Strutting Jacket

Its been a while since I had a bit of fun with my outfit so I brought out the 'Strutting Jacket'. Also known as the 'Getting Over Frankie Jacket'. Yes Frank, your rejection cost me £12 at C&A. And yes I do strut! Even though it was a boiling hot day when I bought this jacket I put it on immediately and strutted my way down the high street. And according to my beloved I still do this today.

Before you say it, it is NOT bad luck to open your umbrella indoors. It is a necessity so that it airs out and doesn't rust! And yes I finally succumbed to the double denim, something I swore I'd never do even in the 80's. But its alright as well as sticking to the general rule of two different colours I have my own rule. Double denim is ok so long as you have a colour to break it up. That does not mean coloured denim people. I will never go there again! (I say now.)

I wore this out whilst admiring the 'Super Dragons' in Newport yesterday and the gorgeous umbrella came in very handy (Another birthday present, thank you Becky). We didn't get round very many cos it was wet and we are lazy. Hopefully we'll get round to see the others before they are ruined (or in the case of one, illegally removed).



This is one of my favourites but then I am biased. The artist is my good friend Dom and I'm already a fan of his stuff.

Birthday

Okay so my Birthday was right at the start of the month but it took me at least a week to recover from. I haven't got an excuse for the rest of the time its taken me to update this - post birthday blues perhaps? Any who.

It was all brand new treasures in honour of my birthday and the outfit just got added to as the party went on. Not the most practical of dresses when your playing the hostess with the mostess. its very hard to carry things and use stairs with a skirt this long but I managed it.



My Mum bought me this dress and I managed to choose it in the very first shop we went in. Yes even I was amazed and I think my Mum was grateful to have avoided the usual mammoth shopping trip.

Bangles and necklace added later were from my littlest sister and the silver bracelet (just seen) is from my lovely friend Samantha.



I thought the party was a success although I should have just put all the food out at once at the rate it was being eaten and have done with it. I expected to be left with mounds of food cos I did loads but I only had enough left for a couple of burritos the next day. Largely everyone was knackered having worked on the Maindee festival all day so a lot of people left reasonable early. Well I assume they did. I didn't check my watch because my energy levels seem to be directly related to the time so if I know how late it is I'll want to go straight to bed. In the end I was up until 4 playing Rock Band.

Oh I forgot to mention the wonderbra. I also got that for my birthday and this is the first time I wore it properly. It. Is. Amazing. However I think it may be one of the only things in the universe I am allergic to. Bummer. After I wore it I had a red rash where the seams were for about to days. My Mum suggested I was allergic to latex, however I pointed out to her that I'm pretty sure I would have noticed by now! ;-) . I 'm gonna see how it goes after a few washes.

Alice in Wonderland?

First day back at work - ugh! I think I looked a little dressy and I certainly caused a stir but it was a really fun look.

Shame the pictures so lame. I was going for the white queen from Alice and Wonderland but think I come off as crazy lady trying to fly. Meh!

This is another dress I bought with the intention of being a day to night dress and yet again this is the first time I have worn it in the day time. In fact I'm pretty sure this is only the second time I've worn it since a bought it over a year ago.

This is my night time look from April 2009.


It was a silent disco in case you were wondering. Awesome night - must do it again. There is nothing funnier than seeing a room full of people dancing and singing to two different songs that you can't hear. Lol.
