So then, the wi-fi works!
In typical form, I've managed to balance things out by killing some form of technology and MELTED the tv remote control by not realising it was on top of the fire. I am exceedingly dim sometimes.
It's quite dead.
The cottage is lovely and I'm having a fab time so far - shall do general holiday photos at some point this week if you won't be bored by them, but for today I shall just do a quick outfit post. I really must get more comfortable with someone taking my picture as I feel really self conscious still and so all the photos taken of me today look awful and really unflattering! Ho hum. Back to the tripod it is.

Jumper - H&M
Shorts - H by Henry Holland at Debenhams
Tights - M&S I think. They're a lot darker and greener than they're showing up in these pics.
Boots - Evans
Coat - Tu
Ribbon - from a Lush giftset
Socks - Dorothy Perkins
Nails - Barry M in Racing Green (v. difficult to photograph properly!)
I quickly replaced the ribbon with a knitted headband/earwarmer thingy as it was so flipping cold today but no pics of that. There will probably be some soon though because I rather love it. Not as much as I love these shorts though. Aren't they great? 25% off as well - gotta love random sale weeks.
Loving the shorts and tights! That remote looks well fried.
ReplyDeleteLol i love that first photo!
ReplyDeleteThose shorts are gorgeous xx
Your shorts are the star of the show!!! Seriously, I adore them!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. Whenever I have someone else take my photos, I look so uncomfortable. It is too bad that the limited lighting of the season has caused all of my pictures to be grainy!!! I may need to not to outfit photos til spring!
I think you look really fab - love the tights/shorts combo. Hope you're having a great time and yes would love to see the pics. xxx
ReplyDeletePoor remote :(
ReplyDeleteLuckily it did not leave a stain at all - you hear that, mrs cottage lady?! :D
I LOVE those tights!! How awesome are they?? (answer= very) I have been getting into solid tights lately, which is so unlike me considering I'm a pattern girl but they're just so irresistible!
ReplyDeleteThe remote made me laugh out loud...:) hahha!
yay for the odd socks!
ReplyDeletethe image of your remote control really did make me laugh
seems like you are having lots and lots of fun xx
Shorts gorgeous, hairband gorgeous, and the remote control made me giggle sitting up here in bed! Poor thing, it had no chance. Looking forward to seeing your holiday snaps later this week x
ReplyDeleteJust stumbled on your blog! OH MY WORDDDD. My mouth actually dropped when I saw the picture of the TV Remote. And then I giggle a bit. Is that bad? RIP, TV Remote.
ReplyDeleteYou look so adorable! Wearing bright tights is my favvvv. You look like the forest on acid. (That was totally a compliment, by the way..)

ReplyDeleteIt's bloody cold, isn't it? I'm thinking of makinf some earmuffs 'cos cold lugholes are just vile.
Can't believe you've ruined the remote. xxx
Oh Jesus you really well and truly have frazzled that remote!
ReplyDeleteThose tights and shorts look stunning, I wish I could pull off coloured tights x
You so suit shorts, look fab, love the nail varnish also.
ReplyDeleteI reckon banging the remote on your leg would sort it out. :)

I love your outfit, it is so fun! And I am loving that nail polish color, if only I could stop biting my nails, I would be able to wear nail polish as well ;)
ReplyDeleteI totally have a Lush ribbon that I wear as a headband!! Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteAlso loving those tights, I got some from M&S in a raspberry red type colour, I could not be more in love with them if I tried.
You didn't just melt the tv remote, you MELTED it!
The TV remote kind of looks like weird modern art! I'm sure it's a metaphor for the X-Factor generation or something...
ReplyDeleteLove those lovely tights! Hope you're having a lovely relaxing holiday - or are you back now? :s
ReplyDeleteI booked a ticket for the knitty thing at the weekend! Can only make Sunday though, don't know when you're going? x
Cute shorts! Bummer about the remote! You gotta laugh though. Why not turn it into art or jewellery!? x
ReplyDeleteDear Alex, that remote has had it! It's really made me laugh though. I hope you can operate the television from the set.
ReplyDeleteLove the shorts and tights, you look fab. I still haven't done my post inspired by you but I will. You must let me know when you are going to be home. I hope you're having a lovely relaxing time xx
