It was quite difficult to choose, actually ...

Second Thoughts

About these trousers. Not too flattering, are they?

I quite liked the fabric and the cut seemed alright but they just didn't fit well. So I wore them once and then said good bye. I'm sure there's a pair of legs with a bottom attached somewhere that will find them absolutely adorable.

I'm definitely keeping the jacket, though!

 

Outfit details:

- brogues - Joules
- burgundy socks - home stash

Another Sunday Outfit

I wore this to church last Sunday. I love the mixing of patterns - tartan & argyle, I feel oh so British! I don't really know if proper Brits actually wear such things but never mind :) As long as I'm happy ...

I can't seem to be able to get enough of my Boden brogues. They're fabulous! I want to wear them as long as possible before we get snowed in (not any time soon, pretty please!!!).

And you get to see our front door wreath, 

isn't that a bonus? :)

Figs & Rouge

This is something I would really like to share with you - 100 % natural hand creams and lip balms from Figs & Rouge, made in the U.K. (music to my ears ...) and sold in the prettiest packages possible. I'm a big fan because nothing really beats a crazy colourful tube of lotion or potion being pulled out of one's handbag, does it :) ?

P. S.: This is definitely not a sponsored post (I sort of wish it were ...). I really really like this brand, that's all.

Wishlist Cont.

Love love love ...

... at first sight again.

I get a lot of that :)

Boxes (And It's Not Boxing Day)

Some pretty boxes from my bedroom, 

for all my bits and bobs:

The one at the front is from Pip Studio. I looove the colours, it makes me insanely happy just looking at it:)

I keep some bracelets and one of the watches in it. 

Perfect size!

The tweedie one is from a lovely Scottish lady, Aileen, and the wooden round one has been around ever since I can remember. I guess it must be family heritage. Must ask my Mum about it one day!

A Double Post (Almost)

OK, prepare yourself. You're not imagining seeing double. Double it is within this post! I couldn't decide between the pairs of photos so in the end I just didn't bother :)

Three Things

A new list, after a long time! 

- a brown bear pin, handmade by my crafty friend from secodary school (who also happens to live close by)

- my glass lizard pin, a present from a few years ago; I don't wear it often but I love looking at it :)

- my camera case and my tablet case - colours, colours, colours ... happy!

Tweed & Tartan Lass

Do I look like a Granny? I was supposed to, anyway, because this was the outfit I chose to play my little girl's Grandma in a play we performed at the local nursing home :) I added my reading glasses, to be on the safe side ...

I absolutely loved the outfit and wore it the entire day (the play was in the morning). To be honest, I didn't feel like anyone's Grandma (yet ...). 

Dear me, what am I saying, I have two babies of my own!

Keeping Warm

I came across this lovely felting wool the other day. Only one piece, I'm afraid, that's all there was. 

I really loved the colour but I didn't have any intention whatsoever to actually give felting a try ... I wanted to use it for my crochet bliss :) So I did. I came up with this:

A neck-warmer! What a clever idea!

Then I got some (more of this) felting wool in red as well - and produced another, a bit longer neck-warmer (one you can use as a fake roll-neck...). I decided it was a perfect present for a crochet-loving friend of mine :)

She liked it.

May it keep her warm!
