Oh Happy Days

 Today here in the UK is Mothers day. I for one would like to say i sure do love my mum and am so very grateful for who she is. She is such a wonderful lady! I am one lucky girl.

 So yep... i  am loving March so far. Mothers day, time with family, my wedding anniversary coming up and possibly our new home (hopefully very soon!!) 

This was my spring has sprung new orange dress! But i think i was a lettle too much of an eager beaver with that one, its in minus figures again and seems to be staying that way for most of the week...eek! Just as i was about to pack away the winter woolies, Mother Nature surprises me again...nice one, you got me good. Now please can we have some more of that nice mild weather again? Thanks in advance... :-)

I've started browsing for some spring additions to my wardrobe, i've been perusing bag collections lately. With going to the new house and down sizing, i am determined to get rid of most of my bags and just go with 3 really good timeless bags that i can use for all occasions. This is no easy feat let me tell you as i have bags of all shapes, sizes and colours. Minimal living is HARD! But i am getting there. And as a reward for getting rid of 98% of my bags i am going to treat myself! I have been cyber stalking John Lewis for their Fossil Handbags for a while. Have you seen their bird print bags? Ahh, they are just my cup of tea, a piece i would be happy to hold on my arm for a long time me thinks.

Can you believe, just as i'm about to move away from this small town i find this second great lake and beautiful scenery.... Least we know we can come here again, its not even that far from our new house (yay!)

 Scarf & tights: Matalan

 Has Spring sprung where you are in the world?

The Cats Back

Thank goodness it's Friday.. Who's with me? Is it beer o'clock yet??
It's been a strange old week here, quite long and arduous. Neo has a terrible ear infection which has been just awful and has meant a trip to the Doc's and some medicine to get him right again. But yes, mama here is tired!
How's your week been?

So the Cats back in all her glory. I just love this kitty knit so very much.

And so is the lovely Next Biker jacket. Technically this is Biker Jacket part 4, but i am too tired (lazy) to write anything about it apart from... biker jackets with jeans.. an obvious option, but by no means not a good option!

 The spotty shirt is a new addition and it is just the perfect under garment to any top or dress. I see lots of remixes with it in its near future!

 Cat Sweater: Modcloth/Joy

Jacket: Next

Jeans: Matalan

Blouse: M&S

 So you guys, its the weekend,yay! Do you have anything planned? I'm working Saturday and then it's Mothers Day here on Sunday, which may mean for me, a lay-in, coffees and cakes with my mum, sis and kiddos and maybe a spot of shopping, yippee :-)
