Saturday - Not my regular shoe shopping !!!




Hello Lovelies!

How is your weekend going.

Everything is fab Chez Jools, well apart from every time I try and move my legs! Day 5 and I am suffering big time - It is all good though as I have found the perfect cure - lying on the sofa and letting everything come to me - it is blinking brilliant! That or move to a bungalow maybe .... hmmm stairs are a little bit of an issue for me just now!

Today we all went to Windsor, it was so cold, but really nice. A wedding was taking place and the bridesmaids and flower girls were walking down the hill next to the castle. This is not easy in heels and they all looked so pretty. I didn't take piccies of them though, they seemed vulnerable enough as it was!







I have learnt the hard way that cobbles and heels in Windsor (oh and Guildford) are not good partners!
So Jools Wore these today (cold feet alert!)


Pewter Jewelled Wedge Sandals £35 - Next 

I have bought a pair every S/S for the past 3 years as soon as they are released!


Speaking of Shoes, I finally caved and bought some "proper" running shoes (I am still not sure what was wrong with my studded converse really), but I must have got 30 different messages telling me to make sure I buy good running shoes!
Well this is not the fun kind of Shoe Shopping that I usually enjoy but apparently these were the best fit on me ........ hmmmm walking out with shoes and getting no buzz - this is something I do not like one little bit!




not my most exciting purchase ever huh!


So of course I need to redress the balance and show you something pretty, as the above purchase totally freaked me out more than you!


My lust-have Saturday item is this gorgeous little cutie - err HOW cute!!!



Miu Miu Rosette Bag £995


Shall we wear it with this!!






Oscar de la Renta Chantilly Lace Dress £4445!!! (pretty though, right!)



and I am gonna leave you with the important stuff!!





Thanks for reading x

Friday - Cocktails & Chanel - nothing to not like here!





Hi Lovelies,

Well Friday has not been too shabby at all. It started with a phone call from Chanel confirming my bag is finally on it's way back to London - so fingers crossed, after 7 months I may have it back soon! What amazing service teeheeeee!

I refuse to let it get to me though, it is the weekend after all and Jools is a happy bunny!

Oh and my new sunglasses came today. I sneak previewed them on Twitter earlier as the sun was shining, and trust me, that doesn't happen for long after I buy new sunglasses ........... check your guttering people, the rain it is a coming ..... !









Love the chain detailing on the arms






Today Jools Wore, Topshop pink top that (I blogged about it earlier this week) with my new Chanel Shades and some Diesel Jeans and Topshop suede wedge sandals.

I also went for my 4th run in four days. I have to be honest, I am not liking it one little bit, but I am persevering .......

Well after all that jogging (yeah right lol) combined with the fact that it is going to be the last sunny day for a while - we had to go out and have cocktails tonight to celebrate - obviously! (I also love blogging when I had had a couple of drinks, it makes chatting even easier than usual!)


Oh Hello Raspberry Caipirhina!




Sheer Black Top & Lace Kimono - Both this season Zara


Chanel Flap

Leopard Panel Jeans (especially for Clairey obviously!)


Pearl Shoes - House of Harlow


I am dedicating tonights blog to my brother - who has had the date from hell and has made me cry laughing - never trust an avatar or Facebook picture - they are always 5 years out of date, and thats being kind - love you honey !!!!!


Hope you all have had a fantastic Friday x

Thursday - Dresses and Playing by the River!






Hi Lovelies,

How are you doing.

Well I had lunch today which has been planned for a while and we lucked out big-time with the weather!

We had lunch al fresco, sitting next to the river, and it is still March - pretty amazing huh!






Totally Yummy Lunch (Thanks Jay!)


Well after lunch I went for another run (I know!!!!) - but I am on day 3 now and it is painful! I cannot actually walk up the stairs this evening without wincing! I apparently need to stretch more ......... heheeee. All these things to try and remember - A serious question! How long will it be before I get ANY better? - I am rubbish AND impatient which is not the best combination!

On to a subject of which I know so much more about! Shopping

And it seems the Marni for H&M Collaboration has been a disaster financially!

Two weeks after release and after a big sell out fanfare - ALL items are now half price!

I am sad as obviously I paid 70 pounds for the Sandals earlier this week and today they are £29.99 !!!

But I am all about the positives!!! On the plus side, the sold-out jacket that I wanted and had considered paying over £100 for on ebay I got from H&M for £29.99.

I would love to say I feel sorry for the greedy So & So's who bought up all the stuff to sell on eBay for a profit lol - they are well and truly stuck with it now - let us hope it will stop them from ruining it for everybody else on future collections! But the question of HOW a collection can be half price just 14 days after release is a serious one - just why has this happened?

This is the jacket that I got for a song!
(I blogged about it a couple of weeks ago on the release date)

Marni for H&M Jacket - Now £29.99 (was £69.99)


Today Jools Wore




Swoop Swallow Dress - French Connection £110

with KG Tan sandals 


I took my girls late-night shopping this evening, and I was naughty! Ihave bought a fabulous dress!! I cannot reveal it just yet as I want to wear it this weekend, hmm or maybe next weekend with my girlies - I love having a new dress to wear and not wanting to wait to take it out to play.


As it is turning out to be a Dress kind of day, my VOD is this one!




Roland Mouret Dress (Available at Browns) £1250


It is also available in Cream!!

and I would wear both of them with these!


Azzedine Alaia Platforms £665




It would be great to know if you have anything fabulous on your wish-lists.

Wednesday - It's March and 22 degrees!!!





Hi Lovelies,

Err, just how incredible is the weather we are having - it is just beautiful and makes me feel so happy.
I do feel for the woman I saw earlier today though - she wore a bright pink top and her skin was so sunburnt that it matched it completely! Wow, what a dufus! I bet she is sore tonight.

Speaking of sore, I ran again this evening. I am definitely feeling it on my legs now! 2 jogs in 2 days, oooh get me!

I have got to show you these piccies!








OMG!! This is Harry and he is a Pygmy Hippo who was abandoned at birth and is being cared for around the clock. I think I am in Love.

Apparently, they grow no larger than 3 feet and spend most of the time in water.......... PC,  you know the trampoline that we have taken down in the garden? - well we could pop a huge paddling pool there instead - you know where I am going with this right .............. ;)

While we are on the cutie trail, how about this for a clutch!

YSL Obsession Suede & Satin Sandals £855



Brian Atwood Blanko Fringed Sandals £1070



Christian Louboutin 'Banane' Platform Suede Pumps £495
