In the last 3 years I have started this style blog, added a gorgeous daughter and working part-time in the shop as well as another online business to the mix. The blog has changed slightly, but I still use it help give a more pulled together look!Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.comBlogger799125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732675142486912576.post-32869054523017259672012-08-28T13:02:00.002+01:002012-08-28T13:02:58.206+01:00Tuesday 28.08.12<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_5409.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_5409.jpg" /></a>

<br />
After the winters day that we experienced yesterday (I honestly do not think the rain stopped at all during day light hours and it was so chilly) I did not feel like risking bare legs today!!<br />
I do, however, feel that it is just a wee bit early for the tights and feel that this look is very dark for August.<br />
<br />
Today's look is:<br />
<br />
Skirt - Charlotte Russe<br />
Cami - Primark<br />
Jumper - H&M<br />
Shoes - Christian Louboutin<br />
<br />
I had a fabulous weekend with my family - the weather was not great but we still managed to get out and about and have lots of fun together.<br />
On Saturday we collected out wedding pictures (the proofs) from the photographer, we then went to get a birthday gift, afterwards we went to a local farm park with tea room for some lunch and a play outside. Sunday was spent at a family birthday party.<br />
This weekend will be quieter and I am very much looking forward to it.Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732675142486912576.post-61668558067841574352012-08-20T14:40:00.001+01:002012-08-20T14:40:52.389+01:00Monday 20.08.12<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_5368.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_5368.jpg" /></a>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here we go again...... I am going to try and get back into the swing of posting here. I make no promises that I will be here everyday, but I am going to try for at least once a week.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I almost did not post today as I could not find the cardigan that I wanted to wear with this dress. This dress needs a cropped or short style, I love my little back bolero - but can I find it anywhere?? I spied this little number in the drawer and decided to give it a go. I do not hate it with the dress but it just does not feel right!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Today's look is:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Dress - Vila</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Cardigan - New Look</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Shoes - Christian Louboutin</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">We had a fabulous family weekend, we had breakfast with friends on Saturday (on their deck, please let us have some summer like weather for at least a month more). Saturday afternoon we went furniture shopping as we are about to re-vamp our lounge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Sunday we headed down the coast for a picnic on the beach and walk to Culzean Castle. Miss O had a ball and loved the adventure playground in the castle grounds.</span>Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732675142486912576.post-91590430538501811982012-08-15T12:47:00.000+01:002012-08-15T14:09:52.197+01:00Wedding!!!The time has finally come for me to have a catch up post and tell you all about our fabulous wedding day!!<br />
<br />
** This will probably be long and very picture heavy!!<br />
<br />
Saturday 14th July 2012 marked the day that I became a wife and had the most fabulous and perfect day, wearing the most beautiful dress that I have ever owned!!<br />
<br />
We decided to get married in a local hotel (that is very family friendly and has a fabulous outdoor space for kids). We decided that fancy bridal cars were not us so myself, Miss O, my mum and my bridesmaids all arrived at the hotel very early and used the bridal suite to get ready. The morning was great, we had fun drank pink champagne, got our make up done by a pro and enjoyed the sun streaming in the window!!<br />
<br />
The ceremony was at 2pm and was just lovely. I had no nerves, I was just so excited to finally marrying the perfect man for me. After the ceremony the photographs began - wow, it takes a lot of the actual day getting the photographs done!! In between shots we drank champagne and tried to mingle with guests. Thankfully, most of them knew each other and the day was so gorgeous, warm and sunny that everyone was happy to sit in the garden and enjoy drinks, canapes and the candy buffet!!<br />
<br />
The meal and the speeches were great, the food was just fantastic, very yummy and lots of it. After the meal my hubby and I got a little time alone to just chill, then it was time to start greeting the evening guests.<br />
<br />
For the reception a friend who is a DJ provided the entertainment. After the formal first dances, I got to dance with my girl to some of her favourite songs (Beyonce - Single Ladies and FUN We are Young). Then the real fun started. There was a dance off!!! Stags V's Hens. I have never laughed so much in my life - what a fabulous ice breaker and great way to get everyone ready to dance the night away. The Hens of course stole the show and beat the stags hands down!!

