the inbetween

I love the days inbetween Christmas and New Year. Everything slows down, emphasised by the manic of Pre-Festivity organisation.
The days lend themselves perfectly to spending time with family and exploring new belongings. Yesterday was a perfect example…a quiet morning of nail painting and reading, a drive with Mum, a peaceful evening and two games of scrabble (I am yet to win a game)

This is an appalling photo, but it shows (kind of) the cardigan I got from New Look

    I’m not a big fan of the inbetween days.
    Today will be shopping day…coatstand hunting here I come!

    Enjoy the time with the parents.

    xx:)

  11. Beautiful outfit!

    Haha, a bit like you actually, just relaxing and reading and shopping a bit. Can’t wait to catch some sales too, although I did grab a few amazing bargains from H&M on the second day of Christmas. Plus I’m spending quite some time at the cinema.

  12. I love the inbetween days too. I work retail, and the store is always very busy/crazy. I love that I’m never bored at work. πŸ™‚
    Have a happy new year.

    LOVE!

  13. I braved a few of the sales (Boots and Marks and Spencer), but left once I got what I wanted! I don’t have a Cath Kidston nearby, I sooo wish I did xx

  14. I love that pad – “I WILL get some stuff done!!” haha πŸ™‚

  15. I’m thinking about doing a little shopping myself. I need a New Years dress of sorts. You’re so brave for going to IKEA.

  16. I love these days too, and I am really slowing down this week – leaving for work late and leaving work early! LOL

    xoxo

  17. I need that book!!
    Do you know where you can find it??

    Also your nail polish looks darling.
    I need to redo my nails this morning too!!!

    I’ve been letting myself be uber lazy lately haha. Sleeping in, watching a lot of movies, baking, nothing too exciting but its nice and laidback

  20. Happy Xmas, Laura!
    I’ve been getting up at 4am for the last two days, bloody jetlag so the days have been spent in a frenzy of spring cleaning and decluttering ready for our party on New Year’s Eve. xxx

  21. This is a nice week. Wish I weren’t, but I’ll be spending most of it in the office.

    I love the cardigan and I looove your nail color! I’m never very thrilled to go to Ikea either…hahaha!
