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

Feeling 1970 in 2017

Glasses~H&M/ Blouse~Zara/ Skirt~H&M

Good evening lovelies,

I don't know about you but sometimes on sunny days, when the sky is the brightest of blues and the smell of warmth is in the air, it just makes me want to buy a campervan and travel the world. Listening to music and picking wild flowers to decorate my van with. A bit weird I know, but sometimes I can't help but want to travel back in time and have a bit of a hippy festival life and make log fires and braid my hair.

So that's what I did a couple of weeks ago, when my best friend from London came to stay. I dressed up as some sort of 1970s-suede and floral wearing- plaits woman. We even did some yoga and danced on the decking to some sweet old tracks. And I loved it hah. Sometimes I love nothing more than a good dress-up session and feeling like a time traveler for the day. 

Don't get me wrong, I love this life and everything in it, but on the odd occasion it's nice to see how the other half live- of sorts. As usual I stood in front of the nearest bush and took a couple of snaps to show for it. 

I am off to Marrakech in a little under two weeks and I cannot wait to see what Morocco has to offer. Please be prepared for some bumper posts on the colour and culture over there. I am half- tempted to take an empty suitcase to fill with market goods, foods and fabrics. 

I hope you have all had a lovely week.

Lots of love always

Magical Sleeves & Blue Patchwork

Earrings~H&M/ Blouse~H&M/Dress~Primark/Shoes~Topshop

Hey again guys!

Happy Friday!

This week has gone super quick and I have been really enjoying settling back into Devon life.

There are just so many quirky buildings and flowers that are perfect to take snaps in front of.

Not to mention just how colourful everywhere is.

Simply lovely. 

After having a bit of a fear of taking the plunge to join the denim dress trend,

I finally jumped on the band wagon...

and boy am I glad I did.

My hips are a lot bigger than the rest of my frame, 

so finding the right denim number was tricky. 

But low and behold, Primark came through in true form and now me and this garment

are basically inseparable. 

Ohh and if I could just have a moment to mention the sleeves on this shirt, 

they really have a mind of their own.

 Great for swishing in or fanning yourself while flustered!

I've always been a bit of a sleeve girl-the bigger the better I say :)

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend

&

Enjoy the last few sparing moments of warmth in the daytime

Lots of love

Greenhouse Botanicals

Beret~Vintage/ Bows~Vintage/ Top~Zara/ Skirt~H&M

Hey there!

It has been a mad old week, rain and shine all at once. My sister and I took a very much needed sibling outing on Sunday and wondered around the Royal Botanic gardens in Kew. I love going there every now and again to remember that London isn't all dull and grey, there is still beauty and greenery when you go searching for it. 

I even matched my outfit to the surroundings and felt very much a part of nature! I must have had this skirt for about 8 years and even though the hem is a mess and threads are coming out of it, my goodness it is still one of my favourites. 

It was a lovely 'Escape to the country' kinda day and we had a right old giggle and ate way too many sandwiches.

Do you have a secret getaway spot?

Lots of love

Painting The Mountains Red

Dress~ H&M/ Bag~Vintage

Hey there June bugs!

So, I have been to Turkey...again, for the third time this year. It really is starting to feel like a second home. This time I have been up in the mountains in Ovacik, at a beautiful hotel named Sahra Su. I would really recommend it, as you have the best of both worlds. Whether you enjoy being amongst the other Brits, laughing away and sunning yourself by the pool; or if you are more like me and enjoy the quieter side, there are plenty of traditional and cultural Turkish villages and magical paths to walk down.
This bright burnt orange/ red dress from H&M really was a god send in that heat. You can probably see from the pictures what a clammy, pale tourist I was. But, nevertheless I had another wonderful time trapsing through the mountains, spotting lizards and turtles and of course gorging myself on the heavenly food. I came back a few days ago with a cheeky tan and a very full belly!

It has been quite hard to adjust and settle back into the busy, rainy race of everyday London life and I am really looking into saving a bit and just running off to a beautiful country to live my days out at the market and the beach; well, one can dream anyway :)


I hope you have all enjoyed the first few weeks of official summer and have lots to look forward to in the coming season.

Lots of love,

Bonjour

Hey beauts,

The month of May is upon us, my favourite month of all :) Not just because it is the month of my birthday, but it is also the beginning of the real summertime and everyone appears more vibrant and positive. 

I adore my new 'Bonjour' top, I picked it up in the sale as I couldn't have justified paying the full price of thirty-two pounds for a basic tee, But as soon as I saw it at a fraction of the price, I had to snap it up. 

I went for a long walk with my bestie Shade, in the beautiful grounds of Richmond Park on the bank holiday. And despite the rain and wind, it was lovely to see deer running free and plantations of bluebells and magnolias. 

Also, it is so rare for me to wear a pair of trousers, but these cropped little numbers make me still feel girly and they go with a lot of pieces in my summer wardrobe. I always like to try something new.

I will put up my April favourites in a few days, a bit belated I know-but my schedule is so mixed up at the moment.

I hope you are all well and enjoy the weekend of sunshine that is about to arrive.

Lots of love,
