It's summer again! If only it could stay like this for another week so I don't have to endure a wet festival weekend in Wales I'd be a happy Vix.
My lovely friend, Reva tagged me with the following questions:
2. What is your favorite Movie of all time ? Monsoon Wedding
3. Sent to a desert island for a whole month ! What 3 things must you take? Bikini's not allowed ;) A barrel of rum, A suitable Boy as it's a really gripping (and long) read and my man.
4. I just gave you 500 bucks to shop with! Which store and why ? The local Salvation Army Charity Shop because it's full of cheap vintage goodies and serves chip butties and mugs of tea, too.
5. What would your life's theme song be ? Why ? Wild Thing by the Troggs, it was playing when my Mum gave birth to me and sums me up.
6. If you could teach a child one thing you've learned, what would it be ? Love yourself, no-one else will if you don't.
7. Who is your Hero ? Michael Lang for organising Woodstock and being a thoroughly nice guy with bang-on hippie credentials
8. And last but not least! If you could ask God one question, what would it be ? Can you make the British Summer hot and sunny and 12 months long, please?
And an extra, though you don't have to answer. Shaving or waxing ? Shaving because it's cheap and quick and I can do it myself.
The equally lovely Vicki tagged me with these questions:
1. What is your dream job? Quality testing the sand on Arambol beach, Goa.
2. What is your favourite item of clothing? My 1970's leather jacket I bought 18 years ago on my first charity shop date with Jon.
3. Where do you see yourself in 5 years time? Still alive, dressed to the nines and having fun.
4. Who is your celebrity crush? Changes on a regular basis but Jarvis Cocker's a long-time favourite.
5. If you could go on holiday anywhere in the world where would you go? India
6. What made you start blogging? I'd run out of real-life friends to bore about shopping.
7. If you had unlimited funds and could splurge on one item what would it be? A flight to New Zealand so's I can go play with Helga.
8. What never fails to make you smile? I'm always grinning insanely, complete strangers call me "smiler".

That's a particularly delightful green. I wonder if our local Sally Army shop does chip butties. Not that they'd do me any good but you can't help your appetites. ;o)
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't like you so much I think I'd hate you for having such gorgeous pins when I've got table-legs . And where's the cellulite? You don't have any! You are SO lucky. Tell us you work really hard down the gym to look the way you do.
uhuh sister... YOU rock!!! LOVE love love love love LOVE this look, LOVE this apple green on you, wow and damn Vix... your legs...
ReplyDelete"quality testing the sand..." hahahahahaha!!!!
Coincidentally I just recommended A Suitable Boy to someone who wanted a loooong and gripping read!!!
Thank you for your answers, I love finding out more about my favourite bloggers and hmm...I just may do this too!! xoxo
Jaljen's right you have a fabulous figure and make everything you wear look great - I too am sooo jealous. I love your advice to a child to always love themselves, working as I do with children with special needs it's such a good philosophy, I sometimes think I could do with heeding that bit of advice too. xxx
ReplyDeleteChip butties and Tea at the Sally Army - oh man, I wish we had one! That is just my idea of heaven...
ReplyDeleteKandi x
Ah, those shorts are so sexy and playful.
ReplyDeleteI might have to pinch that green blouse off you when next in England. I see you have shorts weather after all that rain;-)
Ah, to look as gorgeous as you do - am still working on it. lol. Thank you, my sweet friend, for the nice mention and award.
XOXO
A charity shop where you can have a chip butty and a cup of tea? That is my idea of heaven!!
ReplyDeleteJust stumbled upon your blog , you say in your profile that you love India , how nice :) have you been here anytime ?
ReplyDeleteP.S i'm loving it here , your style and energy :)
You rock yourself, Vix. Love your answers (Wild Thing by the Troggs is on my playlist too and I'll always say YES to sun and beach.) I had a moment of 'this girl really knows how to enjoy herself' when I read: 'a suitable boy and my man' - but oh hey, it's a book, dah!
ReplyDeleteI love the color of ur top and ur dream job description:-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you read my comment yesterday about getting your pins out! You look fab in shorts.
ReplyDeleteI saw Jarvis Cocker on the Eurostar in April. He is so cool it's not fair!
Dear Vix, I love your outfit, that green is gorgeous! The glasses are great too! xx
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit, this is one of my favorites! Gorgeous, hope it stays sunny for the festival! XX!
ReplyDeleteRocking those shorts and boots! I too ran out today in short shorts to grab some badly needed vitamin D. I read all your answers - they were very funny - please keep the pressure up on God!
ReplyDeleteThis green outfit is triggering my green eyed monster. I don't know how many times I have commented on this but your legs...! One day you'll have to share your secret to those pins with us all
ReplyDeleteGreen suits you so much, what a summery outfit, you look great.
ReplyDeleteThose Kate Moss Topshop shorts are adorable, there’s a Kate Moss embroidered jacket I've been after for a few years now, but it's never turned up on my travels...yet!
And I just heart your sunnies. YSL for 50p! Now that is something to smile about :)xx
I love this look! You are cuter than cute! And those sunnies are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I ADORE the reason you started blogging! LOL! Ah, and now I must put my baby to bed...he is up past naptime and thus is entertaining himself by looking at picture books...it's very cute. But still, it's nap time!!!
Great answers - haven't got round to reading A Suitable Boy yet, but one of these days...
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of your shirt and you got those Kate Moss shorts at an amazing price, well done. xx

