up starting with mine next Sunday.  I'm planning on having friends and family round for some drinks and nibble - it'll be the first time I've celebrated a birthday properly since the beginning of Covid and I'm really excited to see everyone together.  I've put my order in for a big birthday cake from my daughter - you can see what she baked me last year.  I've asked for a Victoria sponge but the rest will be a surprise, I love a surprise do you?

It's the season of weddings isn't it and I have three in the space of 3 months, so when I was asked by Izabel London if I'd like to pick something from the website I had fun looking through their pretty items.

My eyes fell upon this stunner so I looked no further!
