I shared this blouse with you on my post from last week where I had been in H&M and done a bit of a try on. I'm really pleased with it and love how it makes my biker jacket look more feminine. I'm also loving this in-between weather where you can wear a light blouse/jacket/ankle boot combo again. In my comfort zone for sure.
Biker Jacket - YAS (past season)
Cream/Black Blouse - H&M
Jeans - Gap Premium Skinny - Gap Outlet
Black Ankle Boots - Clarks (AW12)
This is the first I've worn a heel in months - I had a few elastic ankle moments but mostly was able to keep upright. My back has actually been amazing this past week with virtually no pain as long as I stay upright. Drop a £20 on the floor and I'll have to let you have it but that's ok - I have children with healthy backs who are willing to pick everything up for me...well mostly everything other than shoes & laundry.
I have to give my friend Kate credit for her help in this regard. Even though my back pain had eased, I was left for the past few weeks with residual sciatic pain down my leg that wouldn't go away. Kate is an advanced reflexologist and told me about a particular reflexology movement that works on pressure points in the heels and helps ease sciatic pain. Well, for a few seconds it hurt like hell and almost made me cry but it was only for a moment of a blissful 1 hour treatment that completely relaxed me. Reflexology really is amazing. Next day, the sciatic pain was gone and a week later, it's still gone! If you're local, check out Kate's Facebook page here. She's doing adult treatments for £20 & kids are just £10 during September - it's a great stress reliever for the whole family as the AQE/GL looms!
Before I go, I've some more new stock that's arrived in the shop. I found a local supplier who has some gorgeous pieces including this stunning similar copy of a Zara necklace that Kate Middleton wore recently. I have it in stock in a silver and rose gold finish in limited numbers - I think as I type, there are only 2 of the silver ones left an 4 of the rose gold. So if you want to order and it's out of stock, you can back order it and I'll have more stock on Monday. NOTE - it's not an exact replica - Kate's has bling all over it...this is much more wearable in my humble opinion :). Oh and there's a tennis-style bracelet that looks amazing with this necklace - on this link.

I am so much more comfortable in this weather than the summer. No false tan on legs, hair to keep the warm and boots!
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit and great news about your back. Lynne x
ReplyDeleteI definitely prefer the cooler weather, although it's still very warm and sunny in the afternoons, which makes things tricky as the mornings are so cool. But I'm still very happy that we're back into boot and jacket weather again! Great look by the way!
ReplyDeleteLove the look Avril, the blouse looks really versatile, looks great with your edgy leather jacket and boots. So glad to hear your back is better it is so debilitating but glad that it is on the mend with a bit of help! Xxx
