Alarah: fashion and beauty

Hey everyone!

So, as Sarah explained on her post (linked here), we haven't posted since December last year - and we have missed you all! Sorry for not posting in a while, we have had soo much work at college (and still do...). Anyway this was all explained in the last post, so lets get on with this one! (I will link the items if they are still available)

So today I went the 'Bushy Park' with my family for a picnic and a walk around. It was such a lovely day (however I thought not quite warm enough to wear shorts yet..) The sky is still bright blue and its half 6 at the moment; I love this weather sooo much. Lets start of with my outfit...

My outfit was pretty casual but for some reason I really liked it!
