The Little Things

Of a morning I have started to get quite the routine going.

I used to decide what I was wearing in the last 10 minute slot before I had to get out the door but this often resulted in a day where I felt...I don't know...below par. Unsatisfied with my garms and general 'look.'
Hate those days.

Now what I do is either the night before or as soon as I get up I lay out what I'm going to wear, see if it 'goes' and alter/adorn it accordingly.

Today I started with plain, old denim jeans and a leopard chiffon shirt I've had for quite a while now.

I went over to my jewellery box and pulled out the biggest gold necklace I could find, and gold hand harness. The multi ring finger is one I left on my desk at work a few days ago so popped on when I got here this morning.

I then dragged open my 'heeled' shoes container and right on top were the perfect stacks to compliment the shirt I had set out.

I'm having a somewhat grey and pastel moment with my nails and just bought the baby blue colour from Barry M yesterday so had to try it out ASAP. I really like the result although it took 4/5 coats to achieve this - it's very thin; but if you have the time, well worth it.

I also have my morning brew at home out of my favourite cowboy mug from Cath Kidston - it just makes me smile.

Here's some shots for you to peruse - which are your favourite details?

For me it's the little things that make my day.

Grey Matter

Grey. I love the colour. It's neutral. You can build it up or keep it simple. I've always admired it for that; dynamic little thing that it is.

So I was more than a little excited to see GOSH had brought out a limited edition colour in a lovely marl shade.

Groovy Grey. Couldn't be more underwhelmed by the name - so 90's it conjured up images of Spice Girls, Steps, Bewitched et al and almost, if anything, discouraged the sale. I mean c'mon 'Groovy' - are they kidding?!

Ridiculous title aside I still snapped it up. And I'm glad I did.

Three coats later (two would do, I just like to be thorough) and my nails look great. It's hard wearing too - had it on all weekend while I've been all outdoors-ey in The Lake District and not a chip. Impressed. The colour also lends itself to any jewellery one might want to pop on one's digits which is good. (Nothing worse than a nail, accessory clash, oui?)

As earlier mentioned it is a Limited Edition release so if you're anything like me and break into a jog at the sight of the shade get yours quickly - if I know anything about GOSH it's that their ability to restock is, unfortunately, non-existant (been after the same eyeliner for weeks now for 3 different outlets...no joy yet.) Available from most Superdrug stores.
