Summertime is Definitely Over

This pic was actually taken a few weeks ago and I forgot to post it then. It is WAY too cold to be wearing this outfit now! I think I had my hair rolled up into a ball on the top of my head here. It sorta looks ridiculous because it's so big! This is another attempt at 'leggings as pants' for me...I think this also worked out well :D You can see my little one getting shade from the sun in his fishermans hat ha ha!

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...Leona Lewis! All pics taken from Go Fug Yourself and you should check out that site too for some very witty stuff!

So, what do you think? x

Happy Halloween!!

I hope you have a spooky day today! Last week at work I had a pumpkin carving morning with some of the members. It was the first time they had ever carved a pumpkin and they really enjoyed it! I decided to make use of the leftover pieces and make them some pumpkin pie for the monthly social we were having a few days later. I've never made pumpkin pie with real puree...always the canned Libbys filling. I was nervous I wouldn't be able to get it to taste as sweet. Well, there was no reason to fear. They came out awesome and here's the link to the recipe I used. I originally wanted to do the bite sized ones on Bakerella but coudn't find a mini muffin tin and wanted to use evaporated milk instead of cream cheese. I'm really excited to know that if my annual Thanksgiving care package doesn't make it from home then I can improvise with some real pumpkins :D

Oh and here's what I wore to work today!

A close-up of my spider tights!

And here's our carved pumpkin!

How Does Your Garden Grow (Irish Version)?

Here's an update on my climbing clematis plants. One on the left is doing pretty well. There were about 3 more blooms a few days after I took these photos. The one on the right...not so much. It is growing pretty steadily but not climbing up the tree. We've tied ribbon around the trunks to try to assist them but I think we might be out of luck. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they don't die!

You Forgot Your Pants!

I don't often wear leggings as pants, in fact I can count the times on one hand. Even in this outfit I'm not sure it qualifies (well obviously it counts since I'm not standing in my knickers!) because my top is long so it's covering up my bum. I think my issue with wearing leggings as pants is that I just don't feel comfortable having my 'bits' on show like that! I always feel slightly self conscious. I've noticed that I don't like the crotch area of my pants (leggings, jeans, etc) to show either and I much prefer longer tops. I have refused to by tops that I really like because they were too short. This didn't used to be the case and I'm not sure when the shift happened. Do you have any habits like that?

Rouching Dilemma

I went out for drinks with some friends in Lincoln.  I bought this dress on ebay not long ago.  It ended up being quite short! Luckily it was a cool day so I was able to wear leggings with it.  I'm not sure how flattering the rouching is though.  I do love the bedazzled shoes I also bought on ebay!
