Data Disruptions

I had originally planned to upload a few other images, but instead my special USB decided to break and entirely ruin that novel idea! Yes, break as in port. stick. in shambles … how lovely! And, between the countless whispers of, “well, you did back everything up,” from what seemed to be everyone in sight, and a brief sobbing session, needless to say it did not matter at that point!

Sure, I had loads of things backed up, however the files that I really wanted were on said USB. Just before the switchover the wires were in tatters. Yes, it was one of those days! But, the day wasn’t complete crap, after a good calm down I managed to have a worthy IT guy take a look at it and he miraculously collected what he could from it. Watching him in action was quite like a present day episode of MacGyver, and obviously a very hi-tech version. 

The same feeling you get when you think you’ve lost your handbag or wallet … you know, that deep belly of heaviness and stomach dropping sensation, sprinkled with high increased heart beatsthat’s how this felt.

Since the only thing I could think of afterward involved a shot of something, I decided to pair that concept with a few fashion items that I’ve been loving at the moment. I imagine normal programming will resume shortly, but until then enjoy these inspiring gulps of style.

1. A refreshing basil and mint mojito and  Baublebar mint cuff bracelet, 2. Mandy Flats with tassels-Madison Harding and Cranberry Mojitos, 3. Dalmore 18 year old single malt scotch whisky and vintage-inspired drop-waist dress-ASOS, 4. Chained on Love bag-Urbanog and a White Russian. Alternative Probiotics recipe here.

    Thankfully, I was able to get a portion back, but still lost data. But, I guess this post was meant instead. Thank for your comment! xx/M

    Oh, I know just how you feel, Madison – once, years ago, right at the end of university term, my brother and his friends downloaded a program that wiped our computer hard drive… which meant all of my end of term essays were lost! I was devastated. A miraculous IT guy managed to get most everything back, but the initial shock was pretty awful.

    You managed to get a lovely post together in spite of your set back – I just love that orange dress!
    xox,
