OOTD - Celebrating With A Spot Of Navy & Black & A BIG Thank You

Whoop whoop happy Friday ladies!  Before I share what I'm wearing today I've recently had some very exciting news that I'm still pinching myself to check I haven't dreamt!

The other week I was lucky enough to be invited to the Next Blogger Network event but because of my darn toes a full day out in London plus the small fact I'd need to wear shoes all day meant that I just couldn't make it as my toes were just too painful & swollen.  Naturally I was gutted to miss such an event & from following tweets & postings on Twitter & Instagram on the day it looked like it was a wonderful & informative event.  So you can imagine my surprise when the lovely people at Next got in touch the next day to say that not only had I been nominated for an award I'd only gone & won Best NBN Blogger!!!  To say I was amazed, shocked & delighted is probably something of an understatement & a small *big* whoop whoop may have been said!  To have been nominated is amazing so as you can imagine I feel extremely shocked that little old me managed to win it.

Plus can you believe it I've even got my own stunning glass award, which now has pride of place at home :-)

So I just wanted to say to each & everyone of you that follows, comments & supports me THANK YOU.  My blog really would be nothing without all you lovely ladies & it still completely blows my mind that anyone reads my blog let alone follows me but I do really appreciate it & can't believe the amazing journey this blog is taking me on.  I should also of course thank Next for the nomination & win & a big thank you to my hubby & son because without their love & support I'd still be thinking about writing a blog but would never have found the confidence to go for it.

Anyway back to today & it's the day before my birthday so I'm taking the day off work & meeting my mum & sister for an early birthday lunch & catch up :-)

I'm keeping things nice & simples & bringing out the over the knee boots & teaming with shades of black & navy.
