A New Month ....

Happy Friday and so a new month begins! Hopefully Spring is arriving too and that awful cold and damp weather will magically disappear!!  Anyhow I have so much going on this month I don't think I will have much time to worry about weather :)


Talking of Spring I tweeted yesterday that much as I love buying tulips they always seem to droop real fast! I immediately got several replies all telling me to pierce the stem under the bloom with a needle and they last way longer. Not sure how this works but seemingly it is an old florists trick so I thought it was well worth a try!  Here are my tulips this morning post piercing .... looking quite sprightly I think :)


Now onto to some shoe talk.Whilst online last evening I spotted these beauties .... new in at Zara and just had to have them .... I have a feeling they will work well with my Cos dress! Also my youngest daughter pointed out to me during the week that Converse are doing a heeled version in their new range.



I actually quite like this pair from office    they would be great for running about town  or doing a school run One woman I see regularly at our school wears them all the time with jeans, beautiful knitwear and a tan leather satchel bag ... simple styling but she always manages to look absolutely stunning! The fact there is a slight heel on them is appealing to me as I never feel quite right in flats! Worth a try I think:)

Hope you all have a great weekend :)

  1. Thanks for the tip about tulips. I haven't been buying them recently as they don't last and I thought it was maybe just too warm in our kitchen. Must try this! The Zara shoes are a lovely colour. I was looking at a few ankle strap styles last Saturday. Enjoy your weekend!

  2. The shoes would be perfect with your dress but your feet may ache at the end of the busy day. I think some tulips seem to not droop so easily and others fall down the moment they go into the vase I will try this tip. A friend wears a blazer, jeans, white shirt and converse and I love this outfit it is so comfortable and chic. Have a fun weekend.

  9. Rather,all the applications keep running in the background although in
    a low power state,utilizing both processing power and memory that leads to a lower
    battery life. If you don't want to use Safari to navigate to pages, zoom in, and read articles, Byline may be just the app for you. Both Intel and AMD contain information built in the processor to allow the processor to be used efficiently with mobile computing saving on battery life while giving the best performance.

  12. Hi Anne,

    Your tulips are so pretty! Seattle has lots of tulips available in our markets and florist. I've heard about the piercing for longevity and I keep forgetting to do that. I will try it! Tulips are so pretty and I love the way they dance around:) Those pumps are gorgeous.. btw:)

  15. I also saw those slightly wedged Converse during the week and have to say I think they're great. I don't wear Converse as I find them too flat for me ... but this wedge pair look like a definite possibility as I reckon I'd get a lot of wear out of them. Great shoes too by the way. Helen

  16. What a good tip about the tulips - I'll have to try that.

    I think I saw those Zara shoes on another blog, and they look gorgeous. Although I'm not too keen on the straighter heel that seems to be the thing this year. I like a curvy, sensuous heel.

  17. I think the perfect way to welcome spring is with a new pairs of heels!!
