You're making me dizzy my head is spinning......

Happy Thursday everyone- or plastic Friday as we used to call it at work (yes I wished my days away til the weekend!)

Im knackered today no reson for it maybe too much cooking and washing up yesterday- wish we had a dishwasher!

Well after my disaterous outfit choice yesterday (well maybe not but made me feel awful) I decided I would go back to what I know suits me and that is a skirt! And what a skirt, I love it, I love it, I love it! Did I mention I love this skirt? Its so bright and cheers me up when I wera it. The last time I wore this I paired it with tights but instantly felt too, I dunno, vunerable? Its quite a thin cotton so will be great in summer but in this weather it has to be put over leggings. Its weird isnt it? Leggings are not that much thicker than tights but they instantly make me feel more secure, anyone else get that?

I really wanted to wear it with black tights and my green mary janes but have played it safe and gone for the leggings and biker boots. Im kidding myself that the boots toughen it up and dont make me look frumpy lol.

I have teamed this with a long sleeve black v neck top with a turquoise cami under for modesty as this tops kinda low. Green and white buttefly necklace and matching long dangly butterfly earrings (love these have to wear them with a certain outfit) so kept everything toned down to let the skirt do the talking!


Oh and theres also a pic of the muffins I made yesterday- they were a bit browner *cough burnt* on the top but they taste fine...well according to the kids and the man they do I havent had one yet. Excuse the massive cage in the pic thats my guinea pigs!

Anyway have a good day everyone!

Ps check out the swishy spinning pic I want to do this all day in this skirt!

I feel inclined to blow my mind .Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Well all I can say today is bluergh!

Im in a real dilema over my outfit today, I really dont know about this top. Ive tried various ways of wearing it, mostly tucked into flared jeans, but today I decided to team it with my trusty skinnies. But I just dont know if I feel right in it? Maybe I need to get rid? I do love it for its hippy style and comfy shape. Firstly I tried it with a wide slouchy belt worn low on my hips, then tried it without....mmmmm dunno, this it makes me look too big...what do you think? Keep it or ebay it? If you had this top how would you wear it?

Along with my skinny jeans I wore my flat moccasin stlye boots with tassles, a green and cream disk necklace and a pair of silver buttefly earrings.

Baking didnt get underway yesterday so thats the job for this afternoon plus I have bought more veg to make a batch of soup.....may upload some pics of my muffins later if they turn out ok.


Excuse the orbs on the main shots they are always tons when I take a pic in my living room lol

Jean Genie....

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Weather is still bad here, roads are ok but the pavements are still full of ice/ snow. Im so bored of winter now it used to be my favourite season but Ive gone beyond being over the snow now.

My outfits seem so boring at the minute as they are totally dictated to by the weather. So I tried to bring some sunshine into my life via my outfit today.

I wore: Lemon and white checked cotton smock top- M+S via ebay
Purple roll sleeve cropped cardi- Next (bought full price when I had money- I now think of all the things I could have bought with the price of this one cardi lol).
Dark blue skinny flare jeans M+S via ebay- I love M+S jeans they fit so well- these ones were too long so I chopped them and hemmed them with wonderweb lol
Brown long pirate boots- Clarks - via ebay.

Double wrap purple and red stone necklace
butterfly ring (tried to get a good pic of this but this was the best I could get), its so big now I have to wear it on my thumb but I love it so much I wont get rid of it until I find an equally pretty alternative!
small pink stone love heart earrings
and my pink sequin beret when I went out (and my coat of course but thats black and boring so I havent pictured that!).

Plan to do some baking this afternoon with the little un- either banana bread or banana muffins- something with bananas anyway as I have a few on the turn.

How do you all keep yourselves going outfit wise in this dreary prolonged season? any tips most appreciated!

Have a good day everyone :)

It's too quiet in here and I'm beginning to freeze. I've got icicles hanging from my knees. Under fifteen feet of pure white snow.......

Happy Monday everyone!

Hope the weather is treating you well where you are!

