Yesterday I went for an 'in between' outfit, by that I mean that though it was lovely and sunny and it was so hot in the house there was still a chill in the air:
Cardigan, Top, Vest Top & Shorts - H&M, Tights - H&M, Shoes - New Look
For Mothers Day the family and I went on a little road trip to Oxford where my sis went to uni and what a beautiful day it was so I thought I would share it with you guys...
I love Oxford, its such a picturesque little town with great architecture, and cute little shops and cafes, next time I visit when the weather is hotter I might try my hand at punting - that's where you navigate a little boats down the river with a rather large stick :)
As you can tell, we happened across a cute traditional sweet shop where they sold every kind of confectionery you can think of, we also turned up just in time for Oxford's chocolate festival and bagged ourselves a rather large slice of carrot cake mmmmm
We then ventured on to late lunch at Quod, it's a posh restaurant just on the highstreet where I treated myself to a very tasty Virgin Mary.
The food was OK, not the best I've had, and also we seemed to be terribly unlucky....I found a short and curly in my food, and I'd already eaten half EW!!! Though they deducted my meal from the bill they 'accidentally' put 5 extra drinks on - so all in all not the greatest Mothers Day meal!
I also got an excuse to do some outdoor shoots today in the lovely streets of Oxford:
I have to admit, I felt a tiny bit like a plonker, it's something I'm not used to at all and I just felt people thought I loved myself....which I don't, but I do think surroundings add to an outfit post and I really like these shots, though I'm super wrapped up and you can't see much of my outfit. So I think I am going to try and get some more 'on the street' snaps!
What did everyone else do for Mothers Day? What do you think of my snaps?

taking outfit pics in the streets makes you feel so weird sometimes. anyway I think you get used to it. Your street shots look great. love the backgrounds. and shorts were meant to be worn with tights - I guess ^^
love, kimi
Oo I love your outfit. That scarf is amazing & so are those shoes! I'd love a pair of loafers like that. That is such a weird restaurant experience! That's so crazy that they tried to sneak in those drinks! Still, you were in Oxford, so I'm jealous. ^_^
Ahh, isn't Oxford so lovely? I always feel a bit self concious taking pictures in public, but these pictures are so lovely it definitely paid off :) adore your shoes! xx
Your outfits are so cute :)
great layering!
love your shoes my dear! great color of shorts:)
