A Message

My beautiful readers,
My exams start on Monday so this is it until precisely June the 22nd.
As I will be absent from the blogosphere until then, I would like to let you all know that I really appreciate all of you reading my ramblings- I wouldn't still be going without you all. Super shout out to my followers!
I swear that I will be very dedicated to blogging throughout the summer- just need to get this GCSE thing done and dusted.
See you on the other side!
Blowing hundreds of kisses to you all,
LB xx

Brighton

Spent the day in Brighton on a school trip to mark the beginning of GCSEs or something and I hadnt actually been there until today! Got to go vintage shopping to the huge Beyond Retro warehouse so as you can imagine I was in heaven! Had to find something to wear for my tea party on the 26th of June... I havnt got time for a long post so here is the day in pictures!

 The Dolly Dagger Shop- so pretty but so expensive!

 A vintage jewelry store

 A little boutique in the lanes with the cutest purses

 Breakfast at Tiffany's

Many Thanks

As Im sure many of you will have noticed, Pretty Things has a new header which is due to Ellen of cacoethes scribendi. It is of course common knowledge that I cant work a computer to save my life so I am very very grateful! The picture is based on the original by the RSPB (I have to give credit!) Let me know what you all think (you can do this by ticking like or dislike- anyone can you dont need to be on blogger or anything)!

Thanks Ellen!
Also new, is the formspring sidebar for those not on blogger who wish to comment or ask me questions- dont be shy!

Southbank

Yesterday we all went to Strada on Southbank for Livvie's birthday! This is what I wore:

Shoes- Kurt Geiger

Dress- Mango

Belt- Davo's cK (what a surprise)

Jacket- Vintage Lee Bender

Clutch- Vintage

The gals
It was a really fun night and even though they werent very high, I managed to stay firmly on the ground in my heels from 6:25 to 10:42 (obviously with walking) so I guess my Revision-learn-to-walk-in-heels-mission worked pretty well! Everyone who went looked beautiful and I hope Livvie (to whom this post is dedicated) had fun! 

Please excuse me not looking best in photos- recovering from a horrible cold...

Catching Up

 OK well so sorry its been such a long time! Revision ya know... Here are my buys from an Oxfam trip with Stan this morning- one of the few times Ive left the house, although it is bound to get worse no that I am officially on study leave!A daunting thought? Yes. First is a dark red leather handbag with an adorable little clasp- will take it on the upcoming Brighton trip! Next is the vest, Im so excited to wear it but its a bit hot at the moment so it will be saved for a rainy day.

 One of my exciting revision outfits that I wore to pick up my dry-cleaning, You can see how exiting my life has become!

Dress- Motto

Shoes- Topshop

Belt- Davo's cK

Here are the promised street party photos from the Royal Wedding- lots of Union jacks!

 My street party outfit- see my new Midi skirt! I bought it for £15 in the topshop sales! Aside from it being quite static, it is great fun to wear. The is a slightly boring outfit as it is all Topshop..

 View from the back garden- its lambing season so there are hundreds of really cute newborn lambs everywhere.

So thats basically all I had to share from my camera (I temporarily lost the lead thus the long wait) but there will be another post about Livvie's birthday evening either later today or tomorrow.
Hope anyone on study leave is surviving,
LB xx

Briefly

I will be shortly getting round to doing a proper post but unfortunately between revision and illness it is not going quite to plan. I just want to thank Jess of Marvelous Things for her lovely feature, that can be found here.
