A Springtime Walk After Work

Right now I'm sat in Mexico with my lovely husband and enjoying life to the fullest in a beautiful resort by the Caribbean Sea. But I let my thoughts wander back to good all blighty as it is a beautiful part of the world as well.

What I love most about it being spring is the long light nights. It makes it so much easier to be at work, cause I know that after work it is still hours of light that Mike and I can enjoy going for a walk, going for a picnic or even head down to Hayling Island after work.

These photos were taken a couple of weeks ago when we had all that nice weather that has been too shy to come out again lately. This place is a lovely little woods not far from where we live and it's such a nice walk as we walk through a lovely forest, across lovely meadows and little creeks. It's just picture postcard English country side.




Dress from New Look Inspire (sold out)
Shrug from Yours Clothing*(HERE)
Leggings from Sainsburys
Shoes from F&F (old)
Aliceband from eBay





This dress from New Look is the same design as the dress I'm wearing in this summer style with New Look post I did a while back. Although this dress is a size bigger than the white more summery dress in my other post, so it doesn't sit as well. I never know with New Look and their sizing lately as they have been all over the place. Unfortunately by the time I had received this dress and tried it on it was sold out in size 24, but I kept it and use it mainly for work as it's a nice dress to wear with a blazer or with a cardigan too. The shrug from Yours Clothing is very versatile and can be used with anything in case you want a bit of cover for your arms.




Hope you all are enjoying the spring. By the sound of it, the been  nice weather back in England lately while I'm on holiday in sunny and very hot Mexico. So enjoy it.

While We Wait For The Summer

It's so lovely out there now and I love all the signs of spring around me. Trees are blooming, birds are singing and collecting twigs to their nest, people come out on the streets and parks for socializing and it is very inspriring. I love spring. It is probably my favourite season. I love the smells, colours, the temperatures, the birds are singing so beautifully in the morning when I go to work, the days are longer, I can pack away heavy boots and coats and wear a dress with bare legs. Finally my favourite, I can roll down the window of the car and have my hand out the window to feel the warm, but not too warm air.... luxery!! :)
I love walking around in lighter clothes and shoes and maxi dresses is my go to in the sun. I never used to like them, but the last couple of years I have found out that shorter girls can wear them too. I'm 5'6, but it works!! I love wearing them to work as they are airy, but still smart enough for the office.

This is my favourite maxi dress. It is from New Look last year and I think I have shown it on the blog before, but it is such a great dress that it  deserve to be showed off again.



I wear this dress  all the time and when I got it down from the attic I had to wear it the day after. I guess everyone has a dress that is there go to dress and this is one of the ones I come back to all the time.

Here is a few other must have spring pieces I have on my wish list. Payday please come quickly!!



Outside our house we have these two amazing blooming trees and coming out the door to go to work in the morning is just the best this time of year. It lifts your spirits. It's all about the little things in life and spring surely makes me happy.




What season is your favourite?
