Welcome to week 2 of my Local Lust List. Like many people, I've been really struggling with the concept of wearing normal clothes again and not just living in the same leggings and t-shirt combo, so browsing online for inspiration for this blog post has given me a nice bit of escapism, and also the [...]
Oh hey there. If you're anything like me (a shopaholic) then during lockdown you're champing at the bit, wanting to hit the shops and buy some lovely new things that don't even vaguely resemble jogging bottoms.
