Coral and a Polka-dot Scarf (&Link up for Passion For Fashion)

 So we are 25 days in to the #100dayshoppingban and i have to say, so far i am feeling strong and dare i say, it seems to be getting slightly easier.  Even saying that out loud feels like i'm tempting fate, but i have made it past another milestone for me..payday! Payday normally means a little treat, whether that be a new dress or bag or both, but so far nothing. And it feels pretty damn good! 75 days to go and feeling good. I think i will struggle when (if) the weather changes and spring rears it's pretty little head come March time as new season clothing and sunny days will definitely make me want to purchase a few new things, especially as spring last year i was 2 stone heavier (i can't believe how big i look here! funny how i didn't even realise at the time!!) and took the summer to loose the weight, so my spring/summer wardrobe leaves a lot to be desired. But, i'm sure i can make do till April 15th, which will be the day i go out and literally shop till i drop,hahaha!
Don't forget it's not too late to join us if you want to curb your shopping enthusiasm;)
We have our twitter group #100dayshoppingban, join Donna, Debbie,Lena, Angie and Ashlea.

 The one thing i am loving (but not buying) right now is coral and all the pretty pastel shades. With a refund/exchange for an unwanted sales item from River Island a few weeks ago, i bagged these pretty earrings, instantly updating this old outfit into the the new monochromatic-pastel trend hitting the shops right now. Plus i hear statement earrings are the new big thing? Question, for you though on that one; how do you stop them from hurting your ears? As pretty as these bad boys are, my god they are heavy!
Know what else i'm loving right now? THIS SCARF!! HOW PRETTY! and how aptly on trend. Its monochromatic polkadot goodness is just amazing. My lovely fellow shopping-ban buddy Debbie sent it to me from her fabulous shop Duck And Duffel to curb my spending, (did i mention how lovely she is?) And it was love at first site. Her shop has the most amazing hand selected pieces, i mean, how absolutely amazing is this Rabbit Sweater (actually a Hare, but Hare shmare, its all bunnies to me.)
Be sure to check out the Blog too, she has some great tutorials for some crafty goodness.

Clearing the Mind

Sorry for the radio silence around here lately folks, i feel like a juggler with lots of balls in the air right now and i am about to drop one at any time.. i am a rubbish juggler, but such is life. Plus my hubby (photographer) is away on business so no outfit photos. But i did find these lovely photos on my laptop from a couple of weeks ago. Ogmore by Sea... its such a great place. Here i love donning a silly (but warm) bobble hat (which incidentally is my sons!) and blowing the cobwebs away. I miss dry days. Its been so wet and rainy here of late i long for nice walks and sunshine.

I find there's nothing like a lovely long walk to clear the mind. 

Whats your favorite way to gain some inner peace? Do you have a favourite spot?

Ps how'd you like the new blog design? I was craving simplicity.. i have to say I'm pretty smitten with it. Hope you like it too!

 So, this winter i have been wearing lots and lots of simple jeans, sweaters and boots combos. Just something easy to throw on and be comfy in when battling the school run or running some errands. What i like about this outfit is the peculiarity of the sweater.. its holey... i love it. A adds a twist on a regular sweater, with holes and two different colour sleeves, its just my thing and adds interest to my go-to outfit choice of jeans, sweater and boots.

 It was a little however, a little drafty in the hole area, it was like my boobies weren't used to so much fresh air, haha! But that aside, i love my new sweater. I've been patiently awaiting for it to arrive from the awesome Chicnova and i was not disappointed when it arrived. think paired with my coated skinny jeans and some heels this could make a nice dinner outfit too, warm but dressy, which is what is needed when its 1 degree Celsius out.

Do you have a uniform this winter?
