adventuring in richmond park.

jacket | rare london*

tee | forever 21

cardi | boden*

jeans and shoes | topshop

bag and hat | primark

ever since i have lived in london i have always wanted to visit richmond park, i finally managed to go on sunday and realised i only live half and hour away!

my main reason was to go see the deer, ever since i saw kitty and nathan's deer charming pictures i have wanted to try and get as close as i can to them (turns out not that close) 

we had a little picnic and walked as far as our legs would let us, then realising that we had to walk a mile to the station once we had left the park! 

its such a beautiful area, especially in the autumn light.

citizen m bankside

on monday i went to an event on my todd, this is not something i do often due to being a panicky penny, however when citizen m hotel invited me to listen to james warner who is the art director at GQ and hope lawrie who is a celebrity stylist, well i couldn't not go could i!

after being super early i met the other blogging babes that were attending the talk, katy, amy, anoushka and jodie who were all super lovely and listened to my nervous rambling!

we where greeted with wine, cheese, olives and other italian delights whilst having a chat about blogging (of course) obviously we had to arrange the food to make it instagram friendly before we ate it (i missed this by getting lost finding the loo in true liv style, but amy and jodies pictures are making me hungry again)

we listened to james and hope talk and asked lots of questions (especially when hope said she had styled mary berry) and compared the world of magazines to blogging, it is remarkably similar at times!

it was such a great way to start the week, although i was a little bleary eyed the next morning after two glasses of wine and a mojito on a school night (plus its rare i'm not in my pj's after nine)

thank you citizen m for such a lovely evening and getting the chance to meet such interesting and creative people!

pink dreams.

top | H&M

jeans and shoes | topshop

yesterday i went to the dreamiest pinkest wes anderson-est place ever!

possibly the most instgrammed afternoon tea spot in london, sketch is the ultimate girly dream. 

having spent our morning mooching round the V&A shoes exhibition and window shopping we excitedly (practically skipped) to sketch where all our afternoon tea dreams came true. 

we booked to have our tea in the david shrigley gallery aka pink perfection room however there are two other rooms that are as equally beautiful. 

now i don't know if it was just us but every once and awhile we just kept saying to each other 'its just so pretttyyy!' and looking round. 

we tried to take sensible adult photos in the egg toilets, however we then realised that we are not sensible adults so i will just leave you with those photos...

the food/tea/champagne mix just perfect and i highly recommend a visit if you're ever thinking of a little afternoon tea trip in old london town.

autumn has arrived.

coat | primark

jumper | H&M

jeans | topshop

necklace | hapiness boutique*

shoes | new look

bag | cambridge satchel company

its finally coat season!

i know its a very divided feeling when autumn comes around but personally i'm all over this weather.

the first chilly day i went straight out and got myself this beauty of a coat, i feel all serena van der woodsen swishing out in it (yes that is a term). 

i especially love wandering around after work when its still light and there is a sight chill in the air, i even get off the bus a few stops earlier, plus wandering round notting hill will always be one of my favourite pass times so i like to make the most of it whilst i'm here! 

i recently picked up a few nail varnishes from tanya burrs new collection, oh good gosh are they pretty (i'm wearing duvet day in this post) but my favourite is fairy god mother (just wish i didn't chip them so quickly!)

pimms and dad dancing.

bag | vintage

shoes | new look

 dress | oasis

i have returned from my french adventures!

i jetted off for my third wedding of the summer, my cousin T got married in ol' frenchy land to the beautiful S

the wedding was three days of eating and drinking (i'm pretty sure i gained a stone in those three days)

i did allot of dad dancing, this dress is ideal for it as it gives me and extra swish when i do some disco style spins, i'll just leave you with that image....

i will be back with some more of my french frolics soon, mainly me pulling silly faces and not being a serious blogger/ adult in any shape or form...
