wearing: Blouse - vintage, Blazer - vintage (In Store this week!!!), shorts - lucky13, vintage velvet hat, vintage belt, vintage necklace and vintage bag mentioned in last post.

Me and my grandma visited a graveyard today to take photos (with my Minolta and digital cameras. If only i had that damn digital SLR!) My grandma is a camera/photo taking junkie and she's the one who gave me my Minolta camera and all her old lenses.

Graveyards are quite interesting and not at all scary during the day. My favourite are the doves on head stones, pure white angels and the old stone that has rusted and cracked (is it weird to have a favourite?)

We then proceeded to a 'tea house and gardens' for lunch and 'high tea' and a lovely walk past all the roses and ponds.

I wore gold today rather than my usual silver jewellery. I LOVE this vintage gold heart belt that a friend gave me. It got sooooo hot today so i had to loose the blazer. "Dear autumn, where are you?" I bought another pair of thigh high socks today. I have so many new pairs of stockings and socks I've been dying to wear but cannot!

  6. what a super fun and super weird day!? i actually really love graveyards... as long as they are peaceful... dude, i'm scared of ghosts!!!

    your hat makes you look even more like you belong in the 70's, i swear child, like 40 years earlier and you would have taken over the world!!! perfection.

  7. i've always wanted to do a mini photoshoot at a graveyard [mom, bf, and other friend thought i was weird for wanting to; haha i'm now justified cause it's a beautiful backdrop with a touch of romance with morbidity]. I like how your grandma's into photography and that she handed down her camera and lenses to you; your grandma's hella cool :]

    I love your outfit. I have a thing for just that pop of red somewhere in an outfit. It just puts a smile on my face and comends her/him for their confidence.

  20. Everything you wear is brilliant. You are definitely working your way towards being my favorite blogger.

    I too find cemeteries peaceful. It's one of the only places you can go and not hear a sound.

    LOVE IT!
