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.
Stripy top and cardigan from Topshop
Star clad dress from Motel
Pumps from Office
Plenty of bows in this outfit =)
Scallop edge crop top from ASOS
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!!

Cider and vodka cocktail, best thing ever!
Myself, the sisters and cousin Little H (there are a lot of people with names beginning with H in our family, little and old)
In the kitchen with Mum and our waitress (Auntie H in the background). I have a spaz face but this was the only picture I had from our tour! We were totally in the way but nosing around the kitchen was super fun and really interesting.
In a 'hip and trendy' pub down the road from Maze getting some CHEAP drinks after the pricey meal! Thanks Dad =)

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.
The head lining band was called Ape Party and low and behold they all wore masks. It was a pretty terrifying sight but kinda cool nonetheless. We played some embarrassing games of pool and decided to form our own band called Owl Party. We will all wear owl masks, have owly names (mine is snowy cos I'm the only blonde) and all our songs will be about owls!!! Apparently I'm going to be lead guitar, S on bass, G on drums and without her knowledge K will be the singer. Why are we so mental? Ask G!!
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
