Once upon a time ............

....................... in a faraway land called Blogworld, there lived a girl named Candycane.


One day Candycane was wandering through Blogworld when she stumbled upon a beautiful princess named Marie, Marie was undertaking a challenge for herself to dress as Disney Character's for a week.



Hmmmm thought Candycane to herself I think I would like to have a go at that myself ... now who could I be?
She thought and thought and then the answer struck her, with her hair as black as coal, her ruby red lips and her skin as white as snow - there was only one person she could possibly be .. so she set about planning her outfit right away.
Unfortunately for CC she came across a few evil witches on the way which delayed her outfit post ....



Should i eat the apple? thought Candycane!!





Eventually Candycane got to wear her Snow White outfit and all was right with the world once again!



Snow White had to go run some errands so needed a jacket :D




After running her Errands Snow White/Candycane was very tired and so had to have a lie down - don't worry the apple did not poison her - and all the little animals watched over her whilst she napped.
And they all lived Happily Ever After ..................
( I hope :) )



What I wore today:
Top: River Island.
Bandeau Top: New Look.
Denim Skirt: New Look.
Scarf: Primark.
Tights: Primark.

I'm a hoarder ....



As I was doing some household cleaning today I was looking at some of the items I was washing, mainly cups, bowls, plates etc and I was thinking about when I had acquired, bought them etc .. I had cups that I had when I was at uni 10 years ago .. each thing has a memory attached - a little story about where it came from, or when it was used, if something significant happened at that time in my life.



I keep everything, I'm such a hoarder, I have tons of old magazines at my mum and dad's (yes ... still) I have scraps of paper, concert tickets, hell when I was young I used to keep popcorn buckets from the cinema if I had seen a particularly good film!!!





I love being able to look at stuff and remember different aspects of my life, good memories and the bad!
I know some people whose house's are "junk" free and minimalist - I guess this will never be me - I save peoples Christmas cards and tags for heavens sake!! :D





This was what I wore to work last Thurs - sorry for the delay in posting - my schedule is all topsy turvey this week!
I have to go to the docs on Thurs this week as my stitches STILL haven't dissolved - am NOT looking forward to going!!

Hope your all having a good week so far?


What I wore:
Trousers: Pilot.
Black top: Primark.
Stripey Tee: Cherokee @ Tesco.
Vest: Unknown.
Boots: Barrett's.