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">As a shopper I can not be bothered with the mess and the rummaging for something in my style. That said a few weeks ago I was in Primark stocking up on toddler vests and pants when I passed a rail full of random-ness! </span><br />
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4833-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4833-1.jpg" /></a>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Everything on the rail was £5 and there was a single skirt that grabbed my attention. I love the colours, it has a belt, the print, it is cotton, it is lined and it has pockets. I did not even try it on I just bought it. I am so happy that I did.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4835-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4835-1.jpg" /></a>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">As well as not being a huge sales shopper, I am not an Internet shopping fan - I own a bricks and mortar store, I like to support the high street!! However H&M have changed my views (a little). The local H&M store that we have is not great. I love the kids clothes and started to order for Miss O. As you do, I then started to look at items for me. Before I knew where I was I had a blazer £12 and bikini arrive on my doorstep!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Saturday was my birthday - I am now the grand old age of 31!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">It was a lovely but very busy day. The morning was spent with my fabulous family, we popped into town to get some bits for lunch and a very quick look in the shops. The weather was awful so it was just a very quick look. Then after lunch I had my wedding day make up trial. It went very well and I am pleased with the look. But we have decided that it will need to be a tad stronger on the day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">After the make up it was then on to the dressmakers for the dress fittings! I got to put my beautiful dress on again and wow, I still am so much in love with it! The bridesmaids dresses are stunning and I hope that they are going to be as striking on the day as I hope them to be. Miss O had a try on of her dress too and she looked just fabulous!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">The outfit pictures are from my birthday dinner. We went to a local restaurant for dinner and drinks with some friends. It was a lovely night and I am so happy with the outfit. It was so comfortable to wear, it was light and summery, yet it was still a good look on a very wet June night.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">My birthday look was:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Trousers - H&M</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Junper - H&M</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Necklace - Charlotte Russe</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Shoes - Christian Louboutin</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Casual, casual, casual.......... That is the look, well feel, for today.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I walked 8 miles last night and I could not bear the thought of heels or restrictive clothing for today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I got this maxi skirt a few weeks ago, it was a real bargain (under £5) but it is a bit more clingy than I would have liked. But I like the colour and the comfort of it. As for the look - I kept it super simple with just black.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I made it back to Weight Watchers this morning and the news was not good!! It was not devastating but I need to get my head back in the game. I have 4 weeks until the wedding and that means that I have 3 weeks to lose a few pounds. It is time for me to say goodbye to wine, nibbles, chocolate and cake and a big hello to my trainers and the running app on my phone!! I will report back in next week!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Today's look is:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Skirt - eBay</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">T-shirt - H&M</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Sandals - Primark</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Necklace - Topshop</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I love this dress and realised recently that I had not worn it for ages (I sold the shoes that I used to wear with it on eBay in one of my mad clear outs). As much as I love this dress when I see the pictures today I do not like it with bare legs. I think that with it having the black slip underneath it needs black tights to make it pop!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I do also think that it is just a fraction too short for the bare leg look!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Today's look is:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Lace dress - Vila</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Cardigan - Primark</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What a quick weekend that was!! It was my hen weekend, so me and 7 friends spent a fabulous day and overnight at a spa hotel. Lots of laughs were had, good food eaten and cocktails drunk. The relaxing massages were fabulous too!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Back to work today and with being away for the overnight I was not at all organised this morning. I am pretty pleased with this outfit considering it was pulled together in a rushed fashion this morning.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">It is just myself and Miss O tonight as N is working late. It will be bath and early beds all round, but I will try and plan my clothes for tomorrow as I have Miss O to get to playgroup for 9.30am in the morning so we will be rushing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Today's look is:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Jeans - Marshalls</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Blouse - Charlotte Russe</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Cami - Walmart</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Jacket - Primark</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Wedges - Payless Shoes</span>Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732675142486912576.post-41293818083827411832012-06-11T11:51:00.000+01:002012-06-11T11:51:28.965+01:00Customer Service<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On Friday my friend and I packed out little ones into her car and set off to Glasgow to Braehead shopping centre. My friend had been shopping on line for a dress to wear to her brothers wedding. A style that she liked was out of stock on line but was still available in store.