Belated Jubilations...

 In between wrecking my hair this weekend (see here for story on that) I fit in a little party at my parents to celebrate the Queen sitting on a chair for 16 years.. or so my daughter explained it. Unfortunately she wasn't with us this weekend so we will have a repeat next Sunday just for her but I thought I'd share the photo's I captured in her absnece. In honor of her majesty I may have overdone it on the Pimms a little but luckily I was home so early I slept right through my hangover and was bright eyed and bushy tailed for baby wake-up at 7am.

It should have been a garden part but unfortunately as most of you know, it wasn't exacty BBQ weather. For what I wore see here and for those interested in little Milo Bears outfit , here.

Hope you had a fab weekend however you spent it!

Wedding Countdown - Ella & Milo's Outfits

5 DAYS TO GO

Several people requested to see the kids wedding outfits so todays post and video are dedicated to just that. As you know I am (almost always) on a budget and our wedding is no different. Lee is wearing a suit he already had, my dress was around £30 from ASOS and the kids clothes are also from the highstreet. Ella will be wearing a dress from Next (found here) which she chose and was a bargainous £22. I bought her the matching shoes (also in that link) for £10 but they were a little big so I ended up finding her another pair (shown below - apologies for the quality) from Primark for just £4. Her flowery headband was also from Primark in the sale for only £1.

  I can't link to this one I'm afraid as it's no longer for sale online but it was £7.99 I believe from H&M before Christmas. He wore it (below) at New Year (forgive the moustache.. I couldn't resist) but I initially bought it for the wedding. It's just so cute and he is growing so big it will fit him that bit better this weekend. So both outfits were an absolute steal and while they may not look like much here I think it will all come together on the day. Already can't wait to see the photos!

Can we just take a moment to talk about tights?

I haven't worn tights in YEARS and I had no idea the wondrous powers they possessed. I currently have cellulite all the way to my knees (ahh the joys of motherhood) but I couldn't spot ANY through my magic tights...AND I TRIED!!! I may never take them off!

Milo stayed home with Grandma being his cute little self...

Dinner was delicious! King Prawn Linguine topped with half a lobster? Yes Please! For anyone in the area, Central Park in Doncaster is still great under new management ..I'd heard some bad reviews but it's absolutely worth a visit if you happen to find yourself around these parts.

Oh and of course there were cocktails...

My Big Distraction

I know you all know but I had a baby recently. I haven't posted any pictures of him here and thought I would for those who haven't seen him yet. I've already blogged and vlogged about him here and here so you can check that out if you're interested. He was born on 15/11/11 and he we named him Milo. He is 100% of the reason my blog posts have been lacking in frequency and perhaps lower in quality lately...you can imagine it's hard to get anything done with a cute baby around to play with. He is the best behaved boy, though, so I really have no excuse for shirking my blogging responsibilities. He sleeps well and generally doesn't like to bother anyone.

I have managed to film a few non-baby related videos for my beauty YouTube channel since Milo was born but here are his YT debuts...

Thank you to everyone that has sent kind messages since his birth. I am doing much better and he is perfect, 2 weeks old tomorrow and life is just about returning to somewhere near normal.

Usual beauty blogging will resume shortly!
