Harvest Festival

Hello there loves, October is here and all the best vegetables have arrived. Everything is ripening and being picked in all of the beautiful colours that Autumn has to offer.

After being in Bulgaria last week, still soaking up the last of the European sun and relaxing, it was actually a nice surprise to come back to that crisp cool air that greets you after the equinox and into the depths of Autumn. That's not to say I didn't enjoy my hols, because it was definitely a much needed break and Bulgaria is a beautiful and vibrant country. 

Whilst desperately rushing around trying to get a snap near some pumpkins on Sunday afternoon, with the rain never ceasing to a halt and me wishing I had worn my big stompy boots, we stumbled across this perfect setting. Hidden in a polytunnel with tomatoes, raspberries and old sunflowers, was this table brimming with pumpkins and marrows of every shape and colour possible. It reminded me of the Harvest festival that was held once a year in my primary school-ever so nostalgic! We felt as if it had been put there just for the occasion, wishful  thinking of course, but a lovelu coincidence none the less. 

I also managed to gather some dull pink hydraneas, which I popped in my basket and are now hung up to dry in my room. It's the small pleasures at the weekend like this that make all the hard work in the week pay off.

How has your October been so far?

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

Gingham In Heather

Beret~Accessorize/ Dress~ Asos/ Shoes~Primark

Hello again beauts,

Wow what an utterly wonderful Sunday it has been. It is so good to finally have some warm Spring sun and not have to layer up to go out for a walk. I don't know about you but it literally just lifts me up as soon as those rays hit my face.

So this morning I took a stroll around the beautiful gardens of Dartington, I have been there a few times in the last few weeks and everytime I go there it seems more things have sprung from the ground. The colours of fallen Magnolia petals cover the grass in pastel shades and daffodils, tulips and forget-me-nots jazz up the flower beds. Falling into a bush of heather and being soaking wet with dew afterwards was my highlight.

 Spring really is a special time of year.

I got this little gingham number from Asos a few weeks ago, I love the little puff sleeves and the old-fashioned cloth like material. I have got the feeling that I will be wearing it to death over the coming months.

This Summer I am really hoping to get a little job working outside, whilst I do like working in the pharmacy I feel like I don't want to be cooped up all day and would rather make less money doing something I really enjoy. Maybe that is just the sun going to my head, but it is definitely a thought that has me excited and up at night. Then who knows, maybe my dream of spending hours amongst flowers daily will become true. 

Hope you all had a lovely weekend and are enjoying the first few days of April and what it has to offer.

Lots of love always

Pink Polka-dot Tuesday

Top~Tara Starlet/ Skirt~Vintage

Hello again!

It may be November but that doesn't seem to be stopping my mood to wear light. bright outfits. Especially when you find the perfect pastel pink house to blend with (minus the crisp packets in the bush). 

This week is going to be about bringing as much vibrancy and colour into these dull weathered days as possible. 

Whether it's a red lip to work or a flower in my hair, I am determined to keep it up!

I have been a big fan of Tara Starlet for a long time and was so sad to hear that it was closing down. 

But, I just had to get my mitts on this pink Carmen top before they went away forever

 and I am so glad that the spotty goodness is now in my life.

Tulle skirts are still a big staple in my wardrobe, all year round and I thought it completed my outfit- plus you can never have too many twirling sessions.

Here is to another week of new beginnings!

Lots of Love always

Monday- Rusty Railway

Happy Monday folks!

What a lovely start to the week, the sun is still shining and if you manage to stay out of the wind, there is still a warmth in the air.
I had a day off work and so I decided to go and have a little adventure down by the old railway tracks near my town.

The station itself is so lovely, covered in flowers, pastel guttering and vintage adverts. It is in its own little time warp and is completely silent-apart from the 12 o'clock steam train. 

I felt the need to channel one of my favourite films 'The Railway Children' and hop on and off of the old rusty carriages and grassy green tracks. My tartan pinafore from Mod Dolly I have had for a few years now and it never fails to see me through the Autumn/ Winter months.

From now on I am going to make the most of my days off, as there are so many quaint little places for a stroll around Devon. 

You honestly never know what you will stumble across.

I will be cooped up working in the Pharmacy until Sunday now, so fresh air and beautiful landscapes are always very welcome.

I do hope your week has begun with a positive bang!

Lots of love always
