This last week has been fun-filled and very busy! Isobel turned 10 last Wednesday and we had a little afternoon tea party after school. Then on Sunday she had a Quasar party with friends which they all loved. This week will be a quiter one before a busy week at work…and then a trip to France 🙂
As it was Isobel’s special day when I took these outfit photos I thought it fitting that she should join me – complete with birthday present roller blades! She also wanted to show off her fabulous new holographic bag and necklace that were gifts from her friends. (I’ve been warned not to “borrow” them!)
My outfit consists mainly of old pieces, except for the top which is new. I bought it at Marks and Spencer in the sale last week, reduced to just £13. It’s also available in a striped version which I’m tempted to go back and get too! It’s so light and airy, making it ideal for holidays. It would look lovely with a white maxi skirt and a floppy sunhat. On this occasion I paired the gold twist top and black culottes together to create a more dressy look.
My little fashionista had a hand in this outfit; I’d already picked out some gold sunglasses but she wasn’t convinced they were the right ones for this look. So she went through my entire collection and chose these Anna Dello Russo for H&M embellished shades. She then picked the fabric bird print bag too. I have to admit that she’s often right and I frequently ask for her opinion.

Nice top Emma – the sunglasses look fab with it, very glam! Isobel takes after mamma, lovely hologram bag!
Thanks Gail! When my husband saw the bag he said “oh I think Mummy will be borrowing that!” The look on Isobel’s face said otherwise!
Happy Birthday, Isobel! You did a great job accessorizing your mom–love your new birthday gifts!
Thanks so much Kimberly!

Thanks so much Ruth!
Emma, your daughter is such a cutie! I remember my son’s birthday parties at 10–we used to have to say after all the events he had planned that his birthday was officially over!! Lol! You are so good at accessories and yours are perfect with that classic neutral outfit.

Thanks Darlene! We’ve still got the balloons and cards up – she’s going to milk it for as long as possible!
That bag isn’t good for Isobel. It would be in my closet by now! It’s fabulous! Happy birthday to your beautiful daughter! Can’t link up with the phone, will do on the lap top tomorrow.
Thanks Nancy! I agree – it’s far too grown up for her 😉
Your little fashionista got it completely right. Isobel looks so grown up Emma, hope she had a happy birthday. Jacqui Mummabstylish
Thanks Jacqui! She’s growing up so quickly – I just want to slow it down…only one more year of primary school!
Happy Birthday to your daughter! She is so sweet! I love your gorgeous sparkly gold outfit!
Aww, happy birthday, Isobel! She is definitely a fashionista in her own right!
