Anchor Me!

umbrella, silk blouse, & cardigan, all by h&m. necklace from Accesorize, jeans by Topshop.

Somehow, I managed to avoid the on/off thunder storms that blessed London today, perhaps someone is watching over me.. Earlier in the week, I made the cataclysmic mistake of attempting to stroll across Hungerford bridge one lunchtime, in the bracing wind & the rain, a choppy Thames beneath me. Alas, poor 'brolly broke, inside & out & spokes threatening everywhere; it was practically Homeric (as in, the stuff of myths & legends &cet &cet). So when I came across this cute anchor-print umbrella from h&m on my return, I would have been foolish not to purchase..

This outfit is somewhat inspired by The Cherry Blossom Girl (aka Alix); the colours, prints, patterns & photography skills she employs are simply ethereal.

This week, I have also mainly been having fun creating GIFs! The ones below were created on blingee. Seriously, you will spend so much (useless) time here! I would be interested to hear of any other GIF-creating sites that people can recommend: that cartoony logo in the corner isn't too endearing, plus my images lose their clarity when I upload...
