As August Leaves...

With August about to leave us, the weather reflects the change of months.... One day it shines and the next it rains - it's kind of hard to keep up with these moods!!

After an eight week summer holiday, the start of our ballet season is inevitably 'hard'..... It's time to get the body back into its 'unnatural' ways, of twists, turns and face the odd stumble and tumble!!!  I enjoy the challenge of testing my strengths, though often frustrated with my weaknesses, I feel positive about our companies new season ahead :)

Love Charlie

Today I ...

....  I made use of the rainy day by getting to know my IPad.....I think we are going to be firm friends!

You wouldn't have wanted to venture out of our door today as the rain fall in the last 24 hours likened to the amount that we would usually have in a month. Though when I did HAVE to go out, I wrapped myself in my holiday memories with my 'Florida Gator's' jumper and the most genius invention of the high top wedges (my other new 'friend'!)  Plus no worries for future rainy days with the tshirt graffiti pens I found in New Look :)

Life isn't so bad when it pours!!!!!

As you've probably gathered I have finally entered the world of Instagram!!

Little Mix

From Vivienne Westwood to Primark (what a mixture) but this is my favourite thing about Brit fashion!

I do think we have an amazing high street for up to the minute pieces at affordable prices.  

I sit here pondering that it would be nice to open my wardrobe every morning to a gazillion designer pieces looking back at me. But actually, I have so much fun hunting down fashion on our high street and mixing it all up with higher end brands (and when I'm lucky the odd designer piece thrown in) that I would miss the little missions that I set myself on in River Island, Primark and Topshop etc, etc! 

 To me that's the art of fashion.  Looking at my paint palette and mixing it all up to create a 'look'. Maybe I wouldn't love it so much, had I not the thrill of the chase.

Today is the day.....

TODAY IS THE DAY YOU WORRIED ABOUT YESTERDAY...

AND ALL IS WELL   ....................

A teacher at my school once uttered those very words to me and they have stuck firm in my head..... Whenever I'm worried or nervous about something, i always repeat it to myself.

Today was one of 'those days' and for those of you who know me or follow my blog will know that these last few days have been full of 'what ifs......'

And look I'm still here and all is well!!!!!!

LOL

;)

I can be a bit of a nervous head sometimes..... I rethink things over  a zillion times and end up coming up with all sorts of crazy scenarios!!! Though one good thing that does come out of these 'moments' is a sparkling house!

I honestly get a cleaning attack and this afternoon i scrubbed, polished and swept the house nearly to its foundations!!!

I bought these trousers in the 'January sales', though it was actually Christmas Eve!!!  I loved them, but was a bit stuck with what to wear on my tootsies....

I figured they would look nice with heels, but as you will have noticed, with these Lisbon cobbles, it's not so often i wear them.  Anyway today we had an occasion that fitted smart shoes, so i finally got to wear the trousers.  Then of course i got....... well what top.....  The last time i wore this leopard one i was about 7 months pregnant!!!   Thus the bit of 'give' that you can probably see around the tummy area!

By the way if anyone can enlighten me as to why i can not follow/add people on my google friend connect you will forever be my friend!!!  I have these lovely people following me but i can't follow them back as it just comes up as ERROR....... So I'd be delighted if anyone knew why?!!!

Thank you

and

Sweet dreams

Love a stress head, polished, TIRED!!!!

Mission 'Casio' Accomplished!!

Yeah!!!! 

Finally i got it and I'm super, super happy!!!!!!

After much deliberation, dragging myself around shops and ogling it through the shop windows, i eventually came to the conclusion that i did 'NEED' it!

So i am now a proud owner of this gold Casio watch!

Though now i have to remind myself that i am wearing it, seeing as last night at my friend's house for dinner i made the fatal error of asking the time!!!!!

Doh, i was the only one wearing a watch!!

Oh gosh, i may have dark hair now, but i certainly fell into the 'blonde joke' category with that one!!!

My excuse is that I've never accessorized with a watch ;)

I'll get the hang of it!!!

Hahaha

I absolutely love the Pamela Love Talon Cuff, so when i found this necklace the other day in H&M, i instantly fell in love!

Have a sunny Sunday
