mirrored island

No prize for figuring that these shots were taken before England took a momentary nosedive into winter.  This combo screams summer pretty loudly, but I wanted to squeeze as much wear out of my ‘pretend I’m on a meditteranean beach’ pieces as possible. Knowing me I’ll still be baring the midriff in December though… Who am I kidding?

Anybody recognise this Motel Rocks print from a few years ago?  I remember browsing Topshop on my own when I was 14 or so and thinking ‘I might buy something a bit wacky today’, and coming home with this skirt in hand.  Compared to this summer’s prints it’s fairly tame I’d say, but at the time it seemed more ‘out there’!  I wonder what fashions seem radical(ish) now that’ll be on everyone and their mother in a few years time?

Comfiest sandals ever.  So often shoes end up banished to the ‘wear for 20 minutes at a time’ pile, but these haven’t rubbed once.  And teal seems to compliment near enough everything, surprisingly.

 

Sad as it sounds (my mum is a photographer, ok) one of my favourite summer ‘things’ is the glowy evening light that lingers for an hour or so.  That particular shade of light seems to make everything look just that little bit prettier; more so than any Instagram filter can anyways. 🙂

Anybody else clinging on to summer like it’s going out of fashion?
