I only really love the pants which I know I’ll get as much wear out of as the leopard one, so not buying any other items in the range this time round 😅

A screen-free day, a little creativity, and lots of fun. 🎨✨ Bonus - I get some time to read 📚

Marked myself safe from all the Winter sales but I do have a few things on my wishlist 👀 I can’t and won’t buy them all, but definitely going to get the projector this month with my saved up Discovery Miles ✨

After wearing my last walking shoes into the ground, it was time for a fresh pair. These pink Skechers are coming with me on many, many steps ahead 👟✨ And after my story poll, it’s clear you guys know me well 🥰

The @tablebaymallct @skechers_sa store has a gorgeous variety of walking, running, lifestyle shoes and apparel too! Definitely check them out if you’re in need of a new pair ✨
