Am I seeing things??

Aloha Bloggerinos,

No, I haven't turned into a nature nut (although I do like flowers, the countryside, pretty lakes and whatnot), but I HAD to take this picture! As soon as I saw this flower I thought "MAC Stars 'n' Rockets" and "BELLA SUGAR COSMETICS Princessy".

Excuse me, but is it normal to stop seeing the world in colours and seeing it in eyeshadow shade?!

Uh oh.

Toodlepip!

An English Summer

Aloha Bloggerinos,

As you will see from my last post, I recently went on a lovely picnic to Castle Ashby, in Northamptonshire. It's a lovely big National Trust type place with amazing houses that I WILL live in one day when I make my squillions from my craft fayres, pretty gardens and ornate lakes.

I thought you might enjoy some snaps of a true English Summer. Ahhh

Matt about to through Issobelle in. (To clarify- not really!! Don't go calling the authorities on us!)

Me at some sort of steps-into-the-water affair.

That's the gang. It looks like me all sat in some sort of marsh but I can assure you we didn't! It was a nice little picnic bench area.

The Belle thought this was a magic fairy garden. I think Mattmoo did too.

I'm definitely more of an indoors girl but this, was luurrvvllyy.

Toodlepip!

Curvy Girl's OOTD- Family Picnic

Aloha Bloggerinos,

Last weekend was our Annual Family Picnic at Castle Ashby and I thought I would give you a peek at what I wore. It was sunny but not hot (which I was secretly pleased about because hot+me=big red blobgirl) so I had a kind of layered effect going on. Ooooh I love a good layer or two!

Now, these pictures were taken after a whole day of fun and frolicks so I'm not looking too polished but I'm sure you won't mind the natural look. It was pretty bloomin' windy I tell ya!

I am wearing:

Light gold pumps- Primark

Lace trim leggings- New Look

Green tunic dress- H&M

Navy heart cardi- Oasis

Gold envelope bag- Peacocks

As usual, I did the old 'cover your fatty bits and draw attention to your slim parts' trick. I won't go into it again because I fear you might be bored of hearing it from my other OOTD's!

All the items I'm wearing have been bought in the last few months (except the bag), so if you fancy them, you could still hot foot it to town and buy it :)

A couple of close ups:

How much do you love this ring? It was from a shop called Mickey in Liverpool (sadly it has closed now I think). My chum Ceri bought it for an obscene amount and I 'borrowed' it. I shall never give it back! Mwahahahaha!!

Why do my tootsies look so small? I'm a size 7 for heavens sake!

I felt that this outfit was casual but also quite practical for an outdoorsy day. Do you likey likey?

Toodlepip!
