<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I do love a bit of design research. I could spend hours collating different imagery & ideas before homing in on particular trends, creating moodboards & design concepts. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I spent some time today reminding myself of work I have developed in previous seasons & came across this little number which I think is very apt. Owls seem to be everywhere at the moment & so I leave you with my design board from early last year. How time flies x</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Wow guys, It's certainly been a while & as I embark on a new direction with my freelancing , my blog comes in to play again. This willl again be my way of communicating new designs & trends going forward. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So why the long break I hear you ask ? Well , with 2 ickle boys to now look after & freelancing keeping me very busy on a part-time basis, I just never found the time for this little addition & as I wasn't craving new design work & opportunities, it took a little back seat. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I am </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">however planning on ditching maternity leave in a few months time & so the portfolio needs to get back upto date & the creative juices need get flowing....... so stay tuned.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> See you all soon x </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Hey guys as you can see once again I have been away from the blog for a week or so now ! It's been busy in our house hold & then this weekend I had my little boy's first birthday which was really lovely ! Anyway let's keep it short but sweet tonight ! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I am currently working on a lot of new material & do hope to show snippets on here eventually but for tonight a peek at one of my design boards ! </span></div>

Time ran away with me as usual & so instead we have a post for you today , mid-week & also known as Wonderful Wednesday x x All worked out dandy in the end ! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So , yep all invites have been given out ( bar 1 ) & so I can show you a little bit more of the finished creations that had me making a mess all over the floor at the weekend & also creating a small ladder rip in my very new jeans. boo hoo ! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Actually let's stop there as I must elaborate on that story as I am quite gutted by this occurrence & ready to complain to the high street store in question very shortly ! So I bought these pair of jeans last Thursday, ( yes that is currently less than a week ) & was so happy with my purchase as I find it hard to find trousers that tick the shorter length box but fit nicely around the bottom & that are also v comfy ! This pair of jeans where perfect ! Or so I thought ! I wore them twice & went on and on to hubby about how happy I was with them & how at last I had some jeans that I could wear with my tops instead of wearing leggings that kept showing my bum off ( un-intentionally that is )</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Now surely jeans should be quite durable and ye ok I have knobbly knees but beginning to ladder wrip at the knees after wearing them twice is C.R.A.Z.Y. talk ! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Gutted........Now I have to venture back to town pronto as I am once again missing an important staple piece from my wardrobe. I must attempt to take them back complaining that even though they do have a worn affect to the jeans , laddering in denim so soon surely is classed as faulty! I wonder how I get on ! hhhmmmmm, I just hope they do have another shorter leg option in store so I can hopefully exchange for the same ones as I did love this pair ! I will of course have to take extra care to never bend down & fold my knees again ! With a 1 year old this is unlikely ! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Opppsss, that was a random post ! So I leave you today with a quirky saying that seems quite apt tonight as I write this ! Or last night to you now reading it today x hee hee </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So it's my baby boy's first birthday coming up & with a party planned in for the end of April I thought I best find some time to develop the invites for his ickle friends !</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have had a very creative month. It's kinda like a pick and mix bag at the moment, not sure what sweet is going to come out next but liking the variety.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have been developing my style with a selection of different prints, & dipping my fingers into a few new work avenues which has been great fun but also meant I have been a bit on the busy side. Also as I have mentioned previously I am in the process of starting a little venture selling personalised prints & plan to show you more of that in the next few weeks but for now let's talk kid's invites. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">So for Spencer's birthday we are off to Windmill farm ! This is in the North-west of England & is a great place for the kids.We first went there as a family before Christmas & this inspired me to do a little choo choo collection including the below : </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">That’s the question for the Grand National Ladies day style blogger competition, where you can win 2 x VIP tickets to the special day. All you have to do is write a blog post answering this question & tweet @Aintreeinsider about it by the 26th of March. Did I mention that just by doing this you get 2 x standard ladies day tickets for free! </span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I know, I know, this doesn’t give you long but what gal can’t answer this! Eeeek, excited!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8EmyL7a4o0as1qy30cA9sHHk0JXrp-r-z-uzxk7JEpzfZd-V0ePHAxAzMQ2QAu_LccVVBEZ_fbXDNhyphenhyphenuwiWL_TQaH4bvl1xwFsZDWuZRzNo8aZ49p6TqKXubAHUo1GC6C166s_kiHhhsS/s1600/Shine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img aea="true" border="0" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8EmyL7a4o0as1qy30cA9sHHk0JXrp-r-z-uzxk7JEpzfZd-V0ePHAxAzMQ2QAu_LccVVBEZ_fbXDNhyphenhyphenuwiWL_TQaH4bvl1xwFsZDWuZRzNo8aZ49p6TqKXubAHUo1GC6C166s_kiHhhsS/s400/Shine.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So where do I start? Hhhhmmm this is certainly something I can expand on with fashion style surrounding me every day in my line of work. So at any given opportunity I am exploring key trends hitting the high street as well as viewing the stunning yet expensive collections from the catwalks with London Fashion week always getting my pulse racing! But while I do find myself consumed by the latest pastel overload, or tropical influences heading our way, Style to me is more about injecting your <strong><span style="color: magenta;">personality</span></strong> through you clothes. Ladies day is all about style & it's important to wear that statement piece, whatever that might be!!</span> </div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">While I take inspiration from trends in store, they come and go from one season to the next so I find myself taking elements of a stylish theme showing through & working it with my own personal flair & not going overboard with it ! Having subtle hints of the theme showing through on shoes, belts, jewellery or even through your make-up or nail vanish. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Colour is certainly key this year, & who doesn’t want a vibrant palette in their wardrobe ! It brightens up your day & injects fun ! But for me, accessorising is the main word today ladies! As I am still struggling to find that ideal dress that ticks all <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the boxes I leave you today with a number of accessory delights that caught my eye.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLmkFKCA81cl6ZkYF1QxxK_xEmLg-h40GNGGkezFp1Jtvxt21v9Q4_2EtOBfZZiTSUBxAiMkGDP7066HULZ83JolzTTY4Ozld9yhJDyYPtUwdVF6xmAo7hWxo864YhnyxYdJbfjpf-XVhy/s1600/Tedbaker1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img aea="true" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLmkFKCA81cl6ZkYF1QxxK_xEmLg-h40GNGGkezFp1Jtvxt21v9Q4_2EtOBfZZiTSUBxAiMkGDP7066HULZ83JolzTTY4Ozld9yhJDyYPtUwdVF6xmAo7hWxo864YhnyxYdJbfjpf-XVhy/s400/Tedbaker1.jpg" width="398" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Tanking you <a href="http://www.asos.com/" target="_blank">ASOS</a> for inspiration today, as always they have a fab array of options from every brand possible. These shoes above are gorgeous & sit in with the prints that are so on trend for this summer !</span><br />

