Polka Dots

I’ve had such a lovely lazy weekend. I didn’t get out of my pyjamas until after lunch on Saturday and I spent most of Sunday curled up on the couch drinking tea and stuffing my face with biscuits while looking through my blog roll. Reading through all my favourite blogs I quickly realised that I’ve adopted aspects of those I really like and mashed them all together – I’m a little bit fashion, a little bit food, a little bit home and DIY, but I don’t really have a niche.

This got me thinking about why I started the blog in the first place as I definitely struggle with how self indulgent having it is – taking photos of myself posing in front of my garage seems so vain and explaining the concept to family and friends is always amusing. I’m well aware most are thinking ‘what’s the point?’. I started the blog to share my fashion finds, to help with the ‘where did you get that?’ and to make creative layouts in Photoshop (something I wish I could do full time) and I guess it’s become a hobby.

Given I don’t have children and can afford the time - although it is very hard to create content and take photos with a full time job – maybe self indulgent is okay. So, for now, I will continue posing in front of my garage door and who knows, maybe I’ll venture out into the street for a photo one of these days...

  1. I love your pics in front of your garage, so please don't stop!
    Those jeans are fab - wish Madewell shipped here... Maybe one day!malso love the pumps and bag - great colour!

    I sometimes ponder the indulgence of blogging. I only started recently, when I was recovering from surgery, but I enjoy the process and love the idea of having a record of my life. I figure that as long as I enjoy it, then I'll continue.

    1. Thanks Ruth! It's the process I really like too so I'm definitely going to continue. Also, Madewell are part of the J.Crew Group and should be shipping here soon. I've signed up for the notification for when they ship internationally - cannot wait!

  3. That sounds like a relaxing weekend which is what we need sometimes. Your garage door is a great backdrop. Your outfit is lovely. I'm a fan of polka dots too. Nice summery pop of colour too. We blog for many reasons but in the future it will be fun to look back at our posts I'm sure .

  5. I often think what the f-ing hell am I doing....it takes so much time and energy and there are so many people who do it better than me (I.e. YOU)
    But I think it is such a great way to connect with people and share inspiration....and you do this so so well.
    And I love your garage shots. Xx

  8. Thanks Kimberley! These shoes are my fave - I like them so much I have a new 'back-up' pair as they're such a classic shape and the heel isn't too high. Also, I've just checked out your lovely blog - great beauty tips and reviews x
