An Early Start for a Sunday...with coffee, ducks and lipstick

Hello!

I hope you guys had a good weekend.  I took my camera out for a walk with me on Sunday.  It was a special day here, celebrating the beginning of a new school year.  It was quite busy in the cafe we went to because of this but we were so exhausted from work we had gone to bed quite early on Saturday night. This meant that we got out much earlier than usual for a Sunday, so I didn't mind sitting around waiting for our coffee to arrive.


I'm having a bit of an internal fight at the moment about whether or not I should try to stop drinking coffee.  Is caffeine really that bad for you?  At the moment though I'm only having one a day so I don't think that's so bad.  They don't really serve decaf over here as standard yet which would probably solve my problem as it's the taste and smell I love more than the effect.


I really love nice kitchen ware.  This is a cute milk jug they had at the cafe.


We went for a walk along the river which is where I caught sight of this duck dunking itself in the water, so cute!


A well worn looking bridge.

There are loads of pretty looking flower baskets out at the moment.  I think it's to compensate for the harsh and long winter we have.  I love seeing a blue sky too!






I wore a dress I've had for ages.  It was a present from my Mum.  It's by Henry Holland for Debenhams and has this really cute pattern on it.

It's a really wearable day dress.  Easy to throw on and look pretty.


I don't wear lipstick very often so I like to try to make myself wear it at the weekends.  I wore my favourite Art Deco lipstick in shade 36.  I love the matte creamy texture of this lipstick.  It's richly pigmented and fairly long lasting, although I do still have to re-apply it after eating or drinking.


It's a pretty wearable pink.  Not too bright but still pretty.


I wear these pink Accessorize earrings all the time.  I got them last summer and I seem to remember that they were a really good price!

When we got home it rained and rained so heavily.  I spent the evening sorting out the kitchen and making cupcakes.  When the weather changes and the nights get darker and longer it inspires me to bake.  I suppose because it makes home feel more cosy.  I definitely want to try and keep baking and experimenting in my new much more decent sized kitchen!

The evening is drawing in once more and it's another cloudy one.  I hope you enjoyed this peak in to my day.  I'll be ending mine drinking decaf tea in my kitchen and maybe catching up on some episodes of my favourite programmes.

I'd love you to follow me on here or click on the bloglovin' button in the sidebar to follow me on there!

Till next time

Sunny weekend at a stylish cafe

Hi there,

I hope you've had a good week.  I'm aching from working on our new ballet production this week.  It's such a relief to have two days off.  Today I took my gorgeous Canon camera out and about with me.  I was surprised to find it fits in to my Cath Kidston handbag really well and as the bag is so light, it's no where as near of a heavy pain in the ass neck to carry around as I thought it would be.


There are quite a lot of trees on the streets around where I live.  I think they're so pretty in the sunshine.  This street's name translates in to English as 'Lucky'.


My boyfriend was wearing some cool colours so I snapped him as we waited at the bus stop.



We went to a pretty little cafe in town.  Check out this cute sofa in a nook.  I love the colours.


These mix and match grey and yellow cushions look stylish on a sofa.


I have a thing for pearl rings at the moment.


As well as coffee and bruschetta we ordered water with cranberries in it. 


How has your weekend been?  I'm loving taking pictures with the SLR camera.  I definitely want to spend more time experimenting with photography now that I have one.

Till next time

Wishing for the weekend

Hi there!  I am in the middle of a pretty busy working week.  In a brief moment of calm it's made me think of my weekends and the things I enjoyed during my last one.

Lazily making a coffee late in the morning!


Using our his and hers Herdy mugs!

Bargain hunting at the shops in the sale...and finding something you actually need!

These jeans were reduced to 12 euros in the sale!


Going to a favourite cafe and spending time trying to capture the steam coming off from my posh tea: black with cherry


becoming obsessed with plaiting my hair!

What simple things did you enjoy this weekend?  I'm glad I took some photos to remember my lazy Sunday with.  Hanging on until the next one :)
