Awards and Elle freebie

Many thanks to Lenya, The Fashion Loving Stylist for this award. Many people come and go in our blogworld, so its great when you do have a loyal following of your blog!

I'm passing this on to:

The gorgeous WendyB, who's been with me since near on day one

Silje, another fave blogger who I've known for over a year too

La Mimi, a lovely young lady with a fabulous blog who does great interviews

Kate, Make Do Style, another long term lovely who I'm pleased is back with great posts on her Make Do Style blog

Anika, AfricanTeaParty, a fairly new blog that is one of my definite favourites-I love her style!

The new edition of Elle UK for July came out on Friday, I quickly snapped it up for this free Urban Outfitters canvas tote bag.

Get your copy soon, the tote bags come in this colour, white or nautical stripes!!

Online Shopping

Last year, Uniqlo produced some tops by the legendary artist Jean Michel Basquiat. The ones I have from last year you can see here.

So, I was pleased to see Uniqlos new range this year, so I quickly snapped these two up.

These are a welcome addition to my wardrobe-limited edition and you can never have too many tee shirts!! I decided to wear the beige one with my new denim 'jeggings' from the market:

I really recommend Uniqlos tess, they wash and wear well and the designs are really unique, as well as very reasonably priced.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Rocking Stars and Stripes

The lovely Couture Carrie did a fabulous patriotic post on Stars and Stripes, Check it out for some fabulous picks of all things American!

Its half term this week, so I'm generally having a relaxing time and that calls for a casual outfit. In the spirit of her post, I thought I'd wear my tee from the boot sale this weekend-its an authentic 'Hard Rock Cafe, Los Angeles' tee which was only 50p.

I'm wearing it with jeans and my boyfriend style cardi (£3), both picked up from the charity shop and boot sale a while ago.

Unfortunately the sun has disappeared, typical British weather, LOL! Hope you are all having a great week too!!

Award and Tag

I was given this fab award from Looking Fab in your Forties-thanks so much and also this tag too!!

Three Things I can't stand

1. That we don't get sun here in the UK on a very regular basis!!

2. Anchovies and Capers-Haven't tried them and don't want to either!

3. Always falling asleep midway through a film at night once the kids are in bed!


Three Random Things

1. Whats on your bedside table? - Digital Radio, alarm clock, glasses when I'm asleep, ear plugs for when hubby snores!

2. Last thing I bought - My Hard Rock Cafe Los Angeles tee at the boot sale on Sunday for 50p.

3. Guilty Pleasure - The Wild Berry Mocha Frappuchino, with whipped cream of course-the novelty of its still not worn off!

4. If you could only shop online from one retailer, which one would it be? Ebay-or is that cheating, LOL!

I tag and pass on the above award to-

Sunshine in hues of grey

The weekend has been a scorcher so far weatherwise and it was warm enough at 7.30am to go bare sleeved to the boot sale yesterday

I'm wearing a Topshop grey short sleeve fluffy angora mix cardi, that I picked up for only £3.99 at Cancer Research charity shop last month. I've also got on a grey tunic from Oasis that was from the boot sale, 50p and my new grey leggings from Primark, £6.

The boot sale and gorgeous weather had brought everyone out-it was massive and took me a good couple of browsing hours to get round!!

Bargains of the day were a vintage 80s Radley turquoise blue dress and jacket for £2, a Hard Rock Cafe Los Angeles tee for 50p and for little Robert, a WWE tee for 50p-his new phase is wrestling now, LOL!
