There are benefits of being stuck indoors when the sun burns brightly outside for the first time this year. Boredom sets in and, after watching a whole season of 24 and eating all the Easter eggs, there really is nothing left to do but give in and start Spring cleaning.
Once you get started it actually ain't that bad and there really is a sense of achievement in seeing my lipsticks all nicely stored in Muji perspex drawers (look out for a blogpost on beauty storage very soon) and there is something about colour coordinating jackets and shirts that makes me feel less chaotic and rather smug.
And then there is the other benefit - rediscovering hidden gems of treasure previously lost and forgotten to the back of an over-stuffed wardrobe. One such item that I am super excited about, is my long-lost pair of khaki suede Miu Miu platform pumps with mermaid brooch. Bought from net-a-porter in the sale circa 2008, these amazing shoes have been hiding in my husband's walk in wardrobe (luckily in a dust bag and box which has kept them in perfect condition). It really is sarcrilidge that these haven't seen the light of day in at least 5 years and it is high time to embrace their leg-lengthening and outfit perfecting qualities for 2013.
Spring cleaning is good for something at least!
Bisous xx
