Sweater Weather Wardrobe

Not too long ago, we celebrated one my sister's birthday in the happiest place on earth. When I returned home, I was slapped by the cold. How could neighbors differ in temperature so much!! My God!! Winter is here, and it is here to stay until next year... sigh (I sigh and smile a lot :) ) ... Anyways, with a change in temperature comes a change in wardrobe! So I'm going to try to be a little creative with the clothes I have! Here are some ideas if you are interested...

If you live in the North, feel free to adjust the below for the intensity of the weather you are currently facing (I'm sorry). If you live in the South, I think these will be perfect for you!

Guess Who's Coming to the USA!?

I remember when I was 10 years old and my dad would give each of his 4 kids a budget whenever we went on holidays to the UK. Being the oldest, I used to wonder why the budget wasn't rationed properly. Meaning - 50% increase goes to me, 25% 2nd Child, 15% 3rd Child and 10/5% Last Child (although at the time, he didn't even know what money was... poor kid).

Anyways, we all got the same budget and I wasn't an external complainer, but my insides used to think.. but I need the money more than these youngins. So I would ration my budget to needs, wants and Primark Splurge! Primark was my buy everything you don't need or you need now! why ? because there is no other place like this anywhere even in the US! So for the next 2 weeks while we are in the UK, whenever we saw a Primark, I would step in and go crazy with the diminishing budget I already had. As I got older, I continued this sacred shopping tradition but I tweaked it a little, I would only buy things that "looked" expensive or were just too cheap that I couldn't let go.

I found out that Primark is coming to the USA in 6 days!  I am happy and can't wait to re-live childhood memories because my UK trips have been stop for one day and go to Lagos the next. But they only have a store in Boston.. and the prices are a bit different from what I'm used to in the UK... But they are here! And I will be visiting very soon!! Aaaand I'm hoping they will be branching to other states in the USA *cough* *cough* the east maybe ? :)

10 Illustrations to Brighten your Room!

Karoline Schnoor - Cactus 

I love illustrations, especially if they are quirky, cool, funny or really cute! I'm always telling my sisters that If I could make illustrations, I would make of them when they are acting crazy, and it would be the cutest thing ever. Unfortunately, my drawing skills aren't as advanced as of today but maybe one day I'll attempt it...Well, for now, lets admire these ones. You can purchase/admire the prints by clicking the Pink links!
