Its still the middle of Summer but the beautiful weather seems to have disappeared and been replaced with clouds and rain. As much as I'm missing the warmer weather its making me rather excited to get started on my Autumn/Winter wardrobe! Despite Summer being my favorite season weather wise, Winter is definitely my favorite when it comes to clothing. I just absolutely adore wrapping up and layering and there's just such a wider selection. So here is a few pieces take from my Winter wishlist! 

Anyone else getting excited to wrap up warm?

Double Merrick Screenprints

So I have some exciting news! At the end of September I shall be moving again. I know I've pretty much only just moved into this little house, but the new one is just so much more practical. Its right next to the playing fields and the park which will be great for Toby. The gardens much bigger, the layouts better and its currently going through a renovation. Plus its going to be cheaper for us which is always a plus! I've been looking for some new bits and pieces for the house and I stumbled across these screenprints which I absolutely adore! They're just so simple yet so stunning. They would look wonderful in thick black frames all lined along the wall in a row and I am seriously considering making the purchase. I also have a bit of a thing about things being in threes and they'd look like such a perfect little set! 

Check out Double Merricks website, they really are such beautiful prints!

Also keep an eye out for some future posts as I'm hoping to make lots of little bits for the new place as well, perhaps with a few tutorials!
I shall keep you updated.

Since the weather has been so beautiful the last few weeks or so I've been trying to make sure me and Toby make the most of it and try and do something different every single day. Of course its not always possible to be too exciting! Some days we'll just have a little camp out in Nannies garden, other days we'll just go on a little walk and take a picnic but its just nice to get out and do something. On Friday we went to the little family theme park Twinlakes and oh my did we have fun! It was a beautiful day so we really got a chance to make the most of it, even if Toby was scared of most the rides, but there was plenty more to do. We had a lovely little boat ride and walked round to see all of the animals. There is also a water park which we managed to enjoy for a good ten minutes until a giant bucket of water tipped right over our heads and Toby wasn't all too keen after that. I really do love our little days out like this and the adorable way Toby loves to tell everyone about them after. The way he describes things and puts sentences together is just the absolute cutest and I really could just listen to him for hours! We haven't been able to afford a little holiday this year but we're already saving for next summer, and until then we've got a many more little trips like this planned. I cannot wait!

Lipstick - Revlon Pink About It

Recently I've been playing it safe colourwise and have generally just been sticking to monochrome. I've gotten a little bored now and have been wanting to try something a bit different. Usually I'm not particularly a fan of yellow (I don't even think I own a single yellow item!) but I saw this picture of Solange Knowles at the Max Mara launch event and its completely changed my mind and persuaded me to give it a try! 

Teamed with these gorgeous shoes I've had my eye on for a while now and my trusty matte pink Revlon lipstick and I think I'm onto a winner!

Perfect for summer evenings as well!
