Pre-Birthday Shopping

My birthday money burns a hole in my pocket - I even went shopping a day early just to be sure I'd have it spent before the weekend is out! I decided to wear my Room 31 peter pan collar dress as it was such a lovely day..

We headed to House of Fraser's brand event where I once again lusted over the LK Bennett Annina bag I saw at the Outlet the other day.
Picked up a little dress there and then to H&M where I got a neutral coloured blazer and flowery top (the one I mentioned on Facebook last night - lol). Thanks to my sister for these purchases :)

Browsing in Mango @ House of Fraser

Here's a close up of the handbag I was wearing. Got this in DKNY in London when I was pregnant with the twins. It's only recently that I've mostly ditched the cross body bags so essential when you've two kids to hold onto or a double buggy to push. I'm enjoying re-discovering some of my shoulder bags from when I worked!

The Continental Market is at Belfast City Hall this weekend so we stopped briefly to have a look and also to check out the Titanic Memorial & Gardens, which have been spruced up this year for the centenary to include a new memorial added which lists all the names of those who were on board the ship.

A lovely hour at the shops and strolling around City Hall. Everything looks so much better in the sun, doesn't it? I hope that no matter what you have planned this weekend, you've got your camera with you and are taking pictures. I want all your Jubilee style for my special 'Styled By You - Jubilee' post next week. With everyone who sends a picture entered into a draw! Some great ones in already - thank you!

To give you inspiration, here's my gorgeous boy all dressed up for his school Jubilee Tea Party. The instructions were to dress up as if for a wedding - doesn't he look smart?
