I don't know about you but I am inspired!
This one was worn in Paris for the first time. I thrifted the dress and the black slip underneath while we were in America, the belt came from a charity shop somewhere and the silver shoes are from New Look.
This is all you are getting of the black and white shirt dress I got at UBC in America as the full shots are awful! This was the second dress I saw and was a bargain at $4.79 - the first dress was $79 - I didn't buy that one!
I think I wore this outfit to go to Blackpool in the week between our hols but I can't remember! The shirt was thrifted in America (see below for details) and the stripey jeans were from UBC. The plimsoles were in a £2 bag I got at the jumble sale and therefore work out at about 20p!
Details on the shirt
And the girls had to get in on the action too - they are 100% thrifted too as was Matt but he didn't want his photograph taken!
And just beacuse I love this photograph! Taken at the top of the Eiffel Tower on 6th August 2009 - our anniversary :)
Very pretty. We then spotted a man who had stripped down to his swimming trunks (it was stupidly hot and sunny) and he laid down. After about 30 secs he sat up, looked around and whipped his trunks off! He can't be nude we thought - he's in the middle of bloody Paris with tourist boats going past every few minutes and he has people sat right behind him! It only took a couple of photographs to reveal that he was indeed naked! I cracked up when Matt exclaimed 'I think that one is a cock shot!' And it was - and here it is!
I urge you not to look too closely!!
And there he is at the end of the isle with a bloody huge boat going past!! He's lying next to the post in case you can't see him - at one point he was lying with his legs spread!
Unfortunately after we had walked round to where we could get a better view (!) he had put this rather fetching posing pouch on. We weren't the only ones to see him as when we got round to the point above him there was a giggling girl of about 9 and her dad taking photo's too :) A rather unusual start to our hols!!

In Disneyland Paris December 2008
And me (being terrified of water!) standing next to the very disappointing Desoto Falls in the US.
We went on the Incline Railway in Chattanooga while we were in the US - it got much steeper than this!
It was quite comfortable.
And a long way up!
But the view from the top was well worth it!
So while we were in America I bought some new ones. There were lots of them at the Unclaimed Baggage Centre as strangely enough, not too many people label their actual glasses. First up these Nautica ones which are an unusual shape for me but I think they look ok.
Next up are these Ray Ban ones which I wasn't sure if they were too dark for me but Matt assures me that they aren't.
And these red frames were only $3 (and will cost about £12 to be re-glazed) so I couldn't resist them as something a bit different!
And as my sunglasses at the moment are way too small and let sunlight in all around the edge, I decided to get some huge ones. I think these ones are big enough!!
It worked out about the same price to buy these frames in the US and bring them back here to get them re-glazed than it would be for me to buy a decent pair of glasses here! Do let me know which ones you like :)
I'd just said wibbly bottoms to the girls here to make them laugh as they were being grumpy!
We looked at some fireplaces
We spent time looking and exploring.
We went walking
And running
And dancing!
And bowing of course!
And after all that we needed a lollipop to give us energy!
