Casual dressing

I thought I'd wear my French Connection cargo style trousers that I thrifted in Eastbourne for £3, with a plain black top and sandals. I like these trousers as they have a tab to keep the roll ups up and they also are good just straight down too. I'm off to the park soon with the boys and a friend and her son. These trousers are my only casual pair, except for jeans. I am very fussy about trousers, which is why I don't own very many-apart from jeans, only 4 pairs, this pair and 3 black ones.

Haha, the husband thought it would be funny to capture a close up, thankfully I can't see any spots on show today!!

Supermarket Surprise!!

Todays outfit is a dress that I found in the Salvation Army last week and what drew me to it was the berry colours-very inspirational for Autumn. It can be worn with flat sandals in summer and I will wear it with tights, boots and a cardi in Autumn and Winter!!

When I first saw it I thought it was vintage, but on looking at the label it is by 'TU' which is Sainsburys supermarket fashion label! I really didn't want any more dresses, but the colour is so Autumnal, it will be a versatile item in my wardrobe, now my summer dresses have been laundered and stored away! Plus, for only £3.50, I couldn't say no!!

Legoland Trip

Saturday was my and Robert's trip to Legoland. Thankfully, we had a glorious day, in weather and fun!!! My outfit choice for the day was a mix of new purchases-my purple Uniqlo cardigan and this really unusual skull print t shirt dress that was in the Salvation Army last week for only £1.75!! I paired this with my Uniqlo leggings and comfy gold espadrilles!!

We got there about 11am and it was sunny and very busy indeed!! Be prepared for lots of pictures, which show off the wonderful land of Lego, which is in the heart of Windsor, Berkshire.

Lokis Labyrinth, Land of the Vikings


Spining Spider, Land of the Vikings-wow, was I dizzy when I got off this!!

This was a 30 minutes wait to get on to!

Lego Creation Centre

At Traffic-Robert took his driving test and got his lego drivers licence here!!

Here at Adventure land, it took 90 minutes to eventually get on Wave Surfer, whch lasted a whole 4 minutes-yaaay!!

Explorers Institute

Here at Lego City we watched a show called Johnny Thunder!!

This photo is from google.com-The iphone ran out of battery, but I just had to show you how excellent this part of MiniLand was-London was totally recreated, from Canary Wharf upto Buckingham Palace!!!

We had a fantastic time-Robert brought home some Indiana Jones Lego, which he has built already! Legoland is a really fun place to go for adults and children alike!

Hectic Week

Its been quite a hectic week really-I wasn't too well Tuesday, but on Wednesday we bit the bullet and decided to finally tackle redecorating our bedroom. My dear hubby completely redecorated on Wednesday and then did the flooring yesterday, so we were back in for last night-yaay!!

I'm so pleased and its a job we've been putting off but now its done, I love it-the walls are in 'soft truffle' a mix between a soft grey beige lilac-very nice and subtle. With new flooring and bedding it just feels so sumptious and fresh now!!

So today I've spent just pottering around and tidying up, washing, etc. So no major outfits. My mum in law got me a pair of Converse all stars on Tuesday, so I thought I'd try them with my jeans rolled up! Tomorrow, Robert and myself are off to Legoland, so no post until Sunday!!

Have a lovely weekend, everyone!!