Great questionaire,I'll be keen to tackle one of those!
I'm impressed that your local Sallies serve chip butties!Yummo!
LOVE Helga xxxXXXxxx
Another stunning outfit! I love the way you've teamed up the necklaces with the deep 'v' of the shirt. Sexy, but subtle.
ReplyDeleteLook out for my answered questions appearing on my blog soon - I love these sort of things.
P.S. YSL @ 50p? - You're a complete bargain magnet, Vix
I love your dream job. And you look amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh Vix! You never disappoint! Those answers were great and this outfit is one of my fav.s so far!
ReplyDeleteThe shorts are killer and the blouse is perfet with them. I hope my letter to Anonymous wasn't "bitchy", I really didn't intend it to be. I have seem so many sweet bloggers get smacked by someone for no reason, and it can really be hurtful, but then I decided to stop editing my own blog for lack of approval from others ;) and wrote what was in my heart. Now I am kinda wishing I'd kept it to myself. Some anonymous comments are sweet :)
I'm heading to the library site to see if Monsoon Wedding is there, and I too am a beach babe all the way. I think if I could do either, I'd still hit the beach ;)
Excellent outfit and excellent answers too! Top notch stuff as usual =) xx
ReplyDeleteYou look like a dream, Vix! Love the short shorts - your legs are killer. xx
ReplyDelete'twas really fun to read your answers. I love what you'd do with $500! And I'd love to go with you and watch you spend it. You come out with the best stuff.
ReplyDeleteThe sunglasses are cool; and you wear short shorts like no other blogging friend!
Dear Vix,
ReplyDeletebig YAY for those fantabulous shades!
I really enjoy reading other peeps random Q&As.
We both opted for green in our outfits today :)
...xXx
Your such a stylish woman Vix! You have lovely long pins too. I love how you put colour in your outfits. I need to follow you in the colour department.
ReplyDeleteGreat tags too. I love how you and John went on a charity shop date..so sweet. I think that's probably the only time Ben will go into a shop with me..a second hand/thrift store. He likes finding old school jackets...he really thinks he was part of the early hip hop era :)
xx
Loved reading your answers :)
ReplyDeleteAwh shucks, just noticed now that I'm linked in your sidebar. If/when I got a 'blogs i heart' sidebar thing I would link to your blog. (I read every post hah)

ReplyDeleteLovee the rings ;-)

Those are gorgeous shorts... and you certainly have the legs for them. You look great. I hope that the weather is great for Wales... especially since I'm off camping this week too! xx
ReplyDeleteI can't get over how fab your legs are!!! Gorgeous outfit, and fab answers!
ReplyDeleteOh you sassy minx! I would probably kill (well at least commit GBH) for legs like yours. Gah, if only I wasn't so short and stumpy.
ReplyDeleteAnd just to catch up on the posts I missed - I am still drooling over your new pendants. What unbelievable bargains! The Georgian style one is just stunning. Envy!!
Awesome sunglasses!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit Vix, your shorts are gorgeous! Have a great day! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great outfit, Vix! I love how you've balanced the short length of the shorts with the shirt to make it classy and cool.
ReplyDeleteI fear the summer's pretty much over in East Anglia :-(
Luuuurvely sunglasses, hope the weather perks up for this weekend!
ReplyDeleteVix you look fab I love the whole outfit. Really wish I could get away with something like that. Boots and shorts are such a fab combination.
