Shoes, handbags and brooches, oh my!

Last year I wrote a post called Meet My Wardrobe, where I shared before and after shots of my wardrobe makeover by Style Space. This week, I’m inviting you to step inside my mum’s wardrobe. Get ready for leopard print, patent leather, rainbow rhinestones and sexy sequins! These are a few of her favourite things…

Jumping Up and Down in Muddy Puddles

Last weekend we took the newest member of our family, Tiger (6 weeks), up to our holiday house for the very first time. The weather was beautiful, so we put on our gumboots, rugged up and stepped outside to explore the magical wintery countryside.
