Car park chic

Well, its fair to say it's been a little while! I've been meaning to get back into the flow of blogging again, but work life has just been quite hectic. That being said, i'm soon to start a new chapter in my career and of course that called for a lil shopping spree, 'cause any excuse really! 

I just purchased a few basics and some summer staples as even though we've had some nice summer days so far, there hasn't been enough heat for a proper update on my summer wardrobe, until I get a holiday booked that is.

I'm dying to get in the sun and near the sea.. wishing I could just been whisked away to a secluded island free of charge... a girl can dream.

But until then here's me enjoying some summer greenery, keeping it chic in leafy car park, wearing one of my recent and fave basic tee's (outfit details below). As well as this I also purchased a dressier striped over sized tee from & other stories. Because I truly believe one can never have too many stripes.

So yesterday I had a lovely relaxing Sunday, breakfast and blogging in bed - catching up on some of my fave bloggers and a bit of Pinterest for weekly style inspo. Then I finally got round to visiting the Vogue 100 years of style exhibition at The Manchester Art Gallery, which I throughly enjoyed and will definitely be going again, and to purchase some merchandise from the gift shop. It was a fabulous exhibition, showcasing fashion of the era's and some very iconic designers, models and famous photos.

I've included some sneaky pics below. After the gallery, me and my friend went and bought a baguette followed by a coffee and pain au chocolat - feeling very Parisian indeed.

Maudie James looking absolutely fabulous in a long sequin dress and matching pink scarf and trousers so chic. I particularly like this image, as it shows the young man painting the image behind them and Maudie seems to be delighted by his sense of style, looking cool and hipster, how he would easily fit in today - proving fashion does come back around. And the chap who is admiring Maudie sat on the floor. I would love this among many of the others featured in my new flat!
