 It's been a while, so what happened since my last post??

Well, frankly loads. As aforementioned on my December posts, 2017 went down like a lead balloon. 

I recently started again at a new job (hello car mechanics life!) which I choose to start in the new year to give my self some headspace so I had a really long Christmas break which was really desperately needed. 

Didn't have the money to go anywhere special but it was nice to just do nothing if you know what I mean. Working full time and trying to do all the adultey stuff life throws at you gets too much sometimes, you just need to take a step back to get the balance right and re-adjust.

 It was actually on New Years eve morning (before I covered myself in glitter and Ashish sequin-ness from my last post) that I woke up really early and couldn't get back off to sleep. So I got up and did the usual passing the time thing of checking Facebook/Instagram/browsing for clothes online when I remembered a candle holder I liked a couple of months ago in H&M so went to see if it was online which it was.

Then I spotted the botanical bathroom stuff they have and sat there in my onesie for the next half hour pinning everything to my Home Pinterest Board and dreaming what my ideal bathroom would look like when I suddenly found myself googling local property rentals to see if I could imagine this dream bathroom scenario in any of them and I came across this cute bungalow, local to our area, 2 bedrooms, bigger kitchen then ours and v. importantly, had a back and front garden! (and yes it does have a cute bathroom that's already in green tile/marble to make it look botanical looking!)

I went and showed this dream bungalow to Rich, who had finally got up at this point, and we both knew it was exactly what we wanted in a home and had been looking for for years since we moved in our top floor flat almost a decade ago. So we swooned over pictures for the New Years Day, then the very next day, as soon as the Estate Agents was open, I arranged a viewing and decided we would go for it!

We had already got just enough savings to go for it with all our holiday saving money so hopefully later in the year we can save up again and go away. It just felt like the right time to do this with all that's gone wrong this could finally be our year, and the bungalow is just soo perfect!

I can't wait to start checking out garden things and doing little homewear hauls so look out for those coming to the blog in future if I get time.

Time is pretty short at the mo as we only have a month to get all our stuff packed and organised. Sounds like a long time bit with full time jobs you only really have the weekends to really get things underway so I will try and blog where I can : )

There won't be any pics from this spot anymore as this is where we put our bins out behind the flat haha! I get to do some new blog location hunting in our new area which is always really good fun,

Hope you have all had a good start to the New Year so far, if you know of any good homewear stores hit me up in the comments below to your favourites and I'll check them out!

The Leopard Print Coat...

Leopard Print never goes out of fashion and this season it's gonna be everywhere...

Leopard Print Coat // Primark
Brocade Shift Dress // Topshop

Managed to get hold of one of the top items on my Primark A/W hitlist from the preview earlier this year, this is one of the two coats I was desperate to get!

Being leopard print its automatically scored huggggeee style points for this season as you may have noted animal prints have been everywhere.

The newest ones to fit the shelf's are also furry/faux fur so are are warm and perfect for the sudden snap of temperature we've had just as Novembers started!

This Primark one is such good value at just £25, looks almost identical to it's Topshop rival yet a snip of the price!

Stealing some Spring style from LA with this super cute sweater from Valfre

Pink Darling Sweater // Valfre 

Vintage Style Mom Jeans // Missguided

Pink Cleated Sandals // Ebay 

Think I have found my new fave spring sweater! I haven't stopped wearing it since it arrived in the post last month, I was worried it maybe a little to thick to wear but its just right for for this time of year, not to thick but just right to cover your arms when the sun goes in. Its such a nice colour too, I am really in to pink lately, spring definitely brings out my girlier side! 

Its my first item from Valfe, founded by LA artist llse Valfre, all of the clothes and accessories are totally unique from any other brand  I have shopped from before. You can also buy prints and journals which are also cute af too!

Hakuna Matata!

Leopard Print Crop Top - Boohoo
Tropical Print Cigarette Trousers - Primark
Neon Blue Velvet Pointy Courts - H&M
Gold Circular Necklace - Freedom @ Topshop
Blue Hibiscus Hawaiian Style Flower Hair Clip - Beyonce (Mrs Carter) @ H&M

This post has kinda been waiting a while as you can see I still have my purple dip dye here, but better late than never!

This is what I'm planning to wear to The Lion King next week, something colourful and fun but as it will be evening and and I'll be coming home late, these tropical  print cigarette trousers will be a perfect option to keep covered up yet stylish! These beauties were from Primark, I remember picking these up on a sale rail last year down from £13 to £5..bargain!

The leopard print crop top is from Boohoo.com and will look great with anything high-waisted for the summer, maybe a retro style outfit with a pencil skirt...hmmm!

For an alternative tropical style look, I've added my neon blue shoes, rather than teaming up with usual flats or sandals, these court shoes take this outfit from chilling by the beach to summer night out in an instant. Neon accessories are a great idea if you want to add more zing to an outfit but don't feel brave enough to go for a full outfit of colour.
