Summer Dreams...

That was quick! Summer, I mean ;-)





As the UK approaches Autumn, it's fun to look back at recent fun times....such as 'Making like a Tourist in London' day!
From taking a rickshaw on Westminster Bridge, braving the intense crowds at the London Eye to almost getting drenched at Southbank's Fountain, truly glorious times were had.

As I had plans for the early evening (in the opposite direction from where I live) and also a mental note to adhere to a casual/smart dress code.
Digressing slightly...I cannot think of a single person who appreciates being advised' dress casual/smart'...I mean, it's hardly helpful is it! It can be frustrating and time consuming picking a suitable outfit!
















 Anyways, I think I hit the nail on the head with this dress! 

This amazing book clutch is from a selection at TK Maxx....seriously roomy!
and the sandals are from River Island 

For me, it ticks multiple boxes - 

  • just above knee length
  • floaty sleeves (covers top of arms)
  • v-neck
  • material thin enough so I can wear with a jacket (thinking Winter wardrobe)
  • And the best part...it's a supermarket buy! Yes, I got this glorious frock from Tescos Florence & Fred range.



When in doubt, blow your own trumpet! 

For this day it was perfect attire to see me through day and night. Accompanied with my Gap trench coat...just in case the weather changes suddenly...trust me when I say UK weather can change at the flick of a switch.

Those lines tho...

Mount of Jupiter is going IN... 


So, last weekend I had my hands palms read, and trust me when I say....what I was told is goooood! 


Thank you Katy Hussey for such a beautiful illustration :-)))
There are many people who throw shade at Palmistry,  which I'm cool with (each to their own after all).

Some of the things I find intriguing/appreciate about palmistry is -
  •  it's to be treated a a guide or suggestion, not a depiction of how your future is definitely going to be set
  • the lines on your hands tend to change over the course of your life.
  • it can encourage more positive thoughts about your life decisions. (Especially when your career is within a precarious industry). Your thoughts become your things, after all!
So, as we are already in the eighth month of 2016 (gulp) I truly hope your hopes and dreams are still progressing steadily along. 
What do you think about Palmistry? 
How are your plans coming along? 

I'd love to know, so comment below! xo
