April Review.

Hi there,

Happy Bank Holiday Monday, it’s May Day in the UK. 

I’ve had a super weekend again, filled with family, fun, fizz and laughter. The weather played ball with warmer temperatures and some sunshine, sprinkled with a little bit of rain that the garden needed, but as soon as it arrived it was gone again. 

No plans for today. After a hectic couple of days I plan to do very little. I don’t think we’ll venture into town as it always gets so busy, especially if the weather’s fine. Have you anything exciting to do today?

It’s the first Monday of the month, so time to look back on April for the review. 

Do let me know what your favourite post was, I’ve featured a mixture of styles and admit finding it hard to pick the best. 

Welcome to the April Review. 

First post was based around a new knit I didn’t know I needed until it arrived. It was a purchase from Vinted and it’s a piece of the fashion jigsaw that completed loads of looks. Here I framed the M&S fine knit top, which has short sleeves with some old pink jeans, my recent purchase from Primark brought together with a pretty silky scarf. Head over to read all about my week at the beginning of the month here. 

Burgundy jumper & blazer - Chicandstylish Linkup

Morning all. 

Hope it’s going well for you all. 

Hasn’t the weather been funny? Just can’t seem to make its mind up. I’m going out in jeans and a jumper or jacket and having to take layers off by the afternoon and sometimes it’s the opposite, starting off in lightweight clothes and having to put a jumper on to warm up! I’m not sure I’m fond of this in-between time!

I’ve worked hard over the past few days, leaving little time to get blog posts, photos and social media sorted, you see I’ve been painting at my daughter’s house. Everything is being painted white and I’ve been doing what I can which has been quite tiring - but I love it. You start with a mist coat, which is half paint half water and I’ve been covered nearly head to foot with the stuff, it’s so sloppy (if you’ve ever done this before you’ll know what I’m talking about)! Upstairs is almost ready for carpets, so moving in date is edging nearer although I’m not sure they’ll be in before the baby arrives … in November!! I’ll keep you posted as to how that goes my friends. 

So let’s talk burgundy, are you a fan? I had a jumper a few years ago but that went to charity and because it was the only thing that matched this grey blazer I’ve hardly ever worn it! Well that changed when I came home with this skinny rib top from Sicily. 🍇

… it was a bit of a spur-of-the-moment purchase, the ones we make without giving any thought to what it would be worn with!!
