I spy with my little eye....

The Lampshade of awesome....

The tulip of rad...

The blurry beetle of nightmares...

And the watch of not being told off...

So yeah, in essence this is a non-focused blog post of rambling and things I've seen this week:

• The lampshade of awesome hangs above the formica dinning table of lush.  I bought it in Next, it was a pig to construct but works really well in the dinning room and I t'aime it.
• The tulip of rad, found in the pub of post work Tuesday drinks, quite possibly the weirdest flower I have ever seen...
• The blurry beetle of nightmares.  I'll grant you that this is not the best photo I've ever taken, I used a point and shoot and it just wouldn't play ball.  Anyway this little chap was a birthday present from my mum and dad to MozzyMr, he's been compiling a little collection of stuff trapped in resin and this fits in perfectly, his little round yellow eyes are a wee bit harrowing though.
• Finally the watch of not being told off.  For years now I've just used my phone to tell the time but when I checked it in the middle of a meeting I got 'the glare' from a colleague so I thought it was best to buy a watch.  Lovely ASOS watch.

Sorry about the complete lack of focus to this post, I've had fun taking the photos though and I like talking about rubbish so this has been fun for me!

In an attempt to make life more colourful

On New Year's eve I made a number of resolutions for the coming year, one of which was to wear more colour.  Here are my attempts so far....

Very much getting into wearing coloured tights, personally I blame Mary Portas. 

The red dress, a January sale purchase from ASOS.  It's almost a bit too short, when I wear it at work I have to be very demure when picking stuff up off the floor.

The mustard yellow jumper.  This was a Next sale purchase, I'd been toying with buying this jumper for yonks but at £30 it was much more than I would usually spend on a jumper.  But lo!  During the post Christmas, pre-New Year lull I found it in the next sale for a mere £14, happy with that.  (The maple brooch was a £1 car boot sale find, oh and I don't usually wear a stripy t-shirt underneath it.)
