A few people have now pointed out that I'm not myself at the moment, that they haven't heard me upbeat in a while etc etc and it's true. Since Christmas, which I documented for you all, I've not been myself. I can't seem to grasp hold of anything. This feeling will pass I'm sure and good times will come again. My mood isn't helped by the fact that recently I've felt like such an outsider. Of pretty much everything. It's a strange thing to sit by and watch the world pass you. To read everyones social activities and yearn for your own. I'm literally torn. Recently I have felt like I want to go out but I know I more than likely won't. Acceptance of that maybe isn't the way forward though.
So I went back to basics! For a while at the start of my blogging journey this was purely my therapy of sorts. It was a place I could debut my wishes and Cinderella-will-go-to-the-ball-type-fantasies.
Tonight I'm painting the town red.
With help from...
Barry M Nail Polish, Red Wine
It's a really pretty red, I put 2 coats on but it maybe could do with 3. This will most probably be my go-to red for a while.
I donned vintage Topshop and the finest leggings from Dunnes and a fabulous choker from
The choker is out of this world gorgeous.
I know I'm repeating myself but Life's Big Canvas is beyond worth checking out. I recently purchased a special piece of jewellery from her that I seriously can't wait to show you though I'm waiting for the right outfit to come together for it!

And that's my outfit for painting the town red tonight.
Total fantasy. I'm sitting typing this up with a cup of tea in my pyjamas. Wishes are wishes though.
Smokin Sera!! ;)

DeleteI feel a little sad, reading this post. You are so glamorous and beautiful; by rights, you should be out on the town, painting it all the colours of the rainbow.
ReplyDeleteI do appreciate what it is like to feel low and anxious, so I know that what other people say doesn't have much impact... But I also hope that the feedback you get from others could be used to build your confidence so that you start to see what we see. A beautiful woman with much to offer the world. xxx
What a beautiful response to get. Thank you for such kind words xx
DeleteYou Look gorgeous Darling! I love the rings.
ReplyDeleteYou are not the only one going through it. Although not as bad I am going through a similar So I know when you are coming from. Not as satisfying getting all dressed up and no one being able to see it. xx
Miss S I do hope your situation improves greatly and fast you lovely! xx
DeleteYou look amazing here hunny, and would not look out of place in a trendy wine bar supping a cocktail.
ReplyDeleteI've often said that the best part of going out, is the getting ready. And boy, have you got ready!
Equally, part of self care is to take the time to get all dressed up, and to take care of your hair, and nails. It seems like you're making baby steps towards self care. And this might just result in baby steps in other parts of your life as well.
Much love xx
You look beautiful as always! Va Va Voom xx
ReplyDeleteI hope the good times return soon lovely and echo what the ladies before me have said!
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning, which is no surprise, but I keep returning to your hand photo...that Red Ring is GORGEOUS and the reds against your skin make you look like porcelain - double gorgeous ; D
