It's The Little Things: The Sweetest Socks Of All


Who can resist the charms of socks with sheep on them? Not me, that's for sure. It's been a long time since I had any new, fun socks. In fact, I didn't used to wear socks very often, but now with the weather so changeable I tend to choose rain-proof shoes over ballet flats which necessitates the wearing of socks. Am I growing up and becoming more sensible? Perhaps. But these cute socks certainly don't reflect that! Sheep and giraffes to wear with my work uniform of jeans and black Vans, and a sweet, frilly coral ankle pair to wear with a skirt and heels when the weather gets a little warmer. They were all a sweet treat from my boyfriend, and I'm very happy with them! He knows me well.

Fun fact: I wore the giraffe socks for the first time last night. Well, it was raining, and it takes me half an hour to walk to work. While the rain looked inconsequential from inside, it turns out it really wasn't. It turned torrential and I got absolutely soaked, including my shoes and socks, so I spent my first ten minutes at work blow drying my new socks!

Yum Yum

 
My sister sent me a gorgeous new MAC lipstick yesterday: Candy Yum Yum! (Thank you big sis!) So I decided to give it a whirl today. Even though it's matte it didn't dry my lips out like I thought it might and it lasted really well. It is the perfect candy pink too. I might even wear it at work tonight! I usually avoid wearing lipstick at work because it's not like I have much of an opportunity to check that it's staying on properly or if it needs to be reapplied, especially on a Saturday night!  It's all I can do  to serve all of the customers as quickly as possible, and any free seconds I have are spent gulping down some Irn Bru to keep me going! But I've fallen in love with this colour, and if it comes off during the night? Who cares! Hope you're all having a lovely weekend.
