Jumper Dress

This recent hot weather is making me look like a mug with my backlog of outfit photos from a fresher time. Still, I've got a lot of love for this jumper dress. It's really simple but has this nice quilted arm detail which makes it a little more unique. Going back to the weather issues, I've realised that there is about a five week window between coat weather and no coat weather, which means my lighter jacket collection barely gets a look in. Poor buggers.

This hairstyle is one of my new faves. I used to do it on just one side and then realised it's, like, a million times better doubled up. A plaited updo like this is ideal for hot weather - sweaty neck no more! Plus it's super easy and works well on long hair (long hair ain't always easy to style y'know.)

P.S. If you noticed my alien hand in the first picture, I'm really sorry. I don't know what it is playing at and I can see how genuinely troubling and frightening that could be to an onlooker. So, again, my apologies.

A Trip to Torquay

A couple of weeks ago we made a little trip down to Torquay. James' work holds a 'dinner dance' every year which I posted about here in 2013. On the way down we visited The Fish Shed in Topsham for some top notch fish and chips. It was pretty good but I think it would have tasted that bit nicer had it been the middle of July and we could have sat out on the terrace.

When we arrived in Torquay my wishing for a sea view room had apparently worked and we had a balcony/terrace type thing so it seemed the right thing to do to take some outfit snaps. 

Well just look at that view!

The evening wasn't really anything to write home about unfortunately. I was still getting over a cold and really couldn't get in the drinking spirit, so after trying to find a decent light to take a picture of my new River Island dress we gave in and went to bed. We did, however, win a box of Green and Blacks chocolate in the raffle, so all was not lost.

Vintage Levi Jacket

Back in April I went to Barcelona. On one of the wandering around little streets days, I came across a slightly musty smelling vintage shop where I found a selection of vintage denim Levi jackets. I'd been after a really oversized denim jacket for a while but didn't expect to end up with an XL (it's pretty roomy). I really love the wash of it though, so I can cope with a bit of largeness.

In my previous post I mentioned the second hand shop I found in Marbella called Utopia and this 'Miami' top was the other item I picked up. On reflection, I think I had gotten a little overexcited and I'm not sure I would normally have picked up a top like this. Hmmm will have to try some different styling, as you can see I allowed my 90s grunge tendencies to take hold here.
