No Debutante - We're gonna party like it's your Birthday

It's my birthday today! Now I'm really, really nearly really old, it's official and I couldn't care less. The postman just delivered me a load of birthday cards and I was excited because I rarely receive anything in the post these days!! A letter for me? Yey!! I am not really one of those people who creates a Facebook event every year for their birthday, despite constantly posting photographs of myself on (many) social networking sites, I seem to feel a bit weird about throwing a party for myself. I am very happy with the cards from my kids, family and friends, facebook and text birthday messages and my friend Dawn shouting 'Happy Birthday' to me on the school run today. As much as I would like to spend the day at a spa, followed by drinks with all my friends and lots of good food then a trip to Japan, I shall just be contented with drinks and a lovely meal with my gorgeous husband Phil. 

Ok, so back to the personal style pics.....Let's have a look at what I have been wearing lately. We shall start with today's cute birthday outfit, followed by yesterdays tough'n' trashy school run outfit and a glimpse at half of  last Fridays outfit. We were rushing about so much, there wasn't any chance to stop and pose for photographs. These are then followed, I'm almost embarrassed to say, by more winning outfits from WIWT!! Who, am I kidding? I love it that I keep winning!! I never win anything usually!!

 

 The winning Editors choice WIWT photographs! Yey!!

Thank-you WIWT, I love you!!

Can you imagine the fuss if the wedding outfit hadn't won??

It's my birthday, let's crack open the champagne!!!!! 

Have a good day and thanks so much for following me!!!!

No Debutante - Vintage Queen

It was back to work for me today and I loved it that I could wear sleeveless tops and a skirt with no tights on my morning trek, the sun was shining and I, almost, didn't even mind the walk! 

After work I popped into Topshop to see if there were any shoes that caught my eye, I wasn't expecting much since I had had no luck in Topshop on finding a dress for Dawn's wedding, I found some shoes almost instantly and although I still have no idea whether they will actually go with the dress, I had to have them!! I was wearing my frilly ankle socks and they looked real cute with the new shoes, so this could be another addition to the outfit!! I am, however, a bit worried about the length of my dress as it's pretty short, which is fine with tights but on a hot day and possibly no tights, I shall have to remember to be a bit more ladylike when picking little Sylvie up and generally bending over! I am still such a tomboy and forget these things!!

Here are the outfits from this Tuesday and Wednesday. Sylvie Belle would not let me put her down in yesterdays photos (first outfit) and I have to tell you about the denim pinafore I am wearing today (second outfit). It was another of our attic finds (clothes Phil and I had hoarded over the years) I bought this dress from a festival when I was 18 years old back in the 1990s, I love hoarding clothes!! I put a big victory roll in my hair today and got lots of compliments on it and three colleagues who want me to put one in their hair. I, of course, said 'yes' I love styling peoples hair up for them, see, I'm not all tomboy y'know!  Watch out for more exciting news at the end of the post!! 

So, I got another email from WIWT and I have won another Editors Choice Award!! Yippee!! See the winning outfit below and follow me on WIWT and sign yourself up too. http://wiwt.com/user/NoDebutante/ Thank you WIWT!!!

 

Ok, I'm off to celebrate with a cup of tea and maybe I can try on those lovely new Topshop shoes with my lovely new Zara dress........You will see the outfit soon enough the wedding is in 3 days!! Sorry to panic you there Dawn if you are reading, but IT IS!! Exciting!!!!

Thanks for following and generally hanging out in No Debutante World every now and again, I'm glad you can join me xx

No Debutante - Get Lucky

Here's today's personal style post featuring two more outfits from the past week worn whilst I was in Bournemouth. The first outfit features a bit of double denim and the photo was taken in the coolest Retro kitchen display in Poole Museum and I wanted most of it's contents for my new kitchen!! It was pouring with rain outside so the museum seemed the best choice of activities and we had already visited Bournemouth pier and seafront the day before in the glorious sunshine. The lighting was a bit poor in the museum so we only managed to get one un-blurred usable photograph of the double denim outfit!

The second outfit was worn on the day we were coming home but detoured through Moors Valley Country Park and ended up staying there for hours, I was not really dressed for the occasion and ended up piling on the layers and changing my shoes as a pretty dress and studded pumps didn't really suit a walk in the muddy woods! The kids loved it there and it was great to spend all day outside. If I get time I will try and do a lifestyle post on our time in Bournemouth as we have lots of great images of the kids climbing trees and having fun on fair rides whilst I carried the coats....When did I become that person??

After the personal style images I will let you know about the cool news that I received from the WIWT site.

So, after joining less than a week ago, on Tuesday I received an email from WIWT.
