Sometimes I have this rather grand idea about how an outfit will look, not be so convinced when I try it on, and then realise I'm late and have to leave wearing it anyway. Here is a perfect example. Although I like the idea of it (come on, stripes and jeans, what could go wrong?), I feel like it's just not quite right, somehow. Regardless of being able to tell that I'd indulged in Burger House the weekend before (no regrets, that burger was amazing), I think this would've been made better with a statement necklace; I've been eyeing up this one's chunky square jewels, or considering something more classic like pearls. That, or I've been reading Arabella's blog too much and think everything deserves a bit of sparkle, you decide. Right now it seems like I'm not being the fussiest of bloggers when it comes to photos, but I guess when life is so hectic and fast-paced a photo in which I haven't captured my best angle or my hair's frizzy hardly seems the end of the world, and it seemed a shame to not use the photos when I quite like the background and lighting. Just need to work on the subject...

On another note, have any of you ever been to Zurich before? Lauren and I are planning to head there for a weekend soon (...on Friday), and would love to hear if you have any recommendations for hotels or things we must do and see, so please do leave a comment or tweet me if you have some little nuggets of wisdom to share!
