Wedge booties.

I’ve been in love with Isabel Marant boots for some time. The iconic Dicker boot has become a staple and I love it’s casual coolness. I also love her dressier boots and I have my eye on the fringe bootie from her collection with H&M that will launch in November. I just hope I can get online before the inevitable hm.com meltdown on the 14th.

Another boot I have fallen for is the Scarlet wedge boot but at $1500 they will never be justified. However, my new high street love, Mango, has come to my rescue with their ‘tribute’ to the Scarlet. At $189 they are too good to say no to I think.

We’ve had a fun packed weekend as the kids have been home for Fall break and Simon visited us from Stockholm. My Fall break started on Thursday night with a great night out with some other Moms from school. Lots of laughter and chat.

Simon arrived on Saturday night and I grilled steaks…wearing a ‘statement necklace’ – see I’m trying my accessories!

Last night we headed out to a steak house – yes I got my protein in this weekend! Plenty of great Italian red and a fabulous filet brought the weekend to a great end.

I cannot say how much I love this Zara dress – the fabric is just brilliant – slinky, stretchy, supportive, easy care – and I love the color. Just a great, great dress and I plan to wear it with leggings in the winter.

So now it’s time to enjoy the amazing weather we have and head to the park for Columbus Day before our routine returns tomorrow!

First of all my Golden Goose arrived!! Yay!!! SO fast!! But boo!! Bugger they are too big!! I ordered 39s – both my other pairs are 39s – but these leopard print ones are ENORMOUS! So off they go back, with the 38s on their way to me. Why must a brand be so inconsistent with sizing? The good thing is they are lovely – quite muted and not too loud at all – if you can say that for leopard print:)

It’s definitely Fall here now – the jeans and boots are out in full force, along with scarves – it’s very exciting! This weekend we have Fall break from school too so it should be fun packed with play dates for Poppy and Hugh, and Mom and Dad:)

Today I am wearing – shock, gasp, horror – lots of ‘old’ stuff. My Boden drop shoulder jumper (from the clearance), Gap camo jeans, Zara scarf and grey Newbury boots. Look at that turf behind me! We have a whole new yard to enjoy – no more rotting swing set causing a hazard to anyone!

Monday saw me in my new H&M ‘coatigan’, Fayza jeans, Vince Ninas and an old Zara black tee. The sunglasses are Chanel from last year (similar here).

Tuesday I wore my fabulous leopard print hat, old AllSaints tee, old J.Crew jacket (similar here), camo jeans from Gap and my canvas Newbury boots. Yes, yes, yes – quite a few ‘older’ loved items coming back out for Fall!

Yesterday I eventually changed into my Boden St. Ives jumper, Fayza jeans, Havaianas and J.Crew wool cap – I was very lazy and worked from home while some burley men worked in the yard laying the turf:) Sorry for the fuzzy photo – I think I was still shaking after a tabata session in spin class – I thought I might actually hurl it was such hard work!

Unfortunately we underestimated the amount of turf we needed so they’ll be back next week to finish the job…

My weekend starts tonight with a girls’ night out – margaritas and tacos – I can’t wait!

I’ve been a bad, bad girl.

I’ve been spending again. Some items just haven’t been worn till now, others are brand spanking new. Want to see?

Okay first up is a little gem from Fiona’s Avenue57 blog shop. This is a beautiful silk dress and it comes in navy, mocha, black and plum. I have all four ooops. Reason being that buying all 4 was still cheaper than buying one similar style dress from AllSaints. Justified? Pah what the hell. I ADORE this dress! Fiona will ship to the US too so make sure you take a gander on her store – there are some gorgeous items at brilliant prices!

I’ve worn it here with Rag & Bone Newbury boots, an old H&M scarf and my AllSaints Boston cardigan (old).

Next up – the Diesel Jogg Jeans. These have to be the softest, most comfortable jeans I have ever worn. Expensive – yes – but I bought mine with a 30% off coupon which recently expired – but it just goes to show that Diesel do offer discounts so sign up for their newsletters in case another one appears!

The jumper is Zara and did you notice the boots? Err ehm. Okay so my wicked friend Martha messaged me to tell me about the La Garçonne sale last month. These petrol Newburys were heavily discounted so I sealed the deal. They are a fabulous green/blue – well petrol color!

Okay so now the recent purchases. Mango delivered super quick. Remember I was quite taken by these coats the other day?

