Bit of a busy day ahead with the normal work schedule as well as a couple of appointments to fit in so I'm already looking forward to crashing tonight & loosing myself in front of the TV.  I know I say this a lot but these weeks sure do fly by - can't believe it's Friday already tomorrow!

Have a fab day  I'll see you in the morning.

The Shacket + WIWT - A Splash Of Pink


Morning ladies seeing as Spring is on it's way & we're only just over a week away until the clocks go forward I thought today we'd look at a wardrobe necessity for the coming months & that's the shacket, or to you & me an overshirt/jacket. The equivalent of Spring's version to a parka.  

A casual & lightweight jacket that's perfect for throwing on & styling with jeans & a simple tee, not to mention teaming with a simple summer dress or even ideal to dress down some classic cigarette pants.  Generally khaki in nature, although there are some grey, black, denim & white versions out there not to mention camouflage versions as well as embroidered ones, it's something that if you don't already own as soon as you do you'll wonder how you ever managed without one!  

As you can see, I've put together an edit of my favourite currently on the high street above & as always you just need to click on the individual image for further details.  I must admit I'm already planning outfits around the one already hanging in my wardrobe (see here) & this year I'm also planning on accessorising with a brooch or two.  In fact pins & patches & generally customising clothing is set to be huge this season.  I'm currently debating whether to invest a few pennies in these, these & these.

Back to today & I'm going with more blue & this time adding a splash of interest with a flash of hot pink & my kitty flats.  I'm really loving the deep 'V' jumper from Cosy Cashmere - so much so I'm now on the look out for a stripe strapless/boob tube kind of top to wear underneath, which isn't something I ever thought I'd write!!  By the way the brand are actually moving from retail to wholesale so they've currently got a closing down sale on with all items half price!!!  Just click here to get shopping & take advantage of the huge savings :-)

So ladies are you a fan of the shacket?  Perhaps it's something you love & would be lost without for days when you need an extra layer?  I don't know about you but I find mine incredibly useful as it's so easy to layer it up with a scarf or jumper for warmth not to mention can so easily be thrown on over a simple cami.  For me it's the ideal addition to my wardrobe for days where I want to feel more casual but still be in my comfort zone of wearing a jacket.  In fact I love mine so much I'm seriously tempted by a camo version this year......but then when did I need an extra jacket hanging in my wardrobe?! ;-)  Anyone else thinking of joining me in 'clicking that button' on this style?  As always I'd love to hear your thoughts not to mention your top picks.

Happy 'hump' day ladies, have a fab day & as always I'll see you tomorrow.

Morning ladies I'm sharing 2 outfits with you today & whilst I generally only share the 1, Tuesday is a 3 outfit day for me.  Firstly my running stuff at silly o'clock, followed by my normal clothes & then a change at midday back into some more activewear for pilates.

You may recall that I've worked with Coco Bay over the past couple of years & I have to say they're one of my favourite brands for swimwear.  So you can imagine my delight when they recently got in touch to let me know that they've now branched out into activewear too.  You can see their full range here & the good news is they've kindly given me a discount code to share with you for 15% off the entire range - just use code MLACTIVE at checkout.

I've put together my top picks above & I've also taken a few pictures of the set I've been sent by Coco Bay, which has fast become my new pilates outfit.  Super soft & comfy plus there's no chance of any slipping of the leggings, which if you've ever tried pilates on a reformer machine you may know what I mean when I say there's been a few exercises that I've in the past felt older leggings slipping down & not in a good way!  Plus I just love the sheer panelling & hot pink detailing, which transforms what could be a simple grey look.

Morning ladies & happy Saturday :-)  Before I share what I'm wearing today I thought seeing as Mother's Day is only 2 weeks away I'd put together some gift inspiration, which will hopefully help for anyone struggling on deciding what to buy their mother's & also something you can perhaps point your other half to if they're needing a nudge in the right direction ;-)  Hubby if you're reading feel free to click away ;-)

Also I wanted to let you know about this stunning embroidered one shoulder top that I 'clicked the button' on earlier in the week & have just taken delivery of - love, love, love.  I can't wait for the weather to warm up enough to wear this beauty it really is stunning & such a good price :-)
