15th July 2012

Asda George blazer (not on the website, but I saw this in the in-store sale yesterday!), Lilac lace dress from Glamorous, Tesco tights and Poetic License shoes from TK Maxx.

I wore this to work on Friday 13th, which depsite my fears based on how the week had been going, wasn’t too unlucky!
This dress always gets so many compliments, people seem to love the colour (and rightly so). The blazer also attracted it’s fair share of attention, I don’t think I’ve ever had so many patients comment on what I am wearing!

About to kick back and enjoy a relaxing Sunday. Weather aside, Trudi and I had a fabulous time celebrating her Birthday during the day and I expect I will catch all the gossip from her night out too!

What have you got up to this weekend?

Sarenza Shoe of the Week

15th July 2012

Marcela by Miista (currently reduced to £78 from £130) are the perfect solution to wearing sandals in this wet and miserable weather.

The top half gives the traditional strappy sandal look whilst the super platform prevents soggy feet. Miista may be a fairly new brand but they have made a BIG impression on myself and many other bloggers. I actually came to own my first pair in the last week; but more on that in another post.
Right now I urge you to snap these babies up…and check out the other Miista styles in the Sarenza Sale; they won’t be hanging around for long! They might not be rock bottom prices but trust me…they are worth every single penny.

14th July 2012

I mention her a lot on the blog under the guise of “Best Friend”. Well Best Friend (also known as Trudi) turns 25 today and I want to publically humilate her/show my gratitude by wishing her a very, very HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

This girl is a legend. An utter legend. More like a family member than a friend, she has put up with more than anyone should (many would have walked away) and taken it all in her stride.

So, Trudi; you girl racer, black belt wielding, kind and caring gem of a friend, I wish you nothing but the happiest of happy days

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for everything…another 50 years and it’ll be Zimmer Frame races down the halls.
