Work

I am thinking of going back to work. I know what a decision to return to the corporate world when so many people I know have taken redundancy or just decided to give up.

There is no right decision but I do miss work and now my children are in college I do feel I would like a challenge.

Do not get me wrong it will take a lot of courage to return to a world where  so many are half my age, technology has advanced so much and the pace and culture is so fast moving.But I do think with age comes wisdom, maturity and a sense of self belief.

Of course I do not have a wardrobe that is in anyway corporate so I will need to invest in some new clothes while taking care to stay within a limited budget.

Dresses are so popular for corporate wear and have the advantage of being one item you choose rather than a suit, trousers and top.  Some of victoria beckhams dresses look great but obviously the price is not plus I do not wish to wear spanks every day.

So I welcome your thoughts and advice as I reinvent my CV contact the employment agencies and dust off my black suit.  I realise that opportunities are rare so it may take some time.

Have a fun weekend

My motto for this week

I will be looking forward to Fridays even more

Will have to brush up on my keyboard skills

A victoria Beckham dress

A simple smart black dress

A cos comfortable dress no need for spanks

Also a cos outfit suitable for dress down Fridays.

Fashion

I do love colour and one colour I love at the moment is blush pink. I have a selection of some looks I like. I think it is a feminine colour.

I do not know about you but I seem to be going through a blogging lull at the moment. Maybe it is the time of year waiting for the build up to Christmas.  

Hope you have a great weekend planned. We are going into town on Saturday for a little shopping and some lunch looking forward to it.

A great winter classic coat

I love this blouse so feminine and pretty

I had a jumper like this in my teens

A little flower from my garden

I so love this look so stylish

Such a pretty evening outfit.

My friend is getting a beagel pup this weekend. Oh how their lives will change. But what fun and love they will have.

Have a fun weekend.

Weekend

It was a busy week here my husband was abroad so I was a busy providing taxi service on my own.  But one great benefit was I had such great sleeps as my husband is a snorer and if you are a victim you will understand so well.

Halloween was great I love the cute little children calling to the door full of excitement.

The weekend will be rugby, yoga and going out for dinner,

The weather has got much colder so the scarves, gloves , hats and wooly jumpers are definitely being worn.  I seem to be loving grey at the moment. Here are a few of my favourites.

Have a lovely weekend.

This is a very luxurious wrap

Great to have on your couch

My friend has this bag . This colour goes with everything.

I am a fan of snoods particularly when watching rugby matches.

Just looks so warm.

I have this top. It is so cosy

Perfect outfit

I am going to try and make this pizza over the weekend. So funny. Hope you had a fun Halloween.

I went to Jamie's Italian in dundrum last weekend. I would recommend it friendly staff, great atmosphere, good food and excellent value.  We had a great evening.

Weekend

This time of year I like to organise my wardrobe. One of the items I love to look at on the net are the amazing walk in closets that people have. I do have a walk in wardrobe but it is not as luxurious as many of these.

I do think an organised wardrobe help you gets dressed quicker in the morning.

A lazy weekend ahead my husband is traveling abroad so helping him to get organised and tidying up the garden for the winter ahead.

Of course getting ready for Halloween although my children are older I love  the fun of the children all dressed up calling to the door.

I love the big lampshades and stool

The chair and table add such style

So organised

My favourite so stylish

My wardrobe space needs a little more bling.

Some Halloween items

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the Halloween fun.

Rain rain go away

 It is utterly miserable here today a day for staying indoors lighting some candles , eating chocolate and watching a movie.  I do not mind the cold but this rain makes me miserable.

So I have tried to do a positive rain post.

Here a few things that might cheer you up on a wet day.

Wearing pink

Sitting in a cafe watching the world go by

Wearing your new boots

Lighting your favourite john rocha candles

A lovely candlelit bath

A walk with a loved one in the rain

Wearing perfume

A cuddle from your favourite dog.

Have a lovely weekend

Animal print

 I am going through a little bit of an animal print phase. Being sick in bed has given me too much time to surf the net and worse still buy buy buy.  I now know the name of the Dhl delivery man how sad is that.

With animal print I do think less is more but then when you see the coat I bought you may not agree.

I am trying to be a little less Beth from cornation street and a little more Olivia Palermo or Kate Moss. For thoese of you from abroad Beth was a barmaid on a tv programme who wore very tight low cut outfits and put the cheap in leopard but she was funny.

So here are a few of my favourites. Have a lovely week.

 Beth from cornation street

My coat from A wear

A scarf for a little leopard

Lovely summer trousers for holidays

If you want to overdose

Leopard goes so well with denim

Sienna miller always looks stylish

A skirt and stripes an unusual combination

Oh so funny

Well have I overdosed you on animal print? 

Have a lovely week.
