I forgot, my uniform these days consists of paint tees and jeans/shorts! All I seem to be doing is painting and sanding, and painting and sanding, you get it, right?
Sue
Hi Sarah, My uniform is not too far from yours but because I live in beautiful sunny Queensland I live in denium shorts and singlets! Love the beadboard wall paper and I only wish I had enough time to paint my existing beadboard white!

My everday “uniform” switches between jeans and tees (sometimes accessorized with my fedora or newsie cap), maxi dresses, and shorter dresses with leggings. And always flats! I’m 6′ with a bad back so highheels are out now (man I’m an old lady at 25-haha)!
Thanks for showing us Lisa’s designs…I checked out her blog and love her jewelry…very much my style..stuff that won’t just lay in a jewelry box but will be worn, and worn everyday…love that!
I am always cold so during the winter I wear jeans that have flannel on the inside and a turtle neck and sweatshirt!! While living in the Mojave desert, I wear lightweight pants and t-shirts in the summer…but, this summer we’ll be moved to the beach (still can’t belive it!!) so it will be cooler…I might be living in sweatshirts all year long!
It will be worth it though to be out of the desert!!
Beautiful gifts! I get every morning and put on my exercise pants, tshirt, socks and tennis shoes. This way I can meet the day ready to accomplish anything! Have a beautiful day!
Happiness Always, Pamie G.
i love lisa and her jewelry! my everyday uniform is jeans and a t-shirt. comfort is the way to go. by the way – love your blog. it is so inspirational.
Usually a singlet top, sarong and a pair of black rubber thongs (aka flip-flops)but if it is not too hot a flammable frock from the 70s and gold rubber thongs. Good giveaway by the way.
While my most of my uniform depends on the weather–jeans, capris, shorts–longsleeve, shortsleeve or tanktop–one thing is a constant–my FLIP-FLOPS!! I have ones for the beach, ones for hanging out at home, ones for gardening, shopping, even dressy ones. What can I say? It’s a lifestyle thing here on the coast of FL.
What a great prize! In my dream life, the uniform would be jeans and t-shirt, with a great butt to fill ‘em out…maybe the 350 would work for me. In my real life khakis and polo is the choice. Have a great day!
My ‘everyday style’ is quite eclectic. I do wear jeans, t-shirts and either Cons or pumps alot, but always with some accessories to dress it up – a funky scarf and earrings, or a chunky necklace. I quite like wearing a dress over jeans too almost of all mine had some nod to 50s style, and in winter I chuck cardigans over eveything! I’m very lucky in that my everyday clothes are also my work clothes, as I am a nanny.
My daily garb is a pair of jeans and comfy layered tops, tank and tees and sweater, so I’m ready for anything. I love Lisa Leonard’s designs and would love to give one of her pieces to my daughter for her upcoming 21st birthday!
9 to 5 its dress clothes, 5 to 7 yoga pants w/ t-shirt for gym workout after 7.. pjs. Weekends always jeans, fitted tees and long sweater, cause it is still cold here in the midwest….would love some new jewelry to go along with all these uniforms!
Thanks Terri
Her jewelry is just my style. She has a delicate yet so modern touch.
My everyday…long skirt, tee/tank/or cami, with over lay of long sleeve hoodie and underlay of jeans or sweatpants in winter… with birkenstocks/crocs/ or Uggs in winter. Comfy, cozy, pretty…in white, denim, black, grey, and sand.
What gorgeous pieces! My usual uniform is whatever makes me feel comfy and beautiful that day. Sometimes when the sun is shining bright, I like to work in my cutest of sundresses. But on chilly, overcast days, my uniform is something snuggly and warm:)
My everyday uniform is casual…hmm. Unless I’m obligated to go to a military event. My daily attire is capree pants, a t-shirt, a pull-over long sleeve hoody, and running shoes. Of course for the military attire I wear the usual uniform called an ACU digital with tan boots (U.S.A.). I thought I’d better throw in my country because this is definitely an international blog, which I love about this blog. I was able to work with Aussies and Brits in Iraq, so it’s lovely to hear your dialects relatively in your posts.
Sincerely,
Everyday outfit lately has been hoodies and sweatshirts because I’m always freezing! When the weather is nice or I’m going out I wear layered tees, a scarf and a necklace!
