Mustard and Polka Dots

I sort of just quickly threw this together when I was rushing to get ready for the day. My dad, aunt, sister and brother-in-law were here (as I previously mentioned) and this was taken the day they arrived. So, I'm cheating a bit, I know...sorry...but I actually forgot I took it! They arrived bang on time (which never happens) so I was taking my time picking out something awesome. I think this turned out pretty good though I didn't have time to do anything with my hair.  We were off to dinner only a small time after I scrambled out the back to take this :D

Happy Birthday to Me!

Okay this isn't a fashion post...I actually didn't end up doing anything today. Hubby made me a yummy dinner (with a big piece of chocolate cake for dessert!) and we watched The Muppets with Rory (who was quiet for most of it). It was a quite night in with my little family and I loved it. And just for fun, here's me in 'cartoon version' drawn by my hubby's cousin Xx

Thanks a Braidy Bunch!

This is how I like to wear these grey jeans! I've brought back the teal top from Penneys and the gold leaf necklace. My hair is braided again but this time I braided from the top instead of the bottom so it is sticking out a bit more on the side. I think I look slightly evil in the last pic...oh well, maybe it's more like sexy evil ha! And a big thank you to Angela for her awesome birthday gift which arrived in the post just in time. I will be modelling some things she sent me soon! :D

Fabulous Friday

Once again, it is time to play "Give it a Miss, Give it a Go or Give it to Me" where I'll post pics of celeb outfits and you can tell me whether you wouldn't wear it (give it a miss), like it and might wear it (give it a go) or love it and want it (give it to me).

Here is this week's contender...Britney Spears. All pics taken from GoFugYourself and you should check out that site too...very funny and witty stuff!

So, what do you think?

Sunday with the Seminarians

I wore this dress I purchased from the Pretty Penny blog store to Church and for breakfast with our Seminarians.   I added silver Nine West flats that have the cutest bling on the front.  I call them my Cinderella slippers!

We go to St. Leo's Catholic Church in Palmyra, Nebraska.  It has been an interesting experience.  All of our other churches have been quite large.  There are approximately 20 to 40 people at each mass at St. Leo's.  The church is very small and was built in the 1880s.   It's very sweet that we have gotten to know people so quickly because our church is so small.

On Sunday we had some Seminarians at mass, they were visiting our parish for the week.  Seminarians are priests in training.  Apparently they really don't have classes to teach priests about the business and practical aspects of running a parish!

Oddly enough, the next day was my first day at my new job.  My assistant, named Andrew, was actually a Seminarian.  He only had three years left and he would have been a priest.  He's a very interesting guy.

May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favour

I seem to be on a 'book' kick lately with my titles. Think it's just because I'm finally catching up on some long overdue reading! I really enjoyed The Hunger Games trilogy...anyone else read them? I thought the movie version was quite well done also. Perhaps taking some inspiration from Katniss, I have found that braiding my hair like this is sorta my new favourite thing. It's really simple and I think it looks cool too :D

Green with Envy

This is the outfit I wore on for my last day at my old job.  This dress is such a fun light fabric.  I love the shiny green hue.  It is from Antonio Melani.  I wore a necklace of glass beads by Premier and Sofft black patent leather pumps.  These pumps are so comfortable.  I really cannot rave enough about Sofft brand shoes.
