The day these photos were taken was almost the day I got close to ticking a very important life time ambition off the y'olde bucket list. It's in the top 5 for sure. I really want to hug a lamb. So growing increasingly persistent about this bucket I decided to get proactive and told my family that all I wanted for my birthday was to hug a lamb. My birthday came and went with no lamb hugs, until a few days later mum said she had a present for me. It was a lamb, of sorts. A lamb skin rug, huggable for sure but not exactly what I was imagining. My stress forehead vein increased in size, pulsing, as she pointed out it's cute little spots. The realisation that this was not entirely what I had in mind sunk in and she said she would return it. On the weekend we drove out to the Tannery to get something less mentally scaring. In the tannery I settled on a pink/ nude sheep rug, with the thought process that it didn't remind me much of a sheep being power pink. While exchanging it I made it clear to the farmer that I really liked lambs. My wide eyed enthusiasm wasn't working (I imagine it was most likely borderline manic) and I was slowly accepting defeat. Then a lady came in with her kids, they had a scheduled visit to see his lambs. I subtlety (no-one will believe that) managed to negotiate going in on this seemingly exclusive visit limited to children under ten. I followed the farmer to his farm (kids, don't do this, stranger danger), making sure I was first in line before all the kids. He then showed off all his newly born lambs from the week, SO CUTE! Still no physical contact with the little baes though, until he wondered off, I stayed behind trying to coax one over to me, then this little skippy guy appears from the door the farmer left open and jumps over to me. So much petting, especially of the ears, so soft. He was an orphan and was being bottle fed and was therefore okay for me to pet without getting disowned by his family for smelling like humans. 20 minutes of petting later, the kids had got bored and the farmer was growing weary of my enthusiasm. So, no actual hugs, but pretty close.

Hopefully, it's not just my boyfriend who finds this story endearing...

Bubblegum Bitch: Marina and the Diamonds

(Pink dress: Three Floors, Lace colour block bra: Cos, Shoulder bag: River Island, Wedges: ASOS) # teenvogue

Oh my gawd! Pink! Basically bought this on a whim as it was perfect for my couples Halloween costume plans for this year. Or maybe that was an excuse when I reached the checkout. The clue is in the song and in the diamante pretzels taking up residence on my hip bones. Digressing into quality, I am pleasantly surprised by Three Floors. I used to think the stuff was over priced but the quality on this is really A+. I may buy from then again.

Much love,

Favourite Things

1. Oddly got an urge to charity shopping, this never happens. But I actually scored some delights. All this pictured above cost me £7.75. Bargain. I am not sure about the pressed flower in the frame, it's almost a bit too Grandma Edith for my liking but the frame is wood and is beautifully made. I plan on using the teacups and the strange shaped glass jar for jewellery. I am currently using the big glass jar for risotto rice, but come summer when it is berry picking time, it will be stuffed with my mums homemade jam. All year round our family collect suitable jars for my mum to make jam in, it is honestly the best jam ever, I tried to get her to teach me but when it started to boil she shouted at me and said I'd hurt myself. This was last year, at the tender age of 21.

2. Barely there underwear. I love this kind of underwear, so comfy! To be honest, there really isn't any point in wearing them, zero support, zero coverage but look how pretty! I have I think five of these unwired ones and they are all great. Especially around the house where it is warm and there are no showing people how your body is feel about the temperature. Black and White: Topshop and Sheer Lace: Cos.

3. Handmade Necklace made by my friend. I am a bit fan of a chunky necklace and this one is beautiful and special as it was hand made for me. I love the little leaves on it and the beautiful velvets and chain she used. She out crafts me every time.
