Instagram post 2158242013022024273_224747181 We always talk about 'insta vs reality', well this is my reality! When I am at home, I'm often in my joggers, surrounded by cats, not often dolled up like the rest of my posts. Hence why I don't post very often! πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
This is the only photo I've ever achieved of myself and my 3 furbabies, even though Bonnie is a blur! I have adopted all of mine from my work. Buddy was found very poorly wandering the streets, still an entire Tom cat - he is the most special cat I have ever owned, his character is unlike any other! Bonnie was found wounded as a kitten, she reminded me of my first hand rear! Such a pretty and sweet girly. Bud loved her instantly and they got on so well so quickly together. And then my little Bob Bean... my youngest hand rear from a week old! The others watched him grow up and have accepted him so well. I love my little cat clan ❀ .

Instagram post 2153910973285786511_224747181 It's beret season! I'm certainly looking to expand my small collection of berets, they are so versatile and easy to style! After a few years of growing my winter wardrobe, I'm pretty happy with my options for this season. I'm after more reds and orange colours - see my previous selfie for my favourite cardigan! What are your go-to colours this season? πŸπŸ‚

Instagram post 2153164967329857923_224747181 After our few days of being away, it's been nice to just chill at home and catch up on life. It's been feeling very autumnal today, but instead of showing you today's outfit of sweatpants, hoodie and fluffy socks - here is an outfit from earlier in the week. I love plaid prints, plus these boots from New Look lady year are perfect for vintage winter style! πŸ‚πŸ

Instagram post 2150264760371850904_224747181 A day of my favourite things - nautical history and The Beatles! I have fond memories of the Albert dock as a child - mainly visiting the maritime museum. It was my first time visiting The Bestles Story, much enjoyed by myself and @chefrosscook. Any other Beatles fans out there? 😊🎸🎡

Had a proper shopping spree today but the best bit has been spending time with the hubby! I can't tell you enough how we literally hardly see each other - maybe about an hour a day, if that! Looking forward to a few more days before he goes back to work. Love you @chefrosscook 😊❀

It doesn't feel like a hump day when I have the day off tomorrow. Looking forward to spending time with friends and writing a new blog post πŸ’».
P.S. after picking this dress out at @altstudiouk, I've decided I need to wear more leopard print πŸ˜πŸ†

Instagram post 2136534045138578163_224747181 After being in a bit of a funk recently, I decided to finally do something I've been meaning to do for ages... re pierce my ear!  I had this second ear piercing higher up my lobe than my 'firsts'. Sadly because of how it healed, I couldn't have it in the same spot. It is now slightly lower, which I'm trying to get used to (I preferred it higher!), but I love just having it on the one side! What do you think? πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
