wise old owl

I think I’ve waxed lyrical enough about this Asda George jumper by now, I can’t explain why I love it so much; well, actually I can…my Nan was the biggest owl lover ever, and since her passing we have started to notice owls everywhere…most of them just make me feel a bit sad, but this one didn’t, she would have loved it and at Β£10 she’d have approved of it’s bargain nature. My next (and final apart from finishing my foot) tattoo will be an owl on my ribs, subject to putting some weight on first; gonna need some padding for that one I think! Many of my family members have had memorial owls done and I can’t wait to join them.
Worn with New Look cords and battered ballet pumps. Bonus shot of how my tattoo looks now the swelling and bruising has gone down.

Today I’m off work and venturing in to Cabot Circus to meet up with some fellow bloggers for the opening of a new Boux Avenue store. I had immense jealous when actual shops, rather than the website started opening all over the country so when I heard a Bristol one was opening, and was then invited to come along for it’s opening I jumped at the chance. I’m all for decent undies and I love that Boux caters for all shapes and sizes and carries a good range in an A cup, why do so many shops start at a B?!

Where do you get your undies from?
Got anything exciting or random to tell me?

  1. Ooh I’ll have to check that place out I struggle to find small bras too. The only starting at a B cup in most places infuriates me, what also annoys me is most places start at 32 back and I’m 30, to get decent fitting bras I have to search online and pay a fortune, also a risk as can’t try on. Like clothing sizing bra sizing varies widely by brand. I find that French based companies always seem to make bras that fit me well, maybe I have French boobies? Lol

    Love the owl top and the jeans, have a great day. Xx

  2. Fab top! Love a good owl print/motif… my owl-related goodies include earrings and a massive pendant (not to be worn together!) but this is now making me think that perhaps I need to add some clothing!

  3. I love that jumper, and I think that a memorial owl tattoo is such a sweet idea

  4. Love it, and I’m probably really late in saying this but I love your new haircut xoxo

  5. I need that jumper, its lovely! Also I love the owl tattoo idea, thats so lovely.

  6. I love your hair! It’s gorgeous.
    And the owl jumper is so cute, and a very sweet nod to your nan. Love the sound of the tattoo.
    Enjoy Boux, jealous I can’t see you lovely bloggers.

  7. I love the owl jumper, and your foot tattoo x

  8. Cute jumper – I have yet to splurge in the george asad world, you are tempting me greatly. You look lovely, comfy & warm! Always good given that it feels like autumn now πŸ™

    Your tattoo is lovely, I can’t wait to get mine altered . . . october 12th cannot come soon enough! I love the idea of you getting an owl for your Nan, plus she’ll love that to get it you have to get a bit healthier.

    I’m REALLY picky with undies, they have to be pretty & when it comes to bras or similar, lately it’s been bralettes (free people do nice ones) because I don’t have boobs, nor do I want to pretend I do with oodles of padding, so they have been the things that fit my mind set best at the moment.

    Have a lovely day xxx

  9. Ahhhhh I love that jumper! Looks so good with the colour of those trousers as well.

    I love M&S for underwear. It’s not all old lady stuff – their Limited Collection range is so beautiful. I think they do it in your size – worth a try!

  10. I love this! And what a bargain! I might have to be abit of a copycat and go and get it! haha

    xoxo

  11. That jumper is fantastic! Nice find:)

    And those pants are really nice as well.

    And owl tattoo? Sounds great! I agree though, that would be wise. Sounds very painful otherwise:(
