I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

Jacket Zara | Top Uniqlo | Pants Gmarket | Sheos ALDO | Bag Alphabetbags.com | Sunnies ASOS | “Bodychain” DIY

Took a train down to Portsmouth with Ellen to visit the D-Day museum and spend a day at the beach. The weather was a bit too chilly to relax on the pebbles but we did windsurf on the boardwalk. The wind literally pushed us down the far side of the beach where we had to refuel ourselves with cotton candy and icecream to propel back against the monster. I must say, something about cotton candy makes you feel like you have an extra limb and wheels on your toes, or was that just us high on sugar.

British seaside is so lovable, the colours and the smell… feels so good taking a break from the city.

  1. love that dash of turquoise in your outfit and your shoes are great!!
    is that a yellow bus stop?

  2. your photos are always sooo nice. Love your seafoam top. I always thought it was funny that alot of the beaches in england are pebble-filled…must be painful to lie on no?

  3. przepiękny żakiet <3
    jak ja Ci zazdroszczę wypadu na plażę :) teeeeż bym chciała ;D

  4. i love your jacket!! and the shoes are rad.

  5. You always have such beautiful pieces. Each item you wear tells its own story. Basically, you have a wonderful sense of style. xx

  6. Those shoes… <3

  7. i love the jacket it looks perfect on you… xoxo

  8. I’ve got the same pair of glasses but I just broke mine :'( Ah, I miss the beach. Great photos.
    xx

  9. gorgeous photos! i love the smell of the beach, too. something so comfortable and relaxing which you would’ve never guessed from the saltiness and the seaweed smell.

  10. the colors of your outfit and the British bus stop are excellent!

  11. Owwh it’s not a bus stop, it’s just a…fancy bench :P

  12. I love the jacket! However, I’m going to have to disagree with you about British beaches; as a resident of Britain, they all seem to hate me. It’s rather rude actually, sun goes in, rain clouds loom over and sea swallows the beach.
    I.e. I’ve had some bad experiences there.

    It would be mine

  13. great look! this jacket is so gorgeous!

  14. wow these photos are really great, and that jacket! wow!
