Monday morning blues-jeans and jacket!!

It was very windy and dull this morning-hey, whats new for the beginning of August-which is why I look a bit fed up and windswept-haha!!

Due to the ever changing weather we are having, todays outfit is the blazer I bought recently-it is navy with white hearts all over it and navy heart buttons, It is by Jaeger and was £2 at the boot sale. The long line grey vest top is by Gap, about £3, from the charity shop.


The jeans are low slouch widelegged jeans by Levi's and were £5 from the charity shop. Because the weather is so up and down, I'm fed up of floral dresses and starting to think more of Autumn. I went thrifting earlier, hoping to bag something in red tartan, but nothing doing. I didn't come back empty handed as I got a black shoulder bag by Carven, a slip, a short suit (romper!) for Eastbourne next week and a silk top by Gap.

Latest Ebay buys!!

My latest Ebay purchases came in the post yesterday and I'm soo pleased with both-especially as they fit well-thats the only downside to buying online!!

It has the trademark Leonard tropical flowering and colours and is in exquisite condition. It has gorgeous sleeves and is made in a silk jersey, with Leonard printed randomly over the material. It is short, so I will wear it with either ankle length leggings and heels, or opaque thick tights or with trousers and then loosely belted to give it a tunic feel!!

This is a vintage 70s Trina Lewis Marjon Couture dress, which I got for less than £10-a steal, I think!! It is in excellent condition and I wanted a red dress and a prom style, so a vintage bargain that had to be snapped up!! I said a little while ago I wasn't going to buy from Ebay for a while-that so went out the window!!! Never publicly announce something you intend to do-from my experience the exact opposite happened and on more than one occasion!! But to be fair too, I don't regret any of the Ebay buys (about 4 in the last month!) so thats a good thing too!!

Savvy inspired outfit!!

First thing in the morning, I have my cup of tea, tidy the bedrooms and come and do some blogging. I love this time of day, it gives me a chance to get up to date with everyone plus I get some great inspiration too.
Well, thanks to Savvy Gal's latest post, I thought I would give my maxi skirt a different look and try it as a dress, belted up.

I thrifted a lovely vintage cardi on Tuesday-I think it is ideal with my dress/skirt!!

Thanks for inspiring todays outfit, Savvy Gal!!!

A day in Greenwich, London

Today, we all had a wonderful day out in Greenwich. This is such a beautiful place and if you visit London, should be a must, as not only is it steeped in history, it also has a gorgeous park and markets (Friday-Sundays generally) and if you are in Central London, it's easy to take a river cruise down to visit Greenwich and its wonderful Naval history.

Of course, I'm still on a floral-fest, so it had to be the Ossie Clark for todays outing!!

This is in front of the Old Royal Naval College-just before this we had a lovely picnic lunch, courtesy of Marks and Spencers yummy sandwiches and desserts!! Sadly, the Cutty Sark is being restored, so no photos of this, but me, Christopher and Robert didn't need asking twice to go on the Greenwich Wheel, a similiar version to the London Eye! I think this one is better-less queues-well no queues for us today, the wheel goes faster and you are in more of a private pod, plus it goes around a total of 4 times-we loved it-here are the gorgeous views!!

My gorgeous two young men!!


Greenwich Pier

Once we departed from the Greenwich Wheel, we headed for the park and up the hill to the Royal Observatory, which is home of Greenwich Mean Time and the famous Prime Meridian of the World. It is also a museum of time and astronomy and the Planetarium is here too, though we didn't get to go in.

Taking a pitstop at the top of the hill-the gang!!

Gorgeous views of Canary Wharf and the River Thames!!


The Prime Meridian of the World


After our visit here, there is a lovely little coffee shop at the entrance to the park, where we had coffee and cola floats!! A lovely end to our visit to Greenwich!!
