DOWN BY THE LAKE

The good thing about being in the countryside is that we have views like this as soon as we step out the door. Although we love living away in the big city, it is always nice to come back home to these views. Late on a Sunday afternoon, we decided to head off to see the horses. As it was quiet with only a farmer in sight, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to shoot.

Shopping in my local Tesco, I came across this cute jumper that I couldn't resist. As rabbits are my favourite animal (as well as pandas), I couldn't leave the shop without it. The rabbit on this jumper has a lovely fluffy texture and is covered in see-through sequins. This casual outfit is great for occasions such as strolling around with friends or if you want to look cute for that daytime date. Jeggings allows you to stay comfy if you are out and about for a long period of time. Finish this look with a pair of Uggs boots to prevent painful feet at the end of the day. Here I'm wearing Primark's version of Uggs which only cost £5. This is ideal for muddy strolls as you can through them out if needed to, which you can't do with the real versions.

ST. PETER'S

Visiting Vatican City was our last adventure while in Rome. We spent the morning exploring their museum and then decided to take the climb up St. Peter's Basilica. Half way up there was a viewing balcony that looking into the church. This building is ruled by The Pope and is still one of the largest churches in the world. This snug outfit is great at keeping you warm during the winter months. I decided to buy this jumper in a much larger size as I felt it would be more cosy and comfortable to wear. To give you an idea on the size, I am a UK size 6 and this jumper is a UK size 12. I think jeans are the best garment to pair with the jumper as it keeps it casual. Lastly I added Ugg Boots as they add even more comfort to this look.

After walking up a total of over 500 steps, we made it to the top of St. Peters to see a breath-taking view. You could see the whole of St. Peter's Square and the beautiful buildings across Rome. Unfortunately after a short while, we had to take the walk back down to the ground as it was time to catch a plane back to rainy England. Ciao for now Rome!