What a great giveaway!
I love Lisa’s necklaces, here’s hoping I win!
Being as though I’m 7 months pregnant, my every day uniform consists of workout pants, t-shirt, and tennies!! (not much different than my regular uniform! )
I am such a JEANS kinda gal. I wear skinny, boyfriend, regular etc. any kind of jean I can find! always paired with a cute but simple top or tank top. (Houston does not get too cold!) flats, wedges and flip flops are my choice for shoes! Lisa’s designs are great love all her stuff!!
My uniform is…..painting clothes!!! I constantly paint, re-paint and do some more painting. Its usually yoga pants and an old business shirt from my husband. However I do venture into ‘proper’ clothes when needs be. Oh, just loving Lisa’s designs!!
My uniform is definitely jeans – I seriously can’t get enough. Maybe it was because I wasn’t allowed to wear them in most of my old workplaces – but now I am my own Mummy boss! I can wear the well loved jeans everyday! I am always on the look out for funky tops & simple stylish accessories to adorn my worn out ‘Mummyness’ – anything Lisa Leonard would make me feel like a princess Sarah XO
I love to wear a t and jeans even in summer where I switch to capri jeans. I would love to own some of her jewelry now that my little ones are old enough not to pull on jewelry! Her designs are divine.
lisag
My everyday wear is jeans and anything cotton with a wool sweater. And jewelry-I love big bracelets and clangy necklaces, so I would love to win this one.
What a fantastic giveaway! My everyday is dark jeans and a cute but comfy top. I do love my UGGs during the winter and any cute little heel in the summer.
I love casual Friday when I can wear my jeans, but on the other days I have the basic work uniform…slacks and a cardigan (boring, I know…but easy to put together in the morning).
My daily “uniform” has dramatically changed in the last year. I am now a stay at home mom, so I am lucky if my uniform is NOT pajama pants and a tshirt. It usually is… at least until mid day. Other than that, you can find me in jeans and a tshirt. Anything machine washable goes these days! (this is a big change from before! But a good one in many ways)
What a wonderful giveaway! My usual uniform…hmmm…I really don’t have a usual one. I tend to switch things up fairly often, but I do have to admit that I wear different clothes at home than I would wear when leaving the house. I am a stay at home mommy, so comfort is key while at home.
I am so in love with Lisa’s designs…very classic and timeless pieces (and great for gift giving too)!
My everyday wear consists mostly of yoga pants and a t-shirt! I am a stay-at-homer so it’s all about comfy for me. But I do enjoy my opportunities to get dressed up cute and go out on the town!
I work in a mid-size law firm, so our dress code is not quite as stodgy as other firms. My daily uniform usually consists of dress pants, blouse, and 3 inch heels. A girl’s gotta keep her style!
My work “uniform” is black pants, flats and any brightly colored top I can get my hands on. I have an obsession with big earrings, so I use them to dress the outfit up a bit
I am definetly a cozy dresser. I have been trying to amp up the Mommy jeans look by adding leggings and cotton dresses into my wardrobe. But my ultimate outfit is jammies and no bra!!!
I love her stuff! I throw my name in the hat for every one of her giveaways. So far no luck:-(
My uniform would normally be my pj’s till I get a shower or till my husband gets ready to come home. What can I say?
G'day! I'm Sarah, I live in a tatty old cottage, near the sea in Australia with a battered old deck & a big old fig tree out the back...stripped wooden floors, old sash windows & a jumble of vintage furniture. [Read More …]
Beach Cottage ladies, we have some vintage linen and some wood/twig washed up on the beach today here in Beach Cottage Land….don’t say I don’t keep you entertained now will you . Come on in. So, yep I have posted about colanders on this blog, about things sourced from the side of the road, about [...]
G'day ladies, let's have a Too Easy Beach Cottage recipe yeah? The original place for Too Easy Recipes on the web ;-)
So, after my last salad went down a storm in my inbox, that's here if you missed it, I had to do this one seeing as I make it most weeks.
