Lounge Around in the Coolest Tracksets

After the news we received this weekend, a lot of us will be spending a lot more time lounging around, or at least in lounge about clothing at home! And for that one would require stylish loungewear – am I right?

Nobody want’s to look like frumpty dumpty, so today I’m sharing three of my favourite matchy-matchy loungewear sets that will elevate your stay at home style.

Toasty Toes

We don’t think twice about to forking out thousands on killer heels and hot boots, yet when it comes to our most worn footwear- that being slippers, we cut corners and buy those cheap and nasty once-off’s that just end up in a landfill (another reason to cringe).

NO MORE! In today’s blog, I’m talking all things FLUFFY FOOTWEAR, focusing on great quality, locally made sheepskin slippers that are a treat for your feet!

Bedroom of Bohemian Dreams

For my bedroom, I really wanted to create a calm and peaceful sanctuary. I wanted it to have a bohemian minimalist feel with an emphasis on texture and using muted colours that work in harmony to create that calming space.

Texture plays a big part when it comes to decorating throughout my home and I love adding bits of texture, layers and patterns that come together to reflect my personal taste.

Books to cozy up to this autumn

One thing that gets me real excited for colder weather, is snuggling up with a good book and hot chocolate.

I’ve already kick started my colder weather reading with some fabulous titles, six of which I am sharing here with you today.

The hubs and I split them up so that we can bring you reviews on new books while they are still hot on the shelf, so hopefully if you’re looking for something new to get into, then I am sure you will find love in at least one of these newly released titles.

Gift Guide: Lovely Linen Luxuries

I am a wee bit obsessed with linen fabric at the moment. And guess what? I am not alone! It’s no wonder everyone loves linen, with it being such a hardy, beautiful and elegant fabric that actually looks better with age. It wears so well, it washes so well and best of all, it’s long lasting.

Giving the gift of linen this festive season is a perfect choice if you’re looking for a special gift, particularly for people who love quality, and who you may think have everything they need.

IMO, you can never have too much linen! And I don’t mean bed sheets (which half the time are anything but actual linen fabric, although those do exist, albeit at a price – but that’s another subject all together).