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">We arrived at the store, she selected the dress and went to the fitting room. The dress was cheap fabric that already had a static build up and from not so close I could see that it was covered (and I mean covered in self tan). She decided to try it on anyway as we had travelled to see it and she need to put it out of her mind. It was swiftly discounted due to poor fit and we left.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">We were heading back to the car when we paused outside of <a href="http://www.oasis-stores.com/">Oasis</a> - it is a store that I do not often shop in as there is not one near us.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">We went in and the shop was quiet, we were greeted and help was offered. We had a browse and nothing was jumping out. My little one was then starting to shout from her buggy so, I headed to the back of the store to distract her with the mirrors - only to stumble upon a sale rail.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I had a flick through and spied this gorgeous <a href="http://www.oasis-stores.com/Tropical-Jewel-Dress/Dresses/oasis/fcp-product/3470085000">dress</a>.</span><br />
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=3470085000.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/3470085000.jpg" /></a>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Typically they only had a tiny or a huge size - which of course meant that my friend LOVED it. She really loved the half price ticket. She went to the sales assistant and asked if there were any more sizes. Unfortunately there were not. She asked where we were from and then offered to call stores that we could stop in at on the way home to see if they had the size we were looking for. The sales assistant did this and managed to find the dress in the correct size in another store that we were passing on the road home.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Her help was fantastic and my friend now has a <a href="http://www.oasis-stores.com/Tropical-Jewel-Dress/Dresses/oasis/fcp-product/3470085000">fabulous dress</a> to wear to her brothers summer garden party wedding. Best of all it was a steal!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I will most definitely be back in <a href="http://www.oasis-stores.com/">Oasis</a> and 100% will go back to the store in Braehead where the staff were so helpful.</span>Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732675142486912576.post-60535358584862841342012-06-07T10:00:00.000+01:002012-06-07T10:00:02.682+01:00Peplum?!<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Peplum dresses are a style that I have never tried to wear. I am unsure of the extra fabric over my hips. Saying this I am drawn to them - I think most of the styles are very pretty.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4734.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4734.jpg" /></a>
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">We took delivery of this one in the shop last week!</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4736.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4736.jpg" /></a>
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I honestly love it. The shape, the deep V in the back and most of all the navy stripes. I have still not tried it on - like I said I am not sure about peplums.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">What do you think of them? Do you have one yet?</span>Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732675142486912576.post-56579621308004039672012-06-06T14:26:00.000+01:002012-06-06T14:26:40.787+01:00Wednesday 06.06.<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4768.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4768.jpg" /></a>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So rough start today what with Miss O deciding 5.10am was the perfect time for us all to be up watching Ben and Holly!! Even with a 2 hour head start on my day I was still rushing out the door with seconds to spare - how does that happen??</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4772.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4772.jpg" /></a>
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Spied my wedges in the bottom of the shoe basket last night when I was looking for something else. I have not worn them for an age and decided that today was the day they were having an outing! They were a flea market find in Orlando in 2005, they were an impulse then but as I have grown up they have suited my style more! I love the shape of them at the back!!</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4771.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4771.jpg" /></a>
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">The trousers and top that I have on today I find pretty hard items to wear. The top is kind of fussy and it is really long and the skinny cords I have shoe issues with - I think I NEED a nude ballet flat.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Today's look is:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Skinny Cords - Forever 21</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Top - Forever 21</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Shoes - Flea Market</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Bracelet - Thomas Sabo</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Watch - Michael Kors</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">** Just to add. I have no idea what the heck is going on with my hair. I think I have been twiddling or fluffing just before taking the pics.</span>Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732675142486912576.post-16434882029513837202012-06-06T11:50:00.000+01:002012-06-06T11:50:31.089+01:00One of those days.......<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4758.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4758.jpg" /></a>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This was very much needed this morning.... for a few reasons!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Miss O has had me up since 5.10am - yawn.</span></li>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It is day 3 of my working week. No big deal, but organising myself and Miss O for 9am takes its toll.</span></li>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It is Wednesday and the weekend still seems so far off.</span></li>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It is cold and grey??!! Hello - it is June a little warmth would be good!!</span></li>

