Awesome & awkward – The gulf stream edition

ThankFifi-Topshop-15

fishtail tee – TopShop c/o Silverburn (last worn here)
leather short – TopShop (last worn here)
flicker shoe – Aldo (last worn here)
scarf (worn braided in hair bun) – Accessorize, aviator – H&M
woven bag – Mango
watch – Michael Kors, bracelets – various
Picadilly Circus nail polish – Nails Inc.

leather lead – vintage Oakberry
coat – model’s own c/o Infindigo 

Awesome:

– Against all odds it seems, for a couple of days at least, the gulf stream has indeed changed.
– Evening drinks on the sunny doorstep with neighbours like we’re in an episode of Friends or something; living the dream.
– Shorts as acceptable workwear.
– Cuddles with the tiniest puppy chihuahua in the park.
– Being featured on the major US site Refinery29 and a full page article about ThankFifi in The Evening Times yesterday (you can see a snap on the Facebook page).

Awkward:

– Arguing with the husband that The Evening Times must be on sale only in the evenings… and being oh so painfully WRONG.
– Cuddling the tiniest chihuahua.  I smiled.  She licked my teeth.
– Scott Pilgrim Vs The World.  Scott Pilgrim you ruined ‘early bed night’.  Everything was in place but you and your terrible movie led us to sourcing an alternative 1 hour in and then, what do you know, when the alternative finished, it was late.
– Dog diahorrea and cream carpets (ironically I first mistyped that as ‘crapets’).
– Heels in grass – yeah, that’s what’s happening in that photo just down there…

Wishing you all a weekend more awesome than awkward!

      thanks so much – glad you like that look – sadly I don’t think it would work for fall here because it will be far too cold!

    Ahh, heels in the grass, at least with patent shoes they shouldn’t be grass stained! Yet again, another gorgeous look! x

    You look amazing! Those legs are to die for *wolf whistle* and so are those shoes! I absolutely love the asymmetric cut of them.

    Aww, what a cute dog! He’s a finnish lapphund, I assume? He looks just like my dog Lenni – although Lenni is black and looks like a very big puppy.

    You are cute too (and I love those shorts!) but Mr K got me distracted :–D

    Greetings from Finland,

    • Wendy

      Yes he is! Big hugs to Lenni πŸ™‚
