Styling Up My Kitten!

I have been trying to do some style squares for my fellow instagrammers and came across a small ginger technical hitch.  At only 4 months, he is getting into everything!  I wanted to showcase my new purse from Next, so hopefully you can see past his ginger fur.





The purse caught my eye because of the animal print.  My old purse was looking a little worse for wear, but it had served me well the past couple of years.



I have transferred all my cards and loyalty vouchers and everything fits perfectly.  I also purchased a new shopping bag.  The UK introduced charges for plastic bags last October, so when I see a bag with a pretty pattern I tend to buy it to add to my collection.  This one was only £4 and the elephant print is adorable!





Last Sunday, I also took a trip over to Chester and visited the local Primark.  As you can see, I picked up a few items, including some new animal print shoes for only £3.50. 

I also stopped in the Body shop for a replacement Aloe Vera cleanser; I love the milky format of this one and it leaves my skin feeling really soft afterwards.


As I was preparing my photographs, Spartacus decided to have a furtle in my shoe collection - here he is getting in a muddle under the shoe rack!

Spring Is Coming

 Hi everyone,

As the evenings start to lighten up in the northern hemisphere, it has made me think about Spring.  This inevitably leads to thoughts about a spring wardrobe.  

I am loving the blush colourings that are being hinted at, so I put together a few items with this theme in mind.



Other things I have spotted :-

Stripes are still playing a big part this spring.

Did you buy and of the lace up pumps last summer?  You're going to get another Spring and Summer out of them.

Shoes with clumpy heels are also really big.

Denim comes in more variations, with some styles reverting back to flared and boot cuts, but other looks sticking resolutely with the skinnies.

Finally, waistbands on jeans at a comfortable level!!   (Just gave my age away there......)


Catch up with you in a couple of weeks!
