A Perfect Spring Day...

Due to our washing machine being a bit sick and the massive stack of washing that needed to be done on the weekend we drove out to David’s dads house to do a load (or three). It was a beautiful Spring day and I was dressed to go to an engagement party that night (wearing the infamous booties) and so we decided to take some pictures.

Due to it being spring the massive Rhododendron tree was in full bloom and the garden surrounding it was covered in a carpet of red petals. Underneath was the perfect little tree bench to sit on with beautiful dappled light.


And thanks to the lovely Casey I tried doing a light eyeline with a felt tipped eyeliner pen and the tiniest little flick at the end which I did rather like. I’m going to get braver and do a bigger flick when the time comes.

Wow, the tree and the blossom is so beautiful! I like your outfit, and the little shoe-booties are super cute.

Damn I would have come over and fixed your washing machine but my flannel shirt is in the wash (ironically!) hehe.

I love your outfit here - the shoes are really something! And nice work on the eyeliner - subtlety goes a long way, I reckon I could take some of that advice hehe!

How PERFECTLY spring! The eyeliner looks lovely, I think you could make the line wider along the outer edge for a more glam look though.
