A Day At The Races- What I Wore

The Saturday before last myself and a few friends spent the day at Ascot Racecourse for King George Weekend to celebrate my birthday. After the Friday being the most grim day ever I was dreading the weather being just as wet and rainy the following day but I was so happy to wake up to bright sunshine- perfect for my summer outfit of choice! The day was really lovely with drinks flowing and huge amounts of picnic food. Unfortunately I didn't win anything but maybe next year eh! I opted for this gorgeous floral midi skirt teamed with a metallic cami and beige wedges, and accessorised with a pale blue Whistles clutch. Shop the look below.

Afternoon Tea at Sopwell House

Thursday 16th July was my birthday and to celebrate James took me for afternoon tea at Sopwell House in Hertfordshire. I was so surprised James had organised this because he's not really into the whole tea and cake thing but he knows how much I love it and it fitted into the rest of the days plans so it was a really lovely idea! Having not been to afternoon tea before he had no idea what sort of thing that he was looking for but he did amazingly well- Sopwell House was beautiful!

Woburn Safari Park

Since James and I have left university and moved back to our family homes it's become a lot more difficult to see each other. With James living just outside of Milton Keynes and me living closer to Windsor (an hours drive) along with the fact that both of us work full time, we're now restricted to seeing each other only at the weekends. We've been doing this for about 7 months now so I've become pretty used to it and I like that it makes me feel that I've always got something lined up for the weekends. Often when we visit each other we'll go out for dinner and drinks or stay in and watch films however recently we've decided that when we go to see each other it would be nice to make an effort to plan to do something a little bit different and so this weekend we took a trip to Woburn Safari Park.
