<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Autumn is the best season. Halloween and the annual watching of hocus pocus (best Halloween film ever), fancy dress and pumpkin flavoured goods. Bonfire night, mulled wine and free fireworks. The colours, the weather, the getting out of the cold weather wardrobe. All good things. Especially since this is the first year in a long long time we have had a real summer. I mean it was 32 degrees, that never happens. And it's still not really cold. Hence the above outfit being acceptable in the third week of October. I've had this jacket of my mum's for a while. It's a perfect fit but needed a repair which I put off too long. Happily it is now fixed. These boots are doubly old, I bought them approximately 4 years ago at a jumble and the have now given up and fallen apart. An excuse for new shoes? The blouse is new to me, I found it at a jumble sale a week earlier. The label says Pepperhill California. I hope it belonged to a true Californian Hippy. At the same jumble I found some simialr items, I hope they all came form the same well dressed woman.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">There is no single reason for my not blogging through 2013 so far. I've moved jobs, but that's about it as far as big changes go. I've noticed lots of blogs I have followed posting less, maybe it's just the Autumn of style blogging? I guess we shall see.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Happy New Year all. I've managed to not take a single outfit photo for over a month somehow. Well actually its because I leave for and return from work in the dark but that's no excuse. I have had pretty great festive time. I seriously over indulged with food, particularly puddings... I received some nice gifts, got to celebrate with various friends and family an also went to my first blitz party. It was awesome and I am definitely going again. Outfit wise I'm predictably still all about mini skirts and shirts. I actually really like this outfit, which is rare. I like to wear slightly off colours and colour combinations and this fits with that. Also the cardigan goes so well with the boots. The cardigan was a pre-Christmas gift from my talented knitter of a Grandmother. I love the rust colour with the flecks of blue, and the mohair is so soft and warm. The boots were a long awaited for purchase. I have wanted a pair of heeled ankle boots for about a year but couldn't find any that I really liked enough to fork out £50-£80 on. So I resisted. Then I saw these in a local charity shop. I turned them down because they cost £20 (!) To me that is way too much for a charity shop pair of shoes. However after going out for the day I concluded I needed them. When I got back to the shop another girl was trying them on. As you can see they luckily (for me) didn't fit and I got them. I'm not sure what anyone else thinks about this, but I am starting to find charity shops are pricing me out of purchasing. For example a second hand office pair of shoes for £25 or an H&M dress for £15. I know that's not that much really but to me the joy of charity shops is the combination of giving to charity plus getting a bargain and the bargains don't seem to be as available these days. Obviously I want the charity to have as much cash as possible but I feel I would probably buy more if things were a little bit less. Any thoughts on this?</span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Also Bat for Lashes latest album The Haunted Album is so so good.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This outfit is a kind of homage to the grey weather we've had a lot of lately. I really try not to wear too many very dark colours during the winter as I think I feel happier in neutrals and lighter colours, especially when I'm getting up every day in the dark. I love this coat but haven't worn it much in the five years I've had it. It's mostly due to the extra large collar, but pinning it under seems to have worked. It's probably a man's jacket from the late 60's and has a label with 'Dandy, Kings Road' on it. I may have to wear it on a visit to it's spiritual home. I love a bit of history to my clothing. Also these Clarks shoes are the best, super comfortable and also go with everything, who new metallic silver could be such a useful shade.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I've had a busy November, celebrating my birthday and also Thanksgiving. I went to an American friend's Thanksgiving dinner and it was amazing! It's kind of a shame we have no national holiday with a proper feast attached to it. I had the best Oreo and Raspberry cheesecake I imagine I will ever eat and I even sort of enjoyed the sweet potato and marshmallow dish. I also had a really good birthday with some lovely thoughtful gifts and a lot of chocolate cake. I like to treat myself to a birthday dress each year but this year I made one and then didn't wear it, sometimes I lose courage wearing homemade things out and about. It's quite an interesting time capsule of my style, seeing what I have worn on my past few birthdays. If anything it's not changed much, I wore the same boots two years in a row. Speaking of boots I finally found the perfect pair of ankle boots after resisting any and all high street versions, I found a great pair in a local charity shop, they will no doubt be on this blog a lot this winter.</span></div>

