Polka Love

Primark Dress & Belt, New Look Shoes

     Worn this outfit when I went to visit my in-laws for an afternoon tea in their garden. When it comes to meeting the in-laws, ladies should avoid wearing too much make up or revealing clothes, so I picked this cute dress to make me look sweet and adorable in front of them. Have I done a good job? I hope so.

     And honestly, I've never been this excited to see the sun! It has been continuously wet and cold here, and no wonder why a lot of Europeans who travel to hot countries appreciates the sunny weather so much. I'm so looking forward for my next holidays, but I'll just have to enjoy this warm(ish) weather in the garden for now.

New-In: Pre-Summer Haul

     Weather is drab that I can't consider it a full blow summer yet. Eventhough we were teased with a bit of sunshine here and there, it's not gonna be long before I finally get to enjoy the outdoors again. And when new season comes in, so are the new outfits. Here are my latest finds:

First off, I snatched this H&M Leopard Bomber Jacket for only £7! I'm not quiet sure if there is anything in my wardrobe that I can match this up with, but I still bought it anyway. The light material is perfect for the summer heat, yet good enough to combat the chilly wind.

Summer is not complete without vest tops so I started collecting some. Leopard print and light pink tops I got from New Look, while the Aztec printed top from H&M. 

This bright cobalt blue skinny jeans immediately caught my attention when I saw it hanging on the Sale rack. The length is perfect for my midget legs, and it fits perfectly around my waist and thighs. Got them for only £8 in H&M.

Me and hubby recently signed up for this new gym in town opening next month. I'm never a consistent gym-goer, but hopefully dragging hubby along could give me that little push I need.  While waiting for the opening date,  I bought myself an Adidas capri trouser, and H&M sports bra to get me in the fitness mood. 

Midi dresses are so in this season. I was debating whether to buy one or not 'coz the length might make me look shorter than I already am. After trying it on, I just proved myself wrong at the end. Wanted to go away from the usual black, grey and white shades and opted for this Aztec-print ones from Primark (For only £10, not bad eh?)

Here are more of my Primark finds. Black pointed shoes £10, Leopard shoes £3 (Felt so lucky when I spotted the last one on my size!), and feminine wedge shoes for £12.

   So there you go. What's your favourite summer pieces? 

Time Travel

Ebay(River Island) Coat, River Island Jumper, Missguided Dress, 

Marks&Spencer Boots, New Look Scarf

     I'm in my blogging mode, so here is a throwback of what I wore on a Valentine's Day trip to Bath with hubby. Worn this outfit on our last day in the city, and you can see more of my outfit and about Bath in my previous post. I enjoyed browsing through our old photos, and if weather permits, would love to travel somewhere again. With sun starting to wake up from its sleep, I am looking forward to a more warmer Britain. Maybe we could head on to the beach and wear something light for a change.

The Roman Bath

     I've already shared about my latest trip to Bath. And the major reason why tourists travel all the way here because of the historical Roman Bath, which has been stunningly preserved after so many years. I was amazed when I first sighted it, and I'll let these photos tell you the rest of the story.

     Just over the fence is the Bath's modern street and roads, built right above the Roman Baths. Walking around the city is literally walking above the famous baths. Makes me wonder if the whole city is a lot warmer during winter season.

     Out of curiousity, I leaned down to check if the water is actually hot, eventhough it's not advisable to do so. It is unsafe for bathing, however Thermae Bath Spa, allows modern day bathers to experience the water for themselves.

     This archway leads me to, guess what, more baths. And inside, you can see a massive space divided into different rooms. One as changing room, the next room used to climatize / adopt the body to the heat, and more smaller baths. It is said that men and women goes in the same bath all naked. Garsh!

          This place is definitely worth a visit. I would most probably come back for a day out since it's only an hour away. Maybe I could try the Thermae Bath Spa and experience a bit of luxury, or visit the Fashion Museum which I missed the last time.
