It's the Little Things

Trying to find inspiration in the little things

Step by step

I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything of late.  Despite telling myself before Christmas that I had to start listening to my body and take time out, I seem to have gone the opposite way, I always have had a bad sense of direction. 

I don't really like the term workaholic so let's just say that I have trouble switching off from work, especially when my workplace is also my home.  So I'm at a point where I'm feeling tired, lost and I think I'm in need of a new direction.

Feeling very run down makes life a bit tricky so I'm going to try and take little day by day steps so I can take pleasure in things I once enjoyed.  I don't want to moan, especially when I try to keep my blog lighthearted so thank you for sticking with this slightly rambling post.

I suppose it's little bird sized steps for me!

Osman

I loved the Osman colour palette, black, white and gold with splashes of bright colours. 

Even the runway was covered in an ink like effect.

Bird Spotting at London Fashion Week

Hoping you all have a very jolly London Fashion Week!

Maybe you'll be style spotted and make Harold jealous...

Suddenly I am very happy I bought those dotty tights a couple of weeks ago...

National Doodle Day

I have my crown made of pens and pencils on...for it is National Doodle Day!

As a treat I'm sharing some childhood doodles with you, drawn lovingly in my exercise book aged 8 (note that my spelling has improved...bictwit anyone?)

National Doodle Day is for a great cause so please do take a peek at their website.

Thanks to Motilo for the mention!
