Happy Birthday x3

Today is my triplet aunts 50th Birthday

We are celebrating this evening at a local Chinese restaurant and then Saturday is a big family party which should be great fun (if a lot of work for us all!)

Not So Manic Monday

I took the liberty of booking today off work fearing one of my ongoing hangovers from Saturday's Polo day. The lack of hangover meant I had the beauty of a day at home to do as I pleased

After stripping my bed, cleaning my kitchen and doing laundry I headed to the shops and treated myself to a dress and shoes for a night out with work on Thursday

I also popped to the library and picked up a DVD and book which I will spend the evening with alongside the much talked about Vintage Issue from Home & Antiques

What are your plans this evening?

Dukes of Essex Polo 2011

The rollers were removed and off to the Polo I went

I was apprehensive about what to expect and whether it was my thing but I had a lovely time!

It was quite strange to be mingling with various "celebrities" and I was overjoyed when Peter Andre walked past me!

Two of my friends won the silent auction lot of a box at the Cheltenham Races....

Yes they bid £6500!!!! Madness

There was a plenty of entertainment on the pitch

before Peter Andre started the match

I was clearing enjoying the polo match!

It was all too much for some people

I had a great day and it was a shame when the rain started and it became more reminiscent of Glastonbury!

My feet were hurting by about 8pm and the muddy field was not helping so I decided to end my night there and was home in bed by 9pm and pleased to report there is no hangover today!!

I'm already talking about attending next year and dragging more friends and family along

Roller Girl!

Here I am sitting in the hairdressers bright & early getting ready for the Polo today!

Dukes of Essex Polo - What I'm wearing

Here is the dress I shall be wearing tomorrow for the Duke of Essex Polo event I am attending. I purchased it from Warehouse unfortunately prior to it going on sale... hopefully this means it hasn't sold very well and I won't spot someone else wearing it!

Today I'm having a day off work to potter and chill out in advance of the big event! As soon as I recover I will of course share pictures from the weekend!

Happy Anniversary!

A year ago today we were blessed with sunshine as Kelly married James and became Mrs Allan!

Wishing you both many more happy years together

Polo Bling!

Many of you were interested to hear what I'll be wearing to this weekends' Polo event so I thought I'd keep you in suspense a little longer and share my accessories today!

I need a bag large enough to carry camera, make up etc as it'll be a long day and this oversized envelope clutch from ASOS is perfect

My dress is long so you won't really see my classic nude peep toes which I'm somewhat anxious about wearing as they're not particularly comfortable!!! 

Earrings from Oasis (already in the sale grrrrr) and 2 cuffs by River Island

A friend approved the full ensemble last night and it's been given the thumbs up! 

I'm getting quite excited!!

BUSY! BUSY!

I seem to have gone on the missing list the past few days but fear not I'm still here!

Wednesday it was supper club once again with different attendee's, namely my 2 aunts and mum

We're in the midst of planning my aunts 50th birthday party at the end of the month so there's lot's to arrange

I made Nigella's cheesy chilli which unfortunately I didn't enjoy and won't rush to cook again... usually a fan of chorizo I didn't like it in the chilli although my aunts liked it that way! We all agreed that whilst it tasted nice it didn't taste like a traditional chilli! If you're interested you can find the recipe here

Thursday there was a large company meeting which led to drinks, a late night and a hangover Friday which dragged on until well to be honest I'm only just starting to feel normal today!!

Today was spent celebrating my SIL's dad's 60th with the Ralph Lauren kids!

The week ahead is preparation for this event I'm attending Saturday! 

Now it's time for some blog catch up!
