Summer picnics




It was J's birthday on tuesday so we went for a picnic yesterday in a national trust park nearby. It was huge and beautiful, I could spend every day there. There was a big lake with swans, and it was just gorgeous. We ate lots of crips and birthday cake, and drank lots of pear cider and shloer. It was a lovely day.
I wore a grey/silver dress from vero moda, it was my first time wearing it and it's the perfect dress for a picnic. It was such a hot day, so the silk and linen blend was light and comfortable, and it's just so pretty!


and that's J wearing my sunglasses. he's cool.

be running up that road, be running up that hill






Yesterday I went exploring on my bike, and found some wonderful places. It was so quiet and relaxing, just what I needed. I found a bridge and really want to know where it leads to, but I didn't want to get too lost, so I'll go back another day and explore further. It was such a hot day, I didn't need the sheer white tights. I think all outfit photos will have to be in beautiful locations like this from now on :)

Life is a dream but we're all walking in our sleep

what I wore in Liverpool...

It was pretty hot last Tuesday, so I debuted these secondhand high-waisted black shorts and my lovely comfy gladiators.

Gladiators: Peacocks
Pleather jacket: muu:baa
Scarf: New Look
Tee: Primark
Shorts: Secondhand



This is what I wore for the second day of shopping, and the t-shirt I bought the previous day at Pull and Bear. It has little monsters on it and says 'whats up dude?', I love it!

Pleather Jacket: Muu:baa
Tee: Pull and Bear
Jeans: Dorothy Perkins
Trainers: Topshop

Don't get me wrong

After my brother's graduation last Monday, my sister and I decided to stay on in Liverpool until Thursday. That was lovely, we planned to explore the city, visit Penny Lane and the like, but that didn't happen when we discovered the new shopping centre. It was basically two pure days of shopping, and I got some lovely white oxfords amongst other things.



We also discovered a fabulous shop called Pull and Bear, and their even more fabulous sale! They had tons of fantastic t-shirts for less than a fiver each and jeans for about 8 pounds, it was great. I'm a bit low on cash right now, so all I got was the bag in the above photo and a t-shirt, which I wore the next day and will be featured in my next post, an outfit post finally! I ended up trying on quite a few things in that wonderful shop, including this dress and t-shirt. You can't see the t-shirt very well, but it said 'things I love' and had little drawings of cups of tea and biscuits and sunglasses and things, very sweet. I'll definitely be going back to that shop, I'm hoping to visit Liverpool again later in the summer.



Anyway, I apologise for the lack of posts after getting back from Liverpool on Thursday, I've had quite a busy weekend. On friday night I went to the cinema and dinner, and on Saturday I went to a friend's gig in Lincoln, followed by late night pizza and chips at a place called 'American Fried Chicken' where none of the workers were even English, let alone American, and a couple started having a domestic (there were shrieks of 'TELL ZENNA I'M GONNA KILL HER!'), very classy. Then Sunday I was at work followed by a visit by relatives.
Today I plan to pack a good book, some snacks and my art sketchbook, and go exploring the local countryside on my bike, I need to look for a field suitable for a picnic for a friend's birthday and I also need to begin my a-level art project entitled 'delicate and strong'. Summer feels good :)