Well what should arrive last night? I love them. Mango US sizing is off – they have tried to account for the larger US woman – but it just ends up being confusing. So a US Large is a UK/Euro Medium. I ordered a US Small/UK Medium in the leopard coat – it is oversize but it is meant to be – I think I would lose the drama with the US XSmall.

The puffer is a US Large – so a UK XL!! These fit small – and I ordered the US L as there were no mediums left – I probably could get away with a US M but have decided to keep the large so I can wear it as I have here with my denim jacket under it, or a blazer.

So what do you think? I should be pretty much done now for the winter! A Zara box and an H&M box have just arrived for the kids too so that will be fun when they get off the bus today!

15 years of sh*ts and giggles.

15 years ago today I walked into a hotel room filled with fabulous friends and family to marry the man I still love and adore today. No one makes me giggle like he does, or challenges me intellectually like he does, or makes me feel as sexy as he does. We started married life as we continue it today – setting out to laugh often and fight rarely, take risks and avoid ruts, respect and not take for granted. Love you honey.

Two of these photos are our first dance to “Love Me Tender” – the other two are when we cleared the dance floor to “Satisfaction” – easy to spot which is which:)

In the excitement of the day I still haven’t decided what to wear tonight. It will probably be dictated by a loose waistband as we are having a fancy five course dinner with wine. Stay tuned on instagram for updates!

My outfits over the past couple of days have been dictated by the cooler weather here. It is perfectly autumnal in Atlanta at last!

Boots – Rag & Bone Newbury // Jeans – Zara (old) // Tank – Pipali tank AllSaints (old – this season’s tank here) // Cardigan – AllSaints (old – similar this season here)

Labor weekend is traditionally the ‘end’ of summer – though we get at least another month of summer-like weather. Having said that we have woken up this morning to torrential rain – the garden is a mud pit – so much for our pool plans today. Hey ho, we’ve still had a fun packed weekend to say farewell to summer with a bang.

On Friday I caught up with a friend for lunch who I haven’t seen for probably eight years or so. We used to work together, then she moved to D.C. to study law. It was great fun to see where the years have taken us and we talked and talked as you can imagine! I can’t wait to make it a regular lunch date.

Saturday started early. Every year on Labor weekend the weirdest people flock to Atlanta. I have a strange affinity for these weird folk. They are the Dragoncon delegates. Downtown Atlanta becomes populated by Klingons, wookiees and stormtroopers for the weekend. Fantastic fun.

Hugh wasn’t that impressed by the early start:

Darth Vader must have heard about the Death Star – he looked a little dejected.

I didn’t get a full outfit image that day – I assure you I didn’t dress up – though I’m tempted for next year:) I wore the same as here though – the grey Asos t-shirt dress – with my Golden Goose sneakers (similar here).

On Saturday evening we went out for a wonderful dinner with friends. It was a long, lovely, indulgent evening with lots of great conversation. To commemorate Labor weekend I wore all white.

These days Poppy and Hugh can’t resist getting involved in the photo taking – budding bloggers I tell you – though Hugh ain’t that impressed by his sister trying to steal the limelight:)

Last night we headed to the Braves game. It’s such a fun thing to do with the children now they can sit through nine innings. The music, the games, the food all take precedent over the actual baseball game – a good thing really as we lost. Poppy is now an expert at gaining enough attention to get us on the big screen with the FanCam – twice last night! I really need to make more of an effort for Braves games with the amount of exposure she is getting us! We were even lucky enough to have a free post game concert with Big & Rich. Baseball really is the best value when it comes to family entertainment – fours hours of relaxation and fun for $10 each!

So today we may have to change plans – the rain is still falling. I fancy a good movie day curled up with my gorgeous family – sounds good to me.

Okay amateur meteorologist alert – this is the weirdest August weather we have ever had in the 14 years I’ve been here! SO much rain and now today we are only in the mid 70s with temperatures – which is nice I have to say – but a little weird to say the least on August 15th.

There is always a positive spin though no? It just means I get to wear a cardigan and ankle boots – and our office air conditioning is so bloody cold I could have gotten away with gloves and a snood! I love my AllSaints Venice t-shirt dress from earlier in the year and this is the first time I’ve bared my legs in it. It has a drape to it on the left side which doesn’t show well in the photos I’m afraid – I need to get better at holding my Nikon with one hand:) I’m eyeing up these alternatives on ASOS too – they are a great price and I love the oversize look. They’ll be great on their own with a fabulous scarf, or worn with leggings as the cooler temperatures arrive. It’s available in black and grey and be warned ASOS tend to fit large.

