"Keep telling me that we'll be fine"

Spanish Sunsets. They leave me content. I do miss the safe calmness of the countryside.
Everything I'm wearing is vintage. I'm exhausted. Its 1 AM and I just drank a cup of tea. Rather foolish. Feeling incredibly mellow tonight. Good Company & Good Music ease a day of stress, always.

December 1st. Wow, time has swirled out of control. 2009 ending soon, already?! What?! Festive Lights are dangling and twinkling from every angle in Durham. Christmas soon. What is everyone wishing for? I'm leaning towards an abundance of Shoes & Adobe Photoshop. I was so sad when my one month trial ran out.

As soon as I get some money, I'm buying a velvet minidress. I want one. Bad. To wear with ankle socks & badass blazers. Oh and a hat, yes. Please. YES.

Ok. I can hear the drunken people stumble across the cobbles outside. Lots of happy yelling & echoing slurs. I think thats my cue to say goodnight & get some much needed sleep.

Amazing pictures. I love that everything is vintage too.

I have a long velvet dress which I'm planning on turning into a mini. Need to get out the machine and get cracking though otherwise it will never get done.

Great blog!

those shoes are wicked.

i only just bought a velvet dress from topshop - a lot of my friends have the body-con one in various colours but they just brought out a skater style which i snapped up, so easy to dress up or down. i love velvet.

Love everything about these pictures! Particularly the outfit! Gorgeous setting and lighting too. It makes me hate this English weather and that's saying a lot as I love nothing more than a good excuse for cable knit jumpers and hot chocolate!

medical tourism said...

What a beautiful view! Your dress, you look adorable on it. It’s very girly and that hat made the entire look very sophisticated.

Oh! I love the shoes you’re wearing on this photo. And your outfit is just perfect for a beautiful sunset.
