Sunny Side Up

I spent the most part of my weekend listening to Paolo Nutini's albums- These Streets and Sunny Side Up. I think I might have managed to single-handedly deafen those in my flat, along with all my neighbours down the hall. Either that, or I have them humming tunes to at least five different songs all at once thinking who sings this? (I'm truly sorry). Oh, but you neighbour to my right who insists that there is no time more perfect than 4 in the morning to practice your electric guitar, that extra loud New Shoes tune was for you.

After my incessant listening session I was on a 'happy high', and decided to match that with my brightest skirt in none other than yellow of course. Paired with my mum's very old shirt and a pair of boots to wade through the rain and turbulent wind that was trying to rain on my parade.

Happy Tuesday!

Grey Scale

This past weekend in Toronto definitely had me thinking I was back in London. Incessant rain trying to rush us into Fall much earlier than planned, completely threw my plans of heading to the seaside and possibly having a barbecue, right out the door.

Instead, I decided to bake some cookies and start on another not-so-summer-anymore read Anil's Ghost by Michael Ondaatje; "a story about love, about family, about identity...a story propelled by a riveting mystery". I'm only through the first chapter, but these claims definitely hold true. Has anyone else read it....or even heard about it? 

I also finished reading the Kite Runner a while back, and for those who asked, it is most definitely worth the read. Such a well written book, it had me crying from both laughter and sorrow while being completely transported into the life of the characters. 

Not to be outdone, I decided to match the grey skies head on with this monochromatic grey attire. I had initially tried wearing a maxi dress as skirt here and thought I'd give it another go with this grey dress from forever21. Paired with a distressed shirt from Mango, and a diy turban made from an h&m leopard print scarf (okay, I couldn't do the dreary look from head to toe). Have you tried any other monochrome colours? 


Hope you all had a more summer-like weekend than I. Thanks for all your sweet comments and a big welcome to my new readers. I'll be stopping by all your blogs soon. Have a lovely week ahead!

Bisous,
