Proceed to make an idiot of yourself! Or at least that was my philosophy
for the day!
First of all let's get the outfit photo out of the way!
I'm wearing an old Topshop playsuit with a jersey shirt and my new H&M jumper
over the top. Comfy and warm...bliss!
The scarf was a present from a couple of Christmas's ago and my boots were from
ebay.
My younger sister Chloe and I went for a picnic today...However the weather had something else in mind and we ended up drenched and cold, huddled under a tree waiting for a taxi to take us to her place!
For further evidence of this please view here!
Back in the warm and dry and our picnic commenced with red pepper humous, olives and pitta! Yum!
And a cheeky little treat of Mississippi Mud Pie cupcakes!
Chloe with her two childhood toys, 'Humphrey' the Hippo and the imaginatively named 'Snowman'! My elder brother and I used to tease her rotten by making Snowman 'fly' across the room! Poor Chlo!
A photo on the drawers in her room..I'm probably about seven or eight here, making Chloe three or four. The dog we have with us is Meg, who unbelievably only passed away this year, a few weeks short of turning 18!
Now do you remember readers, how after my moped accident I swore that I would finally learn to cartwheel in celebration?
Well I'm true to my word, and the following are my attempts!
First of all...Chloe is the MASTER of cartwheeling! Not only does she make it look so easy but she can do it perfectly, time after time after time!
See...!
What a show off!
Here I am nervously preparing for hurling myself over the wet field...Readers, what follows is by no means graceful!
My first attempts...
Most of which resulted in my nearly falling over, either from a lack of balance or a fit of giggles!
My second round of attempts....(oh dear god!)
What I lack in grace I certainly make up for in perseverance. However it seemed the weather took pity on me, and the heavens opened once more resulting us having to run inside again!
I look like a broken Barbie doll for crying out loud!!
What a lovely rainy day!
Thank you for all of the questions I've been receiving via my tumblr or email,
some have really made me laugh!
I'll be working on the FAQ feature within the next week or so.
I also have some really exciting posts in the pipeline which I'm so excited
about but I can't share with you yet - hurumph!
Hope you had a great day too!
Love Yours Truly, x
the photos of you are sooo cute:)
ReplyDeletethat's something I never could do a cartwheel. love the post.
ReplyDeleteYou are about as ungraceful as I am, but the clothing makes it look splendid.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I have the same snowman. I bring it out as part of my Christmas decor.
Oh that stinks that your picnic got rained out, but at least you made the best of the situation:) Oh and don't feel too bad about not being about doing the perfect cartwheel. I could never do it either!! My body is too lopsided;)
ReplyDeleteawww - keep trying! And stay dry! eek!
ReplyDeleteaww bless, you look so cute trying. love your posts, they always make my day.

Ha, what a cute post! I haven't cartwheeled in years... inspired to give it a go now! x
ReplyDeleteLoved this post! I also really fancy seeing if I can do a cartwheel again?! I only have a poxy bit of flat roof though, so I'll wait till I have more space!
ReplyDeleteLove the tights too!

That seems like a fun day :D
ReplyDeleteI'm not an expert in cartwheeling either and always envy those who can make it better. But on the other hand, it's supposed to be fun, so it doesn't have to look perfect ;)

Haha, well at least you tried to do it, right? I don't think I could anymore, though I used to as a kid. I'd probably hurt my back in the process hah.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a really fun day, rainy picinic and all. I haven't tried to do a cartwheel for years but I hope I can still do them, I shall try soon.
ReplyDeleteI love your boots!
Your outfit is adorable! Love your cartwheel shots. The last one looks like you are falling from the sky :) Sounds like you two had a fantastic time!
ReplyDeleteHaha I like your philosophy :) You look adorable!

Sounds like you two had fun despite the weather and both of your outfits are super cute. Loooove red pepper homous, you've given me a craving!
ReplyDeleteOh my I have that Snowman! I've had him since I was five! His name is Snowman as well and a lot worse for wear than your sisters, but I love him all the same.
ReplyDeleteYou and your sister are both so cute!
Ahahaha I love the cartwheeling photos so much! I'm pretty good at them if I do say so myself but I spent a good portion of my childhood in gymnastics lessons so that would be why. Are the cupcakes from Tesco?? It says bad things about my diet that I recognise them!!
ReplyDeleteHeeHee. SO cute! I love the cartwheels. You and your friend look so cute.
ReplyDeleteXOXO

ReplyDeleteAnother lovely post!
ReplyDeleteYour style is a true inspiration to a vintage wedding planning bride!
I loved the penny slots post too- trying to figure out how much it would cost to hire some for my reception now :)
Looking forward to more posts!

Hahaha! Aww, trying to cartwheel. I think I learned to cartwheel down a slight hill. That made it easier. At any rate, you look cute!
