No particular photo shots this weekend. Unless you want to see me covered in paint and hair standing on end due to dust from decorating! so you have a weekly edit here.
My monthly posts of what I’ve been up to seem to go down well with you, my dear readers, so this is all I have to offer this weekend. I did make a quick escape to an event this week in Covent Garden (keep those invites coming in Pr’s! It’s my only excuse for escape at the moment!)
Trip the lights fantastic!
After my event, I had to get a photo in this lit up little tunnel. The lights changed colour and I got caught in the blue! I say get caught because there was literally a Que to take a photo. Everyone was enjoying snapping away!
I’m wearing one of my January sale purchases above. I fell in love with this River Island Jacket last year when they launched it in a Tan colour. It sold so quickly but I couldn’t believe my luck when I found this Navy one on their sale rail. No longer available but I will be very surprised if it doesn’t come back into their store again soon.
Burt’s Bees Makeup Launch
A welcome invite dropped into my mailbox for the launch of Burt’s Bees new makeup range. I have to say I was very impressed! I imagined because of how natural Burt’s ingredients are that colours would be wishy-washy. I have had their lipsticks in the past and found them moisturising but more of a tint than a lipstick.
The new makeup looks excellent and will be great for us sensitive skin people. I was particularly drawn to the foundation, I thought the texture and coverage was very good. You can find out more about the new makeup range here at Burt’s Bees. I’m looking forward to trying my gifted items in the goody bag.
Sale Purchases
[lookbook id=”3142″ show-legend=”true” show-desc=”true” show-reveal=”true”]
When a high-end highstreet brand has their sale I try to wait right up until the last minute to grab the best bargain. I did have a lovely Reiss blouse in my on-line shopping bag and thought about it and carried on shopping there.
No sooner had I finished the blouse was sold out! You have to be very quick! The sale items are so greatly reduced at last minute and yes, you do have to browse for size but I did find myself some lovely trousers that I couldn’t resist. Famed for their excellent tailoring I thought I would give trousers a try.
The Reiss sale is on until Sunday Midnight. I have listed a few above with the new Lookbook. Just click on the numbers and you will get taken straight to the item if still in stock. Go get a bargain!
An Obsession with all that’s round!
Getting ready for spring-wear I’ve just purchased this bag from River Island (click on the No.1 for a closer look) I fell in love as soon as I clapped eye’s on it. I swear I have an obsession with round handled handbags!
This obsession started last year. Here’s my first round handled bag and I still love it just as much today. I now have four round handled bags!
New Vlog
My vlog this week is all about that gorgeous jacket that I featured a couple of weeks ago. If you would like to come shopping with me and see how I chose the jacket take a look.
That’s it from me. Back to cleaning up that dust!

Your choices are awesome. And you look lovely. But I always have to have a bag go over my shoulder. It’s a think with me.
That’s how this week is for us, Laurie…..very laid back and nothing real exciting. But it’s funny how we can find so much to talk about anyways…and that’s a good thing.
You’re just like me with the sales. I have a hard time paying full price anymore, especially when there are some great pieces reduced in price that I love! Besides the fact I don’t NEED anything…ha ha!!
XOXO

Author
Thanks Ruth. I was very impressed with the Burt’s Bee’s xx
Hi Laurie, I love that photograph of you in the light tunnel. The lights make the street in the background look black and white. I can see why that RiverIsland jacket sold out. I love the fact Burts Bees are making makeup. I will check it out online.

Thanks Karen xx
Oh my goodness, of course I had to come over to take a closer look at that fabulous jacket of yours Laurie! I love it and will be scouring through eBay in the hope of finding one. Navy would be fine, in fact I think I prefer that to the idea of tan. Your blog is looking super Laurie now you have this new template – it’s very jazzy!

Thanks Anna. Glad you like the new template. I’ve been working hard! This is the third colour that River Island launched. It must be popular, so I’d keep my eye out there. If I see it I will let you know xx
It’s great you got invited along to the events and I love that photo in the light tunnel, so fun! That jacket was a great sale find 🙂
Hope that your week is off to a good start 🙂 The weekday wear linkup is live on my blog, I’d love you to join! 🙂

Thank you! I will pop over at some time xx
Still living the dream, Laurie, despite the paint and dust – well done for getting out of the dungarees and into your beautiful fringed jacket. And I’m still getting a heart flutter looking at that dress/jacket/boots outfit from last year …
Hugs, Mary x.I

It was good to escape Mary! I’m having such a job keeping up with everything, and finding stuff that’s packed away is driving me crazy! xx
That’s awesome that Burt Bees has a new make up line! I love their lip balm and lipstick. Though I agree it is more of a tint and it comes off easily. Your navy fringe jacket is beautiful. That is a beautiful find because it is unique. Cool photo in the tunnel. Perfect to match your jacket!

Thanks Donna. I hope you enjoy the film xx
That’s a lovely jacket Laurie, River Island isn’t a shop I normally go in, but maybe I’ll pop in next time I’m in town! Great place to take photos too, I can see why they were queueing. Thanks for sharing your busy week, enjoy the rest of your weekend – we’ve been in the garden today cutting the hedge!! Jacqui Mummabstylish

River Island has some lovely items, Jacqui. I like to shop in there. I’d rather you than me re-hedge cutting! But I would swap for my house full of dust! xx
