The Sunday Post- Lazy Weekend

This week Chris is away in the UK so I'm on my tod for the first time since we moved to Cyprus so what better to do on the weekend? Be lazy and enjoy the sun!

Sometimes it's nice to just kick back and enjoy being at home, especially with my gorgeous pets Harry & Zara (royal names not intended) to keep me company. I'm really into reading at the moment and loving Dawn French novels. She's such a fantastic writer, I love her style and she has me in fits of laughter as well as tears! I'm also loving that the temperature has risen here so our pool is ready to use and isn't too cold! I've even added in mini ducks to the pool ^_^. So yeah that's what I've been up to this weekend, a super lazy chilled one. I think people have such fast paced lifestyles nowadays, particularly in the UK and we all need to appreciate some me time and relaxation.

What have you been up to this weekend?

The Sunday Post- how I spent my weekend

Evening all, hope you've all had a fun filled weekend!

I've been having a chilled one with my first week back in Cyprus proving to be a nice relaxing one, with a bit of wedding craft (blog post coming up soon) and some dog walking. There's a lovely little beach near to where we live and it's great to head down there for some fresh air and a doggy paddle!

Dress- thrifted (originally Primark)

Denim waistcoat- Primark

Rock sea shoes- eBay

PLEASE NOTE that those shoes are purely for the water and walking over the rocks! The hieght f fashion I know, but once I was out of the water I was back in my ballet pumps. The rock shoes are god damn hideous but practical for the daaaawg. I love this dress so much, it reminds me of seasides abroad and generally jolliness. I remember seeing it in Primark and ummed and arred about buying it. Then the next time I went in it had sold out- typical! My top tip with Primark is if you're not sure- get it anyway then decide when you get home. 

Saturday night Chris and I decided to be super adult and make a den in our living room! Armed with blankets, throws and chairs, this is our creation! Of course fairy lights were added- it's not a proper den without fairy lights ye know..

It was of course an adult den as we equipped it with supplies of wine and chocolate...yum!! Our cat decided to join us too.. We had her spayed this week hence the cone of shame!

 I would highly recommend making a den even if you are at the tender age of 25 like me. It's so much fun and makes a night in a bit more fun and silly but also romantic if you have a other half. We loved it and even put pics of it on Facebook which went down a treat! Everyone was totes jealous...

So that was our lazy lovely weekend, what did you guys get up to?

Beauty haul to come next week! Stay tuned!

How I spend my Sundays

So it's been just over two months now since my big move to Cyprus and this is how I've been spending most of my Sundays. I know this post is only a tiny bit "fashiony" but sometimes it's good just to kick back and embrace your surroundings.

Sandals- Vivienne Westwood

Dress- Thrifted

Bag- Vintage

Sunglasses- knock of Ray Bans

I've been loving sun dresses of late as they're so easy to chuck on. I went to lunch after the beach so I didn't look too scruffy, plus I put my hair into a simple fishtail braid so I didn't look too windswept either! My Viv sandals are my go-to sandals being so god damn comfy and being made of plastic they're pretty hardy! My sunnies were a knock off pair of ray bans from a tourist shop in Paphos after I broke my last pair (sob!) 

I've also been trying to get a bit creative with the old nails again but this time on my natural nails which have grown looooads since being out here. Must be the sun? I still have a shaky hand when it comes to doing anything fancy but I think a flick and a bit of glitter can look quite effective.

So like I was saying.. sometimes you need to relax and let go, enjoy what's around you and appreciate the simple things- sand in my case! I know its bloody freezing back in the UK but you wouldn't believe how much you'd miss a cold winter walk when it's warm all the time!

Hope you've all had a fab weekend.
