The summer is a dim and distant memory now but I still wanted to share how I got on with my summer to-do list. 1. Eating I wanted to eat in a restaurant every day for seven days, be it for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. I thought that this would be a good way to celebrate my birthday but after just two...
For a while I've been keeping a tally of how many times I wear recent purchases. It's not as hard as it sounds because of my capsule wardrobes, I print out a list and keep a running tally next to each item. At the end of each capsule I tot them up and add them to a master list.