White jeans for the first time this year!! The weather has been so nice lately that I have pretty much jumped full on into summer dressing (this is the UK and this may not last).<br />
I have had the jeans and cardigan for forever, but the top was a find when we were in Orlando in March. $4.88 in the Old Navy clearance section. Super score!<br />
<br />
Yesterday was sunnier than today, but man was I cold. So today I felt that jeans might help with my temperature issues yet them being white makes them look like summer wear!!<br />
<br />
Jeans - Chilli Pepper<br />
Top - Old Navy<br />
Cardigan - Vila<br />
Cami - Walmart<br />
Sandals - River Island<br />
Necklace - Forever 21<br />

This post will be picture heavy - sorry in advance.<br />

Hello - I have no idea if there is anyone out there reading anymore?? So, it is June and I have not blogged since....... erm February. Oh dear. So, I may not have blogged for, well forever. But I have snapped some pictures. I am not sure when exactly they were taken but here goes.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4440.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4440.jpg" /></a>
I am pretty sure that I wore this look to work on a Saturday that we were meeting friends right after I finished. I love this look as it comfortable, yet smart. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4441.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4441.jpg" /></a>
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4442.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4442.jpg" /></a>
The blazer is jersey and is so comfortable - posting this just reminded me that it is in the bottom of the laundry basket and really needs attention.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4455.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4455.jpg" /></a>
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4456.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4456.jpg" /></a>
I think this could be one of the prettiest outfits I have styled in a LONG time. I wore it to work a Saturday in April - there was a big horse race meeting locally and there were lots of dressed up ladies out and about! I got asked twice if I was going to the races!!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4457.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4457.jpg" /></a>
The skirt was bought via eBay 3 years ago to wear to my best friends rehearsal dinner at her wedding in the Bahamas (I wore it with a jewel collar white vest top then).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4458.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4458.jpg" /></a>
I must wear this again soon!!<br />
<br />
Date night!!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4459.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4459.jpg" /></a>
N and I get one night off a week (Miss O stays with my parents) we do not often go out - we have a wedding to pay for a in a few weeks!! But from time to time we get dressed up and go out for dinner and drinks.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4460.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4460.jpg" /></a>
This full outfit was bought while in Orlando on holiday. The blouse and blazer were during our most recent trip. Shorts were last year in March and the boots were the November 2010!!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_4462.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_4462.jpg" /></a>
So, there you go - I have been trying to make sure and still have blog worthy outfits. Work has been a bit of slog, but having 2 weeks off in March revived my love for the shop and I am now back in the zone.<br />
We are pretty much in the final countdown to the wedding - five weeks this Saturday - eek. I have my "hen do" this weekend. A spa day and overnight stay with 7 of my closest friends!! I can not wait!! I then have my first dress fitting the following week - I am so excited to try my dress on - it is quite simply the most stunning dress I have ever owned!!<br />
<br />

On top of it being broken by a small person, the rain hammering off the window before 6am had me awake way before I hoped to be. Am I any more organised today?? Not a bit. I think I need to assess my routines and tweak them.<br /><br />This dress was in the eBay pile, but I decided to give it one more chance. I think it has been saved for the time being. It is a lot comfier than I remember - so I think it being too small was how it ended up in the pile.<br /><br />Today's look is:<br /><br />Dress - Max C London<br />Cardigan - J.Crew<br />Tights - ???<br />Boots - Armani Exchange<br />Belt - Primark<br /><br />Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732675142486912576.post-14638854761697499912012-02-21T14:03:00.002+00:002012-02-21T14:15:05.312+00:00Tuesday 21.02.<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3688.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3688.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3689.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3689.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3690.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3690.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3691.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3691.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Tired and unorganised are the two words I would use to describe myself today. I was not late last night but there was a small person sleeping sideways in our bed last night!! Bad times.<br /><br />While I was searching for inspiration in my wardrobe this morning I spied this cute little skirt. I think I may have worn this just the once, it has been in my wardrobe for some time - I got it just before falling pregnant with O (I think). I have no idea why I have not worn it more often. I think it is rather cute, and with this jumper it is less dressy.<br /><br />In preparation for the wedding this Summer I am keen to up my beauty regime. Please share any tips for once a week treatments or steps that you have that you do yourself at home.