My new jacket!!! Ted Baker Sapley jacket...

My new Jacket!!  Well, here's my nod to the suede trend at the moment, and I think I have tried to do it all in one go.  Camel colour: check, Biker jacket: check and Suede: check!   This is from Ted Baker and its the Sapley Jacket.   To start it is super soft and complete quality, I heart this!   I got a massive discount on it so I don't feel too bad, though my credit card does.  In my humble opinion, this jacket oozes sartorial grace...

I have to admit, I don't see myself as uber fashionable so please excuse me if you feel the same.  I just know what I like, and what feels comfortable and lastly, hope that it will be on trend.  All in that order!!!  I can't forget that I have two small children and I have to be running around them, picking them up (with dirty shoes!) and being a general bumble bee just to get through my days.  But, I need something for me, and this jacket fitted the criteria perfectly.  I just hope you like it too!!! 

Worn with Topshop Leigh jeans in bleach wash.

Narcissist? Not me... Nars NARSissist Eyeshadow Palette

Narcissist? Moi?  Most definitely not.  Doing my blog took a lot of guts (for me) and wasn't sure whether I should do it.  In fact, every time I post I get the willies and wonder if I should find a new hobby.  99% of the time I hate my photos but I've just got to a point in life where I just think f*** it!!!  This blog is not about glorifying me, just my passion...!

Anyway, back to Narcissism.  Nars NARSissist Dual Intensity Eyeshadow palette, got me thinking (way too much!) and I have to say I am in love with it... 

 

 

 

 

It can be used wet or dry and is easy to apply.  In my photo below I used it wet and used just the golden and the burgundy shade.  I used the lightest shade to highlight my brow bone and I used that dry.  It has only a slight shimmer and I found was great for daytime when I popped out at the weekend with family. 

 

 

 

This is what I wore:

 

 

Armani jeans jacket, and I got this great jacket for less than half price!  Thanks House of Fraser!  Abercrombie and Fitch jeans and Asos Swing Top with Crochet (love love love that top).

 

 

And finally to show its more about my family than me, here they are and growing fast!!!

 

 

And to prove I can laugh at myself, here's me being a mummy and fishing something out of Kian's mouth!

 

 

 Hope you like!! xxx

No vote!!! Hungry kids...

I have to admit I have set womens lib back by 100 years (if I haven't already done so, so far).  I didn't vote.  But not because I didn't want to.  But because we forgot dinner.   We had an allocated time to go to the polling station.  As luck would have it, at 5:10 in the evening (our allocated vote time) we realised there was no dinner in the fridge for the kids.  And they eat at 5:30.  Last weekend I completely forgot to get the components of their favourite pasta dinner.  My anxiety went through the roof when I discovered that there was nothing to feed my kids.  We dragged the kids kicking and screaming to a supermarket and got their dinner albeit 20 mins late.  I had a choice, feed my kids or vote for who I would like to run this country.   My kids came first!!! xxx

My sister!!! By Terry Rouge Terrybly Flirty Rosy - a review

The other day we all went to visit my Mum.  She has recently been poorly (and infectious!) so it was a while before I could take my children;  they love it there!  The only snag is she lives across on the other side of London and it takes an absolute age to get there.  But hey, she's my mummy!!!

If you are wondering why I love dressing up, its the fault of my sister and my mother.   Believe it or not I grew up a bit of a tomboy and completely rejected any idea of looking nice.  Always perfectly groomed, next to them, I never felt good enough!  So, now, later in life I'm making up for it!!!  And really enjoying it lol!

So what make up did I wear?  I was wearing an orange Vila shirt and what lipstick did I opt for?   Pink!  It doesn't sound right but I think I just get away with it...

 

 

The lipstick is By Terry Rouge Terrybly in Flirty Rosy and I tell you it is the most moisturising lipstick I own.  In fact I use as a base to all my lipsticks so my lips don't dry out.   I suffer with dry lips and this really works, I promise!

 

 

 

What I wore:

 

 

Vila wrap shirt in orange, Topshop Leigh Jeans in Vintage wash and Rag and Bone Newbury boots in Grey.

Finished off with Ted Baker Vedette jacket in Navy

So, back to my sister!  She is actually wearing a Karen Millen top I recommended and haven't had a chance to wear yet; the cheek!!!  She's the one who gave me a pep talk about my blog to help me along (or if you prefer, a kick up the backside!)

Here she is, my sister, looking fabulous in that Karen Millen top...
