I've been pretty busy during the last week, my dissertation is in full swing and I'm in the lab everyday (except today...) but with it being so nice and hot I try to get out and about in the afternoons and not staying cooped up inside working all the time. I've also been trying to mix my outfit choices up and try different combinations I wouldn't normally put together.
I like this stars and stripes outfit, I'm not trying to channel America or anything just mixing up patterns and shapes.
Star clad dress from Motel
Pumps from Office
Floral culottes from River Island
Pocahontus shoes from Topshop
I'm not really a crop top kinda girl but I do love this sheer pink one, I wear it with a white vest underneath and high waist shorts to hide my stomach!!! As the temperatures continue to soar all I want to wear is shorts and beach wear but this isn't practical so I have to find alternatives.
I bought a pair of £4 black cycling shorts from the H! by Henry Holland (again...) sale last week and have worn them non stop this weekend! They are so practical with those dresses and tees that are a little too short and it's too hot out for leggings/tights. I don't have any photos but I did wear them with an oversized tee one day and a checkered shirt with a mini skirt the next.
My weekend at home was pretty hectic too, we had a big family outing to Maze restaurant on Friday night with my auntie, uncle and cousin. We all had the tasting menu and it was incredible! Yum yum yum. We were very lucky to have a table with windows next to the kitchen so we could see what was going on but not quite as incredible as the table IN the kitchen!!

Maze is a Gordon Ramsey restaurant so the night was even more exciting because he is one of my favourite TV chefs! Unfortunately he wasn't there that night (he probably never is anyway) but the evening was still wonderful, delicious and fun fun fun! I wore my Topshop hair band, River Island dress with the ASOS crop top underneath and my trusty Pierre Hardy for Gap wedges.
Sunday was spent watching the tragic football in one of our locals before a traditional Hobson family BBQ. All in all a great few days =)
Back to Guildford means back to work now but at least I have a functional computer x
I love your stars and stripes outfit, and your family look really lovely, sounds like you had a good evening!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you reckon to the final Dr Who episode? I loved it!
I thought it was incredibly random and a fair bit confusing at times but I still really enjoyed it! I think they go a bit over board on the technology sometimes in order to allow pretty much ANYTHING to happen ie River's time and space manipulator thingy! In all honesty I haven't enjoyed this season as much as previously but I'm glad the finale was a success =)
ReplyDeletei think the top outfit is one of my favourites so far :) xxx
