This year I'm joining A Buyer's Archive with Elise, to keep track of my spending on clothes and accessories. I placed an ASOS order. I didn't mean to. I just sort of slipped and fell. I popped onto the site to buy a Christmas present (and I did) but instead of buying it and leaving, I had a nosy through all of the...
After posting about things I love but can't wear I decided it was time to persevere a little. If you've read my blog for a long time you'll know that I like the odd style challenge, and I figured that nailing some of these looks, that I'd previously ruled out, would further expand my capsule wardrobe possibilities. And anyway, what's the worst that...
Fifteen festive favourites was inspired by Naomi at Tattooed Mummy 1. Favourite Festive Food Marzipan. I love it and it's the only time of year I eat it, I put a double layer on our Christmas cake, and savour every last bite, and Andy's not keen so he gives me his (I married a most excellent man). 2. Favourite Reindeer Rudolf, she saved...
For my birthday Andy booked us a night away in Aldeburgh, of course we couldn't actually go on, or even near, my birthday due to harvest, so we went last week instead. He booked us into The Brudenell, in a room with sea views. When we arrived it was too dark to see the sea but we could see the white splashes of...
I had seven spaces left to fill in my 37 piece autumn capsule wardrobe. I've added a few old favourites and some items found on a recent charity shop rummage, and I think all of them will work well as capsule pieces. To start I added my first ever preloved purchase - a long Tu cardigan - from the Age Concern shop in...
I know we're only half way through autumn but so far it's been lovely. I miss summer when it ends and usually take some time to readjust to the new season, but not this year. The best bits? Rose hips This has to be pretty close to the top of the list - foraging for them, making them into syrup, and ingesting it!...
My husband has boxes and boxes of things saved from his childhood years, by his Mum rather than because of any great desire on his part to hold on to things, but I have noticed that he does have hoarder tendencies. Thankfully all of this stuff is still at his parents house, in the attic (and I dread the day it comes here...
Lactose, margarine, butter, cheese, yogurt, sugar beet, orange/lemon/lime, ethanol, and champagne. Cat and dog fleas, diesel fumes, feathers, plant pollens, house dust mites, dog hair, cat hair, lily pollen, and cut grass. These are my food and environmental allergies. How do I know this? Because I recently went to see a Natural Allergy Therapist, who performed a muscle test to ascertain these allergies....
It was #PhotoAnHour at the weekend, and although I took part on Instagram I felt like sharing my day here too, along with a few bonus photos. 9am - I woke up with plans of doing some work, and then getting stuck into some DIY, but my body had other ideas. I woke up with sinusitis - again - so my plans needed...
The idea for this post came form Kezzie, who got it from Confuzzledom, who got it from Kristen, who got it from Steph - who originally composed the questions. I like how these things spread. Also, three is my lucky number, or rather my favourite number, and that's all the reason I needed to join in. Three things I'd never give up: Tea,...
