Gingham Forever

So, last day of January is here, winter's still no where to be found and instead of the nice mild weather we've been having so far, rain seems to have taken permanent residence!

Aside from that and the fact that I'm working all weekend :( , these next few months are looking pretty promising with Egypt only 5 weeks away now (eeeek :)), a week at my parents, London city break and a few pampering stays at the amazing 5 star York Cedar Court in planning! :)

Really looking forward to putting January behind and concentrating on the wonderful things to come!

One of the things that get me squealing with excitement is SS14 and the fab pieces popping up in lookbooks from every high street brand and the uniquely wonderful independent labels!

I'll be talking more about that in my next few pots, but today I would like to concentrate on one of the best trends of SS14 - gingham!!! :)

Winter, where are you?!

With only 12 days left of January and the weather as nice as ever apart from a few showers here and there, I must say I am worryingly wondering where Winter is...

But I guess when in Rome.... :) which is why, even though I am bringing out my coat collection, short sleeves are still a go! :)

This pretty little tartan smock dress is one I have coveted from the moment it's been brought out, and Christmas was the perfect occasion to demand it! :)

Resolutions for an Amazing 2014

Happy New Year!!! :)

I trust everybody has had a magical Christmas and are now more than ready to take on the new year!

I loved reading through all sorts of Christmas and New Year posts from my favourite bloggers and I thought sharing my resolutions with you would be a sure way to keep track of my progress through 2014!

Even though this post is about 2014 and all my crazy plans :), I have attached some pictures from Christmas with some of my favourite presents ever! :)

I am wearing a lovely fluffy jumper, with red hearts, as the color red was as close as I could get to a Christmas jumper (maybe I'll finally give in this year, who knows! :)). I have bought this amazingly cosy jumper from one of our fabulous local shops, Smash.

The cute little deer necklace came from another lovely local shop, Plum. It is made out of ceramic and comes from the talented peeps behind And Mary.
