Holiday - A week later...


So a week after our holiday and what we are we left with... Actually, as exhausting as holidays can be (especially with kids!) we have come home and a week later we are still utilising our holiday - Mushroom is insisting on a siesta after school! and I am now nearly two weeks into giving up refined sugar! I'm no saint and my reasons were as follows -
Adult acne (Hormones / chin)
Wrinkles (I'm not shallow...)
But as hard as it is (It is!) and I can't see how it can get better, I am happy to say that the acne has made a marked improvment and although the wrinkles are still there (the ones not ousted by Botox) I have had some great comments about how well I look!
Now if I could just fit a siesta in...

Dress - Mind Charity Shop,
 Sweatshirt - ASOS (Husbands seconds - cut down to size. Jersey doesn't fray),
 Shoes - Mui Mui  (Outlet - Tuscany), Necklace - Ibiza

Recycled Wedding Dress...


Sometimes I like to make stuff - simple as that. However with time restraints (and a lack of concentration) I like a simple fix (sad but honest).
So, as I grabbed my 30 second fix in the local charity shop I spied the above wedding dress and it struck me as a pretty dress. - rather in need of wearing (but not even I could or would pull the wedding dress look off, without looking even more odder than perhaps I normally do). So for a fiver I bought the said dress and with the simple aid of a pair of kitchen scissors I cut the sleeves out. Then I attacked the bottom frill, after which I lay the dress on the floor, roughly marked how short the lining should be and hey presto - snip, snip, done...
