Project "going to the park"

I wish I could say good morning, but unfortunately, I've spent most of the day in bed!

How annoying - but I am not well, so I guess I'll have to forgive myself.

To make up for it, I am now going to stroll over to the park and enjoy some time in the sun..

That should cheer me up, right?!

I always forget something, though - God how I want a garden!!!

Make it a good one..

Home office inspo

I am such a nerd - I can look at pictures on Pinterest and spend a whole day dreaming of what my future home office will look like.

I mean.. It's important to visualise, right?!

Note to self - I WILL make it happen...

Oh well, I think it's time to put work aside until Monday morning..

Cheers to the freakin' weekend!

23 nights... and counting

I am so incredibly happy that it's Friday!

For some reason, I am absolutely exhausted and I actually feel like death.. How depressing..

To make it even worse, the bf has now left the country for this epic journey!

Well, I make it sound awesome - which is it, but he is going away for business.. 23 nights all by myself.. I am no needy person, but that is a bit too long, even for me!

So I am stuck here in the office, feeling sorry for myself, working from home..

Am I the only one obsessed with these clear organisers btw?!

LOVE them!!!

Only two more days!

I am hanging on for dear life!

Work is killing me at the moment, and I desperately need a holiday..

Cue good news! I'm going home to Norway Thursday morning, which means I only have two more days in work...

Oh happy days!

Homesick much?!

I am going to squeeze the life out of my whole family (In a good way of course)..

Word to the wise

Morning sunshines!

This as been an eventful morning:

The sun is shining, the bf is still in bed and I was bored..

So I stumbled into the office and randomly created an account on Society6

If you've never been, I suggest you head on over - it's a mecca for creative souls :)

And if you're lucky, you'll earn some money on your creativity too!

I simply jotted down some good mantras - and BAM you can get them as wall prints, phone cases and stationery cards! Click here to get free shipping until 8th June.

Have a great day everyone!

Fashion for the office - on a budget

So here we go for round two!

This week we have a classic, black pencil dress. And let's be honest - you can't go wrong there..

To add an interesting element, it's styled with pink accessories.. It's a bit outside my comfort zone, but I really like the idea of it! What do you reckon?

Dress £20 // Scarf £12 // Belt £5 // Heels £29

Make it a good one

Morning!

Hope you're feeling good and ready to take on another week..

If not, I found some words of wisdom for you:

It's up to you, but I'm going to do my best to make this a great week!

Happy thoughts and all that jazz..

DIY key holder

My love of simple, yet clever DIY ideas is endless!

I've seen something like this before, but thought I would give it a go, and here's the result!

I actually had this frame already, as I had planned to give it to my sister. The fact that it has keys on it is just a bizarre coincidence. But hey, it works, right?!

All you need is a picture frame, a small hook and somewhere to hang it on the wall - unless you of course have a table to place the frame on.. That would be my choice... If I had a table...

Hope you liked it :)

Fashion for the office - on a budget

So we all want to look good at work, right?

We sure spend enough hours there.. But am I the only one begrudging money spent on "business attire"??

Hoping I'm not, I figured I would make a weekly feature - called fashion for the office on a budget..

First up; this little number from Sainsbury's.. The dress and earrings comes in at less than £30.. throw on some black heels and a cardi if you're cold and you're good to go!

I also love how you can wear this dress now, while it's still nippy, but it'll also be perfect for spring and even summer. For spring, style it with a belt and heels in a lovely camel colour..

What an all-rounder!

Dress £22 // Earrings £6

DIY mani with a twist

I never get my nails done as I am simply too much of a control freak.

I don't like the way they file my nails and I'm never happy with the result!

For the most part, I have natural looking nails - I swear by Rimmel Stronger double duty base coat and I get lots of questions and compliments.. So as I am venturing outside my comfort zone, I thought I would show you this DIY mani..

You can use whichever colours you want, but I've opted for a nude base with a black crackle effect varnish, both from BarryM.. And I've finished it off with a coat of the base coat I mentoned - it works like a charm :)

So get your nails prepped, then apply however many coats you need of your main colour.. Then get your crackle effect varnish and apply to the tips of your nails. If you want, use some nail tape to get an even look on all your nails - I didn't have any at the time so you can easily go without...

Easy peasy, and oh so cheap!