The Boston cardigan was a fabulous AllSaints sale purchase when I was in the UK last year, and of course the boots are the luscious Rag & Bone Newburys in tan canvas. Indoor photos again I’m afraid – it’s so dark in the mornings now we’re up for the school bus!

I need to consider my outfit choice for tomorrow – I’m still celebrating my birthday with an indulgent kid free lunch with my Husband – I can’t wait!

Just for fun.

Last night it occurred to me, as I was surfing some blogs and Instagram, that there are a lot of folks out there running, working out, doing crossfit etc. in preparation for the summer. I find it incredibly motivating seeing what others are up to in their work out regime and I love chatting with people about what works best for them. So I have a new challenge for you – just for fun:)

Every day I work out I will upload a post work-out photo on Instagram (poppysstyle) and tag it with #PSFitClub. Follow me here and leave a comment including the #PSFitClub. I’ll follow you back, and all you need to do is upload your post work-out photo tagged with #PSFitClub – easy hey? We can have our own virtual, global training group. Great motivation! I want to see rosy cheeks, sweaty brows and dirty sneakers/trainers. Tell us what your goals are, what you have done, how you feel, and what your reward will be. In 6 months time we can compare photos from now and then! Have fun with it. To start us off here I am after my hot, humid, sauna like run here this morning. After today – for those of you that have zero interest in working out – I’ll just be posting #PSFitClub photos on Instagram🙂

And now the reason behind #PSFitClub – so I can continue to drink wine, eat chocolate and wear fabulous clothes! Here’s what I’ve worn so far this week.

Trousers – J.Crew factory (old) // Shirt – J.Crew popover // Shoes – Nine West

This post is dedicated to Charlie – my favorite man in Atlanta after immediate family:) Charlie is the Manager at the AllSaints concession in Bloomingdale’s and he is currently making me green with envy. Follow him on Instagram and you can see his exploits as he tours my home turf and visits AllSaints HQ and the various AllSaints stores in London.

Just for Charlie today I put on my Phinius dress – what I would like to call vintage AllSaints – it was the first item I bought off Charlie – probably almost 5 years ago now, and still one of my favorite AllSaints items. It’s one of those dresses that is so easy to wear and when I slipped it on this morning I made a vow to wear it more often – especially as my Newburys work so well with it.

Gosh that looks so odd to see it in writing – I’m 41 3/4. I have to say I don’t feel what I thought almost 42 would feel like. I certainly don’t see myself as old, or middle aged for that matter. I still buy clothes that I like rather than what I, or others, think I should be wearing. I just have a few extra greys that need covering each month.

So am I wearing a skirt that is too short for my age? What do you think? I didn’t consider it too short till just now. I bought it based on the Michael Kors skirt I’d seen and I love the color. I think it is the only yellow item I have in my closet though – it’s definitely not normally a color I gravitate towards.

The best leggings ever!

7 Replies

I love leggings, and as you know I have the TopShop faux leather leggings that I bought from Nordstrom, which I last wore here – but I have found some even better ones!

Dear Ruby is a boutique located in Utah – a long way away from Atlanta – but I have known about them for a while. I discovered them last year while looking for jewelry – of which they have a great collection of extremely pretty items, all at fantastic prices, especially their bib necklaces. Anyway, I had ‘liked’ them on Facebook and the other day in my newsfeed I saw that they were giving away some faux leather leggings. I took a peek and found these on their site for just $14!! They also have them in oxblood, and all their prices are amazing.

Their styling online could be better, and requires a little imagination but trust me – I just love these leggings. They add a little pizazz to a simple outfit and are great for day or night. The absolute best thing about them is the waistband. Instead of being a narrow piece of elastic, like most leggings, that can pinch in your waist and create a fabulous muffin top – these have a wider band around the waist that is smoothing and contours to your shape. It reminds me a bit of the belly bands I wore when I was pregnant. It’s not a high band – just very smooth and removes any risk of muffin top – so much so I wore mine here with a very tight long tank dress without any fear of lumps or bumps. These leggings are great value for money, wash well and are super comfortable and flattering – what more could a girl want?
