Project 365: Week 20

 Day 128: Most of the afternoons this week have been spent sitting outside which has been so nice. It's actually been quite hot! Ben's made a start on gardening, here he is getting the herbs in. He also found some pretty cute bugs for me.     Day 129: Alex's mum is pretty nifty on the old sewing front and makes these lovely rosebud pin cushions that you can wear on your wrist. She made this one for me and it just so happens to go perfectly with my nails!  Day 130: Me and Alex went to check out the blacksmith fair that was on at the Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet.  Day 131: Meersbrook park hill is a nightmare to run up, it absolutely killed me! But when I got to the top and turned round, this view of the city made it all worth it. Day 132: This is a snap I got of the neighbour's dog who will bark and coo at me if I do anything other than fuss it when I'm sat out on my front step. Day 133: I came home from work the other day to find our front door had taken on a whole new look. I've always wanted a yellow front door and now we have one!

Day 134: It was Nathan's last day at work today, he's the baker. So for one last celebration he molded together loads of cookies to make a big ice cream cookie pie!!

Spring Simplicity

A nice, minimal outfit today. Simple, casual springtime. This is such a lovely, delicate top that I got from Oasis. Another high neckline and frilly capped sleeves. It's so soft and floaty and has a really nice, almost scalloped edge at the bottom.

The jeans are actually high waisted as you can probably see but I'm wearing them more so for their paleness.

I'm wearing this outfit today to go down to Sharrow Marrow (where Ben works) to use their wifi. We're currently internet-less at the flat you see, and oh how nice to have been completely offline for a few days! I'll hopefully be back full force in a few days.

Top - Oasis

Jeans - River Island

(ps. woo first photos from our new garden - what a lovely bunch of nettles!)

Honey Hued Delights

Good morning, the sun is shining! I'm so pleased that spring has finally broken through and the world is getting colourful again. The best Spring colour in my opinion is yellow... more specifically mustard. I'm a bit in love with it at the moment and I think red hair suits it quite well too.
I've been on a bit of a ModCloth binge recently and I've found and pinned many a mustard delight. Mostly shoes and dresses that are all waiting patiently in my shopping basket. Oh how I'd love them all!

The T bar wedges I can't get over. They're beautiful and definitely destined to be mine if they ever get my size in. Now, which to buy second...

Peach Tea

When I wear this outfit I feel like I should be sat on a big open porch, surrounded by magnolia trees drinking peach iced tea with a warm breeze blowing. In actual fact there's a very cold breeze blowing today, as ever.
It's actually not a good day to be wearing a wide brimmed hat but damn it, it goes so well with the dress! Even if it does keep blowing off!

This is what I refer to as my copper dress that I found in a vintage shop in Sheffield, named Vulgar which, alas, is no more but they're still on Asos. It's lovely though, again a high neckline and I love the delicate floral print.

 Not quite the deep south but the south nonetheless.....Yorkshire that is! Near enough.

Dress - Vintage from Vulgar

What I Wore: Vintage Chic

Spring has sprung and therefore I can justify wearing nude tights! (Even though it is still cold and incredibly windy). Oh well! I'm channeling my inner Bacall in this outfit. The purple top is one of my favourite items of clothing that I own. I'm a sucker for a high neckline and deep rich colours. It's also really soft and has the sweetest peep hole fastening at the back. Also, wearing it with one of many pairs of art nouveau earrings.

The skirt is vintage and also a favourite. I saw it and I had to have it. A smart/casual/chic kind of day.
