Happy New Year

Whoops..... I went Awol..

I can only apologise for my disappearance over the last 2 weeks.

It was actually unintentional but much needed. I have just started a new job as an A&E nurse and as I expected it is exciting, harrowing and intense. I have spent the last fortnight coming to terms with the job move, seeing hideous stuff and the crazy amount of learning I have to do in this new role, whilst juggling christmas and plans for the New Year. 

But Moon to Moon is back.. and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank a few people that have been fundamental in 2012...... Sara and her fellow Sisters of the Black Moon, Kerrie from Gypsy River, Danielle from Beyond Marrakech, Lizzy and Spelly from Spell and the Gypsy Collective, Kelsi from Pandeia, The wonderful Pearle Love team, Zoe from Gypsy Sister, Nur from El Hieroglyph, Kelly Marie from Harem of peacocks...... but most of all I want to thank you all for your continued support, kind words and inspiration. 

Happy New Year!!!

I would also like to mention my lovely friend Felix who took his life in September. There is a big funkily dressed, cheese eating, Beastie Boy loving hole in all our lives without you. I hope you have finally found peace xxx

Reflection...

Reflection: Serious trouser envy: Janis bells from the marvellous Novella Royale

Reflection: Incorporating two of my favourite Aussie lables. Kerrie from Gypsy River in her Spell Leggings

Ultimate reflection aid: Herbal tea :)

I have been a bit absent from here recently. September has been a month of roller coaster emotions.

One of my friends lost his battle with bi-polar and sadly took his own life which, has been absolutely heart breaking for me and all my friends :(

I also got myself my dream job as a nurse in the Emergency Department which I really excited about.... but also extremely nervous

As a result September left my brain and body feeling exhausted and desperately in need of some time out to reflect upon life's tragic lows and happy highs and prepare myself for what I want to achieve in my future.

So I just wanted to say a big thank you to all Moon to Moons followers and sponsors for your words, emails and silent visits, you guys really keep me motivated and inspired so I apologise for my absenteeism but now, Moon to Moon is back. To stay :)

Sheepskin rugs ....

Bohemian Style: If a classic sheepskin rug would get ruined on the floor of your house, why not use one as a cosy chair throw? Cosy

Effortless Bohemian Style :Sheepskin on chair

Bohemian Interior: Vogue Living Australia, August 2011: Sheepskin rug and Moroccan rug

Sheepskin Rug on Papasan Chair: Earthage Blog

Sheepskin Rugs: The home of Photographer Mark Borthwick

Sheepskin rug: Of course you could use one as a rug :)

Effortlessly Bohemian....I love sheepskin rugs they remind me of an awesome Afghan coat that I had when I was 15. It was the cosiest jacket ever, god knows what happened to it :(

Although I have a thing for sheepskin I am pretty clumsy and a white rug on my floor would get ruined, so I am loving the sheepskin on a chair look. A perfect snuggly winter chair look, or going by the rubbish weather at the moment even British Summer look :)
