vintage scarves

Well, it was a lot cooler today that yesterday. Did I jinx it?

Still didn't want to admit defeat, so I just found my bag of thin silk scarves and chucked one on, in my state of blatant denial. I got the green Mickey Mouse scarf (originally from Disneyland Paris) from the bath product shop Lush. If you buy something from there, you can get it "girft-wrapped" for £3.95 in one of their vintage scarves - so of course I picked this one! The red buckle-print scarf was from a charity shop near to where I live.

But the cute horse one I received in the post today, courtesy of Charly at What I Wore Today! I won her lovely giveaway a few days ago, and received the package in the post today. Have a feeling this'll be my new favourite necklace! And the chocolates are in a safe place, far away from my brother....

(Apologies for the appalling quality of the photos, taken in poor natural light and with my phone, it was never really going to work!)

Yesterday was the last time I ever had to wear uniform to school (well, excluding exams...), so all the girls decided to go upon a theme - St Trinian's.

Originally a series of sketches, and then a series of films between 1957-1980, as well as two recent adaptations, St Trinian's' girls are seen as role models of independence and femininity - just what you need when you go to a boy's school!

And to keep up the continuing theme of nature I took these shots in my back garden where there are still some bluebells remaining - they look so pretty :)
