Daisies & My Dream Dress

Beret~Vintage/ Dress~Mod Dolly

Hey loves and Happy Thursday,

England has been immersed in trickling sunshine this week, as those rays have been hitting the streets like golden ribbons. Everything is in bloom and it's that perfect time in May between Spring and Summer, when everything is colourful and everything is truly alive. Hence why this month will always have the warmest of places in my heart.

Earlier this week I was gifted with the most beautiful of dresses from one of my favourite brands, Mod Dolly. As you know anything floral I am bound to adore and this delightful dress is no exception. The sleeves are ever so whimsical and great for spinning around near a bush in, one of my many favourite past times. I took these pictures whilst in an allotment, I was trying to find some herbs to put on some roast potatoes and saw this marvelous yellow blossom. So after filling my pockets with rosemary and thyme, queue some Simon and Garfunkel... we took some snaps in front of it. I also lay in a bunch of daisies, because they match the dress and hey ho, I am a sucker for blending. I also managed to take some of those home too, to press and dry. The never ending appreciation for flowers eh?

Wishing you all a wonderful upcoming weekend, after all the horribleness that happened earlier this week- I hope everyone is well and let's enjoy the sunshine and look after one another.

Lots of love always

Crop tops and culottes

Top~Topshop/ Culottes Hnm/ Shoes~Primark

Hey again my dears,

I cannot believe it is the 1st of May today, this year is steaming along like a train. It's my birthday very soon and as usual I am feeling a little anxious about turning that one year older. 26 to be exact. Or late twenties, as they say. But I am just going to embrace it and try to tick off a little list of things I would like to do before then.

This delightful little crop top I purchased a few weeks back and I just can't get enough of it. I am really enjoying all of the gypsy and hippy style pieces I am seeing on the high-street these days and it is making me really try to branch out with my outfits.

I am trying to save up to buy an old gypsy wagon to do up and live- in during the summer months. It is a plan in its very very early stages, but I am slowly realising what I want to do with my life and saying to most things these days 'why not'?

I hope you have all enjoyed this extended weekend, despite the rain. But peonies are going to be in season soon and those always brighten up any day.

Lots of love always

Boxing Day: Gathering Wood

Hat~Vintage/Shirt~Zara/Skirt~New Look

Merry Christmas everyone....well I guess now it is technically Boxing day, but I like to stretch the day out for a further week or so.

Yesterday was filled with absolute joy, presents, board games and a mammoth feast that I had worked on baking for a few days. But it definitely paid off, to see my lovely families faces and to spend quality time with them just chilling and being a bit lavish for once. 

However, the day after Christmas, having been cooped up in a cosy warm room for 24 hours previously, we always take a big walk on Boxing day. This year we ventured up to the Moors and walked around the woods and a huge half-frozen lake. It was truly spectacular visually and walking off all of those roast potatoes and trifles, made stomping in streams and mud that bit more fun. 

Dressed in black and white whilst picking up logs for the fire, I felt like a real old-fashioned Yule Tide lady. When you go to places like the Moors you kind of lose all sense of time and space- but in the most wonderful way. 

I cannot wait to see in the New Year and embrace what it has to offer. 

Speak soon

Lots of Love Always

Witch In The Wind

Dress~H&M/ Shoes~Topshop

Hey lovelies!

Okay okay I know Halloween was nearly a week ago, but here is my belated witchy vibe post. I hardly ever wear such dark ensembles but, as it was the time of the season I thought I would go all out. 

Off on a mission to see some wild ponies, I went up to the moors

 to watch my dress float in the wind and feel some spooky vibes.

To my very joy, we found some magnificent horses, a whole family of them

 and

 it was so nice to be silent on a hill with them all.

Being up so high and amongst nature, made me discover where I want to go on my next adventure:

Iceland!

I have always wanted to see the Northern lights and find more quiet and unruined parts of the world- which are getting more and more rare.

 I think it will be the perfect place to get back to basics and fulfill a big dream of mine.

This year is almost over and it has been a real whirlwind, never knowing what is around the next corner. I love surprises but for the new year I think I should be a little more organised haha.

Lots of Love always

Hello October: Green Velvet

Beret~Vintage/ Dress~Zara/Tights~Vintage/Earrings~H&M

Hello there and happy October!

Well Autumn is well and truly upon us, the leaves have turned to crimson and mustard

and I am pulling out all of my greens and purples.

Oh and the berets are back :)

As I have expressed before, I just love this season.

The crisp air and the feeling of change.

I went to this delightful village near my home at the weekend, brimming with thatched roofs

and complete with a horse and carriage.

It really does feel like something out of  a film.

I cannot seem to resist anything dark green and velvety these days.

After seeing this dress in Zara I had to immediately snatch it up.

Although it is a little more figure hugging than something I would usually wear,

I am really trying to embrace my body this year. 

And what better way to do so,

than in a dress you love!

What is your favourite thing about Autumn?

Lots of Love
