Music Festivals

It's that time in London and everywhere else.  Summer = festivals and if you are an outdoor concert goer like myself then you know the weather usually doesn't cooperate especially in London.  Wellies are my #1 essential piece.  I'm a fan of Hunter - I have them in Green but I want them in Red too :)  Here is my ideal festival look.

Ray Bans, Zoe Karssen Tank, Earrings and Bangles, Fedora, J Brand Denim Shorts, Hobo Bag, Umbrella, Wellies, Minnetonka Moccasins- I wear mine everyday ♥

Happy Hour

Yesterday we went to Tom's Terrace for a little happy hour with friends.  It was a great night, little chilly but it is London...right!  It hits me at the weirdest times I'm living in London.  Leaving the bar last night I looked to my left and saw Big Ben, the London Eye and behind me St. Paul's.  I took the time to make a mental picture and embrace the moment.  Its not everyday right!

I didn't have my camera but I took two photos on my iphone.

MY FIRST OUTFIT POST!!!!

So I hate trying on clothes, I mean absolutely hate it.  I do the neck trick with majority of my pants and skirts- you know when you take the waist of the pants/skirt and wrap around your neck.  It's pretty spot on except for pencil skirts.  I have what some people like to call a "booty" and it can get in the way.  I also have the shortest legs known to man, so no matter what I have to get them hemmed.  This skirt was no exception - didn't try it on and it was way too long when on my waist.  High waisted skirt...sure!  You can tell its still a tad too long.  

Self Portraits...sorry.  My photographer (the husband) was out of town.
