Best way to express how ecstatic you are that the sun has returned? Monochrome.

I had a glorious Sunday in the park with my sister yesterday. We feasted on picnic food, walked around the lakes at Leytonstone, and read books and newspapers.  I had popped on some very casual clothes that I could peel off as it got warmer so I ended up being outside in just a t-shirt! Whodathunk. It was so sunny that I became one of many pasty Londoners who was basking in the sun and got sunburned.... This is the kind of think I generally wear when I don't have plans or just want to be comfy. I realise now that I was probably subconsciously inspired my one of my style crushes - Kate Moennig.

Wearing: Boss Orange jeans, Aldo loafers, Zara linen t-shirt, grey vest from an op shop in PNG, mum's old necklace, Review hat, vintage coach satchel from Etsy, owl earrings from Spittalfields Market, and my very very old and tatty Boss Black blazer. #teenvogue 

Something Borrowed...

These were taken at dusk last Saturday just as it started to get chilly. I was about to ride to my sister's local supermarket to pick up ingredients for my go to Laksa. I like to make it when I'm feeling unwell or when some part of my family is reunited. Saturday was a combination of both of these things. My hair was looking positively mullet-like due total laziness on the haircut front, so there aren't any closeups!

I'll be posting a few times this week, so make sure you check back to see a better groomed Ellie from a much warmer day!

Wearing: 

H&M jeans, Tommy Hilfiger Chelsea Boots that I got at Macy's when I was in DC, Men's H&M hoodie, boyfriend's scarf, sisters Jacket, and Zara purse.
