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!

I know it's something of a blogger cliché, but I have always wanted to take some outfit photos in front of a tree as it blossoms in all its pink glory. When Lauren suggested a trip to the botanical gardens I didn't have anything more than floral photos in mind, but as soon as we walked through the gate and I saw the pink out of the corner of my eye I did dramatically think "it is time". So here I am, pretending to be girly, and being eternally glad that the bruise on my leg isn't showing, you can't hear any of the swearing as I just miss the tram, or know the sheer amount of beer that's been consumed this week alone. It's amazing what a pretty dress can do, even if I apparently can't pull it down at the front; I knew I'd slip up at some point.

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!
