What Was I Wearing: rainy days

Today I've gone for the androgynous look. You know those mornings when you know what you want to wear but the weather just isn't playing along? Well, today was one of those!! I had planned a cute dress with the brogues but then I looked out of the window... and it was raining! So jeans it was for me:

The t-shirt really didn't look right hanging out (like the slob that I am!!) so I tucked it in and was good to go!

How to... pack a capsule wardrobe for your holidays

I already told you that I basically lived in my Gap vest, H&M denim cut-offs and Havaianas for the whole of the three days we were in Valencia, but did you believe me? Well, if not, here is the proof. Yes, it is a different colour Gap vest but it is pretty much the same one. This is how I pack a capsule wardrobe for my holidays!!

Alright shortie!

Until a couple of years ago I resolutely refused to wear shorts. I think it had something to do with having always had to wear them on summer holidays as a child and feeling the need, as an adult, to rebel against that. Now, though, it is all I want to wear on my holidays. (Mothers really do know best, it would seem!)


This was basically what I lived in for three days in Valenica:

What I Wore for my Birthday

I'm pretty sure you are all aware that it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago. I spent the day shopping and eating and drinking (lunch at Jamie's Italian) with the boyf. He took a couple of photos of the outfit I wore for the day too:

What Was I Wearing: colour blocking

There are two positive points to having finished the 30 for 30 Challange: first, I have everything else in my wardrobe to play with and second, I can shop again!! And shop, I did. I will explain more about my little "spree" in another post but let me just say, if you live near to a Gap store - go check out their current sale. For those who don't think Gap is really their style, think again. Gap isn't really about being one particular style, the key to shopping in Gap is realising that they sell well-made and reasonably priced basics which create the foundation of a wardrobe and provide the perfect pieces for layering.

Anywho, back to one of the very first outfits I put together after the 30 for 30 challenge and taking inspiration from the trend for colour blocking for Spring Summer 2011:

30 for 30 Challenge: Day 20

Two thirds of the way there!!!! If I'm honest, when I started this challenge I really wasn't sure I'd get this far! I'm still struggling to be inspired by the 30 items at the moment but I'm hoping this will change in the next couple of days and I am planning to up the styling for some more madcap outfits:

30 for 30 Challenge: Day 5

So, it would seem that weekend posting (without being able to schedule) is near impossible for me. Therefore, I will be taking a little longer to complete the 30 for 30 Challenge and will be spreading it over 5 weeks and only weekdays. Apologies for this but I am commited to completing it this time and this is the only way I can see to do it. Please bear with me!

Therefore, without further ado, let me show you my fifth outfit in the challenge:

Christmas jumper

It might be two weeks since Christmas and a couple of days after Twelfth Night but I am still revelling in all of the new things I received for Christmas. And Christmas just isn't Christmas without a "Christmas jumper", is it now? Remember Mark Darcy's Christmas jumper in Bridget Jones's Diary:

Well, my Christmas jumper is far less embarassing and a little more on-trend:
