Beads, chiffon & daisy chains.

Just thought i'd blog a quick outfit post from the other night! I went out to a friends 'moving to a new flat' party and seeing as it's still winter which means its wet i opted for my new Monki beaded blouse and chiffon daisy print shorts from Primark! I thought it looked dressy enough for a night out but i'm kept warm by covering up. I bought the shirt when i went to London over the Christmas holidays, i've been looking for a smart blouse that had an interesting collar because i wear so many jumpers over shirts so the collar is the only detail you can see. I love the chiffon shorts and can't believe how good the print quality and fit is, the best thing is, they cost £5! Amazing! 

Hope you enjoyed my tiny little outfit post back and i'd love to hear how you would style the shirt and shorts with different things.

Love Madison

“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”

The weather has been so freakin' wonderful lately! Spring is finally here! This makes me so happy its unbelievable! I have put together a little outfit that would show my appreciation of what can only be described, as a miracle. It's all clothes that I've had hidden away. This winter has lasted five months so they've just been gathering dust. It feels so nice to not have to layer and wear a coat just to keep warm.

Soon i'll be out riding Daisy (below) in no time! I love this time of year, everything is so fresh and it's the best time for clothing, warm enough to wear a skirt with no tights (YAY) but not too hot to miss out wearing a nice knitted cardi! There are some truly beautiful parks around Leicester that I'll be riding to, one of them even has a small lake with pedalo's.

Wait Mr Postman, is that for me?

After the most horrendous day of work with a very sniffley cold indeed, i walked home with a heavy heart, all that was waiting at home for me was a tin of Heinz and bad television. My boyfriend has a week of early starts so he's staying at his. My house-mate is working nights at her bar so I wont be seeing her till next week sometime. With this all in mind i put the key in the front door and went inside. Right in front of me was a HUGE package addressed to me. As i unwrapped it, i became overwhelmed. My STUNNING friend Paige Joanna Calvert had sent me the jumper i bought from her Ebay. Not only was the jumper amazing but she had also thrown in a delicate pastel blue shirt with an embroidered collar. As if that wasn't enough, i also discovered a lovely turquoise stone skull bracelet.

I delved deeper into the parcel bag and there was a card.

 It read 'Madison' with 'SWALK' written underneath.

(For those who don't know what this means, it is 'Sealed with a loving kiss'.)

After reading her lovely little card, I noticed there was another card in the envelope, it was a print of one of her brilliant illustrations. 
One of my favourites!

It's amazing what little gestures can do to change so much about my miserable mood and my generally down-beat-ness of this week. It's a beautiful and incredibly generous thing to do for someone. I was a little overwhelmed by it all to be honest. 
  Made me all warm inside.
