My driving history is somewhat of a standing joke amongst family and friends; I was the first out of my school friends (I believe) to start taking lessons, on the day of my 17th Birthday. 8 years on I am yet to be driving, whilst the later starters have been on the road for quite some time!
Five failed tests, 18 months in to my driving career I decided it might be best to take a bit of a break; this has actually been a far longer break than I anticipated (the driving instructors and examiners are rejoicing) but finally I feel like I’m at a point where I both want, and need to drive.

So why aren’t I? The simple answer is money. The cost of lessons, the cost of a car…the trial of having to compare car insurance (when I am clueless) and please don’t get me started on the cost of petrol, almost having a fit when I see friends and family fill their tanks!

And so I am torn…on one hand I am totally content to use the legs I was born with and scrounge lifts when needed,
but on the other hand I am fed up of always having to rely on others, needing colleagues to get me to work, not being able to go anywhere further than my town when I want to get out and if I ever want to leave home then I really do need wheels.

What would you do? Drivers, do you have any tips for me? Non-drivers, what is your stance on this?

To drive or not to drive…that is the question, and I NEED an answer.

You’ve no doubt seen adverts for chic brand The Kooples, and probably, like myself, lusted after a fair few of their minimalist yet undoubtedly chic pieces…well, I bring good news for you!

Vente-Privee will be holding a FLASH SALE for the brand.

The Kooples ad campaigns feature real-life couples outfitted in sharp and tailored suits which has made the brand unique and vente-privee.com has produced its campaign similarly.

I really hope I am quick enough to snag some bargains! I’m especially after this dress, which will be featured during the sale!

I’ve never used Vente-Privee so I’d love to hear your thoughts….

other than that….I’ll be fighting you for the must have pieces!

As someone with no plans for the Jubilee whatsoever (clearly my street doesn’t go in for parties) I was delighted when George at Asda got in touch asking if I’d like to take part in a blogger picnic. At first I had grand plans to throw a picnic out in the garden, but then the weather turned and it became a conservatory tea for one instead.

As part of the celebration, we were asked to pick a dress to represent a decade of the Queen’s reign. Being a tall girl with a penchant for all things swishy, I opted for this stunning maxi dress with 1970s summer of love in my mind. I teamed the dress with my blue suede wedges by Dune and settled down to drink tea from a celebration cup and saucer.

It should also be noted that Asda sent THE most beautiful selection of fudges…I left the plastic wrapping on as they were to be saved for a later date, but you can still marvel at the beauty!

What are you doing, if anything to celebrate the Jubilee? A lot of streets local to me are holding parties and everywhere you look (except for my road) there is bunting and flags galore! Clearly I live in an area of spoilsports…or it’s a sign that if you want something doing, you should damn well do it yourself!
