Road Trip I!

Michael and I take A LOT of road trips! We're driving somewhere new almost every week and I never thought to take my camera because we get so wrapped up in just spending time together. I figured... since I spend all of my spare time with him anyway... I'd start to take my camera!

This week we went to a place called Carlisle. It's in the north of England and it's about an hour away from where we live. We took his mum a long and it was pretty fun!

They have the most adorable shopping centre but I've promised to spend anything until I've used the products that I have already.

It did annoy me because I couldn't find Sleek make up anywhere and I don't have YSL make up or Urban Decay anywhere near me but BAM... there it all was in one little centre!

Michael promised to take me back at some point, lol. We'll see!

It was such a nice day too! The weather has been a little bipolar today but on this particular day... my gosh! It was sooo warm in the car!

The scenery is always so beautiful near where I live. Amazing. That's what I adore about living next to the Lakes.

Luella's Guide to English Style.

I obviously didn't need to buy this book because I did grow up and still live in England.

I know how diverse our fashion is and I know how quirky we can be.

I'm proud of this... I love how eclectic our style is.

When I see Helena Bonham Carter or Kate Middleton... I feel at home.

Nothing shocks me in British fashion.

I bought this Guide to celebrate that.

Alexa Chung is quoted on the cover... you just know that gives it 100 awesome points right there!

The queen of British eccentricity!

I've always been faccinated by Vivienne Westwood. Her designs, her scents, her advertising campaigns.

LOVE.

I love Helena so much! She just doesn't care what anyone thinks.

The best is when she dresses in Vivienne Westwood. Match made is heaven!

I love the drawing in this book and the detailed descriptions of the various categories of style.

There are A LOT of celebrities and fashionistas that you probably wouldn't recognise if you weren't British but it's all about the fun of educating yourself on our style!

Have fun!

Do you know what else I love on a side note... Tim Burton + Helena Bonham Carter + Vivienne Westwood = sexual beyond belief.

Cracks.

I saw this film the other night when I struggled to sleep and it was absolutely amazing.

The location, the make up, the costumes, the story, the actresses. It was truly stunning.

 I won't post any spoilers but you have to watch it if these stills appeal to you!

The actress who plays Fiamma is absolutely beautiful!
