Never Plan Anything

Hello, Everyone :) I just wanted to give you guys a quick shoutout and say that all the posts I have planned for this week, will be on hold due to the fact that I am sick as a dog. 
But do keep checking back as I will get back to posting the minute I feel better

Monthly Fashion Picks

Hello, Everyone :)
Welcome to (drumroll please....) ''Fashion Week'' :) I love fashion, but I love finding stylish pieces that will last and fit for years and years even more. It's all about style once you pass that 24 years old mark I think, because usually by this time you have experimented enough to have found what works and what doesn't for you. If you are still searching then there is nothing wrong with that too. Have fun with fashion, mix it up and do try new things every now and then :) And where do I go for those new trend buys I think I need...Missguided...
I think if you have been reading my blog for a while, then you know how much I love this super affordable on-line fashion retailer. The quality is so good and the fashion is on trend. But even if you're not into edgy new fashion pieces there are lots of classic items like cigarette pants and shirts, awesome footwear and amazing accessories to choose from. So I will try (I'm not going to promise :D) to bring to you my favourite pieces from Missguided every month...
And here are this months picks :)

So I seem to be obsessed with Khaki, Navy blue and grey. And that is absolutely ok with me :D I'm also gravitating towards really chunky cardigans and really tight dresses :D Maybe a few more weeks in the gym and I will treat myself to one of these beautiful bodycon dresses :)
Hope you enjoyed my little Missguided picks
Stay tuned

End Of

Hello, Everyone :)
It's another end of another week. I know it's really Tuesday, but when you are a stay at home mother you can set your own week endings and starts, or that is what I'd like to think. The week ending I'm really talking about is the Holiday Week...on blog it didn't really go that well. But I'm actually quite excited to end it so I can start another one, that will hopefully go a bit better.
But as a finishing treat, here are a little video and a few more pictures from our time in Cabo Verde :)


I love this little video of Oscar. He stops and poses for Dan to take a photo of him and then continues with his little walk :) So freakin sweeeeeeet :)
This is one of the pictures I actually absolutely hated, because I just felt I look so massive and it was just one of those why meeee? moments with this one. Then I realised that I am actually not massive, I'm just next to a 1 year old and a skinny guy :D SO I figured I'll just put this picture out in the world to remind me to be less critical about myself.
The amount of pain we went through to find these swimming outfits for Oscar. They are from Debenhams and cost a fare wack with about £20 for each (we got 2)but they were so worth it in the end. Oscar hated when we tried putting sun cream on him, so it was good that most of his body was already protected with this spf40 suit :)
YES I look like a twat, but I wanted a picture with the massive waves :D I mean they were huge. The red flag was up most days because these waves would take  a grown man down and under. And they were also very loud. The bikini is again Roxy :)

Anyway, I do hope you have enjoyed a few little snippets from our first long haul family holiday to the hot Cape Verde. And as always, Stay tuned :)
