Festive Feelings

  We got through Christmas 2020! I for one had a lovely time, even if it was just the five of us (my mum is part of our bubble). I went for a Christmas day dip, which was bloody freezing and I only lasted a few minutes, but felt great afterwards. There was lots of drinking and playing with the kids, a gorgeous Christmas dinner, followed by some chilled time reading on the sofa. Boxing day involved more food, more booze and more playing with the kids, it was great.  During this time I looked at my phone a hell of a lot less and enjoyed the moments, savouring the little things in this Christmas that has provided so much uncertainty and definitely some changing plans. And while we did this year on a slightly smaller budget, it didn't feel any less magical with the kids who were extremely happy with their gifts, especially from Santa (one asked for a ukulele, the other a lava lamp!). I have to admit I've looked at a few of the sales, mostly to see if some of my wish-list items hav...

Things to look forward to

So with the news announced last night that many people will not get to spend Christmas with their families, the importance of seeing the positives is more prevelant than ever! While we won't have as many people over for christmas as planned, we will still make the day special for the kiddies and stick to our usual Christmas day traditions, like our Christmas day walk. May even take a dip in the sea this year! While also seeing the positives, I'm looking forward to a new chapter of things in 2021. I have some goals that I've set myself, which inlcude building on my personal styling business, while at the same time being conscious of the purchases that I'm making. No more rash buying, but carefully selecting things that I truely think will elevate my wardrobe and will be lasting pieces. So to that end here is the list of things that I will be aiming for/coveting in 2021...... Leather Trousers Well maybe not actual leather trousers, they're a bit out of my price range,...

Influencer Style

Back to the style! This week I started a little idea of picking an influencer that I like/admire/covet their clothes and picked some outfits to try and recreate with what I have in my wardrobe.                                                                   To do this I would look through their photos to find something that I liked where I had at least one item similar and would adapt it from there. I have to admit it's been fairly easy, as it takes the pressure out of picking what to wear, as I just have to find a picture that I like and wear that outfit (or as close to it as I can get). There's also some great combinations that I'm really looking forward to trying! A lot of the influencers I follow have a style that I aspire to or I think I aready have, in that way it's been easy for me...