<br /><br />Today's look is:<br /><br />Skirt - Forever 21<br />Jumper - H&M<br />Tights - SkunkFunk<br />Necklace - Forever 21<br />Shoes - Faith<br /><strong></strong>Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732675142486912576.post-84979165786623111832012-02-21T13:47:00.005+00:002012-02-21T14:02:37.524+00:00A Catch Up.....So yet again I let the blogging slip. I also have to admit that I my outfits did get a little sloppy there for a bit. But I am back and I am going to try hard to stay back.<br /><br />So January was a good month for me and my family....<br /><br />N asked me to marry him and I said "YES". I am now the very proud owner of that beauty of a ring. Our wedding is all booked and will take place this Summer. I had a week off work etc with my mum and we got 75% of the planning done! Venue booked, my dress bought, flowers organised, cake booked, photographer sorted and dressmaker booked to make bridesmaids dresses. There is still lots to be done but it is now the smaller things and the things that we are hoping to do ourselves (wish me luck with that).<br /><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=395091_10151158025370456_179561804_n.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/395091_10151158025370456_179561804_n.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Over the last few weeks my little baby seems to have lost her last bits of baby-ness. She wants to walk everywhere and pick out her own (wacky) outfits. When we walk the dog as a family she has always been in the buggy or N will carry her in the backpack carrier, but she now just wants to walk.<br /><br />On Sunday we were at the beach for an hour (not getting very far but having lots of fun) and the picture below pretty much tells the whole story!<br /><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=396375_10151287773140456_894485455_22970868_479663265_n.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/396375_10151287773140456_894485455_22970868_479663265_n.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Yesterday I was out for the afternoon with my best friend. We scored a Groupon deal a few weeks ago for afternoon tea with a twist (cocktails in place of tea and coffee). We decided to make a day of it and had afternoon cocktails, did some window shopping, had another cocktail and then ended the day with sushi. It was fabulous and I hope that we can do it again soon. I do not have an outfit post for yesterday I only got the one picture and it is not the best head shot!<br /><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=423866_10150673754855979_649395978_11536947_2116978946_n.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/423866_10150673754855979_649395978_11536947_2116978946_n.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732675142486912576.post-90755686230617248772012-01-18T14:15:00.002+00:002012-01-18T14:24:42.637+00:00Wednesday 18.01.<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3503.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3503.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3504.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3504.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3505.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3505.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3506.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3506.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I really tried to have an early night last night, but it just did not happen. So, today I feel even more tired than I did yesterday. This evening I plan to get the house as organised as I can before little Miss O goes to bed and then try and catch up with the ironing after she is in bed. Rock "n" roll huh??<br /><br />As boring as that may be, it needs done. I made a deal with myself that this year I was going to try and be more organised. We are 2 weeks into the new year and I am still in as much of a muddle as ever.<br /><br />Pretty much all of today's look comes from Forever 21. I am looking forward to visiting again in March. But it will be a very much more reserved shopping trip this time as funds are having to go elsewhere.<br /><br />Today's look is:<br /><br />Skirt - Forever 21<br />Jumper - Forever 21<br />Cami - Primark<br />Tights - Tesco<br />Boots - Forever 21<br /><br />** I will not be wearing these patterned tights with this skirt again. I do not like how it looks in the pictures.<br />Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732675142486912576.post-33721806655886202732012-01-17T11:38:00.004+00:002012-01-17T11:56:12.291+00:00Tuesday 17.01.<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3492.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3492.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3493.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3493.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3494.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3494.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3495.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3495.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Wow life has been hitting us hard lately and blogging has just not been on my mind. But I am back and I hope to stay back. I need to keep motivated with my clothing and my diet in the coming months as I am going to be on a strict budget (no more buying clothes) and I want to stay this size without having to start paying for Weight Watchers again.<br /><br />So far 2012 is going well for us but he have had more than our fair share of colds and tummy bugs. This on top of working 3 days a week, running a cloth nappy store from home, looking after an energetic toddler and keeping a home is proving tough going. But I am not going to moan about is as what we have is just fabulous.<br /><br />We are on the count down to a fabulous 2 week holiday in the sun, a big birthday (my mums) and a new baby (my sister is due her first baby in early April). 2012 is going to be a good fun year.<br /><br />Today is it cold and damp, I will be honest I wanted to wear skinny jeans, Ugg boot and a super snuggly cardigan....... But I resisted. I love this dress as it is structured enough to look smart, yet is super comfy to wear and really quite cosy. The flats were a bargain in Primark before Christmas and I have worn them so, so much.<br /><br />Today's look is:<br /><br />Dress - Blend<br />Tights - <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/tights-and-socks/70-denier-tights_220515841">New Look</a><br />Scarf - Blend<br />Shoes - Primark<br />Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732675142486912576.post-68776442061088819442011-12-28T12:34:00.002+00:002011-12-28T12:49:42.744+00:00Wednesday 28.12.<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3412.