Birthday Treat to The Pig - #Chicandstylish #LINKUP

Hi there my friends.

Hope you're doing well.

I'm off to Sicily tomorrow and I can't wait.  David and I have had a few holidays this year, but it will be nice to get away and be just the two of us!  David has always wanted to visit this little island off of Italy's boot, he's a big fan of the film The Godfather and has watched it more times than I can remember!  You can follow along my Instagram stories to see what I get up to my friends.  

Anyway let me tell you a bit about my day yesterday.  I was lucky enough to go to lunch with my sister.  We went for my birthday treat and had a wonderful few hours dining at The Pig in Bridge.

It holds special memories for us both as years ago it used to be a Country Club with a nightclub within it.  I've had many an enjoyable evening dancing and drinking the night away so we had lots of stories to chat about.  The venue is now a very interesting old building with plenty of hidden dining areas, secret stairways, comfortable sitting locations, a lively terrace overlooking the vegetable patch and of course, some deliciously tasty food.  

What to wear on a hot sunny day?  Well this is what I picked.  I've had this hanging in my wardrobe for a few years, having only worn it once to my grandson's christening.  I have to admit to it being a tad 'snug' and probably not the wisest choice for eating in, but I managed to squeeze into it and get it done up and eat my lunch, so it all turned out okay in the end!

It's a faux wrap style that has a side zip and tie belt, but what I love about it is the contrasting material - bigger florals on the main part of the dress and a smaller version for the frill and belt.  It really is a pretty dress and made me feel extra feminine and very glamorous.

I'll nearly always go for heels and these have to be my favourite of the season.  They look like an expensive leather but are actually vegan leather which is very soft and which seem to be really popular now-a-days.  I've bought a pair of black slingbacks for Autumn too, and they're VL too.  Nice to try an embrace the current trends I think.

Here's me and my sister outside the venue, you can see how hot it was there and it was lovely to find some shade before heading to our air conditioned car.

Here's me looking all chic in my new sunnies and lippy. 😘
