Blessed Be the Bold

Meekness is for meeces.
Not for me.
The kids are on school holidays and it's playtime for mama.
This is how she plays quietly.



I'm boldly wearing a 1960s hat from Etsy; 1930s silk PJ top from eBay; gorgeous faux fur bow tie made by the ever-lusious Helga von Trollop; pendant from the delish Vintage Vixen; Cathedral leggings from Black Milk; VW Melissa's from Amazon; leopard bag from Dandelion Vintage.






Thank you to The Stylist for being mama's photographer. xo





Oh, here's some more evidence of domestic sluttery - storage boxes galore - I have no idea what's in them anymore.
Go boldly where no woman has gone before.
Bless you my brazen minxes.
Desiree xoxo

    Looks like a fun day! I am getting ready to move after 12 years and still have unopened boxes from the last move that I have no idea what is in them. -T

    Ah Desiree, you are the brazenest minx of all (don't think brazenest is a word, but you get my drift) and you look beautiful!
    Glad you are enjoying your playtime. Well done to the Stylist for doing such a great job as photographer, my kids are bloody rubbish!
    Your hat is stunning, and you ALWAYS give good legging!
    AND you can walk in flatforms, which makes you a genius in my book! xxxx

    If I could have a kid that look pictures as well as The Styklist I might still be tempted to breed.
    What brilliant shots, you most brazen minx of the lot. Those leggings are total perfection with the vintage cami and piles of bling. You rock. xxx

    That is the most amazing hate I have ever seen, LOVE it. I don't often truly yearn for what other have, but from now on I'll be looking out for a hat just like it. FAB xx

    Oh!! I've been lusting over those Blackmilk leggins on their webshop for a while... they are so fabulous! Maybe, someday (if I have the money) I'll buy them too :).

    No one looks quite as good as you in leggin's I am a bit jealous I swear. What a lovely day spent doing a bit of nothing, my favorite. As always I love your smile and your style and you just have the best photographer ever!!!!

    You lovely woman! Those leggings are quite bizarre.. I've never seen anything quite like them!

    I love the necklace from Vix, it looks stunning against that soft golf top.

    I adore the black and white postcard and if I were there I would be trying to figure out a way to remove those adds from the table without anybody realising haha! xxx

    I wish my children could take photos which didn't focus on the inside of my nose, or give me a double chin. Sigh. You look amazing.

    There is an award for you over at mine x

    Brazen Minx! I want to be one--can I play? I had to laugh; I remember when my mother would say, play quietly...did she have this in mind??
