go for it and hope for the best!

13th November 2011
I pretty much should start with a huge apology for my rubbishness at blogging this past week, but if any of you have ever been in a long distance relationship, you’ll understand. But he’s leaving tomorrow…and no I’m certainly not happy about this but it means I’ll have a lil’ more free time on my hands, Although probably not this week as I am totally manic but never fear. Where there’s a will, there’s a way! So last week I was in DIRE need of some flat shoes as ever now and again I do need to run around without worrying about falling head over heels but I had a specific budget and shoe style in mind… I wanted black pointed suede flats with about half an inch heel….I couldn’t find any, ANYWHERE…If they were black they were patent, if they were suede they were BLUE. But I wasn’t going to take it lying down so I picked up some from new look for about £15 then headed to the haberdashery section in House of Fraser with the rule that if they couldn’t be dyed, they were going straight back but the lady ASSURED me that normal suede dye would work the same….Idiot! The shoes just soaked all the dye up leaving them patchy and transferring black dye all over my hands and feet…perfect, so I went back and she gave me black fabric dye, which right now seems to be working. The only problem was I got about 2 tubs of the stuff, which was waaay too much so it has been sat in the cupboard under the sink….UNTIL I realised I’d bought a bundle of plain t-shirts from a charity shop, that were waiting to be screwed around with in one of my draws, and seeing as I’d […]

Yes the cross is supposed to be up down!
Looks pretty good for hand painted if I do say so myself!

I also felt sad because I hadn’t done an outfit post for a while but I did manage to get a picture the other day when we went for a Starbucks mission so I thought I’d post it for u. You can see the shoes that I talked about above too. I did try to find a before picture but looks like they are sold out online, BOOOO!!

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Introducing ‘Scented Mementos’ - an enchanting limited edition collection by @jomalonelondon Each fragrance, a symphony of memories, encapsulates the essence of cherished moments. Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.
where every scent is a love letter to the past, a fragrant homage to the beauty of antiquity. #ScentsOfBritain #JoMaloneLondon Paid partnership

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
