Tulips
It’s almost become a weekend ritual to meet up with my best buds and freeze our butts off somewhere new in London before retiring to a cafe or restaurant to gorge on junk food. This weekend was no exception- Dunya, Lucy, Kristabel and Liv and I meandered through the stalls at Columbia Road flower market, and must have bought up half the tulips. Cold doesn’t even cover it – even my cat mittens had to come out – so after we’d finished battling the crowds and peering through shop windows we hastily made our way to the Breakfast Club for well-deserved pancakes, bouquets in hand.

If you’ve got a free Sunday and haven’t already, be sure to visit Columbia Road and buy yourself some pretty blooms, eat yummy food and browse the shops. With the road being located in East London and considered rather hip, another plus point is that many a pug/french bulldog/dachshund can be spotted with their moustache-adorned owners, and we all know how much I love making friends with little furry fellas (dogs, not hairy men).
Taking outfit pictures in Winter isn’t much fun – really they just serve to show you my ever-growing collection of coats. But for anybody interested, I’d layered up underneath with a shirt, cat-faced jumper and a faux-leather pleated silver skirt. You can expect 100% more scarf/glove action in any posts coming up – I’m certain our little outing is the cause of my runny nose *sniff*.
I’m already looking forward to my next weekend adventure! x

Wow…can’t beat fresh flowers to lift your spirits. And do I spy a kitty cat jumper?!! x
Ooh, I love it how the tulips are wrapped in brown paper! It sounds so silly – but I thought that was a movie thing, not real life!

Why are your outfits always perfect?! I was actually ebaying around just a few hours ago for a similar jumper, and only a few weeks ago was searching for that primark skirt only to be unsuccessful both times around – so, it’s safe to say I’m kind of a little (a lot) jealous! Those shoes are amazing too, I really love the chunky heel on them

Beautiful pictures!
Gorgeous outfit – love the beret and shoes!

Aww, this looks so fun! I want to see more of the skirt too!
I’m also not sure what’s tempting me most to make a trip myself-pugs or moustache men?
I can’t get enough of your blog. I adore your outfit, so well put-together and it looks cosy too! I love the photos, and the flowers you chose. Your friends all look lovely too! You look like you have such a fun time together.

Completely adorable Carrie (and you know how much I approve of anything cat-related). I love Columbia Road so much (although i don’t get there nearly as much as I would like), and you’ve captured it so perfectly here.

LOVE columbia flower market.. wish I could buy everything and live in a flower bed. looks like a fun day
Those tulips look so fresh… you can’t find them looking this good in the Southern hemisphere. I miss the flowers in Europe, their colours are brighter.
Send me some.
Love from Australia
Super lovely look. Love your shoes <3
