Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

{Fashion Monday} Fur Coat Wishlist

Ever since the good people at Same Apparel contacted me to see if I wanted to review their Leopard fur winter coat. I have been obsessing over fur coats and jackets. I will confess I was never one to wonder to the fur coat side even though I had owned one long, warm and lovely fur coat before I just never thought it was my thing. But as I have grown older have realised I need to stop holding myself back, I need to leave my comfort zone and try out new things (cautiously of course).

 

Fur Wishlist

So stepping out of my comfort zone was accepting to review the fur coat and then wearing it almost every other day either to work or to run errands even to attend blogger events. Any other time I would have chosen my trusted H&M biker jacket and be done but it’s 2015 and if I do not get out now I probably won’t ever. So in this spirit of stepping out of my comfort zone I thought I share with you some of the fur coat’s I have been wanting or drooling over. I have these coats to be of reasonable price and some from my trusted stores so I know they are pretty good.

    This reminded me of a fake fur coat I had as a kid. It was red of all things, lolol!! I don’t even know who got that for me, probably my paternal grandmother. 😉
