Decorating the Tree in Global Treasures

- A Student Cycling around Oxford -

- Disneyland, Paris -

- The Leaning Tower of Pisa -

- Rowing in Canada -

- A Traditional Scottish Dancer -

-A Chinese New Year decoration from Singapore -

- Dancers from Madeira -

Our Christmas tree is decorated unlike many others. It is a family tradition to buy some form of hanging from each new country and city that we visit, a display of our travels. My Mum and Dad began the tradition 25 years ago when they spent a year going around the world and the collection has continued to grow. This year we have several new additions: a mini rickshaw from Thailand, a Henna patterned moon from India and an oriental decorated elephant from Bangkok.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, I hope you have a lovely day.

Knits to keep you Toasty

- Striped in Pink -

- Cable Knitted and Camel coloured -

- Wearing a Snood as a Skirt -

 - Stitched in Burnt Amber -

Last year I did a post on my favourite elements of winter.  One of those featured was 'chunky knits to keep you toasty'.  Knitted cardigans, knitted scarves, knitted hats; these are all pieces I couldn't survive the winter without.  The past week has required such clothing as the weather has been chilly, icy and featured several (brief) snowfalls.  Above are four of my favourite knitted articles, ranging from jumpers to cardigans to snoods, all of which I layer when temperatures take a dip.

Revisiting my Youth in a Duffel Coat

Outfit: Duffel Coat - Charity Shop (originally Marks & Spencer); Dress - Vintage

Duffel coats are an item that I either associate with the military or children's outerwear.  Over the ages of 3-7, I had several, ranging from a camel coloured one to all over green and blue tartan.   This red one I purchased in a local charity shop and I've found it to be a more vibrant alternative to my standard black, woolen coat.  Plus I love the detailing of the plush, large hood, pleating on the back and ample size pockets.


Apologies for my lack of recent posts readers.  A combination of uni work, deadlines and a ski trip has meant that my blog hasn't been a priority and has lacked in updates over the past month.  Now I'm back at home, here's hoping my posting will be more regular!

Casual in a Floral Shirt

Outfit: Shorts, Scarf (worn as a belt), Bag - Vintage; Shirt - Monsoon; Shoes - New Look

Last time I wore this shirt, here, I went for a more dressed up approach with a tulip skirt and miniature heels.  However, for a relaxed outfit for the weekend, battered vintage shorts, woolen tights and a pair of red suede shoes will keep the look casual and comfortable.

Enjoy your weekend.
