Day Two - The Five Day Accessory Challenge

So, Day Two of the challenge and we've decided to get our challenge bids a name/theme.  Apologies for lack of great lighting for the images.  Our office storeroom at lunchtime is not really equipped for photo shoots so will have to think of a better venue for our spring challenge (yes we are already thinking forward!)

So, first Chrissie with her 'pretty in pink collection'
metallics and blush colours adorning the wrists


necklace giving a hit of pink

bargain shoeboots from Tesco providing a bit of a blush


nude bag completing the neutral tones.

My collection was 'you can always bet on red'. Red accessories completing a monochrome shift dress from Monsoon bought about three years ago.

Birkin inspired bag from Debenhams and six year old heels from Dorothy Perkins




Red belt and beads from Monsoon (had about three years)

Red rose earrings bought in San Fransisco 2009
What we've found about the challenge so far is that its adding on extra minutes to our morning routines and I'm already struggling to plan an outfit.  I definitely have got into a working wardrobe style rut!

Looks like you girls are having great fun! Yes, I admit, I'm in a "working wardrobe style rut" for sure. Thanks for giving me a little inspiration.

Spotted on the street

Image
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

Image
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...
