Mummy Outfit

Image
I have not done an outfit post in a very long time but felt quite comfortable in what I was wearing for once, It was also such a nice day and there was no need for a coat which made me super happy.  Being a Mum I want to be comfy and able to bend with ease but still look nice so I went for this flattering shirt from H&M, its a loose fitting navy blue shirt with polka dots. I fell in love with this instantly and I really do love it. I then went for my usual blue skinny jeans from New Look. I just think that skinny's are the best for keeping the outfit a little less formal.  The boots were from BHS which has no closed but I do love the way they look, feel and have been my most worn shoes since I got them. To complete the outfit I wore a chunky beaded necklace which my gorgeous girl got me foe Mother's day last year. I really think this necklace completes the look so nicely and I love that it is something my girl picked for me all by herself.

My week in Pictures • 14th - 20th March

Image
We have had a pretty uneventful week but I took a few pictures. First up I decided that it was time to get ready for Easter, so I brought some Easter decorations for Lil's window. On Thursday it was the day for Lil's nursery to dress up for Sports Relief. They had to wear red and obviously we didn't have any. Luckily my Mum came to the rescue woth two cute red cardigans from Sainsbury's which I paired with the  Mini club floral tunic  and a blue pair of tights. And her school shoes. Lastly from today, it has become a yearly tradition to watch the runners of the Hastings half marathon from Lilly's Great Grandma's house. This year we saw so many people dressed up, a man running the whole thing backwards and some very fast runners doing a 13.1 miles run in just over an hour. Crazy. We have had a lovley week and finished it with a quick drive through the countryside on the first Spring day of the year.  xXx 

Toddler OOTD | Spring is coming

Image
I haven't written an outfit post in what feels like forever so I thought I would share Lil's outfit today. We recently got a couple of tunics from Miniclub clothing at boots and this is one if them, a beautiful navy blue dress with a red and white floral print on. I think this is super cute and was really cheap at buying two tunics for £8. I also put some blue floral print tights that I got from Aldi last year. These complete the outfit to make it a little more cosy and warmer for the spring weather. I put her hair in bunches today, her hair is getting so long and I love doing different hairstyles on her. I think she looks super cute today and wanted to share it.  xXx

Mayday | Jack in the green and Bike run

Image
Every year in our town on May day the air is filled with the smell of petrol and oil and the streets are full of bikers and green people.  We have an annual celebration of spring called Jack in the Green. This is, I believe to banish the winter and welcome this spring. We have drummers,  morris dancers and many people dressed in green for the parade, I have taken part a few times and my Dad and Brother still do. Hence the photo below. We managed to see most of the parade, seeing many morris dancing groups and a few drumming groups, some that I had never seen before and of course Sambalanca.  The other thing that happens in town is the May day bike meet, thousands of bikes travel from all over the country to our little town every May day. Some of the bikes are absoloutly amazing, the paintwork or even just the uniqueness of the bikes I is imemse and the noise is extraodinary, especially when there revving or doing a burnout. I would so lov...

Toddler outfit of the day | Spring day

Image
I thought Lilly looked adorable in this outfit so I thought that I would share the outfit with you all. We took a trip out just to the village the other day where I got this snap of her in the daffodils.  Her lovely sun hat is a handmade one we picked up last year from  rural past times . It's very spring/summer looking with daisies all over it and it finally fits her better. Her top is from a pack of three that we got from the Morrison's nutmeg range of clothing. I think that the stripes make her look more grown up, but I also think they suit her very well. The trousers we just £2.50 ones from H&M a while back, the white legging go well with the striped top and keep her legs cooler than a dark colour would have. Lastly are her shoes which again are from H&M. I am in love with them and wish I had a pair myself. They are pink converse style shoes which seems to go with pretty much every outfit she has. I cannot believe how much my little girl...

Easter basket 2015

Image
I have done another Easter basket this year for Lilly pops. I love the idea of these and I believe that they make it more exciting for the child themselves. It also means that you can buy other things rather than just chocolate. We have afew of the same things from last year, such as her bouncing bunny, the finger puppets and the personalized egg from  beebies  but we have added some items too So this year we have a very cute drinking cup with chicks and eggs on, it have a swirly straw too and this was from poundland. we then have an Easter book for us to read from  world of books .We then just have a mini Lyndt bunny and a Cadbury's head egg. I really enjoy doing these for Lilly and I hopes she enjoys it too. xXx 

A trip to the farm

Image
Today me and Lilly took a trip to a working farm in Pett. It was a nice day for it and we really enjoyed ourselves.  There were 4 types of animals that we saw which were Cows, sheep, chickens and ducks.  We started off by walking over some on the fields and saw the sheep waiting to give birth, and collected such things as feathers and wool. We then headed back to the main bit so got to walk through a field of sheep and head along the trail with chickens everywhere. We made it to the cow shed where there were so many cows and they just k ept appearing, there was a cow just given birth so very protective. Lilly was so nervous at first but got over that in the end and tried to feed a couple herself. After we saw some ducks and then we had to come home, So we washed our hands and off home we came.  Hope you enjoyed our little adventure as much as we did. Viki x

Style Sunday | Sunny day

Image
So I'm more into fashion than I have ever been, I thought I would do a weekly fashion vlog called Style Sunday with outfits from both me and Lilly pops. Today was really warm and sunny so thought I would go for a more summery look. I have on some Navy blue skinny jeans from New Look, these are super comfy and cheap as well :) will always go back to these jeans. I also have a long loose fitting yellow top from R&D fashion Paris, really don't have a clue what shop that is, but has been in wardrobe for years now. Then I have a plain white vest top underneath for dignity.  For accessories I have a pink flower clip in which I got from eBay, this was to continue the summery look, I also have my engagement ring on and some pearl stud earrings which are from superdrug. For Lilly today we have  some 3/4 length pink leggings from Next, also her pink t-shirt is from Next. Then we have some sandals from George, Asda, and her pretty little bow is again ...
