The worried people shaking the whole house

Window Blues: Band of Horses

The "worried people" should be exchanged for the wind! Damn, it was windy but so sunny and otherwise perfect for photo-taking. The weather hates me. The location change to a likely teenage drug den was due to the wind.

Bought this Zara skirt as I enjoyed the two different colour stripes- an unusual pairing but a pleasant one. The clue should have been that it was unusual and that it would not go with anything, cue my wardrobe philosophy: Don't know what to wear it with? Wear a grey t-shirt or jumper. Unimaginative but effective!

Favourite Things

 My all time favourite perfume. I was a lucky girl my boyfriend bought me this which was rather charming as I am too cheap to buy this most of the time.. Reason being, I am a serial-sprayer, it's like an OCD for smell. So excited to have this perfume back in my life, when I could smell this on other ladies I would be very jealous. I am sure everyone has smelt this though and knows how delightful it is!

Leather boots: Topshop Premium. Had my eyes on these for a while, when they dropped down in sale I was there and ready. I was originally disappointed when I got them as I thought the leather was a black and ox-blood mix, it is just black, but I guess that makes them more versatile! I didn't have any boots for winter so these will be waiting for me. She says while it is 20 degrees outside.

Boyfriend got me peonies. I guess the lurking next to the flower stands paid off. He found these in his garden and proudly presented them with other wild flowers. Romantic. I went with him to a boot sale on Sunday- got a whole load of crap, including but not exclusive to: 3 picture frames, 3 vases, a wooden box, a sweetie box, a table and a rocking chair. Now we have to learn how to reupholster and maybe buy a house sharpish.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend in the summer sun!

Blinded by your own reflection

I love a harness, hand harness, body harness and even a leg one, so I guess it was only a natural progression to end up here with a leather one. I had my eye on one on ASOS but it sold out in my size, so looked on eBay. Worst idea ever. If you do search "Leather harness" in eBay, may I suggest private browsing. Woah. Anyway, this one in Topshop popped up and I like it a lot, the nude makes it a lot less harsh and even the shape is really flattering! If you can get your hands on a leather harness, maybe even a bondage one, try it with dresses, I really enjoyed it. Also loving it over coats, pulls in the waist a bit!