There is a problem with this salad and kiddos though...it looks, well, it looks, kinda yucky...but once they try it, they'll ask if and when they are next having it....at least that's what happens in this ratty old cottage...but I must interject here that my kiddos are 'good eaters'? ...they didn't get a choice in that ;-)
Now, stop, don't start running and hitting that next on your blog reading list, pulses are your best friend in the Too Easy Dump & Go kitchen for the busy mum, or busy anyone for that matter...that reminds me I must blog the garlic canneloni Go To for when you forgot to do dinner, feel like a bath but have three ravenous young Beach Cottage Kiddos on your hands...another day.
I am almost embarrassed to tell you how easy this is, we have it so much that I always have a couple, make that six, cans of lentils around and a jar of goat's cheese in the fridge...the great thing about this is that it's all too easy to get ready in just a few minutes, but it looks, tastes and seems like you did oh so very much more than that.
You can obviously too change it up a bit depending on what you have to hand in your kitchen, and I must say that is how I settled on this version...because one day when I made it I didn't have enough Parsley in the garden and so I chucked in some basil too, and liked the Summer feel it added.
I think of this as being a rather posh salad, not sure why, because it couldn't really be further from the truth...the great thing is that it works so well for an average run of the mill day, (when I did this for this blog post, it was a hot Sydney Sunday and I did it just simply to go with Rosemary & Garlic stuffed pork, you can see that pork here),
...but just as easily it works on a regular old Wednesday night when you have lost all enthusiasm for rustling up yet another meal, or indeed on Saturday night, when your friends are on their way over for dinner and you my friend, are in your new vintage inspired clawfoot bathtub (that's me in a few weeks time, k?) without any clothes on, a tipple and no idea what to cook for dinner...
I have a complicated and ever-changing relationship with goat's cheese...it never fails me in its performance and it never fails to impress me (you can find out a bit more on what I like in food here if you like) and I kinda collect it...because it's very easy to collect and has a fairly long fridge-life, I love trying out different ones and there's not many things I love more than goat's cheese on sourdough...but I think the best thing about it is not thinking about it exclusively in the toast/salad department...I've stuffed it in chicken and all sorts of things as a last minute and it's been fab.
But let's get down to the nitty gritty of this super salad that makes you look like an angel who has been on her knees all day scrubbing the front step when really you are in the digital world and spent most of ...
G'day Beach Cottage ladies, howdy, howdy howdy today for a Beach Cottage Too Easy recipe.
If you like cake, cream, sugar and chocolate, make this.
This is, rather than a recipe, a putting it together...as you know I am no dessert maker, but, I do make quite a few sweet things, because, somehow I have ended up with kiddos, who in their roles as offspring, believe that part of the deal, is that not only do I feed them a home-cooked meal with a few homegrown ingredients in there, yes, they also believe that dessert and not the kind that comes out of a packet is included too in this All-Inclusive Deal they call Parenthood.
So, this, for sure, is no culinary masterpiece, but if you are looking for something that is so very easy, dump-able, uses everyday ingredients and at the same time makes you look like you spent hours pulling things together plus tastes good....well, then this is for you.
Best though, you don't make this for yourself, if you have spent the most part of your week sitting on your derriere reading blogs...this my friend ain't low in the calories department...if, however, you are treating yourself to a delight in a mason jar, this is so for you.
I first had a version of this when at dinner back in Old Blighty with a girl, I once, in another life, caught the train up from our village to London with...she was a funny thing really...I am not quite sure how we got on...she was kinda prissy and a bit bothered by too much...I would run to the train flustered, having got up late, and she would have a spreadsheet on the train times, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, a few years later when we both had bambinos, I bumped into her again and we met up for playdates and dinner sometimes....this particular night, after a lovely meal she served up little bowls of creamy, cakey fruity stuff topped off with chocolate flake...it was delicious!
She didn't serve hers in little jars like this, hers were in a champagne glass and not quite so layered as these ones, plus she used tinned fruit not fresh or frozen.
Years later when said offspring kept requesting dessert, one day I wangled together somehow these from what was around in the fridge and they've been with us ever since.
Most likely, if you ever come here for dinner, and shock horror, you dont' bring the dessert with you, this, if you are lucky, will be what you will get.
Throw it all together, sprinkle a lil bit of chocolate on the top and the blog reading past-time you so rudely left in order to make this, is my friend, your oyster.
