LIFESTYLE // SPRING SPIRIT









Spring is here and it is wonderful. All the cherry blossoms are blooming, daffodils are everywhere and the sun is even shining, you can tell as people here are finally walking about with no coats. The past week or two have been a flourish of enjoying this good weather, celebrating my birthday and visiting some delightful art work at the local exhibitions. I spent my birthday at a local zoo with my boyfriend and a few friends, it was great to do something a little different and the animals were all so relaxed in the sunshine. I loved seeing a little tiger cub that was only born last year watching a frog in a pond in its enclosure. I hope the rest of Spring will be as colourful, fresh and bright.

Lady Luck Cream



As usual I have a whole load of work to do for Uni but needing a little break so thought I'd come do some blogging. 

Looking around the shops recently I have noticed an influx of cable knit and soft spring colours; cream, pastel pink, muted teals and cool beige. I rarely buy knits as they make me look chunky/like a Michelin man as I'm short and quite curvy but I found some lovely little sweaters in H&M with cable knit fronts but plain backs and was so chuffed! They're clearly popular as every size but S & XS were sold out. I snatched up two slightly different ones in cream with a Chapelfield (our regions big clothes shopping mall) voucher I had. 

I love the detail of these, it has a lovely nostalgic feeling, after years of wearing knitted sweaters in my childhood. I've collected some images for inspiration from Tumblr (all sources linked). A few of these look like the sweaters I have actually hehe!
