A city of Emerald ............ and only 30 seconds to Mars !!!!




Hello Lovelies,

Half way through Half Term, and Bank Holiday Monday was full on!

The girls were happily riding the Roller Coasters at Thorpe Park when Elli got a tweet to say that Jared Leto (his band are 30 seconds to Mars) were going to do a meet and greet an hour from then in London.

Well, they ran from the theme park, caught a bus to the train station and jumped on a train to London - oh to have the enthusiasm of youth! But this was such a big deal for her - she has obsessed about them for 5 years (she has golden tickets to meet them in a couple of weeks at a festival - how typical,  you wait 5 years and two opportunities present themselves at once!)

Well - in what she dubbed the best day of her entire life, they did as promised and met with their fans on a stunning sunny day in Soho Square - and we drove up to meet them and see it all unfold!

They were beautiful - so friendly and patient and generous and made sure everybody got a little bit of time with them, and of course lots of piccies!

Jared Leto - even prettier in real life!!!

Jared's brother Shannon Leto

and with Ell's

and without any exaggeration - literally the moment she has waited so long for!

Sunny Sunday and Happy Memories ........




Hi Lovelies,

A happy, warm and sunny day Chez Jools. 

I adore Bank Holiday weekends - Sunday always feels like a Saturday as we have an extra day off to enjoy.

We spent much of the day in the garden with family - the first day it has really been warm enough to do that. It was fun.

Last night we went for a late dinner and a couple of lovely Raspberry Caipirinha's. Jools Wore the new Cornflower Blue Topshop Dress that I blogged about recently.





and this little cutie is also perfect for the nicer weather
It is a playsuit but looks and hangs just like a Tea Dress



I love the longer sleeves too as it makes it perfect to wear into the evening

Tea Dress Floral Print Playsuit £38 - ASOS


One of the things that I love most about fashion is the memories they can evoke
I saw this little necklace today


Dog on Wheels Necklace - £25 Tatty Devine

It took me straight back to being a little one and playing with my favourite toy ever
The Fisher Price Wooden Dog !!!


It made me smile so much
I used to pull that dog around on its red string so much - it snapped so many times that
there were more knots than string in the end!


Please tell me I am not the only one who remembers these wooden toys!!!



Happy Days!


Thanks for reading xx
