Fish & Chips again... Oops | Tent shopping | Toby likes my new camping chair

We have had some lovely weather here in the UK this week! I have spent my free time visiting family, friends, shopping and cuddling cute kittens! They belong to my guy Bill's sister and her husband. The one on the right (in the photo) is Olive and the other, Bruce Wayne! They are SO lovely! I also went Tent shopping! Something I thought I would never do, but I am quite looking forward to going camping with a few friends... just for one night though! 

What have you been up to this week?

Notes from my closet - #TodayIAm Wearing

Twitter

I have been a lot better at remembering to take #TodayIAmWearing pic's this month. So much so that I decided to pick a top 10 instead of posting them all! That would be a pretty long post! Ha ha. Over the past month I have been loving wearing my green maxi skirt and curling my hair! Let's hope for some more sunshine so I can keep wearing my Summer dresses...

What have you been wearing a lot of this month?

Love, Rachel

Casual Sports Wear

Tee- Adidas, Skirt- Yumi, Ballet Flats- Next, Bag- Marc B, Belt- New Look, Watch- Michael Kors.

I wore this outfit for a Girl's Night in at my lovely friend Kirsty's house. She made Shepherd's Pie! It was SO nice! I bought this adidas tee originally to wear as sports wear but thought it was just too cute to wear to the gym and deserved to be worn as casual wear. 

Do you ever wear sports wear as casual wear?

Love, Rachel

Faux Leather Jacket, Miss Selfridge
Heart print tee, Adidas
Stila In the Light Palette

House warming

Skirt (worn as dress)- Firetrap, Sequinned jacket and leggings- Next, Belt- New Look, Necklace- River Island, Wedges- H&M, Watch- Michael Kors

I wore this outfit to my guy's younger brother's house warming party. I was totally over-dressed! But I would rather be over-dressed than be too casual! Ha ha. It was a great night and Louis (Bill's brother) has great taste in furnishings! His room is like a rock star's room! Speaking of rooms... my Dressing Table arrived yesterday! Yay! Photos coming soon...

Love, Rachel  

Notes from my closet- Delivery!

Next, Stila

Last Saturday was a great day for deliveries! Another pair of ballet flats (I know I'm obsessed!) and the lovely Stila In the Light palette that I bought from Buyapowa for £18.50! I did say that I wasn't going to buy any more makeup for a while... but I have had my eye on this shadow palette for a while and have used it nearly every day since! 

What have you had delivered recently?

Love, Rachel   

My Closet Lust Haves

It's my Dad's 50th birthday coming up next month and we are having a big family party. It's one of those events that you will see people that you don't see very often and catch up on all the news and gossip! So this month I am lusting for an event dress fit for this special occasion, something classic so it can be worn again but with that something special, that edge that I love to find... let the hunting commence!

What have you worn to previous family events?

Love, Rachel

My Style- Coral

Dress- Matalan, Jacket & Necklace- Miss Selfridge, Ballet flats- Next, Bag- Marc B, Belt- New look, Watch- Michael Kors.

I wore this outfit to go food/grocery shopping the weekend before last. The weather didn't know what it wanted to do so I dressed half summer half autumn-ish. I love this dress and have it in Green too! I should wear it more often, so let's just hope for some more sunshine!

What do you wear to go food shopping?

Love, Rachel
