a devon escape.

I'm currently laid up in bed feeling pretty poorly, so looking through these photos from the jaunt down to Devon I took a couple of weeks ago to meet more of Nick's family and friends is making me feel much better. The sea air in Devon is what I need again now. 

The air smelt so sweet, everyone was lovely, and I ate a LOT of ice cream.

what's in my travel bag?

I've been making a few little jaunts lately - a couple of trips down to Devon, today I'm (meant to be) going up to Cheltenham, popping up to London twice soon.. they're not long journeys, but there are certain essentials that I always want to have with me:

coori pizza party.

Who doesn't love a pizza party...? How about a gluten free, homemade, cooked-on-the-BBQ pizza party?! Sounds pretty epic, right? Read on to see how it's done!

back to college vibes.

Feeling pretty nerdy in this get-up, and really wishing I could go back in time to college, just for a couple of days. It was quite warm yesterday, but overcast, so this outfit was just right. It's not even summer holidays yet, and I'm already feeling back-to-school vibes!

recovery.

I've touched on it briefly a few times over the past few months, but I had been struggling with my mental health quite a bit. I've experienced anxiety and depression a number of times throughout my life, and this was one of the more serious bouts. 

which watch?

I'm not much of a jewellery wearer - apart from some new earrings that I'm sure I'll be sharing with you soon! - I always find that it feels uncomfortable, or like it's getting in the way, or that it just doesn't look right on me. You will rarely find me with more than just the tunnels in my ears.

Something I do rather like though, is a good watch.

festival feelings.

Festivaaaals! I love them... but I don't appear to have one on my calendar this year *sad face*. I was supposed to go to Primavera, but my plans fell through. Oh well, there's still time to find myself at one, and with more and more festivals appearing every year, my chances are high! If I do manage to get to one, this is a little outfit that I might wear...

a perfect summer evening.

The other day, Nick and I met up and couldn't decide what to do. It was a beautiful day, and just when we'd decided to walk into town for a mooch, I changed my mind and wanted to head back for a BBQ. We stopped off to buy supplies from the green grocers and butcher, and then did a little al fresco cooking!

the other art fair - bristol.

Just a quick one to say - if you're in Bristol this weekend, you should absolutely definitely check out The Other Art Fair at the Arnolfini!! I went to the private view last night and it was great - so much inspiring art.

If you head down, keep your eyes peeled for Charlotte Edey, Hannah Battershell, and the incredibly talented Olivier Leger - his work made my eyes so so happy! And I accidentally told him I'd dropped my phone down the toilet after I dropped it in his booth twice. Ugh, awkward. There's also exclusive work by Tracey Emin!

in the garden.

I thought I'd share with you my favourite corner of the garden right now and a simple little outfit. These photos were actually taken a couple of weeks ago, probably on the last sunny day before yesterday, which was GLORIOUS. Finally. 

Anyway.. enough ranting about the weather.

reflecting on may.

I haven't done one of these reflective posts in a while, and a lot has changed since the last emotion-fuelled one back in January. Rainy ol' June is here already after a jam-packed May. Here is a little bit of what I got up to...
