    – Lighter evenings – Day #193 – Started Fahrenheit 451 – Day #194 – Day #195 – Day #196 – Day #197 – Friday dinner – Yesterday afternoon – 
    After my lovely week off at the beginning of the month, my feet were firmly planted back into reality this week. Back to work, back to routine, which has been both good and tiring. 
    Ms Mother Nature seems to have listened to me and graced us with some proper Spring weather…which here in the UK means plenty and plenty of rain, with the ever occasional bought of sunshine. Ah well! 
    At least my creative juices have been flowing blog-wise. I have some ideas for a little TLC redesign and new posts. Sometimes it’s good to get away from the blog world to get stuff like that done so I’ve taken some time out reading my old magazines, books and Pinterest. As well as heading over to Independent Fashion Bloggers for some tips.
    Speaking of the lovely folks at IFB. Two of my posts have recently been mentioned in their weekly Links A La Mode round up posts (my Dynamic Denim and Fashion Week Show Spaces). If you’re not already on the site as a member, I’d highly recommend getting an account. The site is a brilliant little treasure trove of both tricks of the blogging trade and blogs from all corners of the Internet! Perfect for when you’re stuck in a little rut.
    And off I go…gotta finish of my review for Blogger’s Bookshelf tomorrow and taking a gander at the MTV Movie Awards coverage tonight (hello Catching Fire preview, eeek!)

    Insta Apr #1
    – Starting Camp NaNo April – More deskspace! – Les Mis exhibition with Aaron Tveit’s costume – My favourite character, Eponine’s costume – Jamie’s Italian menu typography – And what I got #nom – Mini splurge at The Gap and a new Kindle case – Alice in Wonderland prints – ‘5 Colours’ anniversary – Starbucks catch up with a friend – Barry M Gelly nails – Spring sunshine – 

    It’s been both a busy and relaxing week following on from Easter. I had some time off work and managed to get out of the house for a little bit too. One Tuesday, my family and I headed down for a day out in Portsmouth and went to have a gander at the Les Miserable exhibition at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. It’s a small exhibition but they had a good majority of the main character’s costumes, including Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Samantha Barks, Aaron Tveit and Amanda Seyfried. I have a few more photos on my Instagram if you want to see more, I wish I could’ve taken better but I didn’t get my camera out that day =(. 
    It’s also been a bit of a spend-y week, so probably no shopping for a while for me now…That being said, it means I’ve got a few little bits to review and blog about!
    Back to reality tomorrow though, having some time to catch up on myself – and sleep! – has definitely kicked me in the backside to really get stuff done.

    Insta March #5
    – Day #193 – Day #194 – Spirited Away – Day #195 – Friday afternoon drinks – new hat [Accessorize] – Payday haul – Catch 22 charity shop find – Midnight feast – The Easter Bunny came to visit! – 
    First of all Happy Easter to you all. I hope the Easter Bunny left you lots of chocolatey treats, I for one will be rejoicing the end of Lent and the fact that I can now eat cake and biscuits completely guilt free! 
    So I finished work last Wednesday and I have a lovely week off for Easter ahead of me. I’m hoping I won’t end up under the duvet most of the time and will actually get out of the house…but we’ll see lol. 
    What I am hoping to get done is to give my blog some major TLC as well as try and get ahead with posts and writing. Not to mention the start of April’s NaNoWriMo event! I’m excited to get back to writig again, especially as I’m pretty excited about the story I’ll be trying to write.
