It’s a grey overcast day in Belfast, not cold… not hot… just a kinda meh temperature. The hardest kind to dress appropriately for.

I settled on a bandeau playsuit with a cardy over the top which meant that when I got too warm I could just whip it off and pop it in my bag. I had to do exactly that for the duration of my shopping in town. Cardigan FAIL.

Playsuit – Zara

Cardigan – Tesco

Flats – Primark

Bag – Mulberry

P1000215

Vivienne Westwood Necklace and DIY Disc

P1000214

Links Of London Charm Bracelet and mixed silver bangles from Miss Selfridge

P1000222

Eye make-up was a simple lilac wash of shadow using NARS Night Rider, blended out with a smidgen of MAC Stars n Rockets. Lilac Liner from Gosh and L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara. Lilac tones bring out the green in my eyes like no other colour <3

Shopping was very uneventful. 3 hours later I was home with 1 bottle of brush cleanser. That’s the way it goes sometimes. At least my purse is smiling.

Haha the best things come to those who wait. I've drooled over the Bayswater for as long as I can remember. She was worth the wait :)

Thanks! I was exactly the same. Always lovely the brand because it's so classic. Hopefully she'll still be going strong when I'm in my 40s :) xox

Can totally relate! When you're spending that much money you want to be absolutely sure. I went with the Oak because I'm not the most careful person and I thought it would age the most gracefully if it got a few knocks and bumps xxx

I think I somehow missed the pixie crop?!

It's beautiful, really suits you. Everyone knows that one person who looks stunning with a super short crop…

I know what you mean about the weather. The south of England has decided it's monsoon season for Brighton, so it's roasting hot, with very strong winds and unpredictable rain showers.

Oh joy aha.

Aww thank you, I do love it but it's high maintenance and expensive. Needs a trim every few weeks :/

Glad to see we're not the only area getting ridiculous weather! I've been caught out so many times in sandals. xx
