Friday fun

Yay, it's Friday! And this was a rather lovely Friday with Polly as the autumn sun shone down on us. We had nothing in particular to laugh about, apart from the fact that I always speak and she always tried to shut me up - very good of her too, as my speaking face is not in the least photogenic! My dear assistant and brilliant photographer extraordinaire is currently packing for her trip to New Zealand, an event that is pretty much a bolt out of the blue for her. Within the space of a week, she's had an invite to join a friend on the South Island, has been to the travel agents, booked her flights, and is now frantically shopping, flapping and packing, ready for the off on Tuesday. I hope to goodness she comes back!










The brand new geometric print swing dress is from H&M (sim) but was a find from one of my favourite charity shops in Truro. Across the road and round the corner in TK Maxx was where I came across the fabulous stud encrusted jacket by Michael Kors (this one is equally fabulous). It weighs a ton, well maybe not a ton exactly, but you get what I mean. It was so heavy in fact, that I had to post it home to myself. It was February and I was on my way to London, en route to our cruise, and couldn't take it with me as I didn't have enough luggage allowance left to pack it. My leopard print brothel creepers from Office are a bit bashed up after a year of wear and tear, but I still love 'em. The brass bangle is by Almost Perfect, rings are old, and sunglasses are by Quay Australia.


Have a wonderful trip Polly!

    1. This was another fun outfit to put together my dear. It was the first time for me wearing the dress and those shoes just cried out to be paired up. The black of the jacket makes it so versatile that you can be sure that I'll be wearing it often. Lucky ol' Polly I say!
      Enjoy your weekend x

    1. Thanks Veronica. I could easily see you wearing this entire outfit too Vronni- the shape of the dress would work well on you and I know you've already got some creepers... Thank goodness Polly has already booked her return ticket!

  4. Well for starters, I'm fascinated by the term "brothel creepers" and just have to know a bit of that etymology!
    I love the color, print, and shape of the dress. It's so cool that it's gathered a bi at the back! The jacket is HOT!! The studs and the cut make it an unexpected with the dress but I absolutely love it!!
    What a stroke of luck for Polly!! She'll have life adventurers and tales to tell.

    1. Judy, you're gonna have to do your research on that terminology and get back to me, as I have no idea! I paid £6 for this band new little dress and it was money really well spent. I totally agree that the gathers at the back are quite cute. And yes, this jacket is the best. I've not worn it a lot this year, but it will be aired again next month...

    1. Thanks for the lovely comments Margot. It really is a very simple, yet effective cut - I could buy a few in this style and never tire of them.

    1. Very kind Rachel. It may be a simple cut, but it's still effective.
