Colours are a bit off in the first photo because of the sun I think, sorry! Just a nice light outfit for a very hot day today. Spend a little bit of time walking in the city so wanted to be as comfortable and cool as possible. Picked my rouille work to add a bit of colour.

Picked up a couple of summer sandals at the Wittner outlet - got 2 pairs for less than the original price of 1 pair! Looking forward to wearing them on the blog. Also got this beautiful dress at French Connection as they have an extra 20% off sale items. It was a very productive shopping trip. You can see a list of a few more sales in my round-up post here :) Have you bought anything in the sales yet?


The sunnies were last worn here, dress here, shoes here and bag here.

One of the things DH got me for Christmas was a "IOU" for a new computer chair, so today we went out to Ikea to get one. My old one broke so I've been needing a new one for a while. Have to say, this one is much more comfortable to sit on than my old one - even before it broke!

Of course while we were in Ikea we managed to buy lots more as well as the chair. It happens every time we go there, we walk in and see something pretty and/or practical and have to get it as well! haha! Hope we aren't the only ones that do that.


Ikea is one of the many places that have a sale on at the moment, so thought I'd do a quick roundup for you of some of the boxing day sales I'm aware of, in case you haven't stumbled across them already. :)
