I’ve got my Birthday Boogie Shoes on!
Out with the old and in with the new. I don’t know if you’re like me, but since having my daughter I rarely treat myself. I’ve gone from getting my hair done quarterly to yearly, my eye-brows resemble Bert from Sesame street and my skincare regime is non-existent, unless you count the use of baby wipes!
So, when I had the chance to treat myself, I upgraded my old trainers. I honestly, can’t even remember when I bought them or where I bought them. I think it may have been pre Madame or even longer. Yikes! Thought I’d go a bit crazy and go for some colour.
They will be missed but are now relegated to mowing the lawn, gardening and DIY.
I also treated myself to a pair of jeans, but think I may have had one glass of wine too many and bought a pair that were too small. God knows, what I was thinking! I’ve never worn a 31, not even during University. However, I managed to return them with little problem.
Disclosure: Thanks to Zalando UK for giving me the chance to treat myself.
I appreciate you can wear it around your neck like a scarf or pull it up over your head like a hoody? So, why is it not call a Scoody, Hoofy, Scardy, Shoody, Hody, Horf or some other daft combination? The ‘sn’ bit has me a bit perplexed. Can anyone shed some light on this?
But who cares about all that, the most important thing is that this Lambswool Snood is keeping me toasty during this cold snap we’re having! Yes, I’ve been wearing it indoors recently.
Disclosure: The Snood was compliments of Presents for Men
I love Autumn! Not because it’s my daughter’s birthday, our Anniversary and then my Birthday but because the weather starts to cool down and I can bring out my Big Jumpers, Leggings, Scarves and Boots.
There’s nothing more comfortable in my opinion! Plus, it hides the lumps and bumps also know as muffin tops!
Disclosure: Thanks to Zalando for my lovely new jumper and scarf! I’ve worn it three days in a row now.
I don’t have a trademark but if I did it would probably be wearing sunglasses on my head. Anyone who knows me will testify to this…it has nothing to do with the weather, as it rains one out of three days in the UK, but more to do with wanting to keep my hair out of my eyes. I even wear them in torrential rain.
I have never spent more than £10 on sunglasses in my life. I recently lost my glasses and gave it a few days to relocate them. In the end, I couldn’t find them and plumped for a new pair from Accessorize, identical to the pair that I’d lost as I felt naked without them. Sods law, I found them the next day in my hubby’s toolbox, no idea how they ended up there! Thinking I’d had a few wines and decided to do some DIY!
However, I was sent a pair of sunglasses from the folk at Polaroid; I’d describe them as posh (£75) but my mates wear £200 sunglasses so this is probably laughable to them. As soon as I took them out of the case you could feel the quality, they didn’t wobble, were fashionable and they actually blocked out the sun. I was scared to wear them. They also came with a robust case and a cloth to clean them, I usually use my shirt and a bit of gob!
Seriously, they’re lovely; the only thing is, I don’t think they suit me??? Be honest, I’m a big girl and if you’re really my friends you’ll tell me the truth and take the piss incessantly. My hubby had a right giggle. I’d tell you if you had a bogey hanging out of your nose. So please vote, I value your point of view.

They also sent an absolutely adorable pair for Madame in blue, as I told them about my aversion to pink, unfortunately, they were too small for her but I think Milo, our neighbour will look rather handsome in them!
