make tea, not war


Last weekend I went to a pretty flawless camping trip/ wedding. The weather was great and everything was just lovely. 
On the Friday me, the family and other wedding guests went to a pub (which name has slipped my mind) I thought it would be a typical english pub with lots of wooden beams, and horrible curtains,but it had this insane 60's/70's decor that was a complete dream. 

too true 

My grandma actually has the same plates,
whenever I see them I am struck by how awesome and psychedelic they are 

                       

two examples of awesome wall paper 

Saturday was the actual wedding ceremony , it was held in the walled garden at Hartland Abbey, It was a very beautiful and I almost shed a tear, almost. 


After the ceremony we meet some adorable and friendly donkeys, that just stood there and let me and Emily stroke and pat them.  
The wedding car was beyond cool...

After the ceremony we went to this really pretty farmhouse place that had been decorated with probably about 1000m of bunting (heaven) 



at the start of the weekend all of the guests had to choose a mug, they were all really cool and vintage and it took me a long time to choose one! 
A really pretty outhouse that I think was a therapy room.




The wedding also included- a folk band playing an acoustic set outdoors, some delicious cakes, another really cool band that played a Tina Turner Melody and.... a really cool old guy playing the bagpipes. All in all a very good weakend!


lots of love

stumbled upon emporium

Today I went shopping with my mother, In the reasonably sleepy South Molton. We went mainly because there are some really good charity shops their, but unfortunately most of the charity shops where closed (because apparently people don't like to work around easter!) 
Luckily Nightingale Lane Vintage  was open; I have to say a few words about this shop, because it has to be one of the most perfect vintage shops I have ever been to. The shop itself is beautifully arranged.  (and doesn't have that weird smell that some vintage shops have) The clothes are all immaculate and have obviously been carefully picked out.The clothes are also relatively cheap for vintage, so if you are in the South Molton area Nightingale Lane Vintage is defiantly a must. 

here is a beautiful example of the kind of thing you can purchase there. 


At the vintage shop in question I purchased a very snazzy 60's shirt, with a very pretty print and a very large collar.....






I also purchased some pretty hair slides. 
I have also updated my picture wall

willow tweed brogues.


I have been kidding myself that I can dress in black all the time.
 For a while I have wanted to look mysterious and edgy but I have now realised that I just don't look mysterious or edgy. So I have decided to find a different style. I think a mash up of 60's, clueless and preppy style will do the trick. 






The endlessly beautiful Karen Gillan in "we'll take manhattan'
which is fabulous and worth a watch.  






This style transformation is also prompted by two pairs of fabulous shoes- my tapestry Doc Martens and these.... that I have ordered from ASOS


anyway I'll leave you with this
