Some Time Out

If you’re a regular reader of the blog, you’ll know that I’m troubled by my back from time to time. It’s a long term issue that may have been triggered by carrying the twins to full term. About 5 years ago, this weakness in my back led to a disc hitting my sciatic nerve, which put me out of action for a few weeks.

Unfortunately, the sciatic nerve thing has happened again and I’m currently confined to my bed. The pain gradually built over the past two weeks on holidays and I probably battled on a little too much while we were away – which resulted in my back completely giving up the goat on Wednesday, en route back to Belfast. I’ve received great care since I got home and am finally on the right medication to manage the pain so I can hopefully start moving again in a few days and commence the physio & pilates necessary to get me back to full strength once more.

So for a while, I’m not going to be able to do outfit posts but the blog will be a necessary source of distraction so I will continue to share sale bargains, AW14 new ranges and inspirational outfits from some of my favourite bloggers. And I will try to show and tell the Hush order from my last post…essential as it arrived yesterday and I need to decide what’s being returned before it’s too late for a refund!

Upside/downside to bed rest is that I’ve been filling online shopping baskets like you wouldn’t believe..

Here are some of my favourite sales at the moment:

Atterley Road – serious jacket love going on & a bargain down-filled winter coat
Great Plains – where this wrap cardigan would be perfect for autumn
Boden – now at 60% off – these sandals are calling to me!
Mint Velvet - loving the knitwear & the leather
Bakujen - fantastic basics like white shirts & jersey tops
French Connection - amazing boyfriend jeans and some great coats including this grey wool one
Zara – loving these leopard sandals & this stunning bright coat

I have 7 virtual baskets going on but no checkout completed yet….let’s hope I’m up and about soon before that happens!!

Oh and to finish, I’m unfortunately unable to re-open the shop yet. It’s just not possible to fulfil orders at the moment. I will endeavour to re-open next weekend, all being well. Thank you for your patience.
