beach baby



floaty blouse and floral boots - topshop, shorts -h&m/DIY

few photos from the beach at the weekend. i can't believe this warm weather we're getting in england at the moment! hopefully it'll stretch to next weekend too, because as you can see, my legs could definitely do with a bit of a tan (and i'm a disaster with fake tan). i love living near to the beach, but i'm not one of those people who can just lay in the sun all day, i get bored. i need to be doing things!

this blouse is prooobably too long to be tucked into these shorts, but what the heck. i wish i had hair that allowed me to tie it up into a loose scruffy bun like a lot of other bloggers do; sadly it's too thick and unruly and as you can see, ends up being about 10cm's long!

  6. Oh goodness! This is the sweetest outfit! I love your lavender blouse. I had a similar one that I left in a hotel room in Paris after a sordid night of walking around Paris with only one shoe, and after that, minus my favorite blouse!

  7. Those shoes really add a sweet twist to your adorable outfit. I agree that lying on the beach is sometimes 'too soothing' and makes you feel like time is being wasted...

  10. I feel your pain - I have awfully thick hair too, I can't really do much with it at all. Infact, I think it's just given up growing downwards & is now growing thicker instead. So frustrating!

  11. I think your messy bun totally works! And I like to think I'm kind of a pro on the messy buns so.....I give you two thumbs up.

    Love your blouse too!

  13. Love your blouse, especially the color. The bun looks great to me! I suffer from extremely fine hair that makes a much tinier bun :/

  17. You have such lovely porcelain skin, don't ruin it with fake tan! I'm very pale but my skin tone isn't beautiful and even like yours. I'm so jealous!
    Your hair looks really cute up in a bun too.

  20. This is crazy. I came from a Topshop sale awhile ago and saw this long blouse (but in pink) and your floaty pink dress a few posts below on sale (50%). I was super tempted to by both but resisted. Now that I see them in action on your blog, I am like WHY! :P

    I just discovered this blog and I immediately like your style. Following you!
