Sanctuary Faux Leather Leggings curated on LTK

You've probably noticed the current surge in faux leather everything. It's grabbed the fashion industry like pumpkin spice everything grabs the food industry at this time of year! I decided to try out some of the faux leather pants offerings from various popular brands along the high street and review them for quality, style and fit. There were plenty to choose from... baggy, leggings, flared and varying degrees of quality, all coming in under $100 a pair, some less than $50. My findings are on the blog - www.aboveandbeblonde.com These leggings were among my findings and are linked in the @liketoknow.it app. http://liketk.it/2G5Sk #liketkit #LTKunder50 #LTKunder100

Gorgeous one piece swimsuit with scalloped detail. Elegant, classy and extremely flattering. I love the high neck as it protects my decolletage from the sun, very important for my midlife skin. Oh and no butt muffins because the high rise cut has no tight elastic at the back side!

Puff sleeves and parties! 🎈

Took the day off work so I could join in the surprise Zoom birthday party for my bestie in England! It was so lovely but due to the time difference they drank champagne and I drank English breakfast tea... which basically is my champagne of the morning hours! 🎈

I still think a man invented Zoom... how is it we can't all talk at the same time! 🎈

Anyway, this is what I wore and this super cute top is on major sale, less than $30 and available in most sizes! Linked in the @liketoknow.it app 🎈

Orange a-peel 🧡 and what better way than with the comfiest shorts everrrrr (that's me doing an American accent 😉). Super stretchy, lightweight and keep their shape. They're a good length too! Other colours available if orange isn't your favorite segment!

Now lets talk about this top. Puff sleeves, cool linen, lined and with a stretchy back panel, there's no amount of weekend frivolities that cannot be accommodated with this little number, and it's a bargain right now reduced from $80 to less than $35! Swipe to see close-ups and there are pops of pink in there too!

Orange has suddenly become my happy colour - warm, summery, bright and uplifting. What's your happy colour?

I sized up in this cute sporty tee, a loser fit means I can also knot it for a cropped look!

This floaty kimono is the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe. So lightweight it's barely there, but bright and vibrant it's ever-so-there! It's the perfect topper to shorts, pants, skirts, even a swimsuit coverup! What's not to love! Oh, and it currently has 40% off!

Oribe Dry Texrurizing Spray is by far one of the best products I've been using for several years now to make my hair appear fuller. It gives it a slight hold and a sexy effortless texture, not to mention that it smells amazing. So when I found this deal I had to share because I thought I'd won the lottery! A collection of Oribe dry styling products, including a full size texturizing spray ($45), a travel size texturizing spray ($22) and a travel size "Thick Dry Finishing Spray" ($22) for the total price of $46... hair today, gone tomorrow 😃 better grab one while you can!

Happy Saturday friends!

Old classics like a Fair Isle sweater never date and are a wonderful way to add eye catching pattern to an outfit. Paired with on-trend faux leather pants and a fun furry clutch bag gives it a modern day twist!

There are some gorgeous Fair Isle sweaters out there which I've linked via the @liketoknow.it app and now have convinced myself I need another one! http://liketk.it/2HUis #liketkit

It's a cosy sweater and jeans weekend!
This is one of my favorite wear-with-all cable knit sweaters. Not too long or bulky but still a loose fit for an easy laid back vibe, looks great with skirts too. Best of all, it's super soft, doesn't itch and the relaxed mock neck doesn't make me feel all trussed up! And of course, there's 50% off right now which makes it a wear-with-all, must-have, steal-of-a-deal! 😃

Leopard on leopard! 🐆

This blouse has been a great addition to my wardrobe already. Light, airy and comfortable, it has a pretty button detail at the cuffs and neck. It will make a nice top to wear for Thanksgiving paired with black pants, jeans or a leather skirt! There's only a couple of sizes left online but you could check instore at @hm if they have more. It also comes in other colour ways! The snake print is delightful too!

