New Year. New Outfit?

Hey there, hope everyone had a great Christmas?
Sorry for my online absence, but some much needed family time was required this week... more on that another time!

Hard to believe the New Year is nearly upon us already, I don't know about you, but I'd be doing well to tell you what day it is right now.
Where did this week go? Come to think of it, where did the year go? :-)

Anyway, in the off chance you're still deciding on your NYE outfit, I've put together a few looks below.

Whether it's a quiet meal, few drinks at home or a full-on formal affair, you can do it in style. I know which one I'll be choosing this year!

I hope you enjoy your celebrations, whatever you get up to. Do share your outfit pics if you feel like it..

Signing off for 2016...Until next time.. Happy New Year everyone!

Keeping cosy

A little outfit I put together based on this week's mood, and the Danish concept of Hygge we're seeing online lately. I've got to look into it a bit more, but so far I'm liking the idea, and they say Denmark is one of the happiest countries so it's worth some research!

This outfit includes my fave colour, which I'm sure you've picked up on by now. I'm really loving the fact that blush pink is hanging around this season. (As if I need an excuse to wear it).

I picked up a cosy knit like this in Penneys, haven't found the trainers yet but I've got pink brogues to wear in the meantime.

Oh and the coffee cup represents the Lindt hot chocolate I've yet to try.. I'll let ye all know how that goes!

What's your fave cosy winter outfit? (Or hot drink?) :-)

'Til next time,

Rehab ramblings

Positivity is a word we see a lot of these days, from inspirational rose-gold-n-marble decor, to social media quotes and images. Easier said than done you could say, to practice gratitude and positive thinking in an age where we are always striving for "more".

One thing I have noticed though, I always seem to come across it in the unlikeliest of places and from the people I least expect.
I could (ok, I do) go to work every day and moan about the traffic, pay cuts, workload and state of the public service with the best of them.
In comparison, I could (and also regularly do) come into a rehab/hospital situation and be met with the most positive environment - despite the difficult or traumatic circumstances that have led people there.
It's a strange one.

Museum of Style Icons

Well, finally I made it, after months of promising myself the time out to visit the Museum of Style Icons in Newbridge Silverware.

Not one for driving long distances due to fatigue, I tend to postpone such outings for a time when I’ve more energy. Whenever that arrives!
