Ginspiration: The Ginposters

Ginspiration: The Ginposters

So, it's been almost a whole year since I wrote a Ginspiration post. For good reason of course - my love for all things juniper had to take a backseat while I grew a little human. I loved being pregnant, I really did, but boy oh boy, did I miss my gin! And to make [...]

Feeling a bit guilty for not making the most of the sunshine and getting outside but we all need a duvet day sometimes. Contrary to appearances I did actually get dressed today, these trousers are just as comfy as PJs so you could be forgiven for thinking I didn’t bother... still managed to save one last pair of shoes for the month though, my ASOS ‘Leona’ flats! That makes 52/181 and another 28 saves for the month! Still managing to stay well ahead of my 15 per month quota!
I was chatting with @preloved_blnode about our colour coordinated shoe collections recently and realised I tend to neglect my ‘neutrals’ for pictures of their more bright and bold counterparts, and that’s a shame, because it means a lot of my sparkliest beauties don’t get a look in, so just for balance, here’s a little peek at some of my non rainbow coloured but equally lovely shoes!
Another blissful day of sunshine! I do t know about you but it’s lifted my spirits no end, I always find life’s stresses far more easy to deal with when the sun is shining. The ice cream van being back also helped of course... Some warm, dry weather had also breathed some new life into the shoe challenge as I’ve been able to wear something other than boots! Save 51/181 isn’t particularly exciting, just a beaten up old pair of gold flats, but a firm fixture of my spring/summer wardrobe. Gold is such a great neutral! These are about to give up on me any minute though so I’m on the lookout for replacements!
Woohoo, the ice cream van is back in the village this afternoon! It’s quickly becoming the highlight of our week! What are you looking forward to this weekend?
Oh, hello Spring! A full day of warmth and sunshine, to what do we owe this pleasure?? I can’t quite believe I’m wearing bare legs and my beloved leather jacket! I spotted this dress way back when shops first opened in the summer in TK Maxx. I resisted because I had not long started my attempt at not buying new, but it was one of those that haunted my thoughts. Inspired by the spring like weather I had a quick look on eBay this week for the first time in yonks and what do you know, there it was! Still with the tags on and a mere £2.99. So now I have my dress AND can be smug about resisting temptation the first time! I really want to pair this with some pastel coloured heels but we have an outdoor play date this afternoon, so shoe save 50/181 are these polka dot trainers, and the last pair of them to save to boot! Happy Friday everyone, hope you’re getting to enjoy some sun too!
Had a little helper with my #fridayfeet today! He wasn’t in my original vision but he insisted on sitting in my lap while I was taking the photos and turns out his Dad had picked out amazingly appropriate PJs last night so we went with it! See my stories for a behind the scenes exclusive 😂 These were a little treat for my birthday - I think they might be the happiest shoes that ever existed! ROLL ON SUMMER!!
