A snow post.


A tree at Bradgate park, A tree stump at Bradgate park, Toby in the tree stump, Toby standing near the tree stump, Cobweb in the snow, Our block of flats and Toby, The doc martins I only ever wear once a year when it snows, Our snowman, Holly tree.

So a long with everyone else I'm absolutely fed up of the snow, but with a three year old I'm not really left much option but to play in it. Really not a fan of this as I absolutely hate the cold, but its been so nice seeing Toby have so much fun bless him. Also my upstairs neighbours made a rather impressive snow dinosaur but I never managed to get a photo unluckily. 
I'm really hoping the snows cleared up or at least calmed down by the weekend as its my birthday and I really don't fancy doing the whole heels and snow thing again. I attempted it last year in Sheffield and it really didn't end to well!

Dream home. Dream hair.

Kate Foley from Opening Opening Ceremonys home.

I stumbled across these a couple of days ago not really knowing much about Kate Foley, or her incredible style, and absolutely fell in love! This is something along the lines of exactly how I'd imagine my dream home to look. I'm also loving the dungarees, I will most definitely be making the purchase of a pair in the very near future!

Table renovation

Ignore my messy flat and the cushions are pink NOT red!

I got this table October time (eBay, £26 bargain!) with the plan of renovating it but never found the time to do so until a few weekends ago. I am extremely pleased with the outcome as its the first time I've ever done anything like this. I even enjoyed it so much I'm planning on earning myself a little bit of extra money by buying cheap second hand furniture, doing it up and selling it on. So watch this space guys! 
It took a good two days to complete as we had to sand it all down first so the paint would take and then wait for the coats of paint to dry so we could add seconds and thirds! It isn't even completely finished yet as it hasn't been varnished but we'll ignore that little fact for now. My original plan was to chip bits of paint off once it had dried to give it that shabby chic look I'm such a fan of but in the end I couldn't bring myself to do it! I was far too pleased with my work plus I haven't ever done anything like that before and didn't want to run the risk of ruining it. It adds such a lovely little touch to the flat, it makes it feel so much more homely and so much more like I've put my own little stamp on it. Plus its such a money saver! I've already got my TV table lined up for next time!

This weeks purchases

I have made quite a lot of money over the last few months just simply selling all my old unwanted clothes on eBay. 
So the past week I have treated myself a little bit...
Nike air max 1 OG engineered mesh, I have been waiting for the release of these beauties for months now and when I received an email from Urban Industy saying they were in stock I couldn't resist!
Over sized checked shirt, I have been looking for a decent checked shirt for a while now but never seemed to find the right one. This one is literally the most perfect length ever so I can even get away with wearing it as a dress. 
Gold heart shaped earrings, I wore my last pair to death so it was about time they got replaced and you can't go wrong at only £2.99 a pair!
Metal antlers, I've been searching for something interesting to hang above my dining table, as I'm not a fan of the big white wall of space, and this seemed perfect!
Chloe perfume, after losing my last bottle on a night out I finally found time to replace it.
Purple leather notebook, I absolutely adore writing lists and I've just ran out of room in my previous list notebook so urgently needed a replacement! Its ridiculous how excited I get over pretty new notebooks . I'm beginning to grow quite a collection!
