It's like a heatwave!

Listen to this as you read!

London has over the last couple of days been experiencing a mini heat wave! 

It was 28 degrees on Wednesday and taking this information on board I 

thought it would be a great idea to wear my favourite felt hat and rayon

 dress combo. I can assure you I was boiling. Aimee and I decided to make

 the most of the weather and take a stroll around my local area in a quest for

 pints of cold cider and a bench in the shade.

We went and bought the most amazing raspberry vegan cheese cake from

 Gossip Cafe on Broadway Market. We sat down and ate it outside the

 Cat & Mutton which is a really lovely pub if you can manage to get a seat!

After gorging ourselves on cake and petting the most adorable puppy ever we 

decided to wonder into the City Farm which is opposite my new flat. Its a 

community run organisation which helps locals to experience farming, bee 

keeping, gardening and other such pursuits right in the heart of London! As

 a country girl at heart I love this place, you can find me here every morning 

around 11 talking to the pigs.

I wore my favourite early 40s day dress that I got on my work bonus at Rokit.

 The print of the fabric is really what makes it so special, if you look really 

closely you can see the spiderwebs behind the roses. The dress is hand made, 

and I have a black dress that I wore on our trip to Berlin which appears to 

be cut from the very same pattern. Perhaps I shall blog about them soon. 

would be so fun to try and find the pattern that they were both made from

 and make a third!

Here's a close up of my 20's peach hat that I picked up from a charity shop

about a year ago for £17. It is by far my number 1 hat. And I have a lot of

hats, so this one is pretty special to me! 

Back at the flat we relaxed on my terrace and began the notorious '3 Hour Knit', 
but more on that another day! Look at Aimee's lovely shoes! I believe these are
 her early 50s heels from Brighton. Her fan she picked up from a charity shop to 
cool herself down in dance class! Its made of wooden lacquer and is covered in
 the cutest hand painted flowers 

She also wore her amazing primark palazzo pants  with a silk blouse 40s 
bangles and 50s shell necklace. I don't know about you guys but I am 
seriously into this outfit. Its got some sort of tropical beach holiday in
Indonesia vibe. I'm sure a few of you will get what I mean!

I'll leave you with this picture, excuse my face this taken post three pints of

cider and 4 hours of burning heat. It was such a lovely day, I can't say I am looking 

forward to Autumn weather anymore! All of our love, I hope everyone is well 

even if the sun isn't shinning where you are!
