January gets a bad name if you ask me. Sure it's the month after (arguably) the best month of the year, which can feel like a bit of a come down but as a glass is always half full kinda gal I see January as the perfect time to regroup, refresh and tackle all those little things you've never quite got round to, the latter is how I spent most of my time this weekend. One thing I will say about January though is that it's a nightmare of a month to get outfit shots in - not only is it cold but the hours of sunlight are few and far between which means things have to get creative, anyone for an impromptu photo shoot on the Sunday Kez walk?

 The boyf and I are incredibly lucky that we have such beautiful countryside just a stones throw from our abode making Sunday dog walks the best, although a little mud filled so my Hunters and huge but snuggly parker are a must. The piece de resistance of my laid back attire has got to be the fluffy beanie which I set my heart on after seeing the beaut Suzie rock it in an outfit of the day post. After discovering (and weeping) that it had sold out I decided to bookmark the page and repeatedly click on it until it was a) back in stock and b) half price in the sale...what a score. This is easily the cosiest hat I've ever worn and although I get a few 'is she really wearing a fluffy hat' looks I couldn't be more pleased with it, thanks for the fash warning Suz! A close second would be my boucle shorts which I've had for an age - I love how these add interest to a simple outfit with the textural mix of berry, black and silver threads. I would normally wear these with an oversized knit (a la today) paired with my black patent brogues or lace up boots depending on how leggy I want to feel. 

 This week has been a bit of a blogging fail and I blame the bathroom - living without a shower under your roof doesn't half eat up your free time although lying in our new bath fully clothed almost makes up for it.

 What do you make of January? How do you feel about my fluffy beanie?
