Who says yellow is a summer colour? When it’s this cold and frosty you need to inject bright colours into you wardrobe. These yellow jeans were a bargain in Forever 21 at the end of the summer and after a few wears I now know why, they get bigger as you wear them and end up sagging off your bum. Not a good look! I’m … Continue reading They Call Me Mellow Yellow
Indeed it did not, we had an absolute ball. What better way to say goodbye to your roaring twenties than to party like Jay Gatsby.

Of course the ‘window’ element disappeared pretty quickly when I discovered a lot of stores have sales on already, I figured prices are gonna fall in the proper sale in a few weeks so I managed to control myself. Well until I got into Primark that is, picked up a whole … Continue reading We are the Champions

Friday was very much the an end if an era. I left my job after almost seven years to move on to hopefully greener pastures. It’s a bit scary leaving what you know and love but I’m sure it’s the right decision and will all work out. The hardest part was leaving all my colleagues friends. There were tears a plenty throughout the day and … Continue reading Another Turning Point, A Fork Stuck in the Road
