Sometimes I even need to remind myself, ya know? Sometimes I even need to remind myself, ya know?

That’s it. That’s the caption 😂
I really used to buy a whole bunch of clothes the I really used to buy a whole bunch of clothes the second payday hit. Zara hated to see me coming…

But over the years, I’ve moved away from fast fashion and instead focused on building a wardrobe that fills me with joy, that gets worn, that has versatility.

Sure I still save cute outfits I see for inspiration and to show me more ways to style the clothes in my wardrobe, but it’s different now.

I don’t stare at my clothing thinking I have nothing to wear. 

I don’t stress about whether my outfit is trendy.

It’s changed how I dress because now I’m dressing for me.

I’m obsessed with this colour and once we do the finishing touches, I know this room is going to be amazing. 

The colour is @littlegreenepaintcompany in James, and I love how rich it is. 

The dining room is south facing and when the sun shines in it’s just glorious and even on a cloudy day, the colour takes on a moody tone which I also enjoy. 

Now the real question is…  to bar cart or not to bar cart?

I found the most perfect mirror to hang above the I found the most perfect mirror to hang above the mantel!

Sure we’re saving up to have the insulation redone under the floors and I’ve not ordered any skirting board yet, and the floors need sanding but sometimes it’s the little details that make the difference! 

I love the shape of the mirror and how it really lifts your eye. Eventually we’ll have shelving on either side of the chimney breast for our vinyl and our books too which will really make it look perfect!

What do you think?

Well February was quite the month! The days are ge Well February was quite the month! The days are getting longer again and signs of spring are coming. It’s been a month of growth and a month of filling my cup with good company, for sure. 

Some highlights:
✨my continued obsession with Rex
✨movie dates with pals
✨THE GALENTINE’S BRUNCH
✨the sound of bubbling apple crumble
✨mornings when it’s warm (and dry) enough to have a cuppa in the garden
✨romantic evenings with cheese and wine

Roll on March!

The Garden Diaries, Episode 2: The One Where I Tac The Garden Diaries, Episode 2: The One Where I Tackle the Back Corner. 

Each month I’m trying to do one task to help transform our little garden. It was overgrown with weeds when we first moved in and so far it’s been about getting that back under control. 

Now though, I’m eager to transform it into a lovely little green space.

We have two plum trees at the back and last fall we had them cut back as they were very overgrown. Since there’s a little more room I thought it old be a nice spot for some bluebells! 

We’ll see how these grow throughout spring, but I’m cautiously optimistic!
