In the Sticks

Hello!

A couple of weekends ago I drove up to my parents for a visit and thought it would make an excellent photo opportunity as I don't think I've really featured where I'm from too much on my little blog.

As some of you know, I'm originally from North Yorkshire but moved to live in the city of Manchester after I finished my degree in Birmingham.

I often post bits about thrift finds in the nearby towns of Settle and Skipton but I don't think I've posted much about the tiny little hamlet I'm from- and why would I? There's nothing there!

I don't really dress up much when I'm back at home as it generally isn't appreciated by the sprinkling of farmers and village folk I bump into.

On this visit, I thought it would be a good excuse to show off my new charity shopped faux fur coat (yet another to add to the collection!) I picked up in Manchester for a very reasonable £16.

Pictured with my gorgeous Jack Russell, Molly!

I'm wearing it with my new playsuit from Motel. I've had my eye on this style for a while so was very pleased to see it crop up at half price in their sale!

The floral print on it is absolutely gorgeous. You can't see, but it also has a cool cut-out back detail.

Here's some pictures of my surroundings. I'm no photographer and it was a pretty miserable day but you'll get the idea!

Have a great week!

Love,

Sleighbells ring, are you listening?

Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope everyone had an awesome day yesterday- I certainly did so thought I'd share it.

Me and the fella had xmas dins at our flat; my first time at Christmas dinner!

Shortly after taking this, I knocked a glass of the rose cava all over the bf, cream carpet and curtain- oops!

Deffo ousted the sprouts for my version!

It turned out really well and was delish- if I do say so myself!

After our dinner we headed up to my mum's in North Yorkshire for the afternoon/evening.

Failed to take ONE family photo. Mainly just ones of my dog!

I thought I'd share my pressies with you. I was totally spoilt.

My mum got me all the floral stuff- she knows me well!

And how thoughtful is this, she wrapped my wok up with noodles, sesame oil, soy sauce and Chinese five spice!

Oh and how cute is this fox ring my boyf got me?!

Please ignore the poor, poor attempt at Christmas nail art!

Hope you're all having a chilled out Boxing Day. I've been at work today but am home now, sipping on a brew in one of my new mugs, shopping online (buying a dupe of that Zara bag) and watching Come Dine With Me.

Love,

Foxy.
