Minus....

A few weeks ago as temperatures plummeted to minus 25 degrees in Estonia, I was happy to be snuggled up inside my family home in the UK.  Though that week we too were about to have blankets of snow thrown on us but it certainly didn't hit the double minuses as it had here!

I'd returned home under sad circumstances, but the time I had to spend with my family and friends was wonderful and now that I'm back at work I'm still savouring the memories :)

I find it hard to vary my wardrobe at the moment, as it is so chilly, every morning I just end up throwing on my trusty Uggs and Topshop coat.  I'd love to embrace a more fashionista look (living in Lisbon was so easy for that!) but alas, for now the weather wins.........

Summer feelings in Winter wear...

The weather was good enough to be tempted to jump in, but certainly not warm enough to go through with it!  The sun skimming the top of the water, filled me with anticipation for the summer days, which now don't seem so far away!

I must say that I think this is the first time I've ever stood at a pool edge in my winter wardrobe!

Here is another view of the National Pantheon that we finally visited the other day.

How magnificent it looks against the blue sky, though lots of things do with a backdrop of a sky like this!

My wardrobe today was a total mish mash sandwich of labels! From Ugg to Primark to Zara to Topshop and my favourite Carreras as the cherry on the cake!

But this it totally how I live my style life...  

I think it's so important to remember that we can't all be head to toe in Chanel......and anyway in my eyes you don't need to be.  The high street offers such great clothes, that with a bit of this and a bit of that we can put our own stamp on fashion the fashion world.

So mix and match......

Raindrops keep falling on my head...

With snow falling again in Yorkshire and Lisbon pouring down with rain, neither are having the best of weather of late.  I dream of the beach and warmth again and of course my summer wardrobe!
 Hard to believe that only a few months ago I was dreaming of my winter wardrobe!

After an amazing time in England, I returned to Portugal revitalised and extremely content.  With newly tressed locks and a few new additions to my closet, I feel ready to press on with things.....

A street so close to home, yet so far.........

Dreaming of a new world.....

A few of my favourite things!

Firstly the cupcake which is here sat on top of my jewellery box was delicious!!
I love my Union Jack jewellery box (i have a bit of a thing for jewellery boxes!)  Though yesterday, whilst shopping in Haworth I finally found a cake stand!!!  It isn't actually what i had originally had in mind, but when i saw it, I knew it would work for what i wanted!  So keep posted for the photos!!

Easter is fast approaching and shops have had Easter eggs in stock for a while now!
The Cadbury's Creme Eggs have been around for as long as I can remember, but I'm sure that the older I get, the smaller the egg gets!!!!
Wispa's have also been around for years, but for now it's definitely my chocolate bar of the moment!!

I love my place in England, it's filled with childhood memories and is so homely and cosy....
It's always a treat to come here and is a great place to relax and recuperate and as you can see my bedroom is very patriotic!!!

River Island parka, which is perfect for England's drizzly weather.  My brand new Uggs (which are not perfect for England's drizzle!) and a beautiful Miu Miu bag, that I have had for years, but never dates.

Finally I've got some new ear phones which i found in Urban Outfitters (another great shop!)

Like my mission for a cake stand, for a while now I've been searching for a bird cage type thing to put my bracelets in!  I found this one this week, I just love the little bird sat on top!

So here are just a few of my favourite things!
I'm so happy that my internet and laptop behaved long enough for me to write a post!!!

Lots of love

Mission 'Casio' Accomplished!!

Yeah!!!! 

Finally i got it and I'm super, super happy!!!!!!

After much deliberation, dragging myself around shops and ogling it through the shop windows, i eventually came to the conclusion that i did 'NEED' it!

So i am now a proud owner of this gold Casio watch!

Though now i have to remind myself that i am wearing it, seeing as last night at my friend's house for dinner i made the fatal error of asking the time!!!!!

Doh, i was the only one wearing a watch!!

Oh gosh, i may have dark hair now, but i certainly fell into the 'blonde joke' category with that one!!!

My excuse is that I've never accessorized with a watch ;)

I'll get the hang of it!!!

Hahaha

I absolutely love the Pamela Love Talon Cuff, so when i found this necklace the other day in H&M, i instantly fell in love!

Have a sunny Sunday
