More Sunshine Hours

All Photos from My Instagram- pink_sunshine_london

After my crazy work summer it was awesome to take last week off and go and visit my friend on the Isle Of Wight, just off the south coast of England.

I love visiting her anyway but it was all the sweeter for the beautiful weather we had all week:)

Friends, tea, beach, cliffs, charity shops, pretty things, hills, driving, fish and chips

= lovely week:)

I am excited for the start of September, there is something about this month that sings to me of new starts, crisper air and new stationary.

I always like to think about goals and things in September, even more than January. I have some exciting things coming up too, which I should be sharing over the next month so keep your eyes open!!!

Happy Monday everyone!!!

Film Style - Long Hot Summer

I watched The Long Hot Summer a few weeks ago and fell in love with the way Joanne dresses!

And I thought it was appropriate this balmy hot summer eve to share these screen shots I took.

I love this black dress SO much, its just the most beautiful shape, I love the neckline, the way its tight around the waist and the length is just perfect. I don't have a LBD in my wardrobe and think I may have to fix that!

 This dress is lovely too, a nice button down cotton dress, with a cute belt to clinch it in, I need to make myself a few variations of this in some cute prints for summer I think.

And just for us ladies, old blue eyes, swoon!!

Another cute cotton dress with a belt, this time with an interesting take on the sailor collar.

And finally what might be considered a shapeless blouse is made pretty by a belt and some lace gloves.

I really liked this film and it has given me some ideas for some sewing I would love to do.I am working pretty hard for the next month teaching at a summer school but cant wait to make some things when I am done!

I hope you all had a simply fab weekend in the sun!

In God We Trust

In God We Trust via Calivintage

Its June. . . . .. Supposedly summer.

England hasn't quite cottoned onto the fact yet.  

But when the sun finally decides to show up I fancy swanning around in something simple and cute.

Cue this cute collection out of New York.

I love the clean lines and that sunglasses print is awesome. 

Summer in the city - The 39 steps

I have had a lovely weekend with friends, spending time down by the Southbank, dancing at the beautiful (very hot!!) Rivoli Ballroom, eating a lot of food and then finally last night dressing up to go to the theatre to see The 39 Steps:)

It was such a joyful play. Its my favourite Hitchcock anyway, but as a play I think its even better. Only 4 people play all of the characters. . . . .with a very dapper gent playing Richard Hanney, light brown curly hair and a 'rather fetching pencil moustache' :)

It was fun to dress up as well, people don't dress up for the theatre enough in my opinion.

 Some nice wine in the interval:)

Ps. How amazing are my friend Mr G's trousers??? he out dressed us girls too easily for my liking:)

Hope you all had a lovely weekend? get up to much? 

Happy Tuesday everyone:)
