The first nice thing...

Friday, January 24, 2014
The first of my Nice Things To Do was a trip to my local cinema. I went during the week at lunchtime and I have to admit it was nice to think that everyone else was at work (sorry), it felt rather indulgent and a bit like I was bunking off! I went on my own, which is only the second time I've...

Wearing It All over again...

Wednesday, January 22, 2014
I'd been mulling over the idea of doing my Wearing it All challenge again, but I couldn't seem to make up my mind. So, in the spirit of my motto for 2014, I decided to just get on with it. I started last week and have worn almost all of my jeans already - foolish! But it has been nice to think about...

Pinspiration : DIY cloth bag painting

Sunday, January 19, 2014
I got my craft on today and made the first, of what I hope will be many, of the pins I've added to my  projects board on Pinterest. I hope to do at least one a month and today I chose to paint this cloth bag DIY. I'd normally link to the original website but it has been blocked by Pinterest because 'it...

My motto for 2014.

Tuesday, January 14, 2014
I have been pondering resolutions and goals, wishes and hopes for 2014 and I realised that a lot of them are the same as for 2013. Namely to start (and finish) the multitude of things I've been meaning to do and finish little jobs around the house. I constantly have a to-do list as long as my arm and I'm always busy but...

Shopping of 2013

Saturday, January 11, 2014
In 2012 I kept track of my clothes, shoes and accessories purchases in order to see how much I spent in a year. The total was over £1,700 and I was interested to see if I could reduce my overall spend in 2013 and take another look at how much I wear, what's never been worn and how much of it is pre-loved....

What to do with your Birchbox packaging - a festive idea

Sunday, January 05, 2014
I've been subscribed to Birchbox for about six months now and have been saving the packaging, thinking that I could find a use for it. I do this with a lot of things, which means I have a lot of stuff sat around my home waiting to become useful, and today was the day for three of my Birchbox boxes! In a flurry...

Looking back

Friday, January 03, 2014
At this time of year I always feel really nostalgic and spend a lot of time looking back over the year. I noticed that on this day last year I entered the Style Is ethical outfit competition wearing this and I thought it would be fun to recreate the outfit for today. You never know, one day I might actually wear this in...

Happy 2014!

Thursday, January 02, 2014
No NYE party is complete without a large quantity of Twiglets. Just a quick post to say Happy New Year to you all! Christmas was fun and busy. I've enjoyed catching up with your Christmas posts and reading about your resolutions and hopes for 2014. I'm still pondering mine. I've returned to reality with looming deadlines and a large workload and I know...
