Keeping track...

Friday, December 21, 2012
I've been keeping track of the clothes I bought during 2012 as I was interested to see how much I spent on clothes, shoes and accessories throughout the year. The total will be revealed in early 2013...

Inspiration Monday(s) : Jessica Timberlake and Jenna Dewan-Tatum

Monday, December 17, 2012
I've said this before, but I'll say it again, I love Inspiration Monday for making me mix items and wear outfits that I wouldn't normally think of putting together. I'm a little rather late on posting this first inspiration. I find it so much harder to take outfit shots when it's dark in the mornings and when I return home from work. Shots taken...

Friday Letters #8

Friday, December 14, 2012
Dear Fringe, Welcome back. I tried to live without you but it turned out that I just couldn't. I feel like me again. Dear Work, I'm worried. Really worried, why won't you just tell us ALL what's going on? Rumour, speculation and heresay are no substitute for facts - cold and hard as they may be. We're all adults here, we can handle...

Christmas comes around so quickly...

Monday, December 10, 2012
I can hardly believe that this will be my third Christmas since starting World of Joy, the second spent in our new home and the first Christmas that I will be prepared for well in advance (only a few small things left to do). Hurrah! I've mentioned before that my boyfriend is all about Christmas and since knowing him my love for the...

Monday Inspiration : Mary Kate Olsen and Monday Letters

Monday, November 26, 2012
Hello, hello! Failed at Friday's Letters last week... again. Dear Monday, We're never going to be great friends but just occasionally we seem to call a truce - like today. Dear X Factor, Chris Maloney. Seriously? Dear Boiler, Thank you for not having a terminal or expensive fault. If you could see your way to lasting just a few more years I'd really,...

Friday Letters #6

Friday, November 16, 2012
Dear Boiler. Thank you SO much for deciding to stop working in the second week of November. So considerate of you. First the oven and now this... what's next? (You know there is going to be a third). Dear Boyfriend, Pleeeease can you call the man to come and fix/replace our boiler. Cold makes me grumpy, which ultimately makes your life more difficult,...

Everybody, Everywear : Boots

Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Hurrah! The first proper outing for my new boots (wearing them around the house doesn't count) for this month's Everybody, Everywear. I kept the rest of my outfit simple to let the boots shine :) I'm on the hunt for the perfect pair of black knee high boots, something with a bit of a heel but not much, a bit casual but smart...

Inspiration Monday : Liz Hurley

Monday, November 12, 2012
I missed Friday Letters in a blur of activity, so here are some Monday Letters instead. Dear Monday, You suck. The only time I like you is when you have 'bank holiday' written in front of you. You always come around too quickly and you spoil Sunday evenings. Dear Clothes Swappers, You guys rock! You turned out on a rainy Saturday morning, full...

Product review - imPRESS nails

Thursday, November 08, 2012
When it comes to my nails I have a love/hate relationship with them. I used to bite my nails when I was younger and sometimes, just sometimes, I slip back into old habits. Needless to say my nails go from long to short, unkempt to perfectly polished and everything in between. When my nails are short, I often find myself longing for beautifully...

Monday Inspiration : Lauren Conrad

Tuesday, November 06, 2012
Monday Inspiration was Lauren Conrad wearing a fabulous slouchy jumper and boots. Perfect transitional dressing! I had no excuse to go shopping for this week's inspiration as it was the perfect opportunity to wear the oversized M&S sweater I found on my recent blogger meet up! Accesorised with my poppy and a huge scarf. See the other inspirations here.  The two other items...

Dear Friday, How nice it is to see you again. I may moan about how fast the year has gone by (November already?!!), but I will never, ever be sorry to see you. Dear Sophie, Well done for organising a photographic scavenger hunt for October. Maybe others will join in for November? The list is a good one… Dear Caroline, So, what are...
