Celebrating flowers in appreciation of Chelsea Flower Show.

Good morning lovely bloggers.

Celebrating the beauty of flowers today in appreciation of the Chelsea Flower Show.
This has to be near the top of my bucket list, I've always wanted to visit this annual event ever since my mum went years ago.  Watching it on TV every year my desire gets stronger and stronger, seeing the breath-taking gardens, the stunning flowers with... erm  lets say unusual, unpronounceable names. Majestic designs with stunning displays of trees & water gardens  injected with huge sprays of vivacious blooms in eye popping colours, and I bet they smell amazing too!  I'd love any of them in my little garden of Eden!  Hubby has said he'll take me next year as we've got too much on now, roll on 2018!

With flowers in mind, and you all know I'm a big fan of florals, here's my tribute to the Chelsea Flower Show.

Wearing this white floral dress I picked up in Matalan when I was returning another item.
I took photos in a local park and hope I do justice to the CFS

This sleeves dress with a botanical theme is elegant, sleek and polished.  I felt completely confident in this dress, maybe because it was holding me in all the right places, which in turn makes you stand upright, leaving me refined and classy. 
I also love the fact that instead of a split up the back of the pencil skirt there's one up either side, something I've not seen very often but I quite like. The neckline is just right for a choker necklace and the colour is perfectly placed to pick out some of the flowers on the dress. See where else I wore It. 
With a little ruching on the waist that constructs a flattering finish across my unwanted tummy!
I've paired up these sandals, my peep toe favourites - yes they're winning my vote for now I keep wearing them!  Along with this darling bag, borrowed from my daughter, and probably from Primark.

A green Pashmina finished my look, giving quite a dressy feel, however a little cardigan or jacket would look super too.  Any number of colours would be suitable including, pink, blue or yellow.

So Saturday is in full sight now, we've got a fabulous long weekend to celebrate what are you all going to do?
Me? ... Oh I'm going for not one but two breaks away!  *Smug face appears*
Yes, firstly off with my hubby, mum, sister and her hubby to visit my uncle.  This is the third visit in as many years we've had a little weekend break in Cornwall, you can see last years visit here.  We actually stay in a beautiful Hotel/B&B in Liskeard, however my uncle lives just outside Lostwithiel.  Very remote, but with the stunning scenery it somewhat makes up for it.


I'll be incorporating my one piece rule I heard about last year,  you see I try to take just dresses or jumpsuits when going away.  It's worked well so far, less hassle than thinking about separate pieces that I always take too many of  which, in turn aren't needed and take up too much space.
Ideally taking an extra dress 'just in case' the unforeseen happens!

If you'd like to slip back over in the next couple of weeks to view just what I took, along with finding out how the weekend went.  Lets pray for good weather as we've had all sorts on previous visits and I'm standing firm that I'd prefer warmer weather with maybe a hint huge amount of sunshine!!!

Getting home late on Monday,  then early Tuesday morning I'll be jetting off to L'Escala with four friends and my hubby - a mid-week escape for a bit of rest and relaxation, good food, company and possibly a little drink.  For hubby and me it's like going home, we've been visiting this part of Spain for many, many years and it just feels so good to go back there, although slightly different each time we do. 
It holds plenty of special memories of holidays with the children, weeks away with my in-laws and oh so funny cheeky breaks with our friends.  When you see the photos you may well love to visit  L'Escala just like I do.🎔

Bye for now see you on Holiday Monday, I'm hoping you all enjoy the weekend, I know I will, ha ha ha!
