New clothes from Joules

I am beyond excited.  My sister started working for one of my favourite high street stores, Joules, last month.  She loves it there.  She is an accountant and works at head office rather than in an actual store but the perks they have at the office are fab!  One of my favourites is that she has access to the staff vegetable patch - how cool is that?!   My sis tells me that her colleagues are all lovely, friendly and (of course) fashionable.  I am so pleased for her.

Oh, what the heck, I'm pleased for me.  She gets a bit of a staff discount on the clothes.  WOO-HOO!!!  I've already got loads of Joules stuff in my wardrobe but I plan on trebling it.  I think sis has just become my new favourite shopping companion.

Here is one of the outfits I'm going to be purchasing for myself:


They have a sale on at the moment and I think this dress might be reduced.  Love it.  Love the cardigan, love the tights and love the beads.  Here's the link.  Whilst you're there you might want to have a look at the gorgeous welly boots (I got a fab pair of navy stars and stripes wellies there a couple of years ago).  Ooh, I just love their stuff.  

Hurrah for sisters.

PS What do you think of my blog's new look?  Thought I'd mix things up a bit around here.

  9. Oh you lucky, lucky girl, I had a peek at Joules web page, oh such lovely clothes, envy big time. I lust after that white jacket too, the dress is a little short for me at this age, however much I like it.

  11. Now that's a handy relative! I'm still in 'Buy Nothing New Month' so I'm not following your link for fear of turning green & reaching for the credit card... Happy shopping though!

  12. Lush blog, didn't know it was "you". Barely recognised ya. Nearly walked past!
    It looks fab.
    I like Joules but as a cherry tree fanatic, shops like Joules/Boden/Kew/Mistral/Noa Noa scare me with their prices!!!!! To me, the dress you want is a small fortune. But very cute and you will look lush in it. And you must post a pic for us when you get it!
    Re your comments on my blog, ha, thanks for those.
    Do NOT get freaked by the breastfeeding thing, its not as bad as it sounds and I've probably painted a scary image for ya. The world health organisation says up to two years and he is two years and four months. I guess I am only embarrassed by it cos of loads of reactions from other mums, but I have to say that when the prince is ever ill and won't eat or drink, it's an absolute godsend. He never bites (I guess cos been doing it way before he got teeth and hasn't changed his style) so I have been really lucky. Plus he sucks the calories out like you wouldn't believe!!!! I eat chocolate and never really feel guilty.
    I know he won't want to feed forever, but I don't want to force him to stop something that is so natural to him, just because mums at toddler group raise their eyebrows when they hear I am still feeding!! I NEVER do it during the day or in public, just at 7pm, for ten mins, before bed. It's our time for a cuddly, bonding moment that won't last forever.
    Please don't dream about my boobs anymore, that would be a horrendous thing to do, esp when you could be dreaming about Jon Bon Jovi (or insert other utterly hot sleb here). Now I have rambled on and I really haven't finished. I LOVE your log house, I am thrilled the major work is over and that you survived and I hope you have a beautiful weekend.
    Lots of love
