Personal:

I can’t believe how fast this month flew by. It’s almost Easter, what? I mean it feels like Christmas was just yesterday, doesn’t it? As much as I hate seeing the time flew by, I’m pretty excited about spring+summer seasons. We got snowed in again yesterday night and this drives me crazy. I mean, I have way too many outfits planned in my head that do not include fur coats & gloves. Fingers crossed we’re getting some sun here soon!

I had a pretty productive week. Mr Francis passed his first training classes successfully and I’m so proud of our little one! I also hit the gym regularly as well as manages to post 4 times this week. I particularly loved featuring The Knotty Ones in my ootd post. They’re hands down my favourite Lithuanian brand this season. Let me know if you got a chance to visit their website & look through their latest SS16 collection.
