StyleMeJuly is finally here :)

So lovelies,
If you follow me on Instagram you'll know I took part in StyleMeMay... well I say take part because although 95% of the time I followed it I didn't always remember to take a picture :).
Anywhodoole StyleMeJuly is here and I am going to do my best you join in.

I reason I join is I find having to source an outfit to fit in with themes of the day makes me use more of my waredobe. It also makes me think outside the box, and put things together that I may have never done before.

Now I would love if you decided to join in too, if you do the list is below:

I would love to see your outfits so don't forget to add me on Instagram.
You can find more about Hilary Rushford on her Dean Street Society site, she is really lovely.
I hope you're having a fab weekend.
Take Care

You can never have too many shoes!!

Hi Lovelies,
How are we? I am looking forward to this weekend.
I am meeting friends on Saturday & having a much needed relaxing Sunday

Anyway now if you follow me on twitter or instargram I have been going on about a pair of heeled Clarks brouges I have been drooling over.

Well I ordered them in store and finally got them :)

I am not normally a shoe girl but I fell in love & I decided to wear them to the House of Beth Summer Launch. I will blog more about this in the next couple of days but for now I thought I would share  my outfit.

I picked this dress up in my local Cancer Research shop, I think it was about £5. It is hand made & it is such a comfortable dress. I feel I can just throw it on & with a pair of shoes whether it is my new brouges or a pair of brown loafers it makes me look like I have made an effort.

I added a couple of accessories to add some interest, what do we think? :)

The floral pattern is so cute, I love how the colours work together, especially the pop of red.

I love picking up items in charity shops, not only does it almost grantee someone else won't have the item, it also means the money you pay goes to something worth while.

Anyway I am cream crakered so I am off to bed shortly.

Have a great evening & I'll be back soon.

Ciao for now

Oh joy :)

Hi my dears
Well I have to own up!
As some of you have cottoned on, I am addicted to dresses!

I recently added this little number to my collection from JOY, not only is it mustard, but it has a matching belt!! Whats not to love right??!

It is just so damn cute! Check out the pattern! I think Sid the Snail likes it too :)

I also got this bag, it looks small but it has lots of room, I fell in love with it instantly.

Joy is fast becoming my favorite shop not only did I buy my favorite jumper last year but this is my second dress from JOY & I'm sure it won't be my last.

I would really recommend you pop a long to the JOY website now :)

I hope you're having a lovely weekend :)

Trina & the multi coloured dress.

Hi All,
How do you like my dress? It's a vintage 1960/70's original. You can tell because it is made so well also metal zip gives it away :)

I got it on eBay last year but it was a little snug, however with my pre-wedding diet & my gym sessions I have managed to fit in to it nicely.

Now I am sure I have told you a thousand times but I love the color mustard!!
So I paired it with a mustard cardi & tights.

I wanted to be comfy walking around London so I threw on my converse, I really like this outfit because it is colorful, comfy & combines all my favorite colors together. My favorites being Green, Purple & Mustard, I am just glad the work well together :)

I also wore one of my snail brooches I recently got from my local cancer research shop. I couldn't decided between the brown, green or cream version so I brought all three. Well they were only 50p each & it was gong to charity so how could I not! Right?? :)

I did get some funny looks, but I just put that down to the colors I was wearing :) I love these really bold prints from the 60/70's era. They are so fun I just can't help but smile when I catch my reflection.

So tell me, what are your favorite colors?

Have a super fab week.

Not so little moo anymore!

Hi Lovelies,
How are we?
This weekend as passed by so quickly, but then again they do say time flies when you're having fun & fun was definitely had :)

It was my niece Macey's (I call her moo!) 10th Birthday last weekend & I decided that instead of a present I would take her out for the day & spoil her a little; so that is what Mr Berto & I did yesterday.

We took the train to central London, then we had a look around the shops then went for lunch at Hard Rock.  It was so cute when the dessert came, they made her stand on her chair & everyone sang Happy Birthday to her. Macey was so shy at first but then she couldn't stop smiling :)

She is such a cutie, I can't believe how fast she has grown up. I remember being in the hospital holding her when she was born & thinking how small she was.

I am so proud of the young lady she is becoming even with her little moods... yep 10 going on 14! hehehe.

Macey & I brought each other friendship bracelet, I love that Macey always remembers my favorite colour so she brought me the green ones & I brought her the blue ones.

Well I hope you have had a lovely weekend.

Ciao for now

Cardiff Bound

Hi All,

I hope you having a lovely jubilee weekend :)

I had my sister Spec & my lovely friend Amelie over for the evening and we had yummy burgers and watched Inception.

Right now I am typing this post from the back of the car in which Mr Berto is driving me & his friend to Cardiff for the weekend to see some friends who recently moved there.

Before we left I got Mr Berto to take some pictures of me in one of my many dresses. I love this dress because it has the cutest peter pan collars. I know I am not the only one out there who loves them.

I kind of felt I looked like I was in school uniform, so I grab my copy of Little Women and had some fun.

I love it when you have certain dresses that you can just chuck on a pair of tights and your brogues and your ready to go.

My dress is from Joy AW 2011 and My brogues are from Clarks circa 2011.

Well that’s what I am wearing today. Not very patriotic in colour but quintessential English style wouldn’t you say?

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Ciao for now.
