My Week According to Instagram

Nothing too exciting happened the first several days of the week.  I worked Monday through Thursday so those days didn't consist of much.  Friday I had off and spent a lovely day with my mum.

We spent the day thrifting at a few different shops.  I didn't get my usual load of bounty, but I did get a few nice pieces.  The most exciting thing is a stunning vintage 1940s coat that my mum got me for Christmas.  She wasn't going to show me at first, but she wanted to make sure it fit.  I can't wait to get it!  It's so lovely!

We had lunch at the little diner in my town that we also wanted to check out.  They had the cutest Victorian era reproduction Coca-Cola signs hanging around.  The food was so delicious too.

We ended up having to go grocery shopping then.  Crazy!  I really had to go no matter what, but it was still crazy.  We are supposed to be getting a really bad storm here in the next few days so people were going into survivor mode.  I've heard insane reports about how generators are sold out everywhere and Walmart no longer has any water!  I guess they're expecting it to be really bad.  It's rather scary...  Hopefully it won't be quite as bad as they are saying it to be.

I'm excited to have off tomorrow.  It's going to be horrible out, so it's the perfect day to lay on the couch and try to finish watching my list of Halloween movies with a cup of hot mint chocolate.  Hopefully the power stays on so I can achieve that.  And also hopefully it won't be so terrible tonight at work that they make me stay the night.  Keep your fingers crossed for me!

My Week According to Instagram

Another week passing means another week closer to Autumn.  I always love the beginning of each season.  I get excited for the clothing opportunities it brings.  I can't wait to bring out my jumpers and stockings.  For this season I really want to invest in getting some knit stockings to help me through the cooler days ahead.  I'll also be excited to start wearing gloves, which I would love to broaden my collection.

Well, that was my week.  Albeit, a bit late due to helping mum clean out a closet in her house.  A project that we thought would take a few hours took about ten or so, and I'm still not done sorting through things.  Who knew I had so much stuff stored in my old room...  How was your week?

My Week According to Instagram

So another week has passed by.  It was rather uneventful again for me.  Filled with work and working on outfit photos for the blog on my days off.  This was my weekend off so I got to take photos two days in a row.  It was nice, but it was pretty unproductive besides that.  I'm currently having a wee Doctor Who marathon whilst typing this, in preparation for the new series starting next Saturday.  Of course, I unfortunately work.  But work will be easier, knowing I have the Doctor to come home to.

1. Smudger is always so upset when I have to leave for work; he clings to my shoulder like a child.

2. Property Brothers mood- I had a dream with them in it the night before.

3. Again, Jonathan Scott was occupying my mind with his gorgeous, crooked smile.

4. Then it shifted to Keith Harkin after I bought my tickets to see Celtic Thunder.

5. & 6. Outfit photos from Wednesday.  At last wearing the 'it' colour now that the season is almost over.

7. Vintage dishes for my 1950s kitchen and Coca-Cola glasses.

8. Teaser photo from the new series of Doctor Who.  So excited!!!

9. Mmm...milk and cookies in my 'new' dishes.

10, 11, 12. Outfit photos from Saturday.  Two polka dot dresses in a row.

13. Thomas Howes from Downton Abbey.  Watched the whole first season whilst editing photos.

14, 15, 16. Outfit photos from Sunday (today).  I was afraid the rain was going to deter me.

17. Exterminate!  Dalek watercolour I made awhile ago.

How was your week?  Anything fun or interesting happen?  It's back to the Doctor for me...or rather carrying on with him ;)
