A very Casual Sunday

Happy Sunday ★

Sunday really is my favourite day of the week although it would be so much better if we didn't have those bad feelings, knowing Monday is tomorrow. Our Sunday was spent going on a lovely long walk with the dog followed by a coma inducing beef stew and our homemade double chocolate cake. The perfect meal to warm us up. Yesterday i had hoped that the snow would melt a little enabling us to get our car to the supermarket for food but mother nature decided to release more snow on us today. Good for my diet i suppose. The rest of the day has been spent having many snow ball fights in the garden followed by a harry potter film marathon.

My outfit that I am wearing today consists of my favourite winter essential from Animal. It is a lovely plum wool skater style dress. Really warm and appropriate for today. I brought it a few years ago in the sale for around £15. I brought the coat from Ebay but is from Florence and Fred and the bracelets and necklace are from Salt rock.

How have you been spending your sunday?

Fun in the snow. A lifestyle post…

As one of my 'blogging' new years resolutions i decided to merge my family blog with my fashion blog. I hope this is OK with you guys. I was finding writing two blogs too much and my family blog wasn't really getting enough readers to warrant all my hard work. Looking at other blogs i have seen that mixed themed blogs do quite well, so hopefully i won't lose any followers for talking motherhood. I promise though it will be mainly fashion and beauty posts but i am defiantly aiming for a post a day.

So on to today…

Thanks to my Facebook and twitter feeds i knew even before i pulled open the curtains i would be greeted with a beautiful view. Snowflakes were falling and my garden was white. I love snow days but i admit they can be a pain in the neck. But whoever you are you can't help but want to start a snowball fight or compete with your neighbours to build the best snowman. Not every part of it is fun. Walking in it to school was a challenge and we had a few near slips. Also it stops you from being able to go anywhere.  As a kid you wish for the snow to come but as a adult you grow to hate it.  

These photos were taken on our morning school run. I had promised the boys we would build a snow man when they returned but unfortunately by lunch time the snow had melted. I have heard we are expecting more snow soon so hopefully they can build their snowman then.
