Sunday.

On Sunday Zoe and myself took a little road trip to Blandford. Our plan for the day was to visit their fashion museum to take some blog photos and then grab some lunch.

Despite getting a little lost we eventually found the museum tucked in a little side road, realising we had driven past it about three times after driving around the one way system a few times too! Only then to find that the museum was closed on Sundays! (who closes national trust places on Sundays?!) Anyway we soon made the most of our day by taking photos outside the museum, which was in a old traditional house called Lime Tree house which was really pretty as you can see from our photos. It had a lovely little garden too with lots of roses and flowers.

Before lunch we spent some time to wonder around Blandford and I'm glad we did! I never realised Blandford was so pretty. It had some lovely old buildings like the church and the town hall. After we had some lunch in a old traditional pub (we both had a turkey roast dinner with all the trimmings!) We headed over a bridge and took some photos by the river which again was stunning.

My outfit for the day consisted of mainly vintage. Vintage top, skirt and bag and my trusty topshop ankle boots. The weather was lovely for this time of year still sunny but breezy. After Blandford we went to visit our friend Nat who has just moved so had a good catch up and drank lots of tea! After an initial false start I had a great weekend spending time visiting old places and chilling with friends. Hope you had a great weekend too!

The best weekend.

Wow, okay so I really can't believe I haven't blogged since January! This is awful and I'm so ashamed to admit it has been that long. I could try and say that I have been snowed under and super busy with work, but although work has been busy I have been well, just very lazy! So I apologise but I will vow never to let blogging slip quite so much again!

This weekend was a very special one as myself and my good friend Zoe met up with our old uni friends who we haven't seen since our graduation two whole years ago. We met on Saturday evening and went for dinner to a lovely Italian restaurant and ate lots of pizza and pasta and chatted about old uni days catching up with what was happening in everyone's lives. It was the best Saturday evening we had lots of fun. It was really nice to see them again and we can't wait to catch up again soon.

On Sunday afternoon we went for a drive around the Purbeck hills and took some photos. I was so excited to finally take some decent photos of my Fieldguided tote bag I received a while ago. It came at the best time as I was sick in bed with tonsillitis, so this really cheered me up.It came in the prettiest packaging and I really love it.It has so much room so I can cram everything into it. Today was a lovely ending to one of the best weekends! Back to the grindstone tomorrow!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, what did you get up to?