You can check it out in the @liketoknow.it app http://liketk.it/2H8o3

All checked in and ready for fall! 🍂🍁 Buffalo check brushed cotton shirt is an easy casual pairing with most bottoms. Grey jeans make a nice change especially with a brown or tan contrast, a surprising combination but it seems to work!

A leopard blouse for under $20 and it also comes in snakeprint! A useful and inexpensive addition to a fall winter wardrobe worn with jeans, trousers or skirts and suitable for work if you're a boss babe! It has pretty gold tone button detail along the cuffs and at the back of the standup collar! It also washes up a treat, on a warm gentle cycle, hang dry in minutes and ready to wear again and again!

Let the poofyness begin!

Do you like the exaggerated sleeve trend?

Rigsby is a fan as am I! The oversized sleeves create the illusion of a more slender silhouette and can also be a great camouflage for midlife bingo-wings! Gotta love that! 😀

Skived off work and went for lunch with the ladies earlier this week. This is what I wore, electric blue with lashings of vivid floral colour. It was a bright day all round! 💙🌹💙🌹

Now let's talk about this adorable pearl bag! It's so pretty, beautifully made and very sturdy. It's a fabulous dupe of a designer bag and only a 10th of the price!💃 It comes with a removable satin pouch with pearl toggles to hide secrets in! 💌

Happy Thursday friends! 💋

I need underwear that feels like no underwear. Found it!

If you need a supply of everyday white shirts that will compliment both your business attire and a classic jeans look but you don't want to break the bank, this slightly fitted V-neck cotton blend shirt with a little stretch is an absolute winner. It washes up beautifully, looks very professional for work and gives a sharp look to casual jeans. At only $19.99 it's worth picking up a few and with 6 color ways to choose from, you can't go wrong. I've sized up for a looser fit.

Tiers of joy!

I've had this tiered skirt for over 10 years and although it doesn't see the light of day very often, I've never been able to part with it. Something in my heart always told me to hold onto it and every time I wear it I'm so glad I did!

Maxi tiered skirts have resurfaced again recently, the boho vibe they conjure up is synonymous with summer. I've linked an almost identical one which is currently on sale for less than $50 as well as some other choices and pieces from this outfit. @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2Dqro #liketkit #LTKsalealert #LTKstyletip #LTKunder50

Hot day, cool sunnies! 😎

A great way to accessorize any outfit is with fun sunglasses! These pearlised-white cateye frames with mirrored lenses are a whole lot of face fun along with pearl hoop earrings!

Still loving my ugly sandals... sorry! (Not sorry)🤣

They're trendy, they're ugly... and I love 'em!

Ugly sandals were never my cup of tea until I found the cutest ugly sandals ever in shiny rose gold and a thick athletic sole! When comfort is this cute, I'll take these ugly sandals anyday!

Are you digging the ugly sandals trend?

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! This cutie patutie swimsuit made its's debut yesterday after some tennis with hubby! It has a vintage vibe about it with the flattering ruched seams, tummy control and halter neck which can be worn two ways. I've posted some other views of it in stories so you can see how flattering it is from every angle! The best part is it's less than $30 and there are 25 fabrics to choose from!

Who needs a bra when you can wear a fannypack!

Especially one as cute as this. It has a top handle to carry it like a purse, then there's the obvious way - belted around the waist. It has plenty of room - fits my wallet, sunglasses, key fob and lipstick! I love the Versace-esque embellishment and chain detail. All very "uplifting" don't you think! 🤗

P,us, it's on major sale right now, down to $22!

Good morning and happy Wednesday! 💞

There must have been a lot of savagery happening last night 😱 When I took Rigsby 🐶 for his walk this morning an injured bird was hiding under a bush by our front door, which Rigsby almost pulled me over trying to get to. The bird managed to run and flutter it's way for cover elsewhere whilst Rigsby was choking himself to death held back me! 💪Then we saw various other bird parts on our way around the block, obviously someone else didn't make it 🙏😢 The predator might have been a coyote, a bobcat or even an owl!

On a more cheerful note, my floral top is currently 40% off and I found Sam Edelman woven sandals for 30% off, which also come in black or white!
