I spent the entire month of March complaining about the non stop showers. But much to my relief when all of the rain did finally stop, wild flowers had sprung up along the walking trail near my house. Which is why I found it absoloutely necessary to humiliate myself in front of all the Saturday…

I’ve wanted a playsuit like this for a really long time! There’s so many vintage photos from the 1940s of playsuits like this, they really are a must have wardrobe item.

Waking up early in the morning may be painful, but definitely worth it. A hot summer day here often starts with a beautiful misty morning and gentle golden light.

By the time October rolls around I’m usually too hung over from the year that’s passed to do anything for Halloween. Every year I plan Halloween themed outfits I want to blog and then I never get around to doing it. But for whatever reason, this year I’m feeling different. Maybe it’s the result of…

This spot really needs no introduction, as I’ve taken photos here every September for the past few years. Except last year, because I didn’t have any outfits that complimented the cherry blossoms. This year however, I had too many options so it was hard to choose! When The Seamstress of Bloomsbury released the new Rose…
