My Anonymous Friend

Hello There!

So there is a man, I guess I would call him my "friend", that lives on a road near Boyfie's house which I drive past everyday. I must tell you I have never actually formally met this man before and he may or may not be a bit simple minded but that doesn't matter either way.

One day I saw this man while I was driving past and he was waving to cars. He waved to me, so naturally I waved back. Everytime I would drive past this friend would wave to me with a huge grin on his face and I would wave back. It became somewhat of a ritual and I found myself checking on my way past to see if he was out the front.

It perhaps got a little strange when one day I pulled up at a set of lights next to a blue car and saw a man waving frantically out his window at me. He obviously now knows my car. It got even a little weirder one rainy day on my way to work when that same little blue car flashed its lights at me and I see a very smiley man waving through his windscreen.

When my friend sees me he gets this big smile across his face. I like to think by me waving to him I make his day. Can I be really honest though? He kind of makes my day too. I often find myself grinning the rest of the trip home.

Simple things - kind gestures, just a friendly smile and a wave to another human being, someone you don't even know, do go a long way.  It always makes me feel happy when I am on the receiving and giving end.

So next time you are having a bad day just smile at a passing by stranger and I guarantee their smile back will lift your spirits.

SORTED: Catch Up with Friends

Happy Monday my Stylish Friends!

As everyone returns home during their work and uni holidays to be with their family for the Christmas period there is never a better time to catch up with old friends.

As a backyard barbie and pool party will undoubtedly be on your list of social activities it is time to plan the perfect outfit.

In my opinion you cannot go past a playsuit. It is an easy alternative that ticks all the boxes.

I would go for something like below. A simple, comfortable cut which falls perfectly. It can easily transfer into a night look. Team it with a long pendant necklace and some cute ballet flats. Don't forget a little fedora hat and the sunscreen though.

The only question with this Red Herring playsuit is the awkward tan line one might encounter.

Opt for strapless if you plan on being under the sun for the majority of the day.

Yours Stylishly
