The best of this months

I tend to devour quite a lot of the monthly magazines, being lucky enough to have several on subscription.

Here are my favourite bits from Red (R), Marie Claire (M), Elle (E) and Cosmo (C), including discount/ offer codes.  Of course i couldn't post without adding some photographs and paintings ......

My obsession with the colours yellow and orange continue unhindered. These young women, or rather the balloon, caught my eye whilst out and about in Oxford. I have no idea why they were holding balloons but it made me smile.


I was in Oxford to attend a meeting as part of my redundancy. In my wisdom i had decided to wear heels (or wedges to be precise) to add height to my petite frame. Why? - well being a few inches taller makes me feel more confident and i need every boost i can get at the moment. Not having worn heels for quite some time i was walking at what i considered to be a reasonable pace (whilst also taking care not to fall over) when i got over taken by this granny. The shame.........

Lots of great stuff, Dorothy Perkins look like they're going for it this year. Yay for wedges.

Would have loved to see your wedges! By this post, I see you have a slight favoritism towards wedges and long colorful gowns. :)
