Let it rain! 💧

New and noteworthy: 

 Yup, Bear got me wellies for my anniversary pressie - but not just any wellies, these high shine super stylish ones. 😍 Im thinking school runs and Autumn strolls in the park - well put it this way, I won't be waiting for the rain to come to start using them! 

Personalised pressie

Customising Cat

Hubby went that extra mile in pursuit of finding me the perfect birthday pressie.  A personally monogrammed "Neverfull" that’s uniquely mine - Thank you Bear, I love it! ❤️

In Love With LV

 My 41st is approaching quickly and these are an early birthday pressie, (sold out everywhere) trainers in this year's hottest fusion of orange and pink. Love love love em! Been bed bound with the worst of colds since returning from our amazing New York trip, but pics coming up soon.  

Inside Info - my Autumn list

Whats the meaning of life: L.O.V.E - and to contribute/give back.

Any trips booked? Yes, whoop whoop! Child free trip for Bear and I to New York and ski holiday in Courchevel, France - both during Spring 2017

Which nail polish colour? For Autumn (and Winter) it's mainly very dark red, nearly black.

What's my happy place? I feel most at peace when the whole family is gathered and when we're on holiday surrounded by beautiful landscape and/or water, away from the usual routines and all the must-dos.

Best beauty product? Chanel Hydramax moisture mask that I've blogged about before.

If I could be remembered for one thing, what would it be: A great mother and wife, and in an ideal world I would like to be known as having little or no ego (which I'm working on in my weekly CBT *cognitive behavioural therapy* sessions).

TV series I'm currently watching: Just started "The Night Of" on Sky Atlantic - my latest crime drama obsession!

Fave Autumn accessory? My huge Nova Check Burberry cashmere scarf and this black fur gilet as well as this silver/grey one:

What is my greatest fear? To die when my kids are still young.

Fave Autumn drink? Can't live without my morning soya Cappuccino with a little cinnamon and Stevia sprinkled on top.

What am I listening to right now? Rockabye by Clean Bandit ft Sean Paul and Anne-Marie

Do I like to be complimented? I think I need a lot of reassurance from my family, but I always make sure to reciprocate.

Latest news: Whole flat has just been redecorated bright white and we bought new wooden two-tiered shutters for all our windows. Also new large super-soft rug with matching lamps in living room in grey/silver, and kitchen cupboards painted that same colour.

What food sums up happiness? No particular food actually, only the great feedback I quite often get after cooking for Bear.

Do I have a high pain threshold? I had an epidural throughout the birth of both of my kids, need I say more? I don't do pain lol!

Fave Autumn shoes: my new smart-casual LV trainers Bear got me for our Wedding anniversary, and my nearly 5(!) year old Prada biker boots.

Last song I Shazamed:  "Change my love" from Craig David's new album 🎶

What talent do I yearn for? Playing the guitar like my Mum and brother

What book do I recommend most to others? The Monk who sold his Ferrari by Robin Sharma - Get it or regret it! 

Happy 5th Anniversary!

Today marks the 5th year (1825 days!) together with my big 6'3" Bear 🐻   - I started off the day at Louis Vuitton's flagship store, and Heathrow Airport is coming up next, wee hee! 

Here's to many more years of love and happiness together darling- 

The best is yet to come!

Latest from Louis Vuitton

This seasons must-have"Cliff Top Sneakers"

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the very last pair available in the whole of the UK and Europe's online store too (note sold out in all sizes!) - I love wedge trainers that oozes style as well as comfort and gives you that extra height. Also, they are perfect for strolling around in central London, for the school run and lately I've worn them going out for dinner with jeans and a blazer too :-)

LV shoulder strap

School run this morning

Thanks to my new adjustable shoulder strap (that you can now purchase separately from most LV shops), my Damier Berkeley is now back in the game LOL, as I can wear it cross body!

Two short handles are simply not convenient when you're a full time mum needing both hands for pushing the pram and looking after the kiddies at the same time - So this is the perfect solution! 

Welcome weekend!

These new babies will accompany me on the long, hot days whilst on holiday in August

1. Thought for the day: Disgusting, Putin and Russia, utterly disgusting! I am outraged! (after reading this)

2. This morning I... hubby made me tea and breakfast in bed as I wasn't feeling too great

3. Latest property hunt news... We have, at this moment in time, viewed a mews house in Marylebone Village, three times, and we are about to view it again next week. Exciting indeed!

4. At the moment I hooked on.....my home-made version of frozen yoghurt, where I blend full fat Greek yoghurt and Atkins chocolate protein powder - simply divine!

5.Today.. Mum and I booked her a ticket to come to London in a couple of weeks - YAY!

6. Currently loving.... my chic new LV (Summer 2013) monogram wedge sandals

7. Plans for the weekend: Celebrate Bear on Father's Day, and enjoy the festivities at the Marylebone Summer Fayre

8. Current Nail colour: red 'Dragon' by Chanel

9. Last song I tagged on Shazam: Figure 8 by Ellie Goulding

10. Upcoming holiday: Torba Bay in August :-)

Ta da! This is my healthy low carb version of the otherwise very sugar ridden FroYo that is so popular nowadays

Anniversary pressie!

On Sunday Bear got me this stunning monogram Lurex shawl in brown (this is the new version of the monogram ones I already have) that has this beautiful shimmer to it from the soft shine yarn they've used.
It's feels like such a luxurious piece and the colour is simply perfect for the Autumn and Winter that's round the corner! :-)

This picture really doesn't do the shawl justice as it's taken with my phone - look here for a better perception of it

Lovely LV

Me earlier today before heading out. Today's outfit: white leather loafers from Sweden (Din Sko), Miss Sixty skinny jeans, pink quilted Ralph Lauren jacket, white Hermes belt, a white blouse from H & M.

When I went to town earlier to look for an outfit to wear to Wimbledon this week, I passed by Selfridges where they have dressed their window with the very classic Speedy bag by Louis Vuitton.
Audrey Hepburn really made the Speedy happen after it was made for her, and ever since, it has been one of Louis Vuitton’s most popular handbags. I personally am not too keen of the large LV monogram spread all over the bag.

I however, am the proud owner of a Louis Vuitton Damier Berkeley which name supposedly derived from the chic London 'neighbourhood', Berkeley Square. It's got smooth leather trim, a red micro suede lining and a golden “Louis Vuitton Inventeur” badge on the front.

The Speedy is undoubtedly the quintessential Louis Vuitton bag. Here are loads of them in the current window decoration at Selfridges. (see if you can see me taking the photo in the reflection)

My Damier Berkeley has in comparison to the Speedy got handles that are adjustable in length, two side outside pockets offer additional storage room for mobile phone or keys.
