Welcome to the Weekend post! I’m wearing my classic striped dress that’s so easy to wear
Hands up whos has a least one striped item in their wardrobe?
On thinking about writing this post I started thinking about how many striped items I actually have in my wardrobe and I’m surprised at just how many there are. Funny how things creep up on you like that! I never realised that I was such a fan!
Striped dresses, T-shirts, jumpers and I even have a pair of striped trousers. Great for making those legs appear a little longer than they actually are.
And who doesn’t own a Breton striped top or T-shirt? I can think of a handful that I have. How many items can you think of that are in your wardrobe? I’ve worn my long striped Laura Ashley dress loads this year, and again, it’s just not going to go out of date. You can read that post here
This dress is from next. I’m not sure if it’s still available now after looking online. So I’ve dedicated this weekends “Ten Under Twenty” to striped items this week. So go grab yourself a striped bargain!
I am loving this new bag though from Eastex. A bargain price at just £25.00 here
I found myself another bargain this week!
I managed to bag myself these beauties from Zara online in the last remnants of their sale. Catching those last-minute bargains is a godsend. I got these for an incredible £7.99 plus a couple of pounds for postage. I must have just been online at the right time! There are still some items left at bargain prices so get yourself over there!
I’m pleasantly surprised by this special August edition Glossybox
I actually prefer this one to the last one I received. You can read about that here
My favourite items in this box have to be the handy makeup palette that you can create for yourself. These discs are available to buy singularly for a mere £1.50 each at Essence here Handy for travelling.
The next item that I really like is the Safari Sun Bronzer. The retail price for this is £16.00 So this more than covers the value of the monthly Glossybox already.
The Rodial lip pencil is a bargain addition to the box, but a little dark for me. That will be gifted to the daughter!
The Total repair hair mask smells amazing. I haven’t tried it yet and will let you know what the results are like. The Batiste dry hair shampoo is always handy to have for those in a hurry moments! Plus the little silk wristband is super cute! My favourite Baby-blue colour.
So, all in all, this month’s glossy box was full of great surprises
I’m really enjoying unwrapping it all and as I said before, this subscription that you can get with Glossybox is worth every penny and will also make a good present. You can find out more about Glossybox here and the first box is available for just £6.00
That’s it from me for this week. Have a great weekend. Fingers crossed that the sun will keep shining! If you want to catch every post, please subscribe by clicking on the box to the right-hand side.

Love stripes – so useful. And I spot more fluted sleeves too! Thanks for sharing with #PoCoLo x
This is a lovely striped dress. I just love the cute sleeves! I am a huge fan of stripes and have quite a bit of it in my wardrobe – tees, tops, sweaters, dresses, skirts, shorts, pants, and shoes. Speaking of shoes, I am swooning over your latest find. Simply breathtaking.
Thanks for linking up with Fabulous Friday!

I love your striped dress, the sleeves are fab! I have lots of striped tops and quite a few dresses, they never go out of fashion. You got an incredible bargain with those shoes – I’m at the other end of the scale with size 8 feet but there aren’t so many bargains for those.

Laurie, I laughed when you asked who doesn’t own at least one striped item in their wardrobe. I have about 100 striped things in my wardrobe! I am a huge fan of stripes. And florals. And polka dots. And plaids. And gingham. And just about every other print there is…well, except Aztec prints, they don’t appeal to me much. Anyway, this dress is adorable. And you have it perfectly styled as you always do. But those shoes. Those gray pumps. Oh, I swooned when I saw those. They are magnificent! Thanks so much for joining my #SpreadTheKindness Link Up.

I love the navy blue bag you’re carrying in the photo! #BloggerClubUK
Totally, totally love the dress and the sleeves Laurie! I got a similar striped dress which I love. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. xo Sabina
Love that dress on you! Always love a good striped item.
I love this dress, the cute sleeves just make it! You look fabulous!
So lucky with the shoes – don’t they have great sale prices?? I’ve just bought a cute pair of block heeled sandals for the wedding I’m going to on Saturday, at only £12.99 another bargain from Zara! Like the dress on you Laurie, I’m a big fan of stripes, but haven’t got many items in my wardrobe. Have to cure that soon – lol.

LOVE that striped dress, Laurie. It’s gorgeous on you! I, too, just adore stripes. I’ve got loads of stripes tops and skirts in my wardrobe but no dresses. Hm….must remedy that situation 😉

I love this Laurie perfect for a casual weekend or you could dress it up. Thanks for linking up and sharing at #overthemoon. Have a beautiful week. xx
£7.99! Such a bargain. Zara too! Yes I love stripes. The Next dress looks great on you. I like how accessorised with the Eastex bag. A beautiful bag. I haven’t have associated bags with Eastex. I have to keep my eyes open more often.
This comment appears gobbledegook.
*I like how you accessorised with the Eastex bag. I haven’t ever associated bags with Eastex * is how it was meant.
You look so lovely in this dress, very relaxed and at ease. I do love stripes but mostly in pants. Should get few tops for upcoming summer

I love that dress! Now that I come to think of it, the only striped items in my wardrobe must be Breton tops. I’ve got them in different colours …
Wow, those shoes: they’re fabulous but I wouldn’t be able to walk in them!
I’ve got the same Essence make-up palette! Isn’t it great that you can choose your favourite colours. I put mine together for going on holiday, and chose white, blue, lilac and mint green! xxx
You’ve got me thinking Laurie, I don’t have hardly any stripey items! Perhaps I should buy one or two of your suggestions.
Those shoes are amazing. I could never walk in them in a million years!
Looking fabulous Laurie, what a great dress! But what about those shoes? Amazing!
I don’t think I could walk in those heels but I know you can so I’m longing to see them on. I think I’d be happy to have them in my wardrobe just to look at!
Stripes? Yes, I’ve got a few, I’m totally drawn to them.
Wishing you a sunny Sunday, x.
No!!! Those shoes?? Wow! They are amazing. I could never walk on those heels but they are just so beautiful to look at! No I don’t have a fetish! And yes for stripes. I just ordered a striped dress!
Laurie you look fabulous! I love stripes so much 🙂 Bag and shoes are also great!
I wish you a nice weekend, XO Tina
