The Khaki Boiler Suit

In the words of Nelly I feel like a millionaire and not in a monetary sense but because I'm feeling pretty happy with my lot, life is good right now and I'm not just saying this because I've had my hair and nails done although that does make a girl feel all kinds of fancy. Our home is almost there after over three years of renovations and Sadie is growing into the most good natured, beautiful little toddler that it makes my heart swell with pride every time I lay my eyes on her so I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate the fact I'm proud as punch then to shout it from the rooftops aka the top of a wall, or just sit on it for blog photos. This weekend is already shaping up to be a goodie as Craig is off for both days! Weekends off are a serious rarity in the Wild household so when they happen we try to seize the day and do something fun. Todays plans are TBC but they may involve a trip to Chatsworth, make sure you're following me on Insta to see what we get up to.

Yesterday was a family filled day as we celebrated my nieces first birthday and nothing says happy birthday like a khaki boiler suit, am I right? Ever since my incredibly stylish friend Claire sported an all in one I've been searching the high street with a fine tooth comb for my own, I even included one in my Autumnal capsule wardrobe post. One afternoon I dashed into my local Warehouse to exchange an item (sans Sadie before going home to paint a wall, all of the glamour) when I spotted this almost pyjama style, meets mechanics overalls all in one and the rest is history. For me this is the perfect addition to my capsule closet as it lends itself to dressy occasions as well as the everyday, my kinda garment plus it allows me to reenact the Girls Aloud Long Hot Summer music video until my hearts content. Keeping things casual I paired my first (and hopefully not last) boiler suit with a pair of trainers and my take-everywhere Blossom bag before throwing on my navy leather jacket at the last minute to ward off the chill. Yes it's officially jacket weather and I couldn't be more excited to get wrapped up. In fact I think coats and jackets might just be my thing as the number I have in my wardrobe is frankly shameful, keep your eyes peeled for more of my coat collection coming your way real soon.

I hope you're all having the happiest of Sundays and have danced to Nellys song at least once this weekend because having fun and doing a crazy little dance now and again is what life is all about.

Have you ever rocked an all in one?

It feels like an age since I went on tour so I'm beyond thrilled to tell you I'm bringing you this post from my beyond comfortable bed in the seriously luxe Rudding Park in Harrogate. I'm feeling like a new woman after the most amazing Aromatherapy Associates facial and back massage which is just what I needed, the calm before the storm if you will as tomorrow is my penultimate wedding dress fitting and Friday, well Friday is the beginning of my hen weekend which means it'll be 15 days until I get married. 15 days until I become a Mrs instead of a Miss, I mean where has the time disappeared to? This past week has passed by in a blur of wedding preparations (oh the admin), personal training sessions (it's tough but feels so good afterwards) and Easter egg avoidance as I'm trying my very best to be good on the wedding countdown - so far so good although there is a cookie iced with Sadies name in our hotel room that's staring at me, maybe this will break me? Should I start a pray for Hannah hashtag?

These snaps were taken on Easter Monday where we found ourselves picking up our wedding bands and enjoying a family stroll with hot chocolates in hand, for the record I didn't have my usual addition of marshmallows. Healthy right? I picked up this blue leather jacket in the Selfridges sale when I went to choose my wedding shoes in London back in January (I know, I know how many times have I said wedding). While I wasn't in the market for a leather jacket at that very moment I couldn't resist this buttery soft baby with it's detachable faux fur collar - throw in a final reduction price and oodles of French girl chic and I just had to make this wardrobe staple mine. If my jacket wasn't in the picture my favourite wardrobe addition would have to be my pink a-line skirt, not only is the perfect shape for skimming my child bearing hips but it's also the colour of the moment. Shades of pink, rose and blush are all over the high street right now and I for one am in heaven - I'm not even a super girly girl but rosy tones are definitely something I can get on board with. Completing the look I added a reverse Breton striped tee from Topshop which is that perfect length for pairing with slightly higher waisted garms, my go to ankle boots which I'm keen to replace pronto as they're looking a little tired and one of the best bags I ever purchased from Whistles.

Now I'm off to grab an early and healthy dinner with a crawling (yes she's crawling) Sadie Florence and my mum. Fingers crossed that cookie doesn't wink at me in the meantime...

Did you have a delightful Easter weekend? Do you rate pink?