Beach Cottage Too Easy Layered Raspberry, Cream & Sponge Dessert
1 small maderia or butter cake or a pack of cupcakes (or of course make your own)
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
8 tbsp fruit
1 x chocolate Flake or chocolate bar for grating
1. beat the cream cheese until it is soft
2. whip the cream until soft peaks form
3. combine & add the sugar through
4. cut your cake into portions
& layer into the bottom of your jar
5. add a tablespoon of fruit
6. layer on top the cream combo
7. repeat
8. grate chocolate or Flake on top
*Beach Cottage Recipe Notes : this is just a guide really, you can use any cream that you have on hand...I have made this with clotted cream (don't even go there unless you want to seriously get these babies on your thighs), with double cream and I have even, in desperate times squirted in that, ...
G'day Beach Cottage ladies, well I thought it was time for some blogging tips here today, alongside a few nice flowers and shells ;-)
I was recently part of a blogger discussion group over at Kidspot and a couple of hours later had a few questions from girls who couldn't make it to the live chat, one was on my Facebook page and one via email, the Facebook one I will deal with in another Real Girl Blogging Tips post...the email one asked me what essentials do I think every blog needs?
Well I have been around here for a while now doing the blogging thing, so I should know this, yeah and I mused this on my walk by the sea this morning I thought well what do you only need?
...I think it is really very easy when blogging, whether or not you are blogging up there in the lofty heights of the Super Bloggers or you are just dipping your toe in the water, to get side-tracked by 101 million different things that are 'essential' to your blog and if you are someone like me who actually gets a thrill from reading blogging tips then you are in an even worse place because you will find yourself literally buzzing with these essential things to add/do/implement on your blog.
However, walking along, gulping down that brisk sea air today (no sunshine & clouds) I thought you actually don't need any of that professional blogging stuff to be successful...but there are a few things that are pretty much crucial ...and once I started to think about it I got it down to about 5 - these are the only things that you need to concentrate on...once you have read through take a look at some of the big girl's blogs...you'll see that actually they don't have bundles of stuff on their blogs...but they do have all of these...
So here are my top things that your blog must have
1. About Page
There are all sorts of About Pages out there, and if you search on it there are many different tips and ideas for what to have on yours
Whatever blogging platform you use, adding an About Me Page is easy, quick and simple and will do everything to grow your blog.
I like a long-ish About Page, I am inherently nosy and I like to know a bit more about the person but at the least you should have on it your name and where you are located. I also think a photo is good too...over the last year or so I think this has become more important in blogging - if you are hesitant about that as I was, you can try using sunglasses or a behind shot until you get comfortable.
There is nothing worse than stumbling upon a new blog and going to find out more to only be faced with a piddly little one liner About Me Page...well there is something worse, not having one at all!
2. Contact Page
The chances are someone, somewhere will want to contact you and you will be surprised what lands in your inbox once you put yourself out there on the world wide web with a blog.
Many bloggers also use this page to include details for PR's/brands that may want to contact them and some bloggers put their stats on there too.
A short, to the point and simple Contact Page works really well...whenever I have wanted to contact another blogger I am often very busy and have limited time so I don't want to hang around sifting through information looking for an email address, so concise and clear ...
G'day lovely Beach Cottage lovelies.
So, yeah, so on a roll people, so on a roll.
I feel kinda home accessory wired right now.
I am always telling people, if anyone ever listens, that blogging is all about passion, not that sort of passion, but about passion that makes one tick.
Things like this make me tick tick boom.
I love finding things that suit my budget and let me treat my home but look amazing too.
So without further adieu I introduce you, ladies of the beach, to the blue vintage glasses that I have been stroking for about a week or two now...
These glasses are from a little boutique I sometimes happen upon, this boutique sells also pet accessories, carpet cleaner, bras and compost...it's quite unique though.
And, thanks to my friend Marnie (she blogs over here, go take a look at her praying position, interesting), who just so happens to be one day having me over for a lil' Greek dinner, has let me in on the fact that we call Kmart....The KMart...with an accent ....as in 'I love The KMart'...just like her MIL does. Oh yeah. Love that.
So I have had my eye on reproduction vintage glass blue wine glasses and being trying to find real true vintage blue glasses for like ever.
