For my birthday I wrote a list of things I wanted to achieve over the year. I'm now six months away from my birthday and I'm doing well in some areas but not so well in others. Create calm This was about a general feeling of unease I had about the number of things on the my to-do list. Things that had been...

It's almost payday, which means I am a step closer to getting my hands on the things that have been tempting me this month! Navy Pinafore Dress  |  Next  |  £34.00 Love this!

I completed Dry January. Not for charity, and not on purpose either. I got to the 19th January and realised I hadn't had an alcoholic drink since News Year's Eve, I'd been poorly and just hadn't felt like it. I had a cold, sore throat, cough... nothing tasted like it should. Tea tasted like dishwater, food like gravel, and wine like acid. So...

For the past year I've been enjoying having a good ole nosy at the monthly purchases of Elise with her monthly Buyer's Archive. Janet joined in too, and now I'm joining the party. I'm hoping that my purchases will be kept to a minimum this year as I'm trying out a capsule wardrobe but it'll be a good way to track what I'm...
