Hands Up if You're Enjoying The Sunshine!?






Hands up if you're enjoying the sunshine!? We certainly were today. We dipped our toes in the ridiculously cold sea (it looked to inviting!) we ate Italian ice cream, lounged on the West hill and had a thoroughly sunny time!

What did you do today to make the most of the sunny weather?

Enjoying the Sunshine!

What glorious weather we're having!! What's the betting that this is as good as it gets now for the whole summer! Everyone had hit the beaches and parks in droves today, you've got to make the most of it while it lasts I say! I decided to take a break from uni work, essays and revision for a few hours while my little sister was down to visit. We spent the day being tourists in our own town :)

You can't beat an icy cold drink on a hot day!

We stopped for some delicious ice cream at Di Pola's. The ice cream is lovingly home made and delicious, I had one scoop of zesty orange and one of chocolate and Fay had malteasers and mint choc chip...

*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?

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!

Summer Garden!

I have been inspired by the beautiful weather to write a summer garden blog post. To prepare for the summer weather I have given our garden a good tidy and sort out. I started thinking... there is definitely something missing from our garden... colour! For me summer is about bright colours and sunshine. But my garden, (lovely as it is) is green, green, and more green. So I made myself a little visual wish list on Polyvore to help brighten up my garden this summer.


I love the mini BBQ perfect for a garden that is short on space, and of course no BBQ should be without this gorgeous floral apron!


What I am looking forward to most is tea parties in the garden this summer, and what tea party is complete without cupcakes, tea pots, cake stands... and bunnies!

Summery florals and sunshine!

Is the summer finally here!? I'm not going to waste any time and I'm going to make the most of the sunshine while it's here... after all who knows when it will show it's happy face again!? So I have put on a floral summer dress, pretty little bow shoes and I'm going to put on some sun cream, go out and enjoy the sunshine! I suggest you all do the same! Here is my summer outfit for today:

Sunshine and Cake in Wandsworth Common

I am visiting my lovely sister The Style PA in London for two weeks while I am on placement at London Aquarium. It was my first day and the weather was gorgeous, not a cloud in the sky and definitely T-shirt and shorts temperature! So me and Jenny headed along to Wandsworth Common and stopped off at Crumpet for an icy cold Coke and a slice of cake.

Icy cold Coke and scrummy carrot cake!

close up... the lemon icing was lovely!

To finish off our afternoon and to enjoy the sunshine to the fullest we spread a blanket in the common, ate olives, and did crossword puzzles... what can I say? we live life on the edge!