Oh yes I have spied them in Frenchy boutiques, I have lusted after them in stores that I shouldn't even enter and I have put them back pretty quickly in those shops with the hand-written price tags. C'mon, you know the ones.
And, though all of the above have tempted me, muchly, really, even with my wardrobe stashing skills I just thought that, actually, I'd rather be saving that casherooni for our next trip overseas..
Hello The KMart.
Tick Tick Boom
Vintage style blue wine glasses.
Do not come to my old place and think you might pick up one of these and smile with pleasure at their handblown quality, their weight, and be secretly jealous that my wine glasses cost more than your car...friend, that would not happen...these do not feel like that...indeed these in a funny way reminded me of my baby girl, she was a tiny little thing, with stick legs, the tinsssssssiest ankles and wrists you ever did see, she slept sideways in her cot wedged in between rolled up blankets and would only settle attached to Mr Beach Cottage or I or a (dirty) pj top of mine scrunched up under her nose...the first few times I picked her up to cuddle, being used to Honeymoon Baby who weighed in at 9lbs at birth and has never really stopped growing, I nearly threw her little bird-cum-rat down covered body over my shoulder.
These glasses are like that...be careful or you might lose your wine down the front of your shirt.
But oh baby, we are not talking picking up here, we are not talking quality, we are not talking house accessory snobbery.
Beach Cottage ladies, we are talking aesthetics.
And this is what I need in my cottage.
Blue vintage style glass, paired with coastal / nautical / beach stuff on my deck.
It's The KMart.
Tune in tomorrow, tomorrow, I have more budget foofing for your home, or maybe it will be the dress that wraps me up in supermarket-chic and makes me feel like me again.
Good Day to you my friends, wanna come hang out on my deck, talk house accessories, The KMart and drink some wine from blue glasses?
Sarah

What a fantastic giveaway! My everyday is dark jeans and a cute but comfy top. I do love my UGGs during the winter and any cute little heel in the summer.
My everyday “uniform” is sweatpants, a t-shirt, and flip-flops. Hey, you’re only in college once!
I love casual Friday when I can wear my jeans, but on the other days I have the basic work uniform…slacks and a cardigan (boring, I know…but easy to put together in the morning).
My daily “uniform” has dramatically changed in the last year. I am now a stay at home mom, so I am lucky if my uniform is NOT pajama pants and a tshirt. It usually is… at least until mid day. Other than that, you can find me in jeans and a tshirt. Anything machine washable goes these days! (this is a big change from before! But a good one in many ways)
What a wonderful giveaway! My usual uniform…hmmm…I really don’t have a usual one. I tend to switch things up fairly often, but I do have to admit that I wear different clothes at home than I would wear when leaving the house. I am a stay at home mommy, so comfort is key while at home.
I am so in love with Lisa’s designs…very classic and timeless pieces (and great for gift giving too)!
My everyday wear consists mostly of yoga pants and a t-shirt! I am a stay-at-homer so it’s all about comfy for me. But I do enjoy my opportunities to get dressed up cute and go out on the town!
love this giveaway!
my daily uniform includes khaki shorts and a solid colored shirt (not big on patterns). leather flip flips and a ponytail and I’m good to go!
I work in a mid-size law firm, so our dress code is not quite as stodgy as other firms. My daily uniform usually consists of dress pants, blouse, and 3 inch heels. A girl’s gotta keep her style!
My work “uniform” is black pants, flats and any brightly colored top I can get my hands on. I have an obsession with big earrings, so I use them to dress the outfit up a bit
This is a lovely giveaway. My usual uniform is t-shirts with jeans for home, or khakis for work.
I am definetly a cozy dresser. I have been trying to amp up the Mommy jeans look by adding leggings and cotton dresses into my wardrobe. But my ultimate outfit is jammies and no bra!!!
I love her stuff! I throw my name in the hat for every one of her giveaways. So far no luck:-(
My uniform would normally be my pj’s till I get a shower or till my husband gets ready to come home. What can I say?
My every day attire is either all black when I am working as a makeup artist or jeans and a comfy cute top when I am a nanny
I love Lisa Leonard’s jewelry! My usual uniform for work is nice jeans or pants and shirt. Nothing too fancy.
