Woman Crush Wednesday ( The English Edit! )

Imagine befriending a person online and then finally getting the opportunity to meet them in person. Sounds great right……. except if the person turns out to be a total nightmare!

Lucky for me that scenario didn’t play out and the person in question turned out to be just as lovely and warm as I imagined they would be.

So who is this gorgeous English rose you ask?

It’s a lovely lovely lady by the name of Vicki, otherwise known as The Fashionable Mum! If you don’t know her already, shame on you! And if you are familiar with her then you would know what a great lady she is.

Vicki 'The Fashionable Mum' — Vicki ‘The Fashionable Mum’

What I love about Vicki is not just her fab fashion sense but a genuine warmth that radiates from her. This is what I love about blogging, the fantastic people you can meet and chat with. I had the pleasure of finally meeting Vicki in person at last week’s Myer #giftorium launch. She had brought along her two gorgeous girls ( her eldest daughter’s name is Grace, like my daughter! ) and whilst I knew she was going to be there somewhere I really wish our first encounter had not been in the ladies loo, such a glamorous way to make introductions!

Vicki is a fellow bargain hunter and thrift shop extraordinaire having recently taken part in #restyle 2014. I was blown away by some of the outfits she had put together. At the moment Vicki is taking part in #Frocktober and doing a brilliant job. If you would like to donate to her page and help raise money for Ovarian Cancer research CLICK HERE!

Apart from being an all round lovely gal with a cute English accent Vicki is also a fan of K-mart (or as she told me ‘It’s K-marni’ ) and I’m loving the fact that I have a new friend who is also a runway model……how many of you can say that!
