Happy hump day! It's been a while since I was last here and I thought that as the season has changed (and it finally looks like the weather has caught up), that it was time to talk about my favourite thing. Shoes!! Although I have a slight obsession with heels, this blog post will focus on what I think is essential in every woman's wardrobe. Three types of shoes I will never suggest that anyone wears is a kitten heel, thong heeled sandals and chunky trainers. Yuck, just yuck!! No one need[...]
Okay - it's officially cold and I've been in denial until earlier this week. I finally given in to switching my entire wardrobe to scarves, knitwear and over the knee boots (my fave!). I'm blaming it on the long summer that we had(thank you Jesus!!!!). As always, I have done my best to find items around the £50 mark.

However, after trawling Pintere[...]
Happy Monday!!! A different type of post today - and we are talking interiors. To fill you in, we bought our first home about 12 years ago.

It was a starter home - not in the best area - but it was what we could afford. Because we didn't have a budget for much, we largely furnished the house for free (gumtree w[...]
Hello friends! We are switching it up on the blog because it's February (which means my fast is over!) and love is in the air. With almost 2 weeks to Valentines, there is still time to find a gift for that special someone (a valentine, galentine or perhaps yourself - because you need to show some love to yourself too!!).
