Weekending

We've been surprised by warm sunshine, tiny Shetland ponies and lot of (too much) Tequila - A few snaps from the weekend. It's been a busy one...

I could sleep for a week - the signs of a good weekend to me! Now it's the first week of my summer holidays, got a dissertation to write and a bag full of clothes to go on ebay. 

What have you guys been up to this weekend? I'd love to know...

I've been shopping #9

I've been going through a bit of a lull in terms of my wardrobe recently - sometimes I think it's because I study fashion, I start to lose interest in buying clothes for myself as I'm faced with it everyday. Then I blame the weather, just ridiculously unpredictable, I never know what to wear.

Whilst out shopping the other day, I spotted these shirts in the window of GAP - now, I can't say I'm not a regular GAP shopper, I think the last item I'd warn from there was most probably from the kids section. But, I think I've rekindled my love for it. I adore the two things I've bought and will definitely be returning. Take a look...

So, I definitely got that colour thing I was after. Both shirts were in the sale and I'm pretty sure are still in store for around £20-£30. They're the "boyfriend fit" so a really comfy but flattering loose style, I love all the subtle detailing, lots of buttons and tucks. Just a really great all round basic for summer.

What have you guys been buying for Summer? I'd love to know...

Waiting for summer...

Yesterday was the first day for a couple of weeks that it wasn't bitterly cold - here in the UK you have to make the most of these kinda' days, as they don't seem to come around too often. I'm not really a summer girl. Don't get my wrong I enjoy it, I just prefer the Autumn months, but recently I've been craving the sun and any bright colour I can get my hands on (hence my neon scarf). That's why I love these photos from yesterday's late afternoon trip to Penarth, it gives me faith that the summer is soon to come. 

What's Spring time like where you live?

Fur coat at the beach..

It's been a bit of a hectic week, Matt and I have moved into our new flat, so lots of moving and shaking has been occurring. To get a bit of fresh air and to give our legs a stretch we headed down to Llantwit Major beach. Even though it's March, here in Wales it's still bloody cold, so I wrapped myself up in my mums fur coat (we've done a bit of a coat swapsie) and braced myself for the bitter coastal wind.

There's definitely something about going to the beach on a cold day, everything seems so dramatic, the waves crashing and the wind belting across the sand. It's so atmospheric.

Hope you've all had a brilliant weekend,

Witley Court...

Today truly felt like there was an essence of Spring in the air - beautiful clear blue skies with a gentle breeze.  Miracle weather like this doesn't visit my part of the world on a regular basis, so Matt and I headed of to British heritage site Witley Court to welcome Spring time along.

Set in the Worcestershire countryside, Witley Court was sadly ruined by a fire in 1937, it's now left for the public to visit as a part of the English Heritage group. We wondered around the ruins and imagined the banquets and the parties that were held by the families of the British regency in what was once such a magnificent building.

How did you guys spend your weekend? I'd love to know...

New sheepskin coat

My mum has always told me that there's nothing warmer than sheepskin. Taking this with a pinch of salt, I bought my first sheepskin coat and I can't deny.. I haven't taken it off since. I had been lusting after an Acne version ever since spotting it in Copenhagen, but sadly as necessities like food, water and rent come before desirable Acne jackets, I settled for a £20 one found in a charity shop. Take a look...

It is the most cosy, comfortable and useful pieces of clothing I have ever owned, plus I think it looks pretty cool too. Luckily the one I found is in a classic cut and colour, it goes with everything from jeans to dresses making it extremely versatile. Sheepskin in shops can be very expensive, so take a look in charity shops and flea markets, they come up a lot cheaper, also remember to look in the mens section too...

Snow day

Having a Birthday in January can always bring unexpected weather - Yesterday I celebrated my 21st. I had a lovely time opening gifts and drinking champagne with my family, just what I wanted. However, this morning I woke up to a heavy blanket of snow covering as far as I could see, it scuppered a few plans and living in the countryside it made us completely housebound. I'm not the biggest fan of snow, but if you can't beat it, join it hey - Here's a few photos of the day (using my new Birthday present)!

As you may have guessed by the hint above, I got given a new camera for my Birthday. Today was the perfect opportunity to get to grips with it, dodging my two wild dogs Bruno and Hector as they darted around in the snow. 

How has the weather been for you guys? Have you got any lovely photos in the snow?

ps. Yes. My dogs do have scarves on!  

Wintery weekend

Before I start, I hope you all had a super Christmas and have got some crazy NYE plans set for tonight! My Christmas was lovely, I spent it with my family, with the added extras of my older brother, his wife and two adorable daughters this year. I thoroughly enjoyed watching my four year old niece wide eyed and squealing after tearing the paper off her My Little Pony castle. Oh to be that age again!
After all the festive hype, it was lovely to have a relaxed weekend with no plans. I always feel (and quite rightly so) that I completely over indulge in the weeks running up to December 25th, so a dose of fresh air and a stretch of the legs is always needed. Me and Matt headed to a local town named Ledbury to have a browse up and down the cobbled streets. Take a look...

If you've been in the U.K the past couple of weeks, you'd know it's been raining cats and dogs everyday since I can remember, however this is evidence of one of the only days that it didn't choose to pour down. Typical Britt moaning about the weather hey!?

What have you guys been up to this Christmas? Do you have any plans for NYE?

 I'd love to hear from you...

Westonbirt Arboretum

Feels like I'm completely out of blogging sync this week, it's been a particularly busy one with a looming Uni deadline tomorrow and a tiring but fun trip to London (which I'll post about this week) Here's just a sneak peek into this past weekend. Me and my parents took a trip to Westonbirt Arboretum - we've been wanting to go in the Autumn time for a while now as it's always been so highly recommended. It certainly didn't disappoint and made for a perfect October day out... Take a look.

There were one million and one photo opportunities around the arboretum, the colours, textures and fallen leaves were so inviting. The atmosphere of site was also really lively, I can imagine it being lovely all year round, each season offering something completely different every time.

Have you ever been to an Arboretum? Or have you been anywhere interesting recently? I'd love to know...
