I am lucky enough to
have places minutes away from my doorstep that exceed all words of expression, truly
beautiful on an unimaginable scale. Yesterday, myself and my wonderful friends
had a very outdoor based day. Wrapped up warm in multiple layers, we decided to
fully make the most of the blue skies and sparkling sun, walking through some
of the most mystical hidden places. The photos above were taken at a private
lake, which fills me with nostalgia from the last time we visited many moons
ago. The amount of change within 7 or so years is extraordinary. Yet the
timeless state of the surroundings stays preserved, never changing except with
the breeze of the seasons.
Paddling across a
lake while sporting faux fur, really does present the practicality of my
clothing for things. Nonetheless, it made me feel like I was in the boat scene from The Notebook, thankfully without the downpour of rain. Fortunately, there were
no titanic incidences and after a while of simply paddling around in circles
some progress was to be made, though rather minimal. Here it was concluded that
this would be the best place to take some photos for my blog. The changes of
lighting from the afternoon sun, ranging from cool tones to orange based tones
made the photos all look very interesting.
I am wearing a very
casual outfit for myself; suede high-waisted shorts, a turtle neck and faux fur
coat. I was wearing some pointed brogue style shoes prior to the walk but they were not highly suitable so I opted for the more sensible option of
wellingtons. Though it must be pointed out that mine are not any old wellington
boots but they are ones with a wedged heel. A perfect buy for festivals especially
for those of you who want to gain an inch more of height. I am wearing a polka
dot hair scarf, pearl earrings and a statement no’7 red lipstick. I have kept
my hair in its natural state due to lack of effort and uncertainty of how to
style a fringe that is well due a cut so that explains the mess of it. I have
been more aesthetically interested in styles from the 50’s, so I am trying to
infuse more of these fashion influences into my own personal style.
After the photos, we indulged in tea
and cake followed by a very cosy evening huddled up next to a fire in a
local pub. Days like this are truly special, making you truly appreciate not
only the beauty of nature but the beauty of close friendship. For those who
know me, know that I am adverse to expressions of feelings. Therefore, I am going
to avoid ending this post on overly sweet note like the last sentence by
diluting it with this ramble.
Much love
