Well last week felt like it lasted 6 years didn’t it! Honestly trying to juggle two parents working from home and the new home school regime was a bit much. All on top of keeping everyone fed and keeping on top of house work and laundry as much as possible, I am one tired mama! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
By some miracle I managed to wash my hair before leaving it in plaits for 3 days before actually getting dressed in something other than PJs and I definitely felt better for it. I think the kids had forgotten what I look like with make up on! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here I’m wearing the most gorgeous Indian cotton dress which was ethically made from Dilli Grey. It was a birthday present back in December and this was its first wear. It’s really a summer dress but layered up it’s perfect and super comfortable for lockdown life. My Cath Kidston cashmere cardi was a charity shop find and my boots are sustainably made vegan leather from Will’s Vegan Store (pr product). My headband is Lila’s! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How are you managing lockdown?

I have a brand new post on the blog all about wher

Ad - this week I’ve been getting my craft on and felling all Christmassy while making lots of Christmas card for my friends and family. I used lots of lovely free fonts from @fontbundle to do the lettering. Find all the details in my latest blog post. Link in bio.

This little spot in the garden doesn’t look nearly as good as it did in the summer! Think it’s time to give it a little winter makeover. Any ideas?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wearing this dress which I bought in the summer and intend to wear all year. Going to try layering it with something to keep warm, would anyone like a blog post on styling summer dresses for winter?

Ad - PR Product. Well December has somewhat snuck up on me and I’m not in the slightest but ready for all the Birthdays and Christmas that we’ll be celebrating. But I am more than a little excited to start opening the doors on my @cathkidston advent calender! It’s full of lovely vegan friendly products and I can’t wait to give my self a little pamper every day until Christmas.

How are we all? I've been having an unintentional Insta break, but thought I'd just pop in again and say hi! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today I was wearing this lovely dress, which is very special to me because it was a gift from my gorgeous daughter. A few months ago she spent all her pocket money buying it because she thought I'd like it. How bloody sweet is that! Obviously I've barely taken it off since, because it reminds me of her. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you got any clothes that are extra special because they were gifts? I'd love to hear all about them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also how ridiculously long has my hair got this year? Definitely in need of a trim post lockdown! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
