OOTD; A Day In London

This Saturday, me and my boyfriend headed to London for a belated birthday trip for him, we went not to long ago (the beginning of the year) so decided we would have a more kind of tourist day out and do a few different things, these including the London Eye and a trip to Shoreditch and Brick Lane, before a spot of shopping in Oxford Circus too.

It was such a lovely day, one of those ones that you never want to end, plus we were very lucky with the weather too as it was lovely sunshine most of the day, with the odd patch of rain showers too (it is England after all). Although we didn't take any full blog style outfit images, we did take quite a few photo's which I thought I would share..

Hello there famous pelican of Brick Lane (we walked quite abit to get a glimpse of this one). 

As well as the amazing graffiti down near Brick Lane, it's also know for it's bagel shops, markets and of course all things vintage. We headed in to a small indoor market and found these amazing pineapple flowers.. Of course I had to buy them but they did get a little squashed after being carried around London for almost ten hours haha. They are still going strong though and are currently placed in my rose gold vase near the window! 

I'm heading off to New York bright & early in the morning and I'm so excited although slightly terrified of having jet-lag haha.. anybody else have that as a fear or just me? 

What did you get up to this weekend? Be sure to let me know! 

Hope you're all well!

OOTD; Palm Playsuit

palm / banana leaf playsuit | h&m | £29.99

The banana leaf / palm print / the whole topical trend has really hit heights this summer and I am obsessed! I blogged about my palm tree trousers a few weeks ago, (you can see that here), 

&I think every single leaf print item I've seen since then, I have had to buy. 

So far just this month my palm themed purchases were; this playsuit and the matching print blouse (also h&m) .. a Lavish Alice cape (which I wore for my graduation) as well as a phone case. Now I know that probably doesn't sound a lot, but when they are all hung up together on my clothes rail (minus the phone case of course) it kind of looks like I'm planning on a trip to the jungle or just really really love the colour green. Three weeks into the month and 'ta da' I've bought myself the items to create a camouflage wardrobe. 

I seriously do love the whole palm trend& certainly won't be stopping any time soon.

Are you a fan of this trend? Or just not your 'cup of tea'? 

Hope you're all well.

OOTD; Palm Tree Trousers

palm tree trousers | h&m | £14.99

fluff hem top | topshop sale

shoes | tesco | £6.00

fur coat | vintage

bag | zara | £39.99

Palm tree trousers in the palm tree house.. where could be better to photograph this outfit. If you are close to Liverpool or plan a day out here sometime then I would definitely recommend a quick hour or so trip to Lark Lane & the Palm House in Sefton Park. It's so lovely inside and although its only small I would still agree that its worth a visit. Me and my friend went and although it wasn't the nicest of weather it was still a lovely day, we also had milkshakes in jam jars and pancakes.. what could be a better way to spend a Monday morning after finishing university. 

I am obsessed with the whole botanical/palm tree trend for this summer and would be more than happy owning literally everything palm leaf print. H&M have currently got some amazing palm prints in, from bikini's to sunglasses cases .. I need them all! 

They are all pretty well priced too, making them perfect buy's for summer holidays. 

Have you been a new place that you've really liked recently? 

Hope you're all well.
