royal-wedding-ness


Just spotted this little 'Royal Wedding Kit' on Anya Hidmarch online shop... isn't it adorable! I am totally obsessing over the royal weeding now, and with only a few days to go, I cannot control my girlish excitement! I'm planning to go up to London on the day with a friend to join in with the celebrations, probably somewhere like Hyde Park or Trafalgar Square where there will be screenings of the event. These past few weeks, I have been avidly keeping myself up to date with all the wedding goings-on, and bought myself the latest issue of Vogue magazine (the one with my most favourite model, Natalia Vodianova on the cover), which, unsurprisingly is a wedding special! Doesn't she look serene! I now cannot wait for friday... roll on the Royal Wedding! x

moi je joue...

Just a little bit inspired by Brigitte Bardot on my little shopping outing today. Picked up a couple of pieces in New Look, including a pair of skinny combat trousers, a long sleeve 'breton' style top (of which I already have too many), a rusty red crop vest top with ties, and a white crew neck jumper (which I thought would be perfect lightweight coverage for early summer). I also bought a couple of Barry M Nailpaints, which are great for their bold, eye-catching colour, in shades 'Coral' and 'Mushroom'. I've also started to get into the habit of putting my hair up into messy pony tails, with some curly strands coming loose around my neckline and ears, tied with a little lace ribbon in a bow, something I noticed from a sixties photo series by Sam Haskins titled 'Gill'. Pretty happy with this little capsule wardrobe, I think the colours complement each other perfectly... I think Brigitte would approve.
