*I'm Walking on Sunshine and Don't it Feel Good!*

What absolutely glorious weather we are having! I don't know about you but all this sunny weather puts me in such a good mood! I've got endless amounts of reading, essay-writing, exam revision, job applications and interviews to prepare for, and yet I've still got a smile on my face as there is sunshine and a big blue sky! I hope you are all able to enjoy it? What better way is there to enjoy the sunshine than take Rufus out for a walk in the beautiful country park. Here are some of my photos from our walk...

Rufus loved his walk, especially when we bumped into a lovely golden retriever, I think Rufus made a new friend :)

One of my favourite views in the country park. It makes walking up all the steps and steep hills worth it!


The white blossom and yellow gorse flowers were beautiful!



It still makes me sad to look at the poor burnt-out pier :(


I love living in the Old Town, everywhere is so pretty and the perfect walking distance from shops, bars and restaurants.

How have you been enjoying the sunshine?

A Post for My Mum - Trees of Horsforth Park

This is a little post for my mum. Yesterday was such a beautiful day that I decided to take myself and my camera down to Horsforth park. My mum loves trees so I thought I'd take a few photos for her to enjoy! The sky was such a gorgeous blue colour, and although it was still quite chilly in the shade, the sunshine was glorious! These are my favourite kind of days where it's cool but sunny.


The spring flowers were making an appearance and lots of daffodils were almost ready to open. There's nothing a little splash of colour to brighten my day!

Pretty Floral Dress to Welcome the Spring Sunshine!



What a glorious sunny spring day it is today! This morning I handed in an assignment that I had been battling with so I went into town to treat myself to something pretty... and Peacocks certainly did not dissappoint with this gorgeous dress! I had to buy it... I justified my spending with the fact that I can use student discount in Peacocks so it doesn't count ;) Plus it comes with a belt, so I'm getting a little freebie in there too.

I love this cream floral print. My wardrobe, expecially my dresses wardrobe (yes, I have a whole separate wardrobe full of dresses!) is beginning to feature a lot of dresses from Peacocks at the moment: they're cheaper than most places and have a good range of styles and patterns that appeal to me.

Not the most fabulous photo of me... I'm not as photogenic as many other bloggers out there, so I tend to avoid outfit posts. But after putting the dress on as soon as I got home I couldnt resist sharing mm love for it with you all!

Not only is the dress available in the cream florals, but also in this very cute blue and white bird print too! Plus it's inexplicably £2 cheaper for the blue version... I think I know what I'll be buying next! But for now I'm going to put on a warm cardigan and have a sunny walk in the park to enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!
