Outfit Post: Beamish

It wouldn't be a Bank Holiday without a trip to Beamish!

Well that might not be true for everyone but it is to me.

So I bet you can guess where I went last Bank Holiday Monday... that's right Beamish.

I decided to dig deep in my draws (get your minds out the gutter!) and pull out some old items I haven't worn in a long time and this is what I came up with.

Top - H&M

Belt - Off a Lindy Bop Dress

Skirt - eBay

Petticoat - eBay

I chose neutral coloured makeup with a small beehive hairdo. This is the day I sprayed perfume in my eye, hence the watery look.

Sadly I don't have a picture of my whole outfit where my hair isn't in my face so you'll just have to put with with only seeing half my beauty :p

Till next time folks,

Sheffield: What I wore day 3

The last day of out trip was a sad one as it signified the return to the gray North and the return to work... but I did wear a cute outfit so it wasn't all that bad :p

 

Cardigan - H&M

Top - Primark

Skirt - Primark

I wore flip flops on my feet because after two days of wearing naff shoes I had the most enormous blisters  on my little toes... I still have the scars.

This guy didn't look too bad either, in fact he looked pretty damn fine.

On our way home we stopped at Hardwick Hall, as ever with the National Trust no photos could be taken inside but I did get plenty outside.

Take a look...

With this big old tree outside it reminded me a little of Downton Abbey.

Sheffield: What I Wore Day 2

On the second day of our trip we took a wonder into the town center.

Once again the hot sun was out and it was a beautiful day...I chose to wear a petticoat, a decision I later came to regret. Boy was I warm!

Here's what I wore

Dress - lindy-bop.com

Petticoat - eBay

Shoes - Primark

I have to say out of all the Lindy bop dresses I won this one is my most favourite.

I couldn't go anywhere in it without some one stopping me to compliment it or without hearing some one say something about it was I walked past.

The best thing is that Lindy Bop not have it in 2 other colours... guess what I'm getting!

Once again I couldn't be bothered to sit and pin curl properly so a quick curl was all the hair got.

Excuse the mess, it's the misters, my side was spick and span(ish)

Check out my sunburn.

I was lobster red in that area for a few days, lesson learned!

Sheffield: What I Wore Day 1

A few weeks ago my mister and I took a little trip to Sheffield... not the most exotic of places but I must say I enjoyed it immensely.

The sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky the whole 4 days we were there which meant summer outfits came out to play! (they went straight back in upon returning to cold and rather gloomy Shields however)

On our first day we took a trip to the zoo and got a wee bit sunburned oops!

 Anyhoo here's what I wore.

Trousers - ASOS

Vest Top - George

Kimono - A Gift

Shoes - Primark

I adored wearing this outfit I felt so pretty in it until a little girl stood on the back on my trousers with her muddy shoe, then I just felt a bit of a scruff :/

For such a relaxed outfit I felt simple hair and makeup were in order... plus I couldn't be bothered sit and pin curl.

All in all it was the perfect day out made better by this guy...The monkey... scroll down

He's so darn cute!

Beningbrough Hall

WARNING!

 There's not an awful lot of vintage in this post in fact there's almost non at all but still enjoy these pictures.

So on Sunday I ended up at Beningbrough Hall near York.

I was meant to go on Saturday and had this cute little Gingham outfit on but it rained so we changed our plans last minuet (at that explains why I look so drab in these photos).

As with most National Trust properties you sadly can't take photos inside, which is a real shame because they had this great WW1 exhibit on, so there's a lot of pictures of flowers and the outside of building coming up.

 The Victorian Laundry

 Bad photo... sorry

 The walled gardens really made me feel like I was in The Secret Garden

 Me looking an absolute mess, I made up for the outfit with some victory rolls though.

I might add that although you can't tell in this picture the sweater I'm wearing is really cute. It's H&M and only £7. It has a cute little button detail up the sleeves too.

That is all :)

 There were butterflies everywhere

 You also couldn't move without these darned hornets getting in your way.

 The back of the house which looks almost identical to the front.

Beamish Open Air Museum

We took a trip to Beamish open air museum.

No words, just pictures. I'm feeling lazy today.

Here we go....