This has pretty much been my uniform these past few weeks, shirt + mini skirt + cardigan + tights + boots. I like it as it makes getting dressed so easy. I have quite a weakness for printed cotton shirts and plain silk ones, so I am trying to actually wear them all. I went to a couple of jumble sales in October and stocked up on Jaeger shirts and wool jumpers to see me through this potentially very cold winter. I also found a stash of books including Joan Didion's 'Slouching towards Bethlehem' which has a note from the previous owner from 24th November 1979 about a youth hostel in Germany. I love things like that, makes reading this particular copy even better. Also reading a book that was written about the 60's in the 60's is so interesting, given that we now have some historical context on what became of the counter-cultural movement. I also went to see 'Everything is moving' at the Barbican, which was great and very interesting with quite a diverse selection of photographers represented. This outfit however was worn yesterday for a leisurely pub lunch and the fireworks at Battersea Park. A great way to spend a Saturday. Also this necklace - does anyone know what it might be made of? It's very light and I don't think it's stone. A friend suggested it's made of Antler, but have just no idea.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So I took a rather late Summer holiday this year, heading to the undoubtedly beautiful shoes of Lake Garda and also the Romantic city that is Verona. I had a great time and it's been tough returning to the normal working world. We stayed in a hotel with pretty spectacular views and visited some of the local cultural highlights, including the André Heller Botanical gardens, which took us a while to find. The place is magical and bizarre, for example there are stone heads spitting water at each other, many koi carp filled ponds, mosaics, cacti gardens and a couple of Keith Haring sculptures (like the one in the photo.) We also went to another bizarre attraction - <a href="http://www.vittoriale.it/index.php?lingua=en">La Vittoriale</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I don't really know how to describe the place, it belonged to </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriele_d%27Annunzio" title="Gabriele d'Annunzio">Gabriele d'Annunzio</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">who is buried in the mausoleum there (photo 5) that he had built. The estate also contains an amphitheater, house, and part of a battle ship, plus a lot of references to Fascism. The views in the area are totally stunning and we took a slightly scary drive up a mountain to get a better look. We also visited a lemon house and took a boat across the Lake. We ended our trip in Verona, which is lovely and feels like a film set, all the buildings are so pretty in pinkish marble colours. We did go to the infamous Juliet's balcony, but I found the hundreds of padlocks and graffiti from real life lovers a lot more interesting. I wish we'd had longer, but at least I got a little sun before Autumn hits. </span></div>

<br />Time really is going too fast at the moment. I saved these look book photos off the <a href="http://www.toast.co.uk/">Toast</a> website a couple of weeks ago and they have already been changed for a new set. I really loves these photos, they make me want to go visit a mountain range, or at least spend plenty of time outdoors all the while wearing all these perfect autumn pieces.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">To Standen once more. It's becoming a sort of yearly ritual to visit in the tail end of Summer/start of Autumn. I last went at the start of October 2011 in a heatwave and before that in September 2010, captured in this <a href="http://thedandeliongirl.blogspot.co.uk/2010/09/in-orchard.html">post </a>- the bees are still at work! Standen was as gorgeous as ever, wish I could live there sometimes. Also the shaded area full of ferns was great in the heat. Clothing wise, lately I have been really drawn to a palette of blues/greens and neutrals. I think they are the colours I feel best in. Much like this <a href="http://www.humansofnewyork.com/2011/12/12/the-green-lady-midtown/">lady</a> who feels best in Kelly Green. The concept of only wearing one colour really intrigues me. I think I would seriously struggle but since different colours do effect my mood it makes a certain sense. In keeping with my colour direction, I bought a </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hobbs </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">blue two piece outfit from a charity shop. Normally I would think a two piece means a jacket and skirt/trousers but in this case it was a polka dot shirt and linen skirt, pretty odd but fine by me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"> I think one of the most interesting things about having a blog and getting to look back at old posts is seeing the changes. For me it's noticing that I have become way fussier about what I purchase (well to a degree) and I'm definitely looking for quality more than ever. Not so much from Primark round here these days. Could just be a sign of getting older though. Although September is just around the corner I don't feel</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"> done with Summer just yet, time is passing too fast.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Not really an outfit post today, instead a post about a place. Lat Sunday I took a trip to the </span><a href="http://www.barbican.org.uk/" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Barbican</a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">, the large creative venue in London. I've only been once before to see South Pacific last year and loved the architecture and huge space. This time I was going to see the Bauhaus: Art as Life before it closed. It's something I have long been interested in, so was keen to catch the exhibition. The exhibition was good although I felt like I still didn't really know all that much by the end of it. What I found far more inspiring in many ways was The Conservatory. I had noticed it from outside before (first photo), but didn't know if it was open to the public. Turns out it is, but only on Sundays, which was lucky for me. It's amazing. There is a whole room just for cacti/succulents, an aviary and two ponds. The rest of the week it's available for private hire, but at least you get one day, and it's free. I love that there is this tropical oasis in the heart of such a busy city. It was so peaceful and I will definitely be going again.