Another weekend rolls around… and a Bank Holiday weekend too! By Thursday every week we’re planning for the Best Weekend Ever, but by the time clocking off time comes on Friday it’s so easy to let it slip by without doing a thing except working on that groove in the couch! We’ve paired up with [yellow tail] wines to bring you three suggestions every Friday on how to make the most of your weekend…

 

Saturday Morning: Closet Clear Out

Yes, we know clearing out your wardrobe doesn’t exactly scream ‘Bank Holiday Fun’, but trust us, we’re going somewhere with this! Spend a couple of hours tackling your clothes, parting with anything that hasn’t been worn in a year or anything you swore you’d get taken in/out/up over six months ago. Put them all in a bag and bring them to the charity shop of your choice. You’ve done some good by donating, and you’ve freed up space in your closet for the next splurge – win!

 

Saturday Afternoon: Shopping Trip

Oh ye of little faith… Yes, this is where we were leading with the above. But do it differently, there’s no point cluttering up the same space you just cleared with more “bargains” – they’re not a bargain if you never wear them. So, instead of coming home with five sale purchases you might never don, bring a friend, indulge in some window shopping, and treat yourself to one quality item that you’ll get the wear out of, like an LBD or a pair of nude shoes.

 

Sunday Night: Hit The Town

You know you’re a grown-up when you forfeit any Sunday night activity on the grounds that it will leave you wrecked for the week. So there’s something deliciously indulgent about heading out on a Bank Holiday night and knowing you don’t have to suffer through a tedious Monday in the office afterwards. Bring the girls over for a bottle of wine then strap on those dancing shoes for a night on the tiles, you have all day Monday to relax and get ready for the (short) working week…
