Exploring my city..

So on my stroll home from work today I decided to do things a little different and take the scenic route home, shake things up by exploring something new..

Even after around 7 years living in this city,  I still find parts of it that take my breath away and help me realise just how lucky I am to live here. I think we are all very guilty at the moment of not spending time on mindfulness and taking time to slow down and take pleasure in the small things. 

It's very difficult to suddenly lose your liberties and with no end date in sight, it's time to work on finding the positives in anything we can. 

And it that means losing myself for a moment in the beauty of architecture and nature.. Then I'll take that as a win!

 

Retail therapy...

Been well over due a good shopping spree, and decided to spend my hard earned cash on some beautiful sparkly treasures..

I also went and purchased some vintage thrifted items from my fan charity shop and had a delicious baguette from Pret.

All in all it was a fabulous day!

They had some incredible things in Accessorize so I will share my highlights...

I mean is that not just THE most dreamy makeup bag? It's most certainly on my must buy list...

A classic Accessorize bag that I was drooling over...

I have about one million scarves.. And I still keep finding ones I need to add to my collection..

And finally,  I thought this was a very sweet print and a fab size to use inside a larger bag so that small things don't disappear forever inside! 😂

So.. 2020 huh?

 It's been an interesting free months since I last posted anything. This truly feels like the year that didn't happen..

Who could have predicted this when making their new year resolutions back in January?

I think during all of this, we have all really taken pleasure in the small things.. A stolen moment with a friend or family member (socially distant of course!) And taking time to be mindful and look after our own mental heath. Stepping back from busy lives and re-evaluating what we now find important and treasure. 

Sadly this isn't over, and mini lock downs are happening over the country and things need to get stricter again over the winter months.  

Stay safe everyone!
