My gorgeous Sister in Law to be (also Jenn, but with 2 ns) and me, enjoying a Sainsbury’s picnic and pink champagne

Yesterday was glorious. If there’s anything better than pink champagne and mini sausages eaten under the blazing sun, please do let me know.

The Mr’s parents’ house backs on to a cricket field, so summers are spent in cricket whites, with dogs in tow and frequent cries of ‘howzat!’ (which I still don’t understand the meaning of). After the game yesterday, we travelled back to Leeds and met friends for alfresco dining and a raucous game of Cranium.

Today is a little cooler, which suits me just fine. I’m spending it with my lovely friend and her wee one – there’ll be lots of gossip and a 99 cone, I’m sure. Have you been frolicking in the sun this weekend? Share your stories, tell your tales – you know I love to hear them.

PS – Have you voted for me in TK Maxx’s Frock Me style challenge yet? No?! Off you pop then!

I’ve been living in Spain for 4 months- it’s 25+ and have been lounging on the terrace, glass of local white wine in hand, perusing international fashion press. It’s THE way to go!

Outfit looks great – am I right in thinking that’s the dress you wore for that event not so long ago? Definitely a versatile piece – I love it dressed down like this, so summery.

I’ve done nothing at all this weekend, except sit out in the garden reading magazines, & playing out in the garden with my nephew & dog – I tell you, it’s been bloody lovely 🙂

Wow, it looks like you had a really lovely Saturday! Mine mostly involved working on my thesis, but I did have a pretty nice nap in the afternoon. I’m living the high life…

Lovely dress on a lovely girl! Such a great buy.
Not sure I’d agree with the pink stuff or the sausages, I’m afraid. It’s cider all the way till Glastonbury!

I’ve spent both days hanging out in Roundhay Park. Today there were the dragon boat races going on- always fun to watch and a great atmosphere. Doesn’t sunshine just make everything seem so holiday-esque?! Love it!x

I love how you’ve dressed down that maxi Jen. Perfect for such lovely weather and a picnic. I think I’m with Vix on the choice of alcohol though – cider is much more of an outdoorsy drink for me – I’m liable to drop champers or wine everywhere when picnicking!

Howzat = How was that? or sometimes How was he? Ie was the bowling good enough to get the batsman out? General appeal for the umpire to think about things really!

You look loooovely 🙂 and looks like yous had a smashing wee weekend in the sun! I also sat outside in my garden and chilled for hours, the sunshine really does make me happy. I hope this weather continues into the rest of the week! Totally reminds me of my school days, back then I feel like the weather was less messed up and we had ‘proper’ summers. Sports day and my birthday in june was always a scorcher! xx Ps. I cant vote for you on the frock me thing because I dont have facebook, gutted! 🙁

Voted!

Ahh is this the same maxi you dressed up for a glamorous do a couple months ago? Because if so it looks just as gorgeous for day as it does for night! Love the denim shirt throwover and the bangles. And Tim is the ultimate accessory, bless him :):)

Aren’t these summer days just wonderful?! I’ve similarly been enjoying the sunshine in the park, I’m glad I’ve been appreciating the sunshine as the weather is set to get so much cooler by the end of this week 🙁