We have had another bout of bad bad snow here- been snowing since 11am yesterday morning. Our drive to the school (10 miles across town) was put to a halt this morning when we failed to stop going down a hill!!

Luckily Jamie is a demon driver and managed to steer us into a verge next to a field...then we couldnt get back up the hill to go home and got stuck for half an hour!! So after a 20 mile detour (I kid you not) I have decided thats it way too dangerous out there and kept all 3 kids off for a snow day today. Mother Nature is now laughing at me behind her hand as we have had bright hazy sunshine since we got home....C'est la vie!

Anyway as a result of this my outfit today is not worth mentioning- think comfort, warmth and furry slippers a-gogo.

So I thought Id share in my latest ebay purchases.

Topshop Butterfly necklace, have been stalking this for a week now and was the only bidder on it.....dunno if that says much for my taste but I dont care I love it!





Shoes!! Ive been after a pair of black Mary Janes for a while now as the last pair I had were worn into the ground- I have a green pair but wanted black...when I saw these I thought they were an unusual alternative.






What do you think? Good purchase or bad choice?

All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey, Ive been for a walk, on a winters day.......

Hi everyone TGIF!!

Havent been up to much today had to take both boys to my mums (she lives 30 miles away so its a day out lol) as they are staying there til Sunday as a mini half term thing. Jasmine is going to her grandparents tomorrow to stop overnight so Jamie and I will be child free for a whole night...something thats only happened a total of 3 times in the 6 years we have been together!

What are we planning? Well probably a curry and the flicks haha boring, safe, but fun!

Anyway todays outfit I wanted something that was comfortable but also pushed me a wee bit. So I wore a dress that I bought a few weeks back in the Peacocks sale but this time I wore it with tights not leggings and decided to rebel against the snow that covered the ground again when I woke up and put on a pair of funky purple pumps! Bare in mind I was only planning on going out in the car today if I was walking ther would be no way Id risk ruining my shoes it would be back on with the trusty boots from yesterday! Accesorised with a lovely little purple butterfly on a silver chain that the kids got me last Mothers day, purple earings and a stack of indian stlye purple bangles. Excuse the house and home style pose lol.. Sharon is standing in her delightful kitchen filled with paintings done by a 3 year old....lol

and I took a pic of my face as my make up looked alright this morning, my hair is curlyish again as was yesterday.













Right must get ebaying again already listed 15 things, and to watch Lost......Have a great Friday night whatever you are doing!

So what am I now I'm love last home, I'm all of the soft words I once owned

Happy Thursday everyone...almost the weekend wohoo!

Firstly thanks to everyone for their kind words and messages on yesterdays post. It really wasnt the reason I did it but Im glad I didnt depress you all too much! I woke up with a much more positive attitude this morning. The issues havent gone away they will probably always be there but I realised Im on my way to working it all out.

Anyway a quickie outfit post tonight as its late (well late for me!) and I really should be ebaying (selling not buying...yet).

I broke my no jeans rule though (but as it want offically cast in stone it doenst matter) but this was only because we woke to snow this morning! Only a little bit but still! i think you can see Im looking much happier in these then I have the past few days...your comments have really boosted me so thank you! And check it out a new pic location lol


Anyway casual as ever I wore: Skinny jeans- New Look via ebay,Long sleeve white tshirt for warmth! Long boyfriend shirt Peacocks, Wide elastic waist belt: erm think this was from ebay too.... oh dear too much ebay again......excuse the evil looking cat in the background thats just our Alfie :)




I left my hair to dry naturally today so its all curly and I pinned it up at both sides was a nice natural look.




My signature butterfly was around my neck in this beauty 3d effect pewter one.



My huge leopard print sequin bag that takes all the stuff I need for a day out with the kids!



And a shot of my trusty Aldo brown biker boots that I got from ebay. these have seen me through all the bad weather since I got them at the end of November.





So there you go like I said just a quickie but I will endevour to post more tomorrow. Bye for now! xx
