How perfect has this weather been? Apparently the warmest May Bank Holiday since 1995 so it was certainly suncream and sauvignon all round.

Beyond the cocktails, the sun reminds me just how I much I enjoy summer clothes. Even if I'm not an avid skirt wearer, just being able to go outside without a jacket or sensible shoes makes a huge difference to my mood. Mainly wanting to buy all the summery things I can fit into my online basket, but also a reminder that holidays, late evenings and spontaneous adventures will soon be on the horizon.

What do you enjoy most about summer?

The nightmare before Christmas

Today has felt lovely and festive (as well as pretty chilly). We managed to wander to town where all our family friends tend to gather. I received some birthday presents along with yet more champagne, which my mother drank a tad too much of (resulting in her being chatted up by a man who told my father he was the luckiest man alive) creating interesting consequences. I really can't believe it's Christmas tomorrow, as much as I love the presents,  I think it's the atmosphere that makes it, with the endless boxes of quality street, seasonal films and everyone making an effort to keep the peace for once. Merry Christmas to everyone for tomorrow, and I hope Santa brings what you want!

Love always,

if you can make it here you can make it anywhere

Well, today has been decidedly better than yesterday, which isn't saying a great deal, but it has been genuinely enjoyable. Perhaps due to the fact the sun appeared for albeit brief amounts of time and the fact I enjoyed a starbucks mocha at lunch. Mhm, I do hope the week continues to improve along with the weather.

In other news, here are the things I could quite like to own but lack sufficient funds. I had a quick look around the 'Alexa Chung for Madewell' collection and gosh, whilst thinking how lovely (though pricey) all the items were, I couldn't help thinking how much I want to be Alexa Chung. Though I guess perfection isn't everything. Of course not ;)
