Friday Fabulousness : Glamour All The Way



Chanel Spring 2012

"Glamour....
the quality of fascinating, alluring, or attracting, especially by a combination of charm and good looks"

....that's the dictionary definition and I guess we all have our personal view of what is glamorous.

When I think of glamorous women, it's Sophia Loren, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor that come immediately to mind...I can't think of anyone under the age of 30!
Glamour has something "old school" about it.

I did though go to school with a girl who was always glamorous....
she had that aura about her even at 16 - and of course stood out since none of the rest of us had managed to find any glamour whatsoever in our school uniforms!
Funnily enough, she became "famous" and is still totally glamorous.... 

Some people just have it....
whether it's a way of dressing, conducting themselves or living their lives....
a state of mind....
a bit like sex appeal, it's that almost indefinable thing.

Be it red lipstick, Chanel sunglasses (or Chanel anything really), Louboutins, diamonds or just that certain je ne sais quoi....

Isn't a little glamour so much fun though?!

Thank you for all the lovely comments this week, have a wonderful weekend!!


Friday Fabulousness : The Littlest Things

Hello again...I'm lucky enough to be posting for Simone for the second time this week. Told you guys that we are besties :-) And today is even more special as I get to take part in Simone's trademark blog post. The Friday Fabulousness post. A post which always seems to make my mind wander off to so many different fabulous places...I just seem to get lost in all the dreams in my head. That's what I love so so much about these weekly posts. So here is my go at it...I've probably picked all these photos up from Simone herself haha as I seem to save every single photo that she posts.

So hopefully you let your mind wander off to your dreams too...






Please get in my closet....ASAP.


breakfast in bed...the ultimate way to start the day.






I definitely want to try this.







I am so looking forward to wearing cozy little jumpers.





Have a fabulous weekend,

lots of love Sophie xx

Friday Fabulousness: Guest Post by Trish

Happy Friday, Dearest Readers!


I'm Trish from Pink Preppy Lilly Lover, bringing you Friday Fabulousness on behalf of Simone.  I am thrilled to be here, am grateful to be among so many talented ladies that have been guest posting here at The Bottom of the Ironing Basket! 

Simone and I have yet to meet in person,
(though I lived in London for a year while studying at the London College of Fashion)
but she and I share a passion for many of the same things in life...
Our beloved family and friends;
Fine wines, and cocktails shared with girlfriends;
All things feminine, ruffly, and sophisticated;


Beautiful photography;
A sunset shared with a loved one;
George Clooney;
and as much time on the beach as one can possibly spend! 


Here is my little tribute to Simone, and everything that is Fabulous this Friday...Enjoy!


I can't wait to hear about the exquisite things she's seen on her trip;
perhaps pails full of the most gorgeous roses, in bold and beautiful colors...


A lovely stroll through a garden,
and of course taking the opportunity to look for beauty in everything...



Time for a little dancing on the beach,
 feeling sand between her toes, and the gentle breeze in her hair...


Lounging poolside, with a big hat and a stack of books,
and preferably a handsome cabana boy to bring her the chilled beverage of her choice!



Magical sunsets surrounded by loved ones,


Perhaps a little overindulging in sweet treats,




And time for dressing up, and hitting the town for a day of shopping!



End your fabulous day with a little glamorous nightlife...
Cocktails and jazz; C'est parfait!


Simone, I hope you are enjoying every moment of your amazing trip to France.
We miss you very much and can't wait to hear all about it when you get home!


Thanks again for having me today;
Wishing you each an absolutely lovely weekend ahead!

With love,
xoxo
