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.

These pictures are from May when I was last by the sea. It has been too long since I had some sea air in my lungs. Luckily I only have to wait two more weeks before my next trip to the sea side. Outfit posts have been scarce, since co-coordinating myself and my photographer has been tricky and I still feel too silly taking the tripod out and about around here. This weekend has been fairy mellow, picnic in the park and today Sunday lunch in a great local restaurant and a stroll to see some historical buildings. Out of interest to any international readers- does anyone else enjoy a Sunday roast? This outfit is super simple but seaside appropriate. Featuring my all time favourite sort of ugly but awesome shoes and the best quality striped top I have found so far. Good old uni qlo. As for this back pack - I think it was maybe someone's 1990s school bag, since it features a lot of Biro scribbles to the interior. I like the jaunty turquoise colour scheme though.
