Mama Gets a Day Off

Well I wasn't alone, but a few hours out on a Saturday with The Stylist is such a treat.
No kidding, she's awesome company.

 The gal practised her photography skills again today.
I just gave her the camera and told her to go for it.


 But I had to snap one off of the wee cutie in one of her headbands during our "scoffee" break.


 Can you see how freaking awesome this 1960s lurex top is from the deliciously fab Helga?
She sent it to me in a parcel a wee while ago, with the promise that it would likely fall apart within a couple of wears.
Uh-uh, this would be about the sixth time I've worn it and I freaking LOVE it!!!
Thank you gorgeous!!
I'm wearing the top with Black Milk velvet bell bottoms, which happen to be so soft I had to check I was wearing pants.
Bring on No Pants Saturday!!


 Yes, this is my bitch-face "don't keep me from my cake any longer" look.

It doesn't look much, but this fruit slice is my bit of heaven with coffee.


Mama has a gob-full, attempting not to shove the whole thing in at once in public.


 Somehow I resemble the fish at the pet shop.



 The Stylist took pics of buttons and fabrics galore - she loves the colours and textures.


Our bags and one disgraceful, old bag.


I hope you're celebrating just for the hell of it this weekend!
Baci, Desiree

    That lurex top is divine I didn't notice the pattern until your close up. Those velvet bell bottoms look really comfy.

    The stylist is gorgeous - and how much like you?! She is also an excellent photographer, I could do with her skills. If she ever wants to freelance, send her my way. My small boys are less than satisfactory snappers so far. Looks like a good girly outing, I am overdue a mama and Boy1 day - I owe him cake.

    Now YOU are no old bag - disgraceful, maybe, but that's a good thing, right?!
    The lurex blouse from Helga is gorgeous, just like you and the scrumptious Stylist, whose photos are fantastic - love the button shot.
    Hope you girls enjoyed your scoffee.
    Looking forward to No Pants Saturday!!! xxxxxx

    I will bet you and the stylist were the best dressed at your little sweet treats place you visit.
    I love the both of your outfits.
    Your girl is gonna have tons of great memories of the stuff you did together when she gets older.
    When I was her age my Mom used to pick me up after school and her and I would sneak out to the thrift stores while Dad and Brother were at home. =D

    Your bitch face makes me giggle and they go oh no better not mess with her. I love these velvet bells on you and that gold, no one does metallic like you but Helga is close :) The stylist is adorable as usual and she is well on her way to being a professional behind the lens.

    The stylist is hugely stylish. What adorable headbands, and I love your lurex top, fabulousness! I am also totally appropriating the portmanteau word 'scoffee' over here btw.

    You know you are amazing right? Just sayin'. 'Cause you totally are. And your "fish face" is frigging adorable. I wish we weren't at opposite ends of the globe, you are such a groovy lady, I wish I could meet you in person.

    Those velvet pants are also ah-mazing. They make me kinda want to wear pants again. And they look GREAT on you. Especially paired with that gold top and the shoes and ahhh... stellar outfit.

    I am actually enjoying this megadose of you and The Stylist - perhaps I'll save up your posts for a weekly humungous delicious serve every week!

    You both look amazing - I love the stripes and spots (always!) and your lurex blouse is EXQUISITE! And I'm off to find me a pair of those velvet flares!
