Reasons to be cheerful #1

Just some things that have been making me happy this week.

Skirts and Shirts

Chambray Shirt - Forever 21 // Satin Blouse - H&M // Checked Shirt - BooHoo
Striped A-line Skirt - Forever 21 // Floral Skater Skirt - Forever 21 // Denim Skater Skirt - New Look

I don't own many skirts or shirts but I'd like to start with these please

I'm looking for the perfect casual, wear-with-everything, a line skirt - any recommendations?

Resolutions. 2014

I will own up now, this post has been sitting unfinished in my drafts for a while. I wanted these to be really meaningful resolutions and I am feeling indecisive recently (stroke always). I also have a new idea for a weekly post that I will explain at the end.

I did a similar post last year and, although I can't say they were all particularly successful, I liked doing it and it feels good to set some targets for the year ahead. This year I am trying to make them more specific. Of course, new years is not the only time to make resolutions so I will most likely think of more as the year progresses.

Wishful Thinking: Handmade Jewellery

Small gold triangle necklace / Rainbow quartz necklace / Citrine bracelet / Rose gold infinity ring / Quartz crystal point pendant / Mint and leather bracelet / Amethyst nugget necklace

Jewellery isn't something I buy very often but I think it may be time to treat myself to one of these gorgeous pieces - I love the idea of having handmade jewellery, definitely makes it seem more special. These designers and makers are so talented!

I would love to discover more handmade jewelry - are there any shops (etsy or otherwise) that you would recommend?

New Year, New Start

Ok, so it's the 11th January and I am (as usual) a little late on the bandwagon but what a better way to start the year than with some nice clothes - I'm thinking clean lines, stripes, casual yet put together, groomed, basically what I dream I can one day be. In reality I'm far too messy and clumsy for any of this. I need reminding not to buy anything white.

Maybe some would call this look boring? Well I like it.

What are you looking forward to for the new year?
