Love Is Love.

Tee: Dom&Ink for Rock on Ruby. Leggings: Matalan. Sunglasses: Claireabella's Closet. Bag: Primark. Trainers: Converse.

This is just a quick post to show you what I wore while I was away on Holiday (I know it seems like forever ago now!) I was bit of a bad blogger while I was away and hardly took any photos of my outfits at all, even though I had my trusty photographer (older brother!) with us for the week! These were very quickly taken when we were visiting Woodbridge in Suffolk. We always try to go at least once while we're away as it has some brilliant charity shops and it's a pretty nice place to just wander around. 

As soon as I saw the Dom and Ink Collection at Rock on Ruby I knew I had to get at least one top from the collection and this one just spoke to me! I've known about Dom's illustrations for awhile and   I just adore them so when I saw there was a chance I could wear them emblazoned across my chest I had to snap at the chance! Here I'm wearing a XXL but it's actually much more generous than I expected it to be so I think I could even just get away with a L depending on how relaxed a fit you wanted, but I just love it so I don't care anyway! Dom also has a seriously awesome book out called Map My Style which is currently on offer and you can get it here! 

I'm currently also lusting over this "Lets Make Out" top and think it may JUST have to be my next purchase!

Ickworth House.

Dress/Sunnies/collar: Primark. Denim Vest: Dorothy Perkins. Bag: Asos. Leggings: Matalan. Sandals: M&Co.

These pictures were taken at Ickworth House where my family and I stopped off at on our way home from the holiday. Its described as a "Georgian Italianate palace in an idyllic English landscape." well clearly The National Trust no how to sell there places to people as this is definitely true, its really beautiful but also extremely quirky at the same time. You can discover what 'upstairs downstairs' domestic life was really like in the servants' quarters in the Rotunda basement which I have to say my parents really loved and that I even enjoyed, though things like this always start my mum off on reminiscing the good old days!

On the day we went and paid this "palace" a visit there was a wedding being held, now I've only been to Ickworth once before 2 summers ago when we were doing the same trip and it was always wedding central then to. Its seriously popular for weddings but I can totally see why its a pretty magical place with grounds you could wander for hours and it makes a beautiful back drop for photographs, though I saw the groom's part (is that the right term) all doing the bolt which totally ruined the moment! They were also soldiers in the RAF from the look of there uniforms and they all looked very pristine and dapper as visitors of the place we could also freely walk among the guests so it was an interesting experience to say the least!

My outfit was chosen for comfort and a four hour care journey but I also didn't want to look overly frumpy if it had been a cold day I would of just worn a chunky knit over this dress with a vintage scarf but it was actually really humid and warm so I stuck to just the t-shirt dress with my new found love the denim vest which has hardly been off my back since I bought it! The bag was a lovely gift from one of my best friends as a belated birthday present and I used it every single day while on holiday its small enough not to be something I lug around but actually fits in everything I need and how could anyone resist the cute little rabbit on the front anyway?! The sandals were found in M&Co which has been pleasantly surprising me lately with how lovely some of the things are they are almost like elastic straps and pretty comfortable I wore them for most of the holiday towards the end as we had such good weather! The necklace is something I picked up to jazz up plain tops and dresses which it certainly does I also love pearls and these are a nice modern twist on something otherwise very much the classic.

Holiday.

Here's some really unattractive pictures of me and my family on our holiday last summer or also known as the fringe disaster, I'd had my fringe trimmed and it was completely butchered lets just say that hairdressers has not touched my head since!

Anyway I'm going off the subject there, this is just a quick post to say I'm travelling on my holidays today so I might not be online for the next week. How I'll survive I'll never know but I somehow managed last year, so I probably will again. This means I won't be on twitter, here or anything! YES I WON'T BE ON TWITTER.... it seems almost unnatural for me. Hopefully I won't die in pain on the train, I'm really stressing over it so my tummy is seriously cramping up like it has been recently. I'm thinking I might calm down by the time I'm actually at the station.

I'll be in Suffolk for the week and I do find the village we stay in to be utterly beautiful. I'll have lots of pictures to share when I'm back most likely if I managed to borrow my brothers camera while we're there! So I'll see you all soon!

By the fireplace.

This is another outfit I wore while I was on holiday in Suffolk. These were taken after me and my family had been out to the theatre in the forest (which I got some pictures from and will eventually upload them!) and it was really great it was something like our fifth year going but i really do love it!

Now on to what I wore, the jumper is a new piece I bought from Primark I'm loving this burnt kind of colour at the moment so expect to see more things like that coming through. The only downside is how baggy the sleeves are, I mean they are supposed to be like that but I tend to prefer something a little more fitted. The skirt is from Dorothy Perkins and you would of seen before on my blog (and will see a lot more of in the future!) this is my favourite skirt ever, I really hope I can find another one to replace it or something. The leggings are my trusty Matalan ones the socks were from Primark and originally to go with my final collection at college, then the boots I won on a twitter comp with Style369.

My make up and accessories are pretty simple on my eyes I had black smudged eyeliner on my lash line with a shimmer gold behind. Then just some lip stain to give a rosy flush to my lips. the scarf is vintage and was given to me by my mum ( I think she found when clearing through some boxes at my grandads along with some beautiful 1940s/1950s ones too) and the ring is a scrabble piece with R for Rosie on it and was given as a gift from my college helper.

A lovely reader of my blog has offered to do me a new header and layout and from what shes shown me so far there so lovely! I cannot wait to get it live on here! - edit- its up now what do you think?

The Golden Corn.

Good afternoon my lovely followers I apologise for not posting for well over a week! Thing have just caught up with me and I also had a horrid, horrid ( yes two horrid's it was that bad) sickness bug which knocked me out for the weekend when i was planning to post then. But i am back now not feeling fully well but much better than before.

These are edits of the original image which took last summer while i was on holiday in Suffolk. I photoshopped this picture because i am currently doing a brief which is focused on photo editing as well as editing pictures i have drawn myself. At the moment i am taking it as a interesting learning curve as I've known how to basically use photoshop (or other software like it) but not how to so intricately edit each photograph or almost re draw each piece using layers and transparency settings. I did take and alter more than just this image So i will post some more up over the next few days! There is also another outfit post coming up soon.

I hope you've all had okay weekends, anyone have there Christmas tree up yet?
