She loves daffodils

She loves daffodills...keeps them on her window sill
I hope everyone has had a superb weekend full of sunshine and fun times? It's flown by pretty quickly I have to say, although they always seem to?! Well it's officially British Summer time which can only mean one thing....Long summer nights! The clocks went forward this morning, there is always always confusion in my house, not naming any names but somebody thought that they were being helpful by changing the clocks backwards last night in preparation. Hilarious today to wake up to clocks all with different times, some 2 hours behind the real time. Some will never learn;) So the good news, my summer wardrobe is definitely making an appearance, the bad news is that...well it's still rather cold.

My lazy Sunday

Consisted of me waking up at 7 or 8 or 9am, still not sure about this and spring cleaning. I've been putting off sorting through paperwork and today was the day when the sun was shining, Classic Fm was playing gorgeous Spanish tunes and I was sorting my life out. I fell asleep so early last night, something silly like 9pm. Exhausted from letting my hair down on Friday night. It's such a weight off of shoulders to make a significant dent in spring cleaning, especially when it is things that you have been putting off. It's refreshing and I have to say that it has put me in such a good mood and I am really positive for the week ahead.

Did you do anything this weekend that has put you into a positive mood?

The Alethea Armchair


I adore interior designs and can spend ages browsing magazines, websites, pinterest and shopping for pieces for the house. This week I stumbled across this stunning armchair from Debenhams, let me introduce you to the Alethea armchair in the most gorgeous red floral print (it looks like hearts from a distance!) which to me is the most prettiest armchair print I have ever ever seen. I think I am a little obsessed with it and would love love love this print on a large sofa, Debenhams please make one?
Red print 'Alethea' armchair £1800 down to £720 on the sale, I am in L.O.V.E



Mellow Yellow
Interiors and fashion, I have another obsession at the moment and it's something that I really cannot get enough of, it must be due to me craving sunshine? It's, wait for it.... yellow, yes anything and everything yellow. Well maybe within reason, not really feeling yellow eye shadow but you know what? I could have my arm twisted, that's how much I love it so right now.


  • I am currently trying to find the perfect yellow curtains, I am thinking even gold silk curtains would be fabulous. My house is full of daffodils everywhere I turn, it's the joys of spring and seriously daffodils and yellow roses make me feel like I am on top of the world. 
  • My garden is full of daffodils, it's beautiful to see a garden full of new life in spring after such a long, mild, but long British winter. The blossoms will be out within the next two weeks and I actually cannot wait. It's going to be so incredibly beautiful and I wish it could go on for ever. Short but ever so sweet.
  • I'm thinking about painting one of  my living room walls a deep rustic yellow, it will look spectacular, I believe change is good.
Lots planned for me, so little time! 
Do you get a new lease of inspiration in spring too? 

Have a fabulous start to the week xxx

H&M Stretch printed trousers...to be or not to be?

So here goes...

I always hear people raving about H&M, telling me how great a store it is and how they 'bought this gorgeous top' and 'this amazing dress' and yet every time I have graced the store with my presence I have been massively disappointed. I try to give it a go, I really do but then really why such the effort? It's definitely one of those stores that you either love or hate. I personally find it uninspiring, dull to the point where I cannot part with my money for such bad quality and well... cheap. Don't get me wrong, I love a bargain but what I do not like is tacky looking material clothes being sold for a rip off cheap price because I know around the corner is Primark and well Primark doesn't parade itself as being something that it's not. What I mean is H&M seems to be a Primark that thinks it can charge you more for what pleasure I really don't know.

Take yesterday for example, I ventured into H&M and set eyes on these delightful trousers, they looked and felt amazing on. Stretchy, flattering, sexy and stylish and amazingly only £12.99. Side zip and belt hoops, very chic. Well until I had worn them for one hour and well hello there, is that...is that a broken side zip? Yes my friends, that was a broken zip after only one hour. Well I gave them a chance and look what happened? Sadly H&M I don't think we will be seeing each other again anytime soon.