Pantone's colour of the year is 'tangerine tango' so instead of going all out with a full vibrant dress number, why not go for a colourful mix in the heels & a fancy nail polish.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">Oh & don’t forget to layer ladies just in case but if today’s bright sunshine is anything to go by then make sure you take them killer shades & a fan !

It's been a busy old time with family life , house work & office work taking priority so the blog hasn't been given much attention.

We have finally moved house which was actually quite a stress-free time & hubby had the week off so planned to get the new house in ship shape order, shop till we dropped at all the furniture stores & get lots of odd jobs done ! hhhmmmm, didn't quite happen how I had imagined. The week started off as planned but then baba Spencer got ill ( & is still a little under the weather ) I then had a day out of action as caught the cold bug & then ste got it ! On a positive internet was very straight going & nearly all the boxes have been unpacked it's just a matter of finding homes for everything. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So back to work mode & I have a lot of work to catch up on including the amazing LFW that I still haven't had chance to really focus on yet! So for today a little catwalk teeser. I will be posting my key loves later in the week but felt we needed a little bit of colour on the post today ! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">By the very fashionable </span><a href="http://www.burberry.com/"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Burberry</span></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">, this ickle number caught my eye with the cutsy bow detailing at the shoulder & the very quirky centre back zip ! Like it ! Lovely warm mix of colours, yummy x</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