</span>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15033932984369565449noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005132444257630307.post-28677887737742570772012-08-01T21:56:00.003+01:002012-08-01T21:57:24.449+01:00Caught by the river<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well summer is getting along, and I don't really know where I've been. The sun has barely been present but summer feels like more of an attitude than anything else. Being in London as I am, there is of course the Olympics going on, and on Saturday I got a little taste of it all, with the cycling event route going right past my front door pretty much. There was even a giant Wenlock mascot for us to take photos with. I didn't get any photos of the cyclists (they are pretty fast) but the one of the crowd sums up the general atmosphere. One of the best parts was actually all the police going past on their bikes, doing regal waves and high-fiving the crowd. The festive atmosphere lasted all day as the circular route meant they passed back through in the afternoon. Whilst waiting for them we went over the river for some art supplies, and a very quick photo by the Thames. I would quite like to visit the Olympic park, but no tickets for me. Has anyone else been?</div>

So the last month kind of swept past. A few things have happened since my last post such as -</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
- A mini heat wave and wearing sundresses and sandals</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
-Visiting <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/ham-house/">this</a> National Trust house and not taking photos</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
- The diamond jubilee and attendant festivities such as wearing role family masks and going to Battersea park in the rain to watch the flotilla</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
- Watching moonrise kingdom (amazing as expected)</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
- Barbeques and birthday fun times</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
- Several new vintage and other wardrobe additions - like these tennis shoes for running around in this summer - if we ever actually get one.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
- Designing Women, a totally <a href="http://www.ftmlondon.org/exhibitions/detail/?ID=75">brilliant </a>exhibition. I went yesterday which was the final day, swept up an hour and half before it closed but it was so worth it. I love that whole design style/era and really enjoyed seeing these beautiful textiles up close. I was left totally inspired. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
- Sewing the above dress. It took me about a month but I really wanted to try and finish it properly and not be fast and careless. I even hand stitched the hem. The fabric is vintage and a gift from my Grandmother and I intend to wear it next time I visit her. the pattern is actually an abstract strawberry print and not too far away from the style of some of the Designing Women artists.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">That's about it. I am really hoping for some warmer weather as my abundant collection of sundresses needs to put into action. How is everyone else coping with the unseasonal weather?</span></div>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15033932984369565449noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005132444257630307.post-60283877788417853572012-05-20T18:09:00.000+01:002012-05-20T18:09:25.351+01:00Gorse<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can't quite believe I am still wearing tights at the tail end of May, where is the sun? My mum actually got me these tights and some other colours on sale, I like the strange mustard-y colour. Plus they go with my latest jumble sale bag, found yesterday. It's Etienne Aigner and was only 50p. I went to a few jumble sales yesterday but didn't really find anything too spectacular, it is really getting tough to find anything pre-1980's in these places. On the other hand, I did find a small haul of 1970s Puffin children's book with the most interesting illustrations. I think they might look good framed too. I am undecided on this necklace - I am not usually into such bold jewellery. I think i chose it because it reminded me of some great 70s necklaces I saw in the British design exhibition at the V&A, which is very much worth visiting in my view. Not much else really, I've been trying to really embrace all that living in London has to offer and trying to find my place within that. On that note I off to the South Bank for dinner now. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Well the weather acting like its Autumn is making it hard for me to know what to wear right now. I keep wanting to wear light pastel coloured things but end up back in darker colours and more cold weather wear. It's not so bad since it means I can wear this skirt. I found it in a charity shop and took it in a little at the sides and now I really like it. It's a not too in your face floral pattern and it's quilted, I like the different textures. The silk top is a great colour but it has obviously suffered some bleach or something and has some green marks on it. I was thinking of trying to dye it or bleach it another colour, anyone have any experience or tips about dying fabric?</span></div>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15033932984369565449noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005132444257630307.post-82626853465158957402012-04-25T21:28:00.000+01:002012-04-25T21:28:38.934+01:00Polesden Lacey<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

