Sunday 7 – For now, For Spring

Jan 14th, 2018 Small Talk Bean 26 min read

Hello! How are you all doing this week? For me, this week has *got* to have been one of the loooooongest weeks e.v.e.r. I don’t know what it was given the weather wasn’t super terrible, and nothing in particular happened which I can think of that made the week awful… but boy did it drag. The relief when Friday evening came round was simply enormous!…

Coats- Tried and Tested for Petites

Nov 15th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 19 min read

Hello & welcome to a cheeky mid-week blog post! So… as Autumn’s winding down and the colder winter months are pretty much upon us, I’ve been looking to add to my coat collection. Primarily a smarter mid-length, or longer line coat and so over the past few weeks, I’ve been popping into stores to try on coats & thought I’d share my findings about over all fit…

Sunday 7 – Velvet Heaven

Nov 12th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 22 min read

Hello! How’s your week been? Well, it’s actually the past two weeks, given I had a much needed weekend off… I’ve been on a very bumpy ride on the ‘parent rollercoaster’ this week, with a very, very poorly small child, but all is good now. So, from the title of this post, you’ve probably guessed I’m looking at all things velvet this week and having missed last…

Sunday 7 – The Ganni Knit Dupes

Oct 15th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 15 min read

Hello! How you all doing this week? My relief this weekend is immense: relief that I got to stay in last night and sofa snuggle with my boys, whilst snacking on Doritos & the holy trinity of dips (guacamole, salsa, sour cream’n’chive) whilst only sipping a teeny, tiny amount of full fat Coca Cola whilst watching X-factor. Perhaps not quite living the dream for some, but for…

Sunday 7 – Autumn Ankles

Sep 17th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 18 min read

Hello!  Isn’t September just flying by?! I blame the kids. Kids and their weekly routines just make each week blend into the next, with no rest-bite or break from the continuity and before you know it, it will be (whispers) C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-s! Yikes! So I’ve been feeling pretty flat this week because our builders, who were on holiday for the last week of August, and, who…

Sunday 7-My-recent-purchases

Hello!  And I know… it’s not Sunday at all… it is in fact, Tuesday. EEK! Apols for the delay, I’ve had a horrible fever which started on Sunday afternoon, when, in theory, all I needed to do was proof-read & publish this post; but the heat of the day, alongside my high temperature got the better of me I’m afraid. So… better late than never? I figured…

Sunday 7 – Skirting around…

Jun 4th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 16 min read

Welcome to another Sunday 7… and if you’re here, reading this, I’m guessing you’re trying to dip out of the hideousness of the real world and possibly looking for a spot of escapism? So, aside from this reference, I’m not going to dwell on the dreadful news we all woke up to this morning, because like you – I’m looking for a bit of a…

Random Acts of Kindness

May 10th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 12 min read

… bear with, this is fashion related I promise. Isn’t there an official Random Acts of Kindness day in February? or is it November? At the very least, there is a Foundation dedicated to the subject with numerous websites full of ideas as to what Random Act of Kindness you could carry out… you know, putting a little ‘surprise’ love note in a lunchbox for…

Sunday 7 – Cheap as Chips

May 7th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 17 min read

Hola! Hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend? It’s the start of a month, which, in theory means, wages have been paid and a time to feel ‘flush’. However, just to buck the trend… I’m feeling a little skint at the mo and as such, thought I’d do a Sunday 7 full of little cheap-as-chips pick me ups. And I do mean cheap. And by…

Bananas!

May 4th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 9 min read

…or more specifically, going slightly bananas! So this is a bit of an update/review post on the continued saga of “those topshop trousers” which have been mentioned once or twice over my last couple of posts: But more on that later. First, I fancy sharing my views on Bananas. As in the fruit… … the one you eat? Or don’t in my case. It’s a bit…
