Matilda the Musical and some new-in pieces ....

Hi Lovelies,


We had a fantastic evening at Matilda the Musical last night. If you get the chance, you have to try and see it, it really is fantastic - and laugh out loud funny, everybody in it was absolutely brilliant.

We spend the afternoon in town - it was a lovely day so we took lots of coffee and frozen yoghurt stops and had time to look around the shops and have a pre theatre dinner. Nothing to not like about that!

Thursday - lots of sunshine, and dinner with friends - perfection :)

Hi Lovelies,

Well Summer arrived in West London today and it was Fabulous!!!

Andy is doing well at the tennis, and Pippa Middleton was also at Wimbledon today - dressing far too literally like her Mum. Do we think she is too conservative for her age, or dressed appropriately? or is she damned either way?

A royal who got it very right for me this week was Princess Beatrice. She was snapped last night in a gorgeous dress by Roksanda Ilincic (she of the sell-out Pink Lantern Sleeve Dress). I think she looks beautiful.

We are out with our neighbours for dinner tonight, so I am dressed for a hot evening

So Jools Wore

Prada Candy Perfume, Red Dragon Nars Lip Crayon and my Chanel J12




Nails are candy pink (well it is Summer)

and green dress from Topshop which I have clashed with New Look Wedges

Hope you have a fabulous evening

Thanks for reading x

Wine Wednesday, and the Zara Sale starts in the morning .....

Hi Lovelies,

Just a tiny blog tonight, as I have had my friend over and I may have made her a little bit drunkedy drunk (sorry Julie!!!) We had such a fun night though, it is so great to catch up, and it feels almost decadent on a school night!

I just wanted to remind you all that the Zara sale starts tomorrow morning. It is just about the last high street sale, so it should hopefully be a good one.

Let me know if you grab anything. I always like to try on everything in Zara, so it is the one time that I don't favour the online sale - I may have to find time to shop!

The New Look pieces should also be here tomorrow, so expect a nice fashion blog on Thursday

Have a lovely sleep and I will catch up with you all tomorrow x

Some Sale Steals, some Sales picks and gratuitous lingerie pics ......

Hi Lovelies,

Wimbledon is underway, and we have had some sunshine for the second day running ...... This surely cannot last!

I managed to catch the 1950s style fashion section on This Morning - there were some beautiful creations and it is well worth a look.

The link to see it is right here 50's Fashion

It got me regretting not keeping the Kelly Brook pieces from New Look - It was all Elli's fault as she told me I looked like I worked for Virgin in them - perhaps I shouldn't have shown her them all tried on together!!

Well, how opportune. The Kelly Brook pieces for New Look were put into the Sale today!!!

Well, it would have been rude not to take advantage of some frankly insane prices, and I wanted to tell you all about them too as they still have lots available :)

I purchased this to wear underneath the blouse

I had wanted this gorgeous off the shoulder Bardot Dress since it was released

but I had an inkling it might go on sale

Memories of where Jools Jacket Obsession began .....

Hi Lovelies,


I can pinpoint the moment my Jacket obsession started.


It was 1985 and Desperately Seeking Susan had just been released.

To say I was obsessed with Madonna would be an understatement. She was EVERYTHING I wanted to be at the time, and everybody else I knew thought so too!

A boyfriend threw my cassette tape out of the window of a moving car as he just couldn't bear to listen to her songs one more time!

I bought the black rubber bands, the studded belts that you could strap around your waist at least twice, the coloured net ribbons to go in my hair and the lace mid length leggings (footless tights worked well too!) with the cropped tube skirt over them - folded over at the top of course. and the lace gloves !

But what I wanted, almost as much as a Pony back then was THE jacket!!

I used to dream about THE jacket all the time! It wasn't actually leather, it was like a glittery lame jacket  that was embellished at the back with the Pyramid and had the printed lapel at the front. My life surely would be perfect if only I could have a jacket and studded boots like Madonna!!

My sister and I used to trawl the markets. We both got a biker jacket and thought we were the luckiest girls EVER!!! Mine was black and hers was brown - It wasn't 'quite" Madonna but it was a big deal in the late 80's!!

Before that, I had never given so much as a thought to jackets. We had our school blazers of course, and a big raincoat to wear over them, but after this movie - Jackets seemed really chic and grown up and most importantly of all - they seemed soooo cool!

Well since then, a leather jacket has ALWAYS featured in my wardrobe. I don't care that I am 40 now (yesk ok, and a tiny bit!), I just know that they feel 'right" for me. I love them with jeans and converse, I love them with day dresses, and I REALLY love them for wearing over an evening dress because it is unexpected. I put on my jacket and I feel neither under dressed or over dressed, and the more you wear them, the better they seem to get - they are one of the few things in your wardrobe that you do not need to baby or be precious with.

Last year, I found a really good one. It was designed by Sunday Girl, and it was a little different because it had gold hardware as opposed to the usual silver, and it also had little fluttery leather shoulders - it is a dream of a jacket and I wear it far too often! You will have seen it in my blog quite a few times!

Well last week, Elli found one in Zara and my heart started to pound - this is why I love fashion so very much - It took me right back to 1985 when everything was possible - and I knew I had to have it.

I am a sadist to myself sometimes. If I really want something, I don't want to buy it there and then! I want that pain of waiting for it, just for a tiny amount of time - as how can I love it forever if it comes easily? ............. Don't panic readers, I never allow myself to wallow for long, but I want to always appreciate the things that I am lucky enough to own.

So yesterday, after my mega walk in Windsor, I had a little peek in their Zara to see if they also had it.

oh Yes they did!!!

Zara Leather and Gold Studded Jacket £170

I introduced it to my other one, they are getting along fine. The Zara leather

is much thinner, so it is perfect to wear now!

 Today the sun came out, so as you can see from the jacket piccies above Jools Wore a floral Sundress from Asos. It is the first time it has come out, and its really easy to wear. Zipped at the back with a nude top panel.

I wore it with some New Look Wedges

PC told me that the he liked it but that the pattern reminded him of a 70's Camper Van (hmmm thanks Babe!)

'Oh , you don't know what you are taking about' I told him, except that I then googled VW Camper Van Curtains, and these came up!

OK, he may have a point ...... Oh well, I still love it

oh and the ASOS sale has started today!!

Because today is very much baring my soul and showing you jacket's day, the Topshop Blazer arrived too!

 Topshop Crepe Longline Blazer £65
