On Friday

I...

helped out my chums

had many a piggy back

looked like a very moody teenager when people took my picture (and turned pink)

Oh, and I was a cat.


Playsuit - Primark, Cardigan - H&M


Everything is better by the riverside, especially on a lovely sunny day. Unfortunately the weather is being quite nasty and cloudy now, but that's okay since it's just in time for school. And who wants to waste sunny days sweating in a classroom? Not meeee, so save them all up for weekends please!

much love
Lily

I'm making changes.

The blog is getting a big kick up the bum, or a makeover if you want to be more subtle.
I'm putting a lot more of myself into it now, and I really hope you are all liking it! This header isn't forever, and I'm aware it's not a pretty sight (ok yeah I made it in about a minute on paint) but I was bored with the old one and time and effort aren't my friends right now.
If you have suggestions, or even want to be amazing and make me a header, then pleeeeease do I will love you more than I already do for reading my blog.
In an attempt to make this an interesting post, doesn't Carey Mulligan just look like perfection here? Seriously, this picture is too perfect. SO perfect it makes me a little sad, but in a happy lovely ohmygoshshe'samazing way.


love forever

Today I did this.

And loved it.

Hot days call for strawberries and favourite books.
Tomorrow I'm picnicking by the river, first swim of the year hopefully - very excited! Hopefully summer has actually begun, no more false starts please. I already have tan lines, even if no-one else can see them.

Yesterday it rained.

I wore this. Still not sure if I like it.




(Blouse - Zara, Vest thing - Topshop, Skirt - H&M, Cardigan - Kew, Tights - ???, Brogues - Vintage, Satchel - My mums)
I love this satchel, it's so deliciously battered and worn - which I think looks much more appealing than a fresh out of the box one. My mum stole it from one of her boyfriends at art college and now it's mine. The brogues were my dream find from Portobello market, they are in such beautiful condition and the colour is so yummy.
ANYWAYS, soon I will post my supeeeer new purchases (INCLUDING PLEATHER!!!) which I am in love with.

new.

Yes, it's been a month so as a treat for hanging on for so long you get some ridiculous posey webcam photos! Lucky you!
I don't normally take pictures of myself so maybe that's why they came out looking so... individual? But I needed to update and show off my fringe, which I'm quite proud of even though it seems to be the predictable hairstyle of choice for uuuuuuuuuum every blogger ever everywhere, something had to be done.
Basically my hair before was NASTY. It was straggly and split endy and horrid, so I got it cut. And it was worse. They gave me som stupid spikey flicky thing which made me want to cry and have a little breakdown. So my mummy did this for me.

I'm really liking my yellow nails at the moment, they make everything I do a tiny little brighter - which is odd because I hate the colour yellow normally. And how lovely is this ring? It's a little daisy on a chain thing, £2 from Topshop. So far I am sticking to my plan of not buying anything from Topshop unless it's onsale (or socks) and my money stash has been growing, maybe soon I can treat myself to a little shopping trip.

I bought these sunglasses off my brother for £3, he ordered some for himself and they sent these instead which was good news for me considering it was around the time of the crazy heatwave. The whole weekend I lived in these and Primark playsuits lounging in the sun.

Oh and this picture is just to prove how lame I am, incase you hadn't already noticed.

Now here I would appreciate some feedback. At times I don't feel my blog is completely honest or fully 'me', which is why posts feel like so much effort. I think I would like to start making posts that matter, and feature my opinions and feelings more. So maybe this blog will become a bit more personal? I need to think things over, but hopefully I will be back soon with some substantial posting.

Lily.

P.S. Although I'm feeling a bit Topshop negative, I'm a bit in love with the make up. Especially the lipstick, my favourite is Brighton Rock

hideaway sunshine

Helloooo Honeys, I hope you are all well! I feel very motivated to blog right now because the weather has been spectacularly spectacular of late, so I am feeling especially cheery.

Yesterday's sunshine prompted the first barbecue of the year, which was immensely lush by my standards. We were all a bit too scared of a possible turn in the weather (it's the English way, I'm sure) to venture down to the river, so we had a very chilled afternoon in Emily's garden instead.

Everyone ignore my freakishly salmon legs, please.

Not quite sure what happened here, but I think the picture is quite cute. The beautiful girl on the floor is Alice, I love love loooooove her tights (and our matchy-matchy stripeyness).

Outfit - dress; H&M, scarf; H&M, jacket; my daddy's, shoes; Doc Martens, hat: H&M

I just bought this dress from H&M for an AMAZING bargain price of £9.99! I love it so much it's so perfect for summer and has a truly yummy sleeve length, £9.99!!

Other than that, my life has consisted of consuming far too many Fabs, watching, criticising (andsometimes loving) Doctor Who and eating cake. Right this minute my mummy is playing Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros very loudly which is just a little bit fabulous.

Make the most of the sunshine, go and play catch with your friends!!!

love from Lily xxxxx
