Autumnal Orange

So I told you that I was going to try and buy more practical items ready for winter, well behold practical boots and a cotton dress! That's good right? Both via eBay. The dress is a very vibrant orange which isn't normally a colour I would choose, but I loved the brocade detail. The boots are so comfy they make me feel spectacularly witchy, have any of you been watching American Horror Story? I am so excited about the coven series, I have only seen the first series!

 Today has been so blustery in our parts of the woods, so we are having a day of floor sanding and Halloween decorating. It seems that it was in vogue back in the day to have a large piece of carpet and varnish the edge of the floor, so the middle of our floor looks great in the front room, but the edges not so much as the varnish is like treacle, akin to treacle it is impossible to remove although I have not licked the floor to see if it tastes like it, yet. So eager to get the house back together so much to do so little time.

Trying to look seductive amongst the flowers ahh yeah.

I dress for the image dahling

 Howdy there, how are you on this freezing evening? I wanted to share with you my fabulously wafty trousers, it's so hard to find decent high waisted trousers but found this pair on eBay originally from H&M trend. They are a delight to wear, although my friend at work did tell me I looked like a waitress, I was trying to channel Marlene or Vivien but whatever I sang the Human League for the rest of the day.  

Hope you're excited for the Easter break, I have my niece and sister staying over so I will be knackered! 

Dusty Pink Sofa and Flowers

So I am dressing like it's Spring, on Saturday I purchased this fabulously flowery Laura Ashley 1980's skirt, it has buttons and pockets, win win and it was £4.50. 

We also bought the rest of our 'necessary' furniture, the pièce de résistance you may have already seen if you follow me on instagram, a dusty pink antique sofa I found it on eBay and put in a best offer, then realised the location of the seller's warehouse wasn't far away. So we drove down on Sunday and ended up buying two wardrobes, two bedside cabinets and a bookcase as well as the sofa for bargain price! This time next week is the big move, I can barely concentrate, I am excited and a little scared of finally being an actual grown up, a grown up who has asked if it's okay if we make dens, stay up all night and watch films and turn the cellar into a cinema. I still need to finish packing! 

Four more work days to go!

February relaxing her fingers after a short winter's grip

Is mostly always covered in flowers and bedraggled clothes. The below jacket is a recent purchase from eBay, the poor sausage is a bit worse for wear, not sure what to do about the padding coming through, any ideas? I've already worn it like, but got a few raised eyebrows. 

I have moved around my dresses that I have on display, these are spring ones, because in my head I believe it should be spring already. In other news we have finally got a completion date on the house! I will tell you more about it soon. In the meantime if any of you lovelies have tips on moving, packing, planning please do advise as I am clueless and just trawling eBay looking at purty things.
