maxi
Yesterday my Mum returned home from a trip to the shops with this New Look maxi skirt for me.
It’s elasticated waist is perfect right now, and my favourite over-sized jumper was a perfect match.
I wore it this morning when I went along to my Mum’s workplace to do them a favour by spending four hours photocopying. Not glam, but it was nice to get a feel for how I’ll cope with getting back in to the workplace.
We also made a couple more additions to my bedroom
I’m thinking of dying my hair copper, when I can face having it fussed with
opinions?
Sunshine
Against all the odds, the weather today has been utterly divine. It made this morning’s outing with a friend all the more perfect; a walk along the seafront and then coffee (for her)/ tea (chai for me) followed by another wander and a gosspip.
I wanted to say thank you for the continued support and kind words. It truly means a lot, especially as things are less than perfect right now.
I didn’t realise just how much blogging helped until recently. Having somewhere that I can post outfits, and have a record for myself of how things are looking and how things have changed for the better is so useful.
Outfits are a massive source of frustration for me at the moment. I put one thing on, decide I’m not comfortable, try something else…lather, rinse, repeat.
This morning was one of those mornings and the outfit I have photographed isn’t actually what I ended up wearing.
Ah well, onwards and upwards yes?
Hopefully the sun will keep shining
(and I will come in to millions and be able to afford the entire MAC venomous villians collection).
Sunday
Sunday is:
Reading the papers, drinking coffee from my favourite Cath Kidston mug, painting my nails with Nubar peacock feathers
Wearing jeans and my favourite scrappy old t-shirt
Chilling with Pie, my Bear Factory bunny that was a “get better or I’ll kick your ass” gift from Trudi.
What does your Sunday look like?

P.S. I’ve had quite a few questions pop up in comments lately, if you want one answered, leave it in this post and I’ll do reply post in the week.
things I love right now
Today I thought I would share with you some things I am enjoying right now. I can’t believe it’s October 1st, I have no idea where the year has gone…all I can say is it’s well and truly Autumn outside; pouring rain and howling wind, just wonderful.
Nail Polish
A.K.A. my other obsession beside tights, and nowhere near as organised.
My current favourite is this Revlon one called “Tropical Temptation” (I think)
Cosy Jumpers
Just perfect for this kind of weather. This one came from store twenty one, a fairly new arrival to my little town.
Cupcakes
My love for all things cupcakes is still going strong. The lovely scrap book album was a leaving present from my wonderful, wonderful B on the unit.
Presents
Who doesn’t love them? I have been utterly spoilt in the last few months and I’m finally learning to lose the guilt around it. These lovelies are from my “Mum2” from her holiday in Florida. Peanut Butter M&Ms are a new love of mine…actually, peanut butter in general is.
Skincare
I’ve finally, at the grand old age of 23 found skincare products that work for me. My new staple is this Pink Grapefruit daily scrub. It works wonders on my skin and smells divine.
Other, un-pictured loves include
– Marmite. Some things never change. Plain old marmite on toast, Marmite cashew nuts, Marmite on a spoon…I’m not sure I’m brave enough for this though.
– Masterchef and X-factor. My guilty pleasures.
– Cuddles with Flash on the sofa. Except when he dribbles.
– Being home and able to spend as much time as I want with my family and friends.
What are YOU loving right now?
