Oh hello February; my you’re looking mighty fine!

Although January is my birthday month, I just don’t have a very happy affinity with it.

Once the glitter and sparkle of Christmas has been packed away, we’re left with one the greyest, coldest, longest months of the year.

February, on the other hand, is short.

Plus the days are beginning to lengthen and the mornings — and evenings — are just that little bit brighter.

As, interestingly, is my mood.

I’ve been hankering for spring since January began; but along with my desire for lighter days, I’ve also been hankering after some lovely bits and bobs online.

A little ‘retail therapy’ if you will.

I thought I’d pop them in one post so I didn’t forget. But also, it’s nice to share — and this little collection of favourite picks from Anthropologie might just put a smile on your face too.

That cashmere jumper is a real beaut isn’t it?

Those rainbow stripes will definitely lift my mood until spring finally makes an appearance!

I love Anthro; their pairing with Liberty is still one of my favourite collaborations of recent years and the collection of watercolour crockery from a couple of summer’s ago had my heart all of a flutter.

This little of collection of favourite picks has a similar effect on my mood; such happy making items.

And a little reminder that spring is on it’s way!
