My Month: August

Last month, I decided to share just my outfits and I quite liked that format so it’s back this month too, but in a bumper edition. I realised I missed out on sharing one of my favourite things in life, food! And also where I had been. I know that half the fun of these posts is the being nosey so get yourself a cuppa (or something stronger if you’re reading this later on,) and step into my world for a little while…

• Pancakes for breakfast (recipe here)
• Cocktails with my sister at my favourite bar in Manchester, The Alchemist
• All ready for my burger at a BBQ in Southport
• Asparagus and Gruyere tart – so simple and so delicious.
• My first bakewell tart.
• Trying the new no-bread Pret duck and hoi sin sauce sandwich
• Drinking too much wine. Just too much. All month.

• Brit Mil Fit clothes…
• Rocking the brogues, love them with my pink trousers rolled up
• Printed pants.
• Maxing out the patterns in the warm weather in my tribal skirt and old favourite Zara dress
• Peach Fizz for my nails, wearing Chanel Orange Fizz under Deborah Lippmann‘s ‘Glitter in the Air’.
• Yellow and navy for work.
• Weekend casual for a trip to Dunham Massey with our niece and family. (And the x100!)
• Polka dots and patent pumps for work.
• Braving out the pink trousers and red Hunters clash for a weekend walk in the rain.

• Loving the Olympics and being very sad when the closing ceremony brought things to a close.
• Enjoying the light nights and warm weather mid-month.
• Get a hair cut!
• Fabric shopping for craft projects
• Obsessing over the gorgeous moody shades in these hydrangeas
• Starting the London Fashion Week planning.
• Visiting the Southport Flower Show
• A long walk in one of my favourite places – Kirby Lonsdale (Devils bridge and the River Lune shown here)
• And a cute message from my husband… proving that sometimes all you need is an ‘Olive you’.
