Time to celebrate

It is official, the past couple of weeks have been the basis of celebration for me and my family. Think new jobs and wedding bells. Obviously the latter I am most excited about. It's my time to be a bridesmaid for my sister! We cannot stop looking at dresses, flowers and beautiful decor. For me this is the most exciting part!  Due to all the celebrations, there was only one thing for it... Champers (pink of course)!

Summer blues

Embroidered Skirt from Warehouse.

Although the blues are seen as being down, the colour blue has really grown on me this summer and cheered me up no end. Think the sky, the sea, the Tiffany's packaging. Blue is the colour of summer. I don't know whether I have only just grown out of the blues for boys, pinks for girls phase (which most grow out of when they're 10) but I just cannot get enough of it. Writing this post it has come to my attention that my laptop, camera, jewellery and bedroom are all shades of this colour. Coincidence, I think not!
 Happy Sunning x

Summer loving

 So today has been a stupendously relaxing and calming day. Waking up to the sun beaming through my window I felt motivated and truely inspired to finally get this blog up to date! My personal style and likes are pure girlyness (If that was ever a word). Think tea cups, cake and foral prints. Nothing is too feminine. This being said, today I began by looking through a book that I have never thought to read. ' A year in a Victorian Garden'- Henry A. Bright. This book contains the most beutiful and delightful illustrations by Christine Hart-Davies that portray Victorian flowers. To my suprise, I found the brush strokes and shading dainty and elegent and highly inspirational. Reading this book got me out into the garden, planting flowers and taking in the great British summer.
Here are a few images from my day. Spot the obvious floral and nature theme!

Shorts inspired by my time spent in the garden! Bought last summer from Primark.

The Olympics seem to be such an exciting and patriotic experience for me! I have very little interest in sports at any other time, however when it's the olympics it seems different! The sense of excitment knowing your country is competing for an elusive gold medal that several others are. For me also, it means me and my family sitting together, really getting excited about something. All I wish is that I felt like this before the tickets went on sale, then I may have seen it all in flesh. I think that events like this show how people can work together and build such a memorable experience for people. I'm so into the Olympics, it was carried into the shop window! Happy Olympics x x x

When it comes to handbags, there is no brand that I trust more than Nica! I seem to have been buying bags from them foreverrrrrrr, and luckily, they last forever! Have to say, I am slightly addicted! Also seem to be collecting rather a lot of rings and bracelets, don't thing a girl can have too many...can she? xx

I'm so patriotic! After watching the Diamond Jubilee concert, I really got into the spirit of things! The next day I went for an afternoon tea at a Family friends house...and I can truthfully say that I have never eaten so much cake, and drank so much tea! Needless to say, I had a beautiful day. Oh and I forgot to mention the unlimited supply of Bucks fizz! xxx

So It's jubilee! Today I had work, and didn't end up wearing red white and blue, however, I did paint my nails red! I will be looking very patriotic tomorrow though! I ended up wearing a bargin primark outfit today, with my trusty brogues, which I have had for AGES, and they are still in pretty good condition. Also wore my mustard colour dress, of which I snapped up at the week end! Happy jubilee everyone!! xxx
