January Blues?

Hello everyone and welcome back to my page and my online ramblings :) We are half way through January (everybody's favourite month of the year) and I'm having a serious case of the January blues. I, unlike many others have decided to NOT par-take in "dry January" or any healthy living or lifestyle changes of any kind, mainly because I actually think I'd go insane if I deprived myself of what little bit of joy I have at the end of my day or working week. I'm not as strong as the rest of you and I need my guilty pleasures. But a massive well done to everyone and keep going

After the wind down of Christmas I always find myself re-evaluating my life, I get like this every so often but especially in January. I think its because I have more time on my hands to think or should I say over-think. I get frustrated with myself because another year has gone by and I haven't achieved half of what I thought I would at this stage of my life, or I doubt the decisions that I have made, am in the right profession? should we have another baby? will we ever own a home? will we get to set the date this year? will I get to travel more? etc etc.... I have this streak in me to always want to achieve more or to do or be better. I'm extremely driven and this can make me restless. Do you ever feel like you have done so much in the past year but so little at the same time? Like your always busy but you haven't a clue why? Time passes by far too quickly and the older I get the less time I seem to have do what I want or have planned to do, it scares the living life out of me. 

One things for sure this year, I want to make lots and lots of memories with fantastic people around me. I tend to consume myself with stupid and trivial things that never seem to matter in the end, but this year I am honestly going to try and live by the motto, "work to live". I couldn't care less if I haven't a penny to my name as long as I am spending it on what makes me and my family happy. No more putting off plans, I find myself having conversations with friends that go a little something like this "yeah I haven't seen you in ages, we may meet up soon" Soon often becomes weeks, even months later or in some cases not at all. I'm sure we are all a little guilty of that sometimes, making false promises. But NO not this year, I have already started planning nights out and trips away, memories will be made this year.

So is it just me? Does anyone else feel like this? or am I just having a serious case of the January blues? Let me know your thoughts.....

Luv Lisa xx

Wedding Fever

There is nothing more I love about a wedding than getting to see all the guests dressed up in their beautiful outfits. It's the one occasion that us ladies tend to go all out for and yesterday I was blown away by all the glamour at my friends wedding. So much so that I was pestering girls for snaps of their outfits. There was that many stunning outfits we would be here all day and night going through them all so I just picked a few to share with you guys

First up was the ever so glamorous Arel. I think you'll agree she looks like she has stepped off of a Hollywood red carpet. I really don't think this picture does justice to how amazing she looked. The dress is from Boohoo and is still available online. Arel teamed the dress up with a elegant pair of black stilettos and black and gold drop earrings

Next up we have the stunning Michelle and this floral number from Asos. The colour was just divine (a mix of blue/mint green) with s beautiful print. The shape of the dress hugged her figure perfectly with a sexy with the off the shoulder detail. She paired it with a fab pair of nude shoes from River Island.

 

This beauty Linda opted for a 2 piece, a black satin skater style skirt from ASOS matched with a beautiful lace nude top by Mylene Klass for Littlewoods. The colours really complimented each other and Linda matched them with these amazing Carvela shoes. The pop of colour in the shoes gives this classic outfit a personal touch. I love this and I think Linda looks stunning

                     

The mother of the Bride wore an amazing metallic blush toned dress from Jenny Packham. The jewel detail around the neckline was to die for and she matched it with a similar toned bag and heels. The fascinator added an extra touch of class to the outfit and I think you'll agree she looks amazing. One of the, if not the nicest mother of the brides outfits I have ever seen

Samantha looks like a goddess in this slinky green jewelled number. This dress is a definite eye catcher with its rich jewel toned detail and it is so beautiful no accessories needed as it speaks for
itself. I love the sexy side slit and you really get a Bollywood/Grecian feel from this dress. It is from Virgo Lounge, look the brand up their dresses are amazing, real head turners

I think you will agree that these ladies look so beautiful and would give any celeb a run for their money. I honestly would wear each and every one of these outfits.

A lot of bloggers do posts on what they have worn themselves (outfit of the day) but that's not really my thing, however I did put up a picture of what I was wearing yesterday. I want to start sharing fashion posts on outfits other girls are wearing because I get very inspired by other peoples fashion choices. I believe women should compliment and empower other woman. We can be a strange bunch, and a lot of the times we will see another woman and in our heads we think "wow she looks amazing, I love her top etc" however we are not great at sharing those thoughts by telling them. 

On a side note the bride looked out of this world. I haven't shared a picture of her as I want her to be the first to share her wedding photos but I will tell you her dress was stunning and she was so beautiful. I just want to end by saying Congrats Mrs Cowan, I hope you and Danny had the day of your dreams xx
