The other day an email popped into my inbox to invite me to a spa day with the folks at NEXT. I of course took them up on the offer and on Thursday I arrived at the luxurious Champneys for a day full of pampering with a bunch of other blogging mums!
We were actually not allowed our phones in most of the areas of the spa which was an odd feeling for me. I am really aware that I am a little too attached to my phone and being connected to the internet although I always justify it as my work is so internet based. I have to admit I struggled to switch off and relax as any child free time is usually spent trying to get as much done as possible. I've realised that 'doing nothing' certainly is a skill and not one I've quite mastered yet!
We were treated to some amazing pampering treatments and then in the evening a lovely meal and chance to really chat and catch up with some lovely women. An absolute treat and one I feel very lucky to have attended, thanks Next!
One of the girls from Next was wearing the most amazing skirt and it inspired me to put together a little outfit from their new range. I'm really tempted to get them all if I'm honest!
1, Faux Fur Jacket*
2, Yes Weekend bag *
3, Grey Ankle Boot*
4, Midi Pleat Skirt *
5, Tassel Bangle*
p.s the skirt totally just fell in my online shopping bag shhh don't tell Tom!

It sounds like a lot of fun. A well-deserved treat. That outfit looks very you too.
Oh that sounds blissful! And the skirt is gorgeous :)
Love the look of your kitchen! We have a very similar radio in our family at my dad's house :-) vintage is best x
That looked amazing! I love the skirt and the bag too. Glad you had a relaxing treat in the run up to this busy time. You'll need another one afterwards. :-) xxx
sounds like bliss - I'd love a spa day ;)
So glad you had fun and that skirt is oh so cool. Might have to go check out their autumn range! X
I find it really hard to switch off from my phone too. I think it's because I don't see my work as work but fun/social too but it is good to disconnect I guess. I can really see you in that skirt - well-played!
That skirt really was gorgeous! It was so lovely to meet you Fritha xx
Ooh, a spa day! Sounds fab x
Oh wow sounds like you had an amazing time - nothing better than a little bit of pampering, especially when your planning a weather - nice to take your mind of things. I agree too I'm a little bit more attached to my phone that I should be

i'd love to go to a spa one day! love those grey boots.
I'm all for a good old house tour! What a gorgeous kitchen ...love your little bits and pieces. This is the kind of kitchen you want to sit in and spend an hour gazing around... Not a walk through at all!
