afternoon adventures
Spontaneous afternoon adventures are hard to beat. George and I just decided to enjoy the afternoon sun out by the lake on the university campus. It was absolutely gorgeous with so many people out appreciating the weather. It's days like today which make me love living in the UK.
In terms of the weather...how has it all of a sudden become bare leg and thongs (Australian word for "flip flops") sort of temperatures? It's crazy, it only feels like yesterday when we still had to be rugged up in warm coats. But I am not complaining, this past few days have been in-fricken-credible!
One of the reasons it has been so in-fricken-credible is the fact that this weather has been so unexpected which makes it even more hotter than it is. It's only been 14c (57f for you Americans), however it feels like its pretty much 30c (86f for you american's again haha) that is a definite sign of the fact that I have been here in the UK for too long.
Another reason is the fact that it means we spend the majority of the day enjoying the outdoors and what can be bad about that?

We Brits are so odd about the weather arent we??! you just look so happy...its a pleasure to visit your blog. Am commenting via iPad so no punctuation! Sorry,.. Lou x
YESSS!! i am so right there with you girlfriend. This weather has been the best ever. Totally boycotted class again by bribing my irish friend with beer outside (an easy bribe...clearly) we sat out in the sun for three hours on campus. it was GLORIOUS.
LOVING the polka dots. ASOS purchase???
Yes Sophie - You have been in the UK for too long - but looks lovely darling. The daffodils are divine.

Aussie word for flip flops, makes me think of our version of knickers. So funny. Just loving the sun and your photos.

Hi. I'm a stylist in LA and I'm totally obsessed with your blog. I'd love if you visited my new blog for multiple posts a day on all things fashion. I just moved to California after graduating back in south with a degree in visual merchandiser. In attempt to get my heel in the door, I've launched a site all about celebrity fashion and the trends that create it. Check out what Vanessa Hudgens was wearing when I ran into her last week and Olivia P's breaking news. I'd love the support. I'm following you, I hope you'll do the same. Thanks so much.
