What a wash out - the weekend part 2


From left, Linzi and Tara
VERY DELAYED POST DUE TO TECHICAL PROBLEMS IE I DIDNT PRESS PUBLISH!!
 I can't believe how busy I've been this week and I've had little access to Internet (meaning no blogging or viewing your lovely blogs). Why can't the British Premiership football matches be broadcast on BBC rather than having to have a near epic search for an Internet radio broadcast! 

So how was your weekend? Well for me it was Super Soccer Sunday that completed the weekend.  The wash-out could be referencing the weather or the football results, whichever way you want to view it.  Well lets start with the football, Liverpool lost against Manchester United, sadly my husband was very disappointed (I have abridged the full reaction to the result to save those of a nervous disposition). Then Blackpool played the Giants of the premiership, sadly losing the match.  It still feels amazing to know that Blackpool is playing these teams and doing quite well.  The atmosphere in the pub was electric, the tension indescribable. I am disappointed that there is still no sign of premier shops coming to Blackpool, I would quite happily settle for Nandos!

So the weather was rainy, I mean that's the polite way to term it; there were sporadic showers, light rain (you know, that soaks you through) or torrential rain, the equivalent to a mini-monsoon on the Blackpool streets.  I can dress for snow, sun, and windy weather, but I can never plan an outfit to combat the rain.  I also am one of those people whose hair resembles a scarecrows, once the rain and humidity kicks in.  Hence no photo of me enjoying Super Soccer Sunday (SSS), but I have posted a picture of my friend and one of my sisters who had no hair malfunctions during SSS. 

I know I should be prepared for this weather, to be honest it feels like we've been dressing for Autumn since about July!

I'm now coveting these grey shoe boots that Tara got  from M and;S, a bargain at £35. It's just a pity that she's a size 5!  This weekend, I will be packing away my sandals, wedges and flip flops and preparing for Autumn - have you started getting ready?

Ladies I've just started to get down my 'winter boxes' from the Attic to dig out my winter stuff. I like this because I forget what I have stored there. Hope you are having a good weekend! xxx

Spotted on the street

Today, I was 'spotted on the street', well I suppose you could say spotted in the mirror! I've been meaning to do a post on the boots I own but just haven't got round to doing one yet.  So today, as I've started walking to work due to my car being very poorly. The need to get my dogs Jasper and Harvey to and from doggy-day care (my mum's but didn't it just for one second sound like I was Paris Hilton!) means I needed some boots that were made for walking. I usually buy a pair of boots every couple of years, I like to try and find a boot with some detailing that could resemble the vintage footwear like buckles or button detailing.  This pair were one of my last boot purchases bought from Barratts, for around £70, in December 2008 for my planned wedding and honeymoon in Vegas and San Francisco.  Funny story though, I thought I would save these boots for the holidays and choose to leave them in the box untouched until March when I'd be jettin...

where do I start?

I've been neglecting my blog for the past few weeks while I've been suffering from a horrible chest infection.  I've just not had the energy to research shoes and window shop the latest that the high street has to offer. So now I'm dosing up on medicine and determined to get myself back on track. To help kick start my research, I've treated myself to some magazines, including the latest InStyle magazine, with the fabulous Dannii Minogue gracing the front cover. She is one of my favourite style crushes, especially after last year's X Factor.  In my humble opinion, she definitely won the X-Factor fashion crown! In the Style Candy section, they've listed a lovely pair of shoes available at asos.com that meet the nude trend while tickling your fancy with a feather embellishment. These would be lovely for a summer wedding or perhaps a day at the races.  Although I would be quite happy wearing them while doing my ironing! I've learnt  ...

Goodbye 2010

As the door to one year closes, another opens Well 2010 is coming to a close.  It's been a mixed bag of a year: a new government in place, Royal Wedding announcements and the plight on miners trapped underground gripped the world.  For me, there were two significant milestones - my first wedding anniversary and the first year since my sister underwent treatment for cancer with an all-clear (we will have five years of these yearly milestones to go through).  In addition, one of my best friends had her first baby and my cousin got engaged on Christmas Day so we have had a couple of great events, which has made a real change from the last couple of years! This has also been my first year as a blogger, so I wanted to say thank your for popping by my blog, leaving comments and all your support.  I've really enjoyed blogging and hope to continue developing my blog in the year to come. I'm not sure what the new year will bring but I can only wish tha...
