Royal Ascot 2017 – The Hottest Day of the Year & What I Wore

Hey Sweeties,

Let me begin with a story –

Six years ago in June 2011, I had recently joined a well known betting company on their promotions team and was given the opportunity to have a week away (I was living in Bristol at the time) to work Royal Ascot. I wouldn’t say I jumped at the chance because I am not someone that particularly enjoys staying away, but I decided to go for it any way. Royal Ascot that year was almost a complete wash out and if it wasn’t pouring with rain, or windy, it was pouring with rain and being windy at the same time; it wasn’t a whole lot of fun I have got to be honest. Anyway.

Cutting a long story short, it was during this week I met the man that five years later I married, and you’ll only know the full story if you were at my wedding and listened to my speech. All that being said, although my husband and I are regular race goers and have been to Ascot racecourse since meeting, we have never made it back to Royal Ascot and this year we finally did. So on Tuesday 20th June 2017, we put on our glad rags and headed back to the place where it all began for the both of us.

Spring fashion haul feat. Miss Guided; Boohoo; Very; Miss Pap; American Eagle & Miss Selfridge

Spring fashion haul. I feel like I haven’t done a haul post in FOREVER… that’s not to say I haven’t been haulin’ though, it means I just haven’t had the time/weather/patience/opportunity etc. to shoot everything.

Normally, when I’ve fashion hauled I either photograph it on which involves standing in the garden with my camera on a tripod and the self-timer; or occasionally I have made use of the washing line (for example here). Today, I have tried something new… the fashion flat lay!

My spring fashion haul has been building since January when I picked up a couple of bits in the sales, and then gradually over the past couple of months I have been adding to it.

At the end of April I am off on honeymoon to America (so freakin’ excited!) for a couple of weeks, so I am also beginning to look at my current wardrobe and identify any gaps for warmer weather attire that I might need for my trip. So without further ado, here are some of my recent purchases –
