I was never really happy with these photos in the original post, and not just because of the poor quality iPhone photography. Around this time last year I was really spurred into sorting out my fitness, I’d put on a bunch a weight and wasn’t happy. So much so that I bought this skirt in a size smaller as I was so determined to get myself in shape.

With winter well and truly upon us it was time for some darker nails to match the darker nights and freezing temperatures. It’s been a while since I went for a ombre effect and I thought it would be perfect style for this new ‘chameleon’ nail colour.

Autumn breeze, no falling leaves

Lots of people say Autumn is their favourite time of year and days like this I can see why. Wrapped up as the temperatures have dropped a little, but no so much that you need head to toe layers.
