Ping Pong and Volleyball

I've been enjoying myself with the Paralympic Games for the past few days, on Friday I went to the ExCel centre to see a friend from university, Kim Daybell who qualified for the Paralympics play in the Class 10 Men's Table Tennis match. It was actually fantastic, not only cause he played so well but because the excitement that you get when you're into a match of anything is nothing compared to the excitment when you actually know someone playing in a tournament like the Paralympics! I then went again today to watch more Table Tennis and a bit of Sitting Volleyball, I've found the Olympics and Paralympics so amazing in London, will be sad to see the atmosphere die down.

Right, on to the clothes. I wore my new Love Petrol Wrap dress, which fits lovely, its a bit open at the front so had to secure it with a safety pin and occasionally there's risk of flashing people due to its short length but besides that the material is so soft, its a gorgeous colour (I also got it in black) and it goes so nicely as a day dress, which today I dressed down with my cream H&M blazer and Converse but it would also go so nicely with heels. I think I'll wear my black version with heels next. I absolutely adore the Love brand, and really need to purchase some more...I think I'm going to be an even poorer second year student but for the sake of these gorgeous clothes, I don't entireeeelllyy mind. 

Cheeky last picture with the ol' geek chic glasses. 

Cooling down

So today it was super hot here in London so me and my brother and sister went to the ponds in Hampstead Heath, totally natural ponds which the public can swim in, they're amazing.

I dunno bout you guys but I'm not a massive fan of summer style - let me explain-  I'm a huge fan of bare legs but when it comes to bare arms/shoulders/midriff, not so much. Currently I find dressing a lot more interesting when it involves a little more clothing (to put it basically). England has a great temperature majority of the year that you can vary clothing without finding yourself too hot or too cold (most of the time) and so when the mercury rises I get a bit stuck, and uninspired. 

But today I thought I'd crack out my Ark playsuit, Ark is a great shop which so far I've only ever seen in Leeds and Cambridge but there are none in London sadly! Its my go to shop for pretty basic pieces (tops, dresses and playsuits especially) where the experimentation is more with cut and basic patterns then the overkill that can occur with those pieces of clothing in other stores.

Here's their website definitely a goodun: http://www.ark.co.uk/

My denim jacket has become one of my favourite in my wardrobe! It was my brothers from Year 3 (that's when he was 7/8) from Gap, now that he's grown out of it I seem to have shimmied myself in! 

This is me and my brother and sister:
