Changing it up

I own a lot of blouses but this is one my favourites - you can always count on Zara to have some great designs and prints in store. They've become a staple and I wear them tucked into skirts and layered under jumpers and are my easy, go to outfit choices. Maxi skirts on the other hand are a little less natural to me. There was a time when I believed I was just too short for them but when I was working in HK last year, I changed my mind completely and I loved wearing chiffon and sheer maxi skirts because they kept you cool in the humidity. I still prefer wearing shorter skirts but it's nice to change it up sometimes!

The lilies we had over Chinese new year are now in full bloom. We don't have lilies very often and I forget how fragrant they are. I managed to take this photo before we cut off the stamens (they stain everything!) I find it a shame that they have to be cut off because they look a little naked without them! 

I painted the above picture very randomly on Friday night and was so amazed at the response on Instagram that I've made it into a new header. I must try and paint more often again - it's so theraputic. At one point, I really wanted to take Fine Art at university but I pursued the more Academic History of Art instead. Definitely the right decision since it's been the longest time since I've put paintbrush to paper!
