Happy New Year!

Outer Space Kids Satchel - £30 - Cath Kidston

Well folks! Long time no blog! How are you all? I trust you all enjoyed the Christmas and New Year festivities as much as I did? I recieved many a wonderful gift for Christmas, and the gorgeous new Cath Kidston bag above is just one of them... My new space themed bag (which is actually a kids bag!) is the perfect size for my mini laptop and was a present from my lovely sister.

How did you spend Christmas? My Christmas was filled with scrummy food, board games (Trivial Pursuits, card games, scrabble, and LOTS of bananagrams!) and family gatherings! We had 9 round for Christmas dinner, a boxing day buffet with Danny's family and a big New Years house party for family and friends.

I've had a fabulous year, starting my first year of teaching, and I'm incredibly excited about what 2012 will bring... I've kick started the New Year with some new spectacles - above! I've also booked mine and Danny's first proper holiday, we're off to Athens in the half term for a spot of relaxing and sight-seeing together. I cannot wait!

What are you looking forward to most in 2012?
Have you made any exciting plans?

Double Dose of Polka Dots!

Today I have decided to start a new weekly feature on my blog... The day didn't go to plan for various reasons from the moment I opened my eyes, but finding some lovely polka dot things cheered me up... So, from now on I'm going to have a Double Dose of Polka Dots every Monday to share with you all!

Firstly dose of polka dots... I was walking through the old town yesterday and came across a little shop that was having a refit and it's window displays were scattered with these delightful rolls of wallpaper. I love it! I would love to have a feature wall covered with the stuff.

Second dose of polka dots... I adore this gorgeous navy blue polka dot Kath Kidston shoulder bag! I have been lusting after a lovely Kath Kidston bag pretty much ever since my obsession with polka dots began, but I am thus far still yet to buy one! They are a little pricey for my poor student budget, but the moment I get a bit more disposable income I am going to start my Kath Kidston bag collection!

I hope this double dose of polka dots has helped cheer up your Monday! Come back next week for another dosage of dots!