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3412.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3413.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3413.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3414.jpg<br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3415.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3415.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Back to work for me today. It is an odd one as I am happy to be back to it and getting things done but I am missing spending time with my family. On Christmas Eve N, Miss O and myself were all in the local post office (I am there everyday Monday to Friday and N is in for me on a Saturday) and the owner commented that it was the first time she had EVER seen us all together as a family. We have had this same set up since April! This made me really quite sad - as it highlighted that we have so little time as a family.<br /><br />However, we have had a lovely few days together and Christmas has been wonderful. We also have a few days just us again next week and I am very much looking forward to it.<br /><br />It is pretty miserable and stormy here today so I decided cosy was the order of the day. My sister got me this cardigan for Christmas and I love it. However, next time I think I will pair it with a more colourful look.<br /><br />Today's look is:<br /><br />Jeans - Primark<br />T-shirt - Primark<br />Cardigan - New look<br />Shoes - Charlotte Russe<br />Scarf - Gift<br />Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732675142486912576.post-78370322518555967922011-12-21T14:07:00.004+00:002011-12-21T14:14:18.128+00:00Saturday 10.12. - A night out!!<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3328.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3328.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3330.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3330.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />As I am self employed I do not have works Christmas party, so for all that we have lots on in December I do not have the worry of finding a Christmas party dress or outfit.<br /><br />However, this year my good friend turned 30 and decided to have a festive night out and dinner to celebrate. As this was my only dressy night out I did not want to go too over the top, but I wanted to look festive and dressed up.<br /><br />The sequin blazer came into stock a few weeks before we went on holiday and I took one to wear over a black jumpsuit to a family wedding. I knew that I wanted to wear it again during the festive season, so it was the first part of my night out look.<br /><br />While we were away the dress was delivered to the shop stocks and I loved how it was comfortable and casual jersey with the cute lace detail. Having just spent 10 days in the sunshine I decided to be brave and go with bare legs.<br /><br />All in all I really like the look and will wear it again.<br /><br />Night out look was:<br /><br />Dress - Blend<br />Blazer - Blend<br />Shoes - Christian Louboutin<br />Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732675142486912576.post-79916196318177327122011-12-21T13:58:00.004+00:002011-12-21T14:04:57.909+00:00Tuesday 06.12.<a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3287.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3287.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3288.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3288.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3289.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3289.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3290.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3290.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />As it was so long ago I have very little to say about this look.<br /><br />Well other than I love the skirt. I had noticed it in Primark in the autumn and liked it, however, I did not like it enough to pay the price tag (it was not a huge amount of money but....). Anyway I was in town with my mum and Miss O the day before and this was on a clearance rack for £1.00!! Yep just £1.00 - it was the only one so I grabbed it and bought it ( I did not try it on as it was only £1.00). I am really pleased with it and have a few ideas in mind of other ways to wear it soon.<br /><br />Outfit was:<br /><br />Skirt - Primark<br />Tee - B Young<br />Cardigan - Blend<br />Tights - SkunkFunk<br />Boots - Forever 21<br />Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732675142486912576.post-74401766166805352822011-10-31T15:15:00.004+00:002011-10-31T15:28:00.749+00:00Monday 31.10.<div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;">HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!</span></div><br /><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_2984.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_2984.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3012.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3012.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3013.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3013.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3014.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3014.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/?action=view&current=IMG_3015.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu91/aimmr16/IMG_3015.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I will start off with a picture of my gorgeous girlie in her costume! It is an Easter chick costume, but she thinks that she is a duck!! She ran around at her playgroup party shouting "duck, duck". It was very cute!!<br /><br />3 weeks today and I shall be on my merry way to Orlando with my family for 13 days!! Yippee! I can not wait. The difference in Miss O since we were last there is huge and I just know that she is going to have a ball. With the holiday looming I am having a huge clear out of clothes that do not get worn - on eBay - in the hope that I can create space (before Christmas) and to try and up the spending money fund!!<br /><br />This dress is in the sell pile! However, last night when I was taking pictures of the items to be listed I thought I would give this one more chance! It is still going! I just do not love it enough!! I am going to launder it this week and make sure that I goes to someone that will give it more wear!<br /><br />Today's outfit is:<br /><br />Dress - Soo Lee<br />Cardigan - Primark<br />Tights - Tesco<br />Shoes - Christian Louboutin<br />Boutique Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769795128924570354noreply@blogger.com3