More National Trust! This time we visited Polesden Lacey, an Edwardian House and gardens. We accidentally went on a day when the house was closed, but it was still interesting to explore the gardens and see all the tulips. There were some garden games in one part, where I took an embarrassingly long time to throw a rope hoop over a stick. I think we will have to go back to look into the house, which is meant to be a particularly good example of Edwardian interiors. Just a simple outfit for the hit and miss Spring weather. These H&M jeans were a suprise answer to some higher waist+slim leg jean I have been after for a while. The shirt is one of my mini collection (is three a collection?) of Liberty shirts. I like the tiny flower print and there is a discreet ruffle trim to collar and cuffs, it's the small details that make me love vintage so much.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">I feel I should apologise for the silly blog title, I just couldn't resist. By way of explanation - these photos were taken Saturday when we visited a Snuff Mill. We didn't actually go in it for some reason, but explored the park and empty house nearby. The whole area is National Trust but open to the public and is called <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/morden-hall-park/">Morden Hall Park</a>. It's a pretty place, the white iron work bridges and little ponds in particular. The house in the pictures looks fairly old but is out of use, and looking inside it seems like it was perhaps a hotel, I'm curious about it since it's unusual to find unused buildings on National Trust sites. This outfit is certainly basic, I have been drawn to clean lines and work wear lately which may explain it. I had been after a pinafore type dress for a while after seeing all the great ones <a href="http://afinedayforsailing.blogspot.co.uk/">Isla</a> wears. Luckily I found this Laura Ashley number in the great jumble sale I went to in Feb. Amusingly the lady who sold it to me said ' You do realise this is a maternity dress?' I said yes I was going to take it up and in, which I have. got to see the potential in clothes that may not seem right straight away. Although it is still a bit loose. The belt I've had for years and recently rediscovered in a Spring clean. I like it when you find forgotten favourites.</span></div>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15033932984369565449noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005132444257630307.post-25817085936888147062012-03-25T20:45:00.000+01:002012-03-25T20:45:18.183+01:00That 70s top<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;">Yes I am happy Spring is finally showing itself around here. I think this is the first weekend I've ventured out without a cardigan for many months. I do wear a lot of cardigans though. I've had a very soothing weekend basking in the sunlight. Today was very lazy and we just wandered around town, had some pretty good lunch and lay in the park reading. My kind of Sunday. Although I meant to do some sewing/altering which I haven't quite managed. It's good to finally be able to wear this <i>very</i> 70s top. I found it maybe a year or two ago in a Devon charity shop. It has a matching high waisted maxi skirt with embroidery around the hem, however the waist is about 23 inches and so no good for me. One of these days I may make it a knee length skirt by taking the waist down but I have more pressing alterations before then. I am fond of the colour and the giant sleeves but I am quite uncomfortable in anything cropped so I had to wait until I found some high waisted jeans. Luckily my mother obliged by giving me an old pair of hers, I just took in the legs and now I have perfect high waisted jeans. I also think it's funny these are actual 'mom jeans'. I think I should probably have worn my clogs too, just to get a more 70s vibe altogether. Happy Spring everyone!</span></div>

It's been a busy couple of weeks. On Sunday I came back from a little holiday to <a href="http://www.centerparcs.co.uk/">Center Parcs.</a> I have never been to a Center Parcs before and when I was a child I use to think the glass dome containing the swimming pool covered the entire area, like a giant bio-dome. I still find it disappointing this is not the case! However I had a really good time, it rained but we still managed to get in plenty of cycling, badminton, tennis, swimming and mini golf. Working all the time inside an office just makes you crave the outdoors and it was just what was needed. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I had grand plans of outfit posts by our villa overlooking a little pond but that never happened. Instead these photos from the previous Sunday, when I made my first trip to infamous Battersea Car boot sale. I was surprised ta how busy the place was, still my friends and I picked up some bargains. We particularly enjoyed rummaging through a suitcase full of vintage patterns, which yielded some great styles, including a sailor coat and a cut out mod all in one. I also found some Clarks brogues for £5 and some nice blue fabric. After having a through look round we stopped at a good local cafe for pasta and ice cream. It was a great day and I'm looking forward to going again sometime.