It's officially picnic weather! This weekend we spent the afternoon in the English Gardens with a lot of food and an equal amount of laughs. Apparently most of Munich decided this was the perfect time to head to the park too, but we managed to bag a sunny spot so the crowds were soon forgotten. Rosa brought her camera too so expect so expect to see photos on her blog soon, and looking through my own only made me realise how much more comfortable I am behind the camera than in front of it, but I managed to nab a few outfit snaps off Marine before the sun set.

I was very lucky to be sent a pair of sunnies to style up by the lucky ladies at Sunglasses Shop, and it makes a nice change from my usual rotation of 50p charity shop and Primark frames. They were kind enough to let me share the love with you guys too, and are offering a reader the chance to win a pair of Michael Kors sunglasses too - maybe you could get a pair of Michael Kors Paige sunglasses and we could match! Just enter below for your chance to win (please note you must do all three of the first options to be considered) - and fingers crossed!

This is hardly a groundbreaking outfit, but for some reason it's a combination that I'm really quite a big fan of. Worn when Carmen and I spent the day checking out the AMD graduates' final collections and then wandered through the Munich equivalent of Mayfair. As we walked along, it was clear to see that we were the interns to the rest of the crowd's Chanel and Louis Vuitton bags. Maybe we'll get there one day!

Even though it may not be Mother's Day in Germany, I did make sure I left a little something behind when I visited last week. Here's to all the amazing women out there who serve as a daily inspiration. And, you know, my mum in particular.

You fall for angel eyes.

Eye print blouse: c/o Persunmall. American Apparel skirt: £30. Vintage Levi's denim jacket: mum's. Vintage Bally boots: £8, charity shop. Vintage bag: gift. Vintage belt: 20p charity shop. Cheap Monday sunglasses.

So, if you couldn't guess from my "omg scones", "omg nando's", and "omg costa" instagrams over the past few days (fyi, I did do things over than eat, but they're not worth mentioning), I took a quick trip back to the UK. Successfully surprising my mum by casually walking through the front door on Sunday evening, we spent the next day wandering round Battlesbridge, a village which is home to antiques, quaint English countryside, and one of the best presented cream teas I've ever had (and it was only £6!). A rather stark contrast to Saturday's antics which involved picnic-themed cocktails at Purl and shivering for the N550 at an hour I'd rather not think about, I like to think I had a rather well-rounded time at home, rather than spending it entirely in my pyjamas and catching up on lost sleep.

When faced with the prospect of what to bring with me to Germany, I seemed to prioritise teabags over clothes, so opening my wardrobe door was like getting an (almost) new closet. This skirt is an old favourite which hasn't made it onto the blog that often, but I paired it with my new eye-print tee which arrived on my desk the day before heading home - perfect timing! But now I've landed back in Munich, it's about time I stopped putting off heading to the shop and actually prepared for getting back into a routine tomorrow. Thank god I imported over 100 Yorkshire teabags.
