Saturday style

This is a pretty standard weekend outfit for me; ankle grazers, comfy jumper, ballet pumps.  It's simple, perfect for running errands, and requires minimal thought; ideal after a long week at work :-)


Have a fab weekend all.  I'm off to last minute hen do tomorrow - to cut a longish story short one of my bessies decided last week that's she's getting married next Saturday - loving her style!

Veggie pie recipe

I don't know about you but as soon as work goes crazy, healthy eating goes straight out the window and take-aways and M&S ready meals become the norm.  So in a bid to inject some vegetables into my diet I created a little veggie pie recipe.  It's really easy to make, tastes delicious and i'm sure each portion must be one if not two of your 5-a-day, lovely.


Ingredients
2x courgettes
2 x onions
2 x peppers (any colour)
1 x tin of sweetcorn
1 x tin of butter beans
Worcestershire sauce (3 good skirts)
3 big potatoes
Grated cheese
Butter
Milk
Olive oil
Herbs
Salt n pepper

Happy Wednesday xx

The secretary

Good weekend lovelies?


After an incredibly long week at work I ended up at the Empire Casino in Leicester Square on Friday night and doubled the Bot's my money.  Oh yes, I won a whole £20, ha, rolling with the big dogs!!


Saturday I went to watch my friend in her first Roller Derby matched where she totally kicked ass, and Sunday mooched on down to Brixton Village with the girls for some seriously scrummy Mexican food.  Nice.

Rocking the Mad Men secretary look here - i'm trying to smarten up my work attire.  It's the prob with working in a casual office, you can get seriously lazy.  So i'm smartening up my act. 


I'm totally digging this gorgeous coral blouse with pleats.  It's from Vila who if i'm honest, i'd not heard of before.  I guess you'd call them the older sister to Vero Moda (both brands sit under the parent company, Bestseller).  True to its Scandinavian roots you'll find clean lines and sophisticated pieces that reflect the season's key trends.  And best of all none will break the bank! You can find them in the UK at House of Fraser, USC, Republic, Oliver Bonas and ASOS.  I'll be rocking a few more of their pieces over the next few months so watch this space; I guarantee you'll soon be loving them as much as me!

Sweets for my sweet

Having one of those weeks where the to-do list appears to have acquired the power of Pinocchio's nose and keeps on growing.

So for now i'll leave with my latest guest blog post, which you can read over at Dolly Mixture clothing.

Happy Thursday lovelies, xx

Ah ah ah ah stayin' alive

For my mum's birthday last week I headed home, and back into a winter wonderland.  En route to mum's I convinced Bot to take a slight detour and naturally took the opportunity to jump a fence to take some outfit shots in a field.  Well, how can you resist a backdrop like this?


I'm not entirely convinced by this out, I feel a tad like i'm in a 70s fancy dress. Flares will do that to you, I suppose.  Then there's the sheepskin jacket. I picked it up in a charity shop 12 years ago for a 70s birthday party.  So technically, it was a fancy dress item.  But it's more the fact that makes me feel like a retro football manager.  Mind you, considering it was only £10 and is the only thing that seems to keep me warm when the temp drops, I think I can cope. On your 'ed son.  


Happy Monday folks xx