</span> </div>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15033932984369565449noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005132444257630307.post-33959283336035717172012-03-11T18:40:00.000+00:002012-03-11T18:40:46.367+00:00Keep making me laugh<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;">How cute is this little Fiat? </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sadly it isn't mine but isn't it great. It's been parked in our road a lot lately so I thought I'd go for a picture. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">My attempts at documenting my outfits more frequently aren't going too well so far! This is what I wore yesterday,hopefully the end of jumper season. I got this wool jumper with the rest of the great haul at the jumble sale a few weeks back. I mainly bought it for the label. Since jumbles are so frantic the label is often my only chance to see if something is vintage. The skirt is a very useful 1990s Gap number, good for all seasons. The clogs are maybe a bit 'off trend' now but I don't really care, they are very comfy and I still enjoy them. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">In other news, something you won't know about me is that I <i>really</i> like Zach Braff. I like Scrubs but it is mainly down to his film Garden State (which I adore). So when I heard he was bringing his new play 'All new people' to London I knew I would be going. We went last night and I really enjoyed it, the whole cast were great and it was funny. After the show I waited outside with a lot of other people and he came out for a bit to sign autographs. You can imagine how happy I was to be able to meet him and get his autograph and one (very blurry) photo! He was nice and spent a lot of time thanking everyone for coming and posing for photos.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am finally doing my seasonal 360 where I want to wear dark grungy colours in winter and soft off colours in Spring. Since it's not really warm yet I am making do with the colour combination of mint + red, which are surprisingly good together. As evidenced by this </span><a href="http://labelleoiselle.blogspot.com/2011/10/if-i-were-teacher.html" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">lady</a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">. I got both the shirt and the cardigan at a super awesome jumble sale a couple of weeks ago. It was more expensive than ususal - some items were £2! (To me this is a lot for a jumble sale but cheap compared to many charity shops so all is well) There was a funny old lady there who kept throwing any 'young looking' things in my direction and asking if I'd like them. Amongst them was this cardigan. I recognized the brand TSE, who do 100% cashmere cardigans so happily snapped it up for 50p. I also found a beautiful 1930s crepe blouse which I will have to wear soon. I need to document my outfits more often now it's light, and take more pictures generally. For example I was at a party <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">dressed as Patti Smith and have no photographic evidence, need to work on that.</span></span></span></div>

I wore this with the plan of going to see the Yayoi Kusama exhibition at the Tate Modern. However I wasn't really prepared for the size of the queue (in fairness it did only start two days ago) and decided I will go back a bit later to see it. Instead I spend some time looking at the permanent collections. I realised I haven't been to the Tate modern in over a year. Which is pretty bad when it's only half an hour away. I found this visit it particularly inspiring and in fact the whole day, walking along embankment in the afternoon sun, browsing the book stalls, taking everything in was like a much needed breath of fresh air. My camera battery wasn't charged either so I took my sketch book instead which makes a change. Sometime I really miss being an art student. I think that stretch of the river is one of my favourite places to be in London. The view over the river up from the London eye to St.Paul's always reminds me that London can be such an incredible place to live in.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In the second week of January we took a short holiday to Devon/Cornwall and the scenery of which I never tire. The Jurassic coast is just so beautiful. These photos also prove that the British sea side does have its moments, and the sun does actually come out occasionally to dazzling effect. I even saw one brave girl swimming in Cornwall. I know it's a mild winter but still I was impressed. As I have said these desert boots haven't left my feet much for the last month or so, (as you can see, my boyfriend is also a fan.) They are just so comfortable, and as I get older, comfort starts to mean more than it once did. No more ballet flats in in minus temperatures anyway. This outfit isn't much, but I do like the velvet waistcoat, found for £1.50 in a charity shop. I also wore it over this dress, and felt like I should be a 1970s country singer, which is no bad thing. I am on the hunt for some straight leg jeans that sit higher on the waist than most jeans. I have only seen some in M&S that weren't quite right and also American Apparel which are a bit much so if anyone have any recommendations, I'd be glad to hear them.