Closet Peep: Laurinda



 
 
I have an unhealthy obsession for costume jewellery a self-confessed hoarder (only until recently have I been able to openly share such a revelation). I’m not one to take myself to seriously and the other 2 would probably describe me as the embarrassing one. I make a point to laugh about something each day, myself included. My obsession for tacky reality shows is spiralling out of control. French fries, ice cream and strawberries (all at once if I can) make me weak at the knees. My weekly op- shopping (yes weekly) expeditions bring me indescribable joy, happiness and excitement like nothing else (its my form of therapy). Oh I’m never on time and without fail heels are a must. I love these 2 crazy kids I share this blog with to the moon and back and I can always count on them to tell me if my get up is an epic fail. When it comes to fashion I live by the motto of "Dress to make yourself happy", I can be pretty impulsive when it comes to clothes and what I buy, but with age I'm appreciating the less is more approach.
This space below is my tiny oasis, my favourite spot in our tiny apartment. I can spend hours in here rearranging and rummaging through my little treasures, to anyone else it may all seem like “stuff”(ask mister man) but to me the wonders in here make my heart flutter. They bring me memories of first dates, cheeky nights out with the girls, and bargains I should have said “NO” to. So without further ado welcome to my closet…
