Weekend Recap

I have just waved goodbye to my boy - off on his way back to Uni - truly signalling the end of the festive season. You'd think I would be used to this after four years, but no, the tears still fall and a little piece of my heart is empty. Miss my kids being home so much.....

Last night we enjoyed drinks with good friends - really good friends - our ski group friends who we live with on numerous holidays kibbutz like! ;-0

It was very chilly, so I wrapped up warm in my purple sheepskin which went missing at the dry cleaners in November and I was so happy to get back yesterday!! 

Can't say how much I am loving these Hush Biker Jeans. They fit me so well and make me determined to keep the weight off that I lost this year. Great incentive and for that alone well worth the money.

This striped linen top I bagged in the Zara Sale and looks great with my christmas necklace from Noa Noa - simple and understated.

The details on the bikers are what makes them - zips & stitch details.

What's your favourite item of clothing at the moment?

My Word For 2015

I have never had a 'word of the year'. But this year I have. I don't make resolutions as I think January is the worst time of year to start anything new, after-all we should all be hiding from the dark, cold nights under duvets, lighting candles, eating filling seasonal stews whilst holding the remote control!!

I hope it brings me focus and clarity. Its a word that can be applied to so many different areas of life. Here is the meaning taken from good old google;

synonyms:

purify, clarify, clear, cleanse, strain, sift, filter, rarefy, distil, concentrate, process,treat;

antonyms:

adulterate

•        make minor changes so as to improve or clarify (a theory or method).

  
  

  synonyms:

  improve, perfect,  hone, temper, fine-tune, elaborate, touch up, revise, edit,

• 
  

I will come back to share how I apply 'my word' but want it to reflect how I live my life generally, be it continuing the good habits I started last year, my eating and making changes to my diet, running, spending time with the people I love or culling my wardrobe along with every drawer and cupboard in the house!

Please join me on this journey, I hope to post more often!

Repro Rockers

One of my best buys lately has been these Charles Eames Repro Rockers.

One for my daughter for her birthday (in black)and one for my Sons girlfriend for Christmas. Available in a host of colours, I got this zingy orange for 'S'.

Despite their looks they are so comfortable and their compact size is great for bedrooms or smaller homes. Warmth can be added with a sumptuous sheepskin like this one from John Lewis.....which sits on my daughters rocker. 

We surprised 'S' on Boxing Day with hers!!

I now want one myself - the only thing is, which colour to choose?
Happy Weekend!
