Top to Toe Stripes...

So, as seaside holidays approach and tiredness increases my subconscious must be thinking nautical... that and fresh air, books, time to finish a cup of tea (whilst still hot), family fun, frolics and fish & chips!

Putting a Spring in my Step...

Its so tempting to chuck on a tracksuit, grab a coffee and sink into a Monday. Ok, so I alway grab a coffee or two... but today I ditched the tracksuit in favour of these AMAZING Terry de Havilland shoes - and who would blame me, so awesome to look at and equally as awesome to wear - certainly put a spring in my step!

A nod to Ibiza...

Whilst debating whether we can grab a quick weekend to Ibiza (or run away forever to a hot country!) it seemed only right to make a nod to the inner hippy...

And sandals on!!!! And not just any sandals but the first of my new Terry de Havilland sample sale shoes - Yipppee for the great weather (Although lets be honest - I was going to wear them whatever! And yes I have been known to put clear plastic bags of my feet and shoes when it rains to protect them - And yes they steam up!)

Terry de Havilland Sample Sale...

So today was the, yes The Terry de Havilland sample sale. I contemplated not going (crazy) but having had the fantastic opportunity to meet the awesome gentleman and his equally fantastic wife Liz (they really are fantastic, kind, generous and inspiring!) I knew I was the same size as a sample size (scream - awesome!! - well I did).

Drive to school.
9am drop Mushroom at school (gave him a kiss and ran!)
9.15am Cab straight to town.
9.45am Waiting outside the store (Second from left - top left photo!!)
10am Enter (Near mental break down)
Purchase.
10.30am Frozen yogurt (Trying to re-enter earth...)
11am Cab back to school

Still trying to breath...

Tomorrow I will share the fantastic shoes I was able to get my hands on (rip out of others - joke!) but for today I want to be selfish and have them to myself (Its an addiction).

Pediculosis Capitis & Horses...

The advantages of taking a child to nursery are enormous. Socialisation for example, development, immunity to bugs... well lets stop there!
Due to 'bugs' or lets say Pediculosis Capitis I have my head drenched in Hedrin (For the first time in my life I'm praying - it'll work). According to the instructions we have to repeat after 7 days and then 'they' should have gone - which is just what I need as I have an invite (and a 2 hour window) to hit the fabulous Terry de Havilland sample sale!
As I recently (and probably incorrectly as a parent) pointed out to said 3 year old, 'sharing is not always caring...'
Please note my fabulous novelty knit jumper, that and the fact I have a pair of Acne boots winging there way to me this evening is making this slightly more bearable...
