So April has begun with the last coursework deadline for the IB, then it will be a month of revision... I just hope that it is sunny so I can make notes and read up on topics outside. However it is Easter this month so that means chocolate! Not much though I am trying to eat clean and workout at the moment to de-stress, as I find that get worked up a lot easier when I don't! Besides the nearly endless college work I have been loving the colour pink, which is a bit of a shock as I tend to stick to blue when it comes to colour, but don't these look so good:
If you have read this space on the internet before you will know that I wear these tights at every opportunity, you cannot tel from the picture but that have the silhouettes of Paris' most famous monuments. and go really nicely with short skirts and shorts, of which I own plenty. (Only because I was gifted long legs)
So instead of blogging and going on fancy day trips like a lot of blogger do on their weekends I have been working as a lifeguard and swimming teacher, not new to me of course, but I am working extra at the moment to make up for the fact I won't be around in June. And naturally I have been revising my french by reading this funny little book, which I might do a review of in English and French.. maybe. I have only made it through one chapter in a week as I have to look up words but regardless of whether the book is good I really enjoy reading in another language.
I nearly knocked over the tripod several times while shooting this outfit. I have done a similar thing before with different dress also from Hollister, layering it over an old school shirt to almost create a new dress, I have also layered skirts and jumpers with dresses here and here. And having worn school uniform for so long I just couldn't resist being super preppy by wearing my brogues which I believe to be from Clarks.

I only bought a couple of these Macarons but they were to die for, I just wish I could have had more!
One does not simply watch Paul Hollywood bake with out promptly eating cake, oh and his eyes are as blue as they look on the Great British Bake Off! I also got to watch Kimberly off the last series bake and as it was in Exeter Glen Cosby was milling around!
So this had demonstrations and lots of stalls, I founds some really cute ones who made me want to buy lots and lots of mismatched crockery and decorate the house with too much bunting and eat cake and cake only... Shhh. I know that isn't possible but a girl can dream right?
Now this stall has to be my favourite, the milk bottles, the straws the cute vintage style signs were all so pretty, fortunately I know were to buy some of those straws in time to make 50's milkshakes and wear pastel skirts to match the era!
Never say no to freebies from a bakery. Ever.
I went to The Big Cake Show for Mothers Day, with my mum, sister and nan, it was a great day out and we really enjoyed watching people that we love on the Bake Off in real life!
