Hello there! I'm off work today, my lovely mum is getting married tomorrow so we're having a pamper day in preparation! We're getting our nails done at 2pm then I'm having my hair trimmed. Tonight I'm going out for food and to the cinema. Such a lovely day planned! Tomorrow is the big day - so excited! Anyway, here's mine for today:

Skinny jeans (River Island via eBay, £7)
White and navy striped jersey top (Topshop, £16)
Red cardi
Black patent pumps with gold detail
Long chunky gold beads
Navy blue ribbon headband with flower (I'm wearing this straight across my head in a 60s flower girl style)

Happy Friday!

Dove grey cardi with detailing round buttons - Monsoon

Chunky grey and black quartz ring - from a lovely stall at the Chatsworth Christmas fair last year
Little drop moonstone earrings - no idea!

What a fab outfit, RainyWednesday.

Gorgeous day today. I've been swimming and had a quick mooch around town although after the tremendous bargains i got from yesterday's jumble sale the charity shops were a tad dissapointing. Had a great night of sales on eBay last night and have a pile of things to wrap. Shall do some listing this afternoon then hit the town later.

At the moment I'm wearing:

My favourite Van Allen Maxi dress in green cotton with psychedellic floral print which I bought from eBay over 3 years ago. The lady I bought it from purchased it with her grant money in 1971 and wore it to the Isle Of Wight Festival. Since it's travelled to many festivals with me and even been clubbing in Mumbai - they don't make them liked they used to. I've had lots of compliments from ladies of a certain age telling me how feminine and pretty I look in it!

Leather studded gladiators (50p car boot sale)
Vintage tooled leather saddle bag (£1 charity shop)
Usual Indian silver tribal jewellery
Oversized vintage sunglasses (part of my collection)

Have a groovy friday!

Nice day here too, although I'm stuck at work so I can only appreciate how nice it is through the window!

I so did not want to get up this morning, and got up half an hour later than I should have done, so consequently today I am wearing:
slouch jeans (New Look £6 sale)
black loose t-shirt (New Look £4)
ancient old brown leather belt (pinched it from my dad :rotfl:)
spotty scarf round hair (didn't have time to wash it, see above!)
Benetton green suede flats with applique flowers - had to be comfy shoes today as yesterday's pinched my toes quite badly and I've got a blister.

GrammarGirl, hope you have a fab day tomorrow.

Its getting cold. DH is home, and cooking (ok,I did starers and puddings, but thats done). We're having sme friends over and I'm freshly bathed and relaxed, not trying to keep my makeup from melting in a hot kitchen. Luxury!

So, they are good friends, relaxed, we can dress as us, no refining. I'm wearing a no longer good enough for proper evening wear (one of my made it to houseclothes evening wear items) green taffeta skirt (has/d a separate bustier) with thick warm heathery purple boot socks and because I can't find the long sleeved v neck t skirt I wanted I'm wearing a black vest and tie front cardigan with it, its just cold enough. I've been experimenting making head/hair bands, with nckalaces I'm not wearing, and I have a multicoloured Murano bead one in my hair now (its ok, but it catches a bit), with murano glass ear studs, my wedding ring, a multicoloured glass cocktail ring and a swirly link and clear Murano ring. For OrangeProse to have some male company DH is wearing red cords, a sort of mushroom coloured and silver long sleeved t and (at the moment at least) a red hat the wears in the house at winter.

Although its been a beautiful day there is a distinct chill in the air, and our dining room is not a warm room, so we're lighting a fire! Perfect friends and relaxed supper evening.
