Where did 2012 go?

So...I took a little break from the blog! But where did 2012 go? I last posted in September and can't believe where the time has gone! Somewhere around here I guess....

Make a Statement event SouthGate Bath

We had a lot of fun doing this in October

A busy end to the year with....

A little pool party with girls for Mr C's Birthday and more Birthday celebrations with Miss C

A touch of brightly inspired interior styling

Perhaps a purchase here or there and a little treat on my Birthday 

 

Fresh Winter country walks 

Modelling for an 8 year old sleep-over......Making Popcorn & Humous

Styling some well deserved ladies to the height of confidence

Shopping for bridesmaid type outfits is hard work

The birth of my beautiful niece - long awaited Mimi 

New Years Eve with some of my favourite people 

Finally, the immensely stylish, well planned wedding we've been waiting for...Mrs B-C finally tied the knot in her stunning Sottero gown

Now back down to earth with a thump!!

Looking forward to 2013 and the many spectaculars it will bring. 

London Fashion Week, Bath in Fashion, Bristol Fashion week and plenty more in the line up for Spring 2013. 

I'll be back with more soon :)

Love this wallpaper...

I wish I could wear this colour.

 It makes me look rather ill. But I love this MARY KATRANTZOU t-shirt

I'm always partial to a sip of champagne..

Need I say more?

Vintage, Charity or Junk?!

I'll admit I'm not the biggest charity shop fan when it comes to clothes, but with her inspiring blogs of nothing but the sort, Vintage Amy has made me look at second hand finds in a new light. 

Today, I found myself wandering (yes I was child free, with time on my hands!) the Gloucester Road in Bristol feeling like I was back in Portobello. I don't often have the time to even explore the delights of recommendations from clients, colleagues and friends, but with my far-too-tall-and-beautiful interior designer friend, Michelle and I found some absolute beauties in junk shops, charity stores and vintage boutiques.

So although I wasn't an avid fan before, I'll certainly head in that direction again for some creative inspiration, eccentric characters, good coffee and rare finds.  

With thanks to Vintage Amy for introducing me to her local vintage-esque charity favourite Clic Sargent (see Vintage Amy's blog a couple of days ago) I found a lovely blouse for £8!

Back to school...

As back to school time looms, I spotted Gap's school wear and this picture which makes me think of the way in which I think my daughter Thea will be styling her school uniform this term!
