What I Wore Wednesday: Meet Innocent Charmer

I'm getting ready for Blondie Boy's first day of primary school tomorrow (!!!!) so the lovely Kara, from Innocent Charms Chat is stepping in and guest posting today! Kara is a super sweet blogger who I had the pleasure of working in a previous job and she's an amazing mum to Grayson, Addison & Deacon and tirelessly campaigns and strives to make sure Grayson, who has special needs, gets the best for him. It's been amazing watching her fight for him and watching him come on leaps and bounds thanks to his amazing mother! She's also a fashion fanatic--without further ado here is Kara....

I love this Kimono, it is by far one of my favourite purchases this past year, it is simple to wear, covers the bingo wings and has neon hints. I love neon, I wish I could find more fashion items with neon touches.

It is simple to dress, I have worn it on a date night dressed up or like in this outfit today with a cami and jeans for a day out shopping.

I am a plus size girl and up until recently I found it hard finding exciting clothes to wear, but since becoming involved in the Plus Size Blogging community my outfits are becoming a lot more fun.

This outfit embraces my love of blue, every since having my youngest son I am obsessed with blue.

Outfit Details

What I Wore Wednesday: Meet Miss West End Girl

I love being able to meet fellow Glaswegian bloggers at events and one of my favourite I've met is my soul sista Lynsay. We both have a penchant for all things glitter and she's one of the most likeable people I've ever met. I hope you'll will welcome her today and check out her fab blog!

Hello! I'm Lynsay (AKA Miss West End Girl) and I'm chuffed to be guest posting on Transatlantic Blonde this week! Today's WIWW comes all the way from sunny London, where I spent a few days at the start of this month. The weather was so glorious that I finally got to bust out my sunglasses from Forever 21's Bats and Cats collection, hurrah! I love their exaggerated cat-eye shape and matte black finish - purr-fect (sorry) for prowling around the streets of London! 

That day we decided a trip to the British Museum was in order, and making the most of the sunny weather, decided to walk. I couldn't think of a better way to stay comfy (and cute!) on the way than by wearing my pink Hello Kitty x Vans sneakers. Anyone that knows me will probably tell you that I am RARELY seen without something big/ sparkly/ ridiculous perched on my noggin, so continuing with my kitty theme that day I wore my black rhinestone Liberace ears by Crown and Glory (my favourites!). 

My pink metallic skirt is by ASOS - my top bargain from this years post-Christmas sales (psst...it was only £13!) - it totally makes me want to be a cheerleader from outer space. Until that day comes, I'll continue to rock it as everyday wear! My tank top and biker jacket are from Topshop and polka dot tights are from Forever 21. 

When it comes to jewellery, I'm less a diamonds and more a plastic kinda gal. My brooch and necklace are both by Tatty Devine - another one of my favourites! 

We had an awesome day at the British Museum and if you're ever in London, it's worth checking out! Until the next trip I'm home sweet home for now, and you can read more from me writing about life and style in Glasgow (and beyond!) over at my blog. A huge thanks to the blonde bombshell herself for having me - have a wonderful week everyone!

5 Year Blogoversary £100 Voucher Giveaway!

It's been five years since I started rambling away about randomness here on Transatlantic Blonde. I've blogged on and off for years so when I started I never imagined I'd actually stick with it this long or that y'all would actually read it! I'm still continuously shocked that I have an audience outside of my friends and family who have to listen to me :)

To celebrate my blogoversary I think it makes the most sense to give a present not to myself but to my amazing readers--I wouldn't have accomplished all of this without your support! The traditional fifth anniversary gift is wood; no offence to trees but that's kinda boring. So instead I'm giving y'all the chance to choose your present! You could win your choice of £100 vouchers in my blogoversary giveaway!

If you read my blog you'll know I have a lot of different interests and cover a lot of different topics so I couldn't just choose one prize! All of the prize options give you a chance to win some of my favourite things! When you enter my 5th blogoversary giveaway you are entering for a chance to win your choice of:

£100 of Amazon vouchers or

£100 of ASOS vouchers or

£100 of SpaFinder vouchers or

£100 of Starbucks vouchers!

I dare you to tell me there isn't something there for everyone! What is there on Amazon you can't buy? I'm in love with all their American grocery items personally but then I also would love a mini shopping spree on ASOS or treat myself to some pampering with SpaFinder or feed my Frappuccino addiction with Starbucks. No matter what you choose I'll be jealous!

To enter leave a blog comment with which option you'd choose and what you'd buy with your vouchers and follow the instuctions on Rafflecopter. Competition ends Friday, July 19th (see widget for hours remaining). See Rafflecopter widget for full Terms and Conditions. OPEN WORLDWIDE! Vouchers will be issued to equivalent of £100 if you live outside of the UK.

Thank you to the friendly folks at Appliances Online for donating the prize! Good luck!
