The Women #11: My Mum

My parents ran their own farm when I was little, and they never had much money or time for socialising... But now they have retired, there's no stopping them!

My mum is always immaculately turned out - of the generation where perfect hair and matching accessories are everything, and she would rather spend money on one decent outfit from Jaegar than a dozen cheap things.

Here's to my lovely mum - a wonderful gran, an OAP style icon and a fab inspiration to me xxx

Like: Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck. They look like they want to be together, casual outfits - ideal for the occasion.

Love: Idina Menzel and Taye Riggs. I've NO idea who these two are, but how cute are they??? So sweet, I wouldn't change a thing...

Loathe: Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel.

Justin, Justin. Dog Walking is no excuse for letting your style slip so much. Making Jessica walk behind you (are the rumours true??) And wearing those shorts? Good Grief.

You are Justin TIMBERlake. If you are going to wear scruffy sports wear (eek!), at least make it old styleeee!!

Call me sweetie! I can help!!

Such a sexy pair of shoes, I thought to style them for a prim and proper "Miss Jones" look for the office...

Stunning, love the scarf with this!
Inspired!
You are looking quite fine today, Miss Jones - perfectly turned out, and that scent...well, it reminds me of something wonderful. Something from my younger days...something classic and elegant, but I can't put my finger on it. Oh, Miss Jones, would you mind stepping into my office, I'd like to get a better look at those lovely shoes.

Lots of different things make me happy.

My hubby bringing me coffee in bed before he goes to work....

Meeting a deadline at work.

ShopStyle working properly again (I've missed you all!)

New perfume. And shoes.

UK weather (in all it's glory!)

The Autumn. Especially walking in the local woods with my boys at the weekends, wrapped up in woolies and boots, scrunching leaves under foot, drinking hot chocolate and remembering once again that we live in a lovely place. Fantastic...
