A warm midsummers day, one perfect for a bbq full of friends!
Henry had some friends from university staying at his new family home, so took the opportunity to to have everyone over for a bbq.
After a rushed morning of tired band members, the morning after a gig, whizzing around various super markets to buy burgers and beers, we thought we'd relax and start the bbq with a game of croquet.
Seriously sophisticated for us students!
Tired and quite positively famished from our two games... (ha!) we retired to the table and got the bbq going!
We laughed and drank, then indulged once the food was done!
I made Lemon Drizzle Cake that went down an absolute storm. I wish I'd made more, it was gone in a heartbeat!
That afternoon we grazed and picked at the yummy food, we drank, we played with Hen's doggy, Milo, we laughed and we caught up on what had been a busy summer!
How stunning is Lucy's maxi dress from Topshop?!
Then, it was time for another game of croquet.
Luce & I were determined to win...
We lost. Big time. Last, in fact.
Clearly, croquet isn't our forte!
The sun started to set and the air cooled a little, but determined to enjoy what was left of summer. We stayed out until the early hours.
Fire pit and chiminea a' blaze.
I could of taken photos of the smouldering logs and coal for hours.
When the sun had disappeared and the moon was shining brightly, we all sat around the fire pit.
Couples kissed and cuddled, old friends laughed about past times, new friendship started, friends joked and caught up on each others lives and we all buzzed about our next year at university
. Everyone was merry, happiness and positivity filled the smoky, warm air.
Waving a hello to the autumn that's just eagerly waiting to arrive, we toasted marshmallows until we physically could fit any more in.
One by one and couple by couple, we start to slink off to rest our eyes after a long and fun day.
The perfect way to end Summer.

On warm days with a slight breeze bringing in a few fluffy clouds, you want a kimono!
A Kimono is the perfect solution, not too thick to make you too hot, yet enough to cover you up and protect you from a little bit of a chilly breeze!
What I'm Wearing:
Kimono - Brandy Melville
Cream Cami - Topshop
Blue Super Skinny Jeans - New Look
Sunglasses - Forever 21
Cream Belt - Primark
Hamsa Necklece - Primark
Silver Ring - Accessorize
Shoes - Matalan
The fit gardener (a.k.a my boyfriend...) was roaming about on the tractor too... how distracting!

I'll tell you want I want, what I really, really want...
(Couldn't resist a Spice girls reference*, sorry)
'Enjoy The Simple Things In Life' Cushion H&M - I'm collecting up bit for my room in my new flat and this cushion would be perfect on my bed. Lovely little saying to keep me positive.
KMS California Tame Frizz - I have the frizziest hair. Not quite an afro, but pretty frizzy and sometimes it can be a little un-tame-able! I like to blowdry my hair so I need to ban that frizz sometimes! Apparently this stuff is perfect for taming it.
BeautyMarks 'The New Makeup' - These look super cool. Gold foil tattoos. Perfect for festivals and holidays. I bet they look great with a tan.
Missguided Pierina Geometric Print Playsuit - I love the colours in this playsuit, the clashing, yet at the same time matching patterns looks so chic. Also a very flattering neckline!
KIKO Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow - I've really wanted to buy the By Terry Ombre Blackstar eyeshadow sticks, but at the steep price of £28 from Space NK I couldn't bring myself to do it. These KIKO dupes apparently live up to the hype so I really want to get my hands on a few.
Big Spoon, Little Spoon Pillow Cases - Love at first sight with these! Definitely going in my new room in September! I'm sure I can't be the only one whose boyfriend always make them be the big spoon?!
What items having you been lusting over recently?

*Apologies for that spice girls reference, I'll admit it was awful... haha!