</span></span></div>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15033932984369565449noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005132444257630307.post-3961184062006190462012-01-25T23:00:00.000+00:002012-01-25T23:00:39.871+00:00Kew<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">January feels different this year. For one thing it's not really cold and I had a holiday right at the start so the usual January blues seem to have passed me by, a very good thing I must say. These photos are from Kew gardens. The last time I went was November 2010 and it was freezing and coated in thick mist, beautifully atmospheric. This time the sun was soft and I didn't really need my coat. I find Kew a very inspirational place, mainly I think because of the pleasant state of decay of the greenhouses, which are full of chipped paint and antique iron work, combined with exotic plants. I also picked up a 1950s guide book in a local jumble last year which was actually pretty useful. I have been wearing my dessert boots no stop and am pining for <a href="http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/brand-is-originals/department-is-women/producttype-is-boots/product-is-20349097">this</a> pair (I am hopeful they will end up in the sale and still in my size) Also this duffle coat, I picked it up on a very rainy afternoon at Dalston market for £4 last March and it has fared me well for this winter. I was super happy when I saw the awesome Pendelton label on this skirt. It needed shortening but I like having something with such a heritage to it. </div>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15033932984369565449noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005132444257630307.post-3649217084234144732012-01-12T15:32:00.000+00:002012-01-12T15:32:49.369+00:00Bed of roses<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QTD1Y56CSew/Tw77Sw0QrcI/AAAAAAAABrg/LHGEEMOzZ7w/s1600/bor1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QTD1Y56CSew/Tw77Sw0QrcI/AAAAAAAABrg/LHGEEMOzZ7w/s640/bor1.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Apparently I want to dress like a mid 1990's teenager at the moment, at least if this outfit is anything to go by. I think this A-line rose print dress must be 90s and also this crazy cotton cardigan. Which has all sorts of cables and stitches going on and ways a <i>ton</i>. I go through phases with the biker boots, I love them but I think they are a bit small on my feet. Lately they have been superseded by the Dessert boots from this <a href="http://thedandeliongirl.blogspot.com/2011/10/heather.html">post</a>. Which I wear all the time. There is no real reason I haven't been blogging so much, except that daylight hours are too short and Christmas is always so busy. I've just been to Cornwall for a few days relaxation before going back to work, and I will post those photos next. Now I going to attempt to do some sewing.</div>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15033932984369565449noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005132444257630307.post-54498310746319209532011-12-11T17:30:00.000+00:002011-12-11T17:30:36.057+00:00These Boots<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d5G28AlR-Pg/TuTlv7hx36I/AAAAAAAABrI/4Vwtdvq5Kps/s1600/purpleboots5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d5G28AlR-Pg/TuTlv7hx36I/AAAAAAAABrI/4Vwtdvq5Kps/s640/purpleboots5.jpg" width="544" /></a></div><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">To me winter dressing generally consists of wearing as many layers as possible, which means it's a bit tougher to stay stylish piled under jumpers, scarves and coats. The one thing I really get excited about is wearing boots! I think boots are my favourite shoe generally, and I tend to add a new pair (or two) each winter. I found these very bright purple Chelsea boots in a charity shop for £7, and although they are a little big, I kind of love them already. I am quite fussy with boots and only like pull on or lace up ones, so Chelsea boots and dessert boots are my current favourites. The dress is a little short for my liking, but its very well made and People tree are a great ethical fair trade brand. It makes me happy to know my clothing comes from such a responsible source. I can't believe it's been a month since my last post. Since then I've had a birthday and been to Bruges for a short holiday. A lovely city but <i>very </i>cold when we were there. I really enjoyed walking everywhere and sampling plenty of the local beer and chocolate. Now Christmas is closing in and I'm trying to fit in some last minute Christmas shopping around all the other festive activities.</span></span></div>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15033932984369565449noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005132444257630307.post-56322902059224502062011-11-15T21:15:00.000+00:002011-11-15T21:15:14.782+00:00Happy Cardigan<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BLKxEVIX73w/TsLS9-mgbWI/AAAAAAAABp8/Ku61AUs-nl8/s1600/hapc9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Autumn is passing me by at lightning speed, and it doesn't help that every shop is full of Christmas things. I refuse to think about Christmas until after my birthday, which is coming up soon. Which brings me to this cardigan, which I love so much. It is so warm and the colours are so lovely together, but the best thing is that it was handmade just for me by my super talented grandmother. She has been knitting me hats, gloves and scarves for years but this is the first garment I have had since I was a child. My grandmother showed me a picture in Stella magazine some months ago of an angora cardigan in tones of blue and said how she liked it, and I agreed. And now here is my very own version, it even has those leather buttons I like so much. My sister received one as well, in shades of yellow and blue.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"> I thought I would wear it with this red dress that I made last year. I don't wear it very often because I made the sleeves a quite odd length, but I like the texture.</span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">The necklace was a birthday gift two years ago, the clasp needed fixing, but now it's done I wear it a lot. It was meant to be a key ring originally and i like the weight of it. I now have some birthday outfits to plan and a little adventure to pack for. </span></div>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15033932984369565449noreply@blogger.com10
