I loved the beehive that Jac did for me for a recent photoshoot that I couldn't bear to dismantle it. This is my second day of wearing it and I will get a third out of it if I can! I also found a lady wearing a similar style in a magazine I flicked through at the doctor's surgery. I've never heard of her before but it seems she is a chef named Gizzi Erskine, and a quick Google seems to suggest she wears the beehive all the time. She totally rocks it, too!

Scarf is vintage, cardi and possibly t-shirt are Tesco, capris are Matalan and shoes are New Look via Asos.

mayfly via lovebirds vintage

This morning I was out at a photoshoot, for which Jac made me this amazing beehive! The weather was beautiful all day so in the afternoon I headed out to the park with mum and dad to enjoy the sun. 

My DSLR now also seems to be fixed so I've been able to use it again for these photos. Looks soooo much better. 

Clothes are all high street/gifts.

This is what I look like when I decide to try and catch an insect mid-way through having my photo taken. Actually pretty common for me; if it looks interesting I will probably try to catch it.

Success! It is a mayfly (March brown, I think).

rockabilly via lovebirds vintage


Blouse and scarf (worn in hair) - 1950s vintage
Capris - Matalan, two-ish years ago
Shoes - High street

My DSLR has been acting up for a while so I've been using my old point and click but I feel like it tints everything slightly green. I think I've managed to sort out the problem with my DSLR now though, so with luck I can go back to using it soon. 

I wore this outfit to a vintage-themed get together that I went to recently (sorry no photos of the other ladies; there wasn't really chance to take any and actually not too many people dressed vintage despite the theme) and actually felt a bit underdressed for a change. Those who did dress up had all opted for frocks of course!

summer via lovebirds vintage


Dress - Vintage | Accessories - high street/gifts | Shoes - New Look via Asos

The weather is so unpredictable at the moment. One day winter, next day summer. I can't keep up. I really hope that having some nice weather now means we won't get a bad summer later on.

I keep thinking about selling this dress but I started wearing it again and I've actually been wearing it quite a bit recently. I love sundresses for their simple stylishness; so easy to wear when the weather gets warm.

This dress is currently for sale here. I also have a few other things for sale here so go take a look! There are things in a variety of sizes and all £20 or under. I'm in desperate need of the extra wardrobe space and these items deserve to move on to a new owner.

The cold and wind has returned for a while. 

Wetherspoons do great Sunday roasts.
