I took a trip into the Yorkshire countryside this weekend. I know most people who go walking in the countryside would be wearing walking boots, a waterproof jacket and some woollies but....well...I guess I'm just.... not...that...girl. Practicality has never been top of my priorities because, let's face it, practical is not pretty. Not pretty one bit.
I picked up this simple, casual and cute heart motif sweater from New Look. I didn't realise what a great store I've been missing out on living in Korea. I'm not sure it used to be as good before and I'm told they still have their ups and downs but when I went in recently I saw loads of really nice things. To top it off I could actually afford them, always a bonus/relief! Haha!

I love visiting the countryside when I need some time away from everything to slow down and think about things. Lately, as you know, I've been really busy and this last week one thing and another had started to get to me. I feel so lucky to live near such beautiful natural landscapes, it's awe inspiring. Being there makes me think about how small I am in the world and helps make me see my problems are only momentary in the grand scheme of things.
Where do you go when you need some thinking time or to get a little perspective?

Love that cardigan! TBH I thought the same, new look never seemed that great to me, now I've seen this I may go and take a look.

Beautiful! I love your outfit- that top is so pretty.
ReplyDelete@ Girlie Blogger, It was taken at a place called Ingleborough in the Yorkshire Dales. It's quite near my home here in England. It's so pretty there.
ReplyDelete@All Things Beauty makeup and shopping, yeah, I was really surprised how good some of their stuff was. I'd say it's worth a look if you're near one.
@CottonCandyINK, thankyou! I never feel it but I'm glad it somehow ends up looking that way.
@AllieUK, it's from one one of the concessions in New Look so it's not technically NL and may not be in every one I guess. I looked for it on the website but couldn't see it.
@ Lydia and Schnelle, thank you so much. Glad you like the top :)

I am loving your new jumper! I love the heart print. So cute!
ReplyDeleteAs for the countryside, I love it as well. I live in the city so I don't exactly have the luxury of natural landscapes. I do love to hike though. I also like to go to the beach when I want to relax and think. :)
P.S. 'The Iron Lady' is going to be good!
Lots of love, B

hahahaha, you are so right -- practical is not pretty! ;) i think i'm gonna get really torn between practical and pretty if i ever find myself in the countryside. i do like the wellies that the duchess of cambridge wore recently, though. ;)
ReplyDeletei don't have a beautiful place like that nearby, so i guess when californians need a place to think we either go to our rooms or to the beach? ;)
