I barely breathe when you are near...

Hurray, it's summer time! Well at least it was last weekend when these pictures were taken. My boyfriend and me spent the day at Cliveden, the only downside was that quite a few people had the same idea and it was rather busy. We didn't visit the house, but wandered around the grounds and had ice cream. I hope this weekend will be just as nice.

I really like flowery summer dresses at the moment and I just adore the Victorian Maiden Rococco series. This dress is one of my exam panic purchases, I think it was a good one! The pictures were taken by my lovely  boyfriend.

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky, we know Major Tom's a junky..

Hello everyone... it's been a rather busy month. Well, I had my exams in May and that was pretty hectic. Anyway, this weekend I went to a boat show at Beale Park to help my friend Joy spread the word about her charity MASC (Monkeys Acting in Schools for Conservation )

For the occasion I wore Angelic Pretty's Marine Frill JSK, which I have recently acquired. I don't usually go for sweet dresses, but oh my do I love this one! Shoes by Ugo Torrini, Cardigan by New Look. We had a really good time, though unfortunately it started raining in the evening. Meh! 

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair...

Yes, once again it has been a long time since I have updated my blog. Damn those exams and courseworks. Shopping always helps with stress and this lovely dress by Victorian Maiden is one of my newest acquisitions. I love the colour, it is such a lovely spring dress!

Talking of spring, the past couple of weekends the weather has been lovely and my boyfriend and me went to Basildon Park. I'm always surprised by how long I can walk about in High Heels, but I couldn't resist the lovely flowers and so we walked around the grounds.

Hey, that's no way to say Good-Bye!

Spring is here! Hurray! Today was a lovely warm day in the UK (just like yesterday) and I spent some time reading in the garden to relax. I know, I probably shouldn't relax from reading for my next assignment by reading a book, but I rediscovered 'Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel ' by Susanna Clarke. It narrates the history of English Magic in an alternate Britain where Magic exists. I recommend it if you like fantasy or good literature, it is incredibly well written.

I have of course done a reasonable amount of shopping to relax, but I bought this dress last year. It's by Kids Yoyo, the blouse is by Nolita and the shoes are from a shop (that does't exist anymore) in Berlin. I really wanted to wear this dress in autumn and pair it with some nice brown boots, but it arrived to late. Works quite well in spring too!

Time of no Reply!

So, once again I have failed to keep up my blog, as usual my excuse is University and stress. I really wish that when something bad happens, it wouldn't always come in threes.

 This is without a doubt my new favourite dress. It is incredibly comfortable to wear and absolutely amazing. It's from Toast, a shop that was recommended to me by my friend S. I really like their plain, but elegant style and am even happier to buy from them after reading their policy regarding materials and ethics.

Burning down the House!

                                                          Hello Everyone!  
Just a quick one tonight, here are some pictures of the apron I made for my Gran!

Admittedly it would be a better picture if I could show it worn, but it's too big on me and I didn't want to put my Granny on my blog. It seemed a bit wrong. Anyway, what do you think?

 

 Now before I run back to my coursework currently in progress, I wanted to let you know that I have cleared out my wardrobe and I'm selling some stuff on ebay. This includes some jewellery, a 1920's Vintage coat and the blouse below from Betsey Johnson. Clicky here if you want to have a look!

 

That's not me by the way, stock picture! ;-) 

The world that you need is wrapped in gold silver sleeves, left beneath Christmas trees in the snow!

 

Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Yule, or whatever you may be celebrating. I have finally pulled myself out of my self created misery and stress, thanks to a couple of lovely days in Berlin. Me and my boyfriend were meant to go for 10 days and then our flights got cancelled, so we flew out Christmas Eve and stayed for 4 days. 

I got some lovely presents, including my very own digital camera from my boyfriend, plenty of books, a beautiful skirt by Innocent World from my gran and other lovely things. Berlin was completely snowed in and we actually had to spend some time shovelling snow of my gran's roof. I love snow. 

My lovely coat is from FanPlusFriend, it actually kept me warm. The Pirate boots were also quite useful since the snow was quite high! I bought the hat in Estonia and the muff is from a little shop in Berlin.
