Sunday loving

The sunshine made an unexpected appearance with me this weekend so it was time for a tidy out & re-organising (to the soundtrack of Miles Davies, jazz is good to organise to I think). I love that feeling when you feel things are a bit more in order & I always discover hidden beauties that I forgot I had! I was hopefully packing away boots and fur stoles in favour of sandals & sun hats (a girl can be optimistic).

 1. I went on a summery H&M haul this week. I loved the colour of this clutch, it is honey coloured leather with a pop of bright pink on the front & on the tassel - all bags should have tassels I think. I thought this would add some summer charm to some of my dresses. It was safely organised into my clutch bag shelf.

 2. Under the bed I found my summer reading, if only they went in during some sort of osmosis process while I was sleeping. They are now on my bedside cabinet & I am hoping this daily visual will make me get through them a bit quicker.

 3. Vintage skirts - I am terrible in that if I can't see my clothes, I tend to forget about them. I uncovered these patterned beauties on the floor of my wardrobe (it is like Narnia exists in there). I will be working these into my wardrobe again over the coming weeks with a plain tee or two.

4. Dusting off the sandals. These are my favourite battered & certainly pre-loved vintage sandals. I feel like a 1940s heroine running down the street in them, they have a very wearable stacked heel. I will be teaming these with tights & my big trench coat for the coming weeks but I am holding out hope of bare legs soon (mental note to self must book pedicure first).

 5. I re-organised my dressing table (or at least my half - the joys of living with a boy), I was able to organise all my jewellery into boxes & put all my perfumes together in this vintage tray that I spied in a charity shop. I like having all my little bits & bobs out, clutter & I are life-long friends & minimalism & I are destined not to get on so well.

Has anyone else been spring cleaning & organising? I know I am getting old because the upcoming bank holiday makes me want to list all the domestic jobs we need to do & even contemplate a trip to Ikea! xxx
