Things I’ve been loving this month…
I hate posting this late. It's totally at odds with my OCD tendencies but Mr. LA had to take the laptop to London with him. I felt like I'd lost an arm. On the plus side, the lack of Internet access transformed me into a highly productive individual and I managed to...
The joys of motherhood No.3: Milestones
Baby Jesse in his Halloween t-shirt!I can't believe my baby boy is almost 6 months old! Over the last month he has hit several milestones in fairly quick succession and I thought I'd share a few cute pics with you all (I know... somewhat self-indulgent post, but I...
Saturday’s OOTD
Yep. It's another skirt! I'm sure this used to fit me a bit better. It doesn't seem to sit on my waist properly anymore. I fear that constantly breastfeeding the boy may have taken my post-pregnancy weight loss a little too far.Ribbed grey vest worn underneath long...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Eating Domino's Pizza. Yum!Helping my daughter with her school project. The class teddy bear goes home with a different child every weekend. You have to document its adventures in its very own diary. My daughter loved doing this... I don't remember having such fun...
Where there are books, there is freedom.
I shamelessly stole the title of this post from Ondine. She managed to reignite my passion for literature. I guess, it had been beaten out of me after 3 years of studying for my degree and engaging solely in academic (and predominantly non-fiction) reading.I headed...
Positivity
I've noticed that recently there has been a lot of 'positive thinking' going on in the blogosphere. From the brilliant '5 good things' series to Thanksgiving inspired 'what are you thankful for' posts, it seems everyone is keen to spread a bit of good karma around at...
OOTD and a Huge Fashion Weakness.
I actually managed to figure out the timer function on my camera so I could take some full length pictures. Excuse the headless nature of said images... I was looking slightly dishevelled above the neck, having just completed the school run in the wind and rain!What...
Up/Down
Going Up...My little sister joining in the blogging fun. She's been going through a bit of a tough time and I suggested that blogging might provide her with a means of expressing some of the thoughts and feelings whirling round in her head... after all, you can blog...
Because a girl can never have too much nail varnish!
I picked these beauties up a couple of weeks ago. L-R we have Revlon 'Steel Her Heart' (cute name huh?), OPI 'I'm Not Really a Waitress' (which I picked up purely because I was a waitress) and China Glaze 'Ruby Pumps'.I've mentioned my love for Revlon nail polish...
The things I’m dreaming about right now… No.4
A few beauty related items to add to my list! Revlon Matte - I already own three items from this range (the ivory and dark blue eye shadows and a lipstick in the shade 'Pink About It') and I love them. I noticed they have added some new shades to the range of e/s. A...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Eating Italian food and toasting my Dad. Frantically organising everything for Baby J's Naming Ceremony. Getting up very early to defrost all the party food. Getting glammed up with my sister. Panicking about my winged eye-liner, removing most of it and doing it...
We miss you
My Dad. 23rd Nov 1954 - 20th Nov 2005 Loveaudrey...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Feeling grateful for uninterrupted sleep.Making eggy bread for breakfast.Sharing a shower with my boyfriend!Panic buying birthday presents for one of my daughter's classmates.Painting my daughter's nails in (as per her request) Barry M Silver and China Glaze Ruby...
Lancome Goodies!
Thanks to Baby J and Christmas shopping I managed to amass an obscene amount of Boots Advantage Card points. It seemed only fair that I redeemed them against something beautiful and exciting for myself. So last week I wandered over to the Lancome counter and splurged...
FOTD: Sleek ‘Storm’ palette and my favourite berry lips!
The weather has been absolutely miserable this weekend. It's rained almost constantly and the wind has been rattling round outside the house. Days like today always remind me of Winnie the Pooh and 'The Blustery Day' when Owl's house gets blown away!This was my first...
Saturday Night Dita
Because I never, ever get bored of looking at pictures of her.Loveaudrey...
Great Stems
I mentioned in my last post that I've developed a bit of a hosiery addiction. I think a pair of great tights can really add interest to an outfit, either making a bold statement in themselves or by tying other elements of an ensemble together. They also offer a cheap...
The things I’m dreaming about right now… No. 3
I picked up the gorgeous dress from my previous list (it will be appearing very soon in an OOTD post as I'm planning on wearing to my son's naming ceremony next weekend). I decided against the ridiculous heels. I couldn't walk in them and when the SA said she thought...
Haven’t we met before?
As I was admiring this young lady's fabulous style this morning it suddenly struck me that I've seen the current trend for over-the-knee-socks somewhere before... Boy did I love this film! I think I knew the whole script by heart and I certainly longed to have a...
Up/Down
Going Up...The Boots Advantage Card event. I just spent too much money but I got a few more Xmas presents sorted and then had over £50 worth of points to spend. I blew it all on Lancome goodies. The SA was kind enough to throw in loads of samples too.Finally getting...
