Wedding Day







These are photographs I took at a friends' wedding day near Reading. James and I had a lovely time and the wedding was beautiful, but it was a bit chilly! This was back in April so the weather wasn't really spring-like yet (this winter didn't seem to end...).
The wedding theme was tea (and tea pots and tea cups were to be found everywhere) - we even got to play mixing different tea leaves to create our bespoke tea bag!
I was wearing a dress from Anthropologie and ballet flats from Pretty Ballerinas - a bit of a shame that I don't have a picture of the full outfit as it was too cold outside to take my coat off and I forgot to take one while inside the barn!

Latest purchase * Pretty Ballerinas flats







This are the last shoes I buy in a while, I promise to myself! But I have got an excuse, three weddings this year! And for that I need a pair of comfy shoes to spend the whole day in (I'm not the type of girl who doesn't mind suffering to look pretty, I DO mind).
And because Inès de la Fressange said: Some people think that shoes are ladders. No man is going to say, ‘I would love you so much more if you were 10cm taller.’ Women are suffering, you know. Elegance is about feeling nice, how can you feel nice when you have shoes that are like a prosthesis”. 
It makes me feel better :)
Although I do envy those women who walk in high heels like if they were slippers! I wish I could do that!

Anyway, I find these flats an essential addition to my wardrobe, perfect with jeans or a dress, and with just enough glitter to be wedding/evening appropriate. The only downside was the price (a bit overpriced although they are made in Spain) and the fact that the soles aren't leather. But again, these delicate shoes are not intended for everyday use.

Hope you are having a good weekend! London is still freezing! x
