Kimonos and Trees - outfit post

Hello!

Here is an outfit post from my weekend. We ended up going just outside of Cardiff city center to a little nature reserve walk. The sun was out (although it was a little chilly) and it was the perfect Saturday afternoon:

Sunglasses - Primark
Denim Pinafore Dress - River Island
Dip Dye Kimono Cardigan - c/o Choies.Com
Nike Free 5.0+  - c/o SportsShoes.com

I had this Kimono Cardigan saved in my ASOS saved list for ages then when I was able to get it through Choies.com I went for it! Since I got it I've become addicted to Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 5 and noticed that Charlotte from Geordie Shore has the same cardi! 

Weed Crop - c/o Choies.com

There were two huge pond/river types on either side of the walk full of ducks and different birds.

Jurassic Park feel.

Can you spot the Kingfisher?

I loved this walk I definitely want to go back and explore some more!
Parts of it reminded me of Jurassic Park. There was a bird watching hut and we also fed the ducks some bread :) I even got to see a Kingfisher (see above) it was so awesome seeing its flashes of bright blue and orange floating about on the breeze and then settling down on the branches before heading off again.

What did you get upto on the weekend?

Summers' Pressed Flower Collection.

As you may remember in this DIY post that I mentioned I have been pressing flowers and leaves for almost a year now. Obviously there are way more prettier flowers out in Summer but I definitely prefer doing it in the Autumn as everything turns colour and you get some amazing outcomes.

To press the flowers I keep then in a notebook until I get home where I either use a small flower press or use a DIY one using books and kitchen tissue. I leave them for about 3 weeks then i just use some washi tape or my cute kitty foil tape and stick them in a pretty sketchbook for my own personal amusement. 

So today I thought I'd share with you a few pages of some of the flowers I've pressed over the Summer: 

I'm super excited that Autumn is on its way and I can't wait to go out into nature on walks to find some awesome things to press! I've already started venturing out and have had some crazy-cool interactions with bugs and frogs which I will share with you shortly :)

Hope your week is going well - Friday is almost here!
