Another year older, another year wiser











  


I'm not so big on birthdays, but as it is my twenty first I thought I would book the day off work. My brother is going to Canada for three months in just over two weeks, so it was nice to spend some time with him. 
We went for breakfast at my favourite place, I got eggs benedict AND pancakes - I just couldn't choose! Then after a wander around the charity shops we took a stroll along the river and I took a few snaps of the ducks.
I picked up this book in one of the charity shops - The Graduate is one of my favourite films, the soundtrack gets me every time. And of course how could I not give a little mention to my new Cambridge Satchel, I received it for my birthday from my parents and I knew it would go just lovely with my Zara trench and Topshop dress.
We're off to get chinese for dinner now, ta-ra!

Today I'm wearing...







I've really been enjoying reading Vogue's 'Today I'm Wearing' feature this month. I hadn't heard of Suki Waterhouse before, but her kookily classic outfit combinations and love of white tights has got me totally girl-crushing.
See what Suki wears tomorrow here
Or check out her instagram for more outfits and pictures

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies

Times change. People change, circumstances change. Change is simply inevitable.

First off before i show you what exciting outfit i wore today, some news! The Wendy House is taking part in the vintage fair at the Eden shopping centre! Pop the 22nd and 23rd October into your diaries and come down for a browse!


The cold is finally starting to creep back in so i popped on my burgundy Topshop trousers, another Wendy House blouse (I can't get enough of them recently!) and an old black Gap cardi to keep off the chill.

Look forward to seeing you on the 22nd!

What I wore..

As anyone who reads this blog ( i doubt there are many) will know, I'm not terribly good at it! So i thought i would follow suit and do a few 'what I wore today' posts. If you know me in person you'll be quite aware of how scruffy I can occasionally look, so I thought I would make the effort for the next week and document it in pictures for you all to see!


Day one was my day off which was very nice. I almost prefer dressing on these days as there is no worries about whether I'll get to hot in it at work, whether i can stretch and move about in it etc! This crazy random heatwave has completely thrown my dressing however, I had prepared myself for the cold, and it's sunny?! I was also going up to London today for a spot of shopping so the choice really was difficult.

I ended up in a sheer polka dot blouse from The Wendy House and a plain black skirt. A little boring perhaps, but i had my red nails and i painted on some lipstick (after the photos were taken, doh!) to liven it up a bit.


See you tomorrow folks! sleep tight!

Today is all blustery and grey, so i thought I would reminisce on the summer past! First up is those promised couple of pictures from our day at the market.





I still don't feel like I've thanked everyone enough for coming down, such a lovely day and I can't wait for the next!

Going back in time a bit further to my gorgeous holiday with Alicia. The photos were only developed the other week and I have been meaning to put them up, we had a day of switching and looking over them in marlow park and moaning about how much we would love to go back!
So here are a few, although Alicis's are a lot more interesting than mine unfortunately!





We spent most of our time away at the festival Benicassim. We camped in an orchard surrounded by mountains and it was so stunning! I just had to take some pictures, hence the random stranger in the foreground!







This festival was all about sleeping throughout the day, and staying up all night for the music! Even though the temperatures in the evening were just as high. The last picture is of Alicia's peach whiskey, I know I wouldn't be forgiven if this was not mentioned!





The above pictures are from Beirut which was INCREDIBLE. We pushed right to the front and honestly i don't think I've seen anything better in my life!






I'm so upset that i used so many of my photos whilst in beni, as it meant i hardly had any for our few days in Barcelona, which were incredible! This city is beautiful, I'm planning on a trip back ASAP! We explored all the back streets, found so many lovely little shops, visited the food market (all the colourful fruits were amazing), walked along Las Ramblas, looked at all the stalls and street artists and checked out the Gaudi architecture.

This was the cutest bakery that was so well decorated and served cupcakes and coffee and sold pop up cardboard houses to carry your cakes in and animal crackers, adorable.
A beautiful (but expensive!) boutique store, that had amazing dresses and bags and exquisite jewellery that i wished i had had the money for! The cherry on the cake with this store was the sugar cubes in a glass bowl on the front table.


This was a store Alicia had found when she visited last year and it was great! They had rails full of amazing vintage and trinkets galore all over and even old bikes for sale, that made me even more tempted to move out there just so i could ride around everywhere!


These guys were like a ray of sunshine! We were quite lost looking for a restaurant and we stumbled across this vintage store with the most english grunger who helped us out with directions, and spent up a huge part of my holiday money! This store was fantastic, littered in treasures and had a little dog running round it too!
 Which leads me on nicely to my wonderful best friend (and model for the wendy house!) Alicia. When things get bad we just pick up the phone and offload and suddenly things are a lot better. It kills me that she's off to uni next year, I have no clue what I'm going to do without her, but apparently Bath is lovely so I am very much looking forward to my trips down there! However this means that the Wendy House will be needing a new model. Either email or pm me on facebook if you're interested!

Change is in the air, and its a little scary but a lot exciting. The only way is up my friends
