Keep reading that midi is the new maxi? Thinking that’s awesome if you have enough moolah to invest in key season pieces every 3 months? Yeah, me too. Turns out a hair bobble knot can bring me right on trend. So it made me walk at a definite leisurely pace but there was cake at the end.
Now, usually I feel pretty much like this guy but on the odd occasion, like when wearing grey, I feel silver works better so I chose this floral engraved locket that I poached from my Mum years ago. I noticed it was empty and was disappointed (how sweet would it have been to find some family from generations past locked in there) but maybe I should put some of my own photos in.
Been pretty knackered this past week what with so many things going on and this was the perfect relaxed ensemble for a coffee stop at Piece on Saturday late afternoon. Mr K must’ve been feeling lazy too (when is he not?) and kipped out on the pavement. I wasn’t the only one taking photos of him either. I had an iced decaf mocha and a flourless chocolate cake – both were ah-maze-ing and picked me right up in time for an insanely busy shift on Sat night.
