Top picks #9

Perfect to wear with a midi skirt and blouse for office chic. Not that we dress up too much in my office but I would be willing for these.

2. Necklace, £16.50 - Topshop

This would look pretty cool worn peeking out of a shirt collar.

3. Top, £40 – Yumi

Not sure if I would pay £40 for a top but I do like the dark print.

4. Earrings, £5.99 – New Look

These have a gothic charm to them which I love - very glam!

5. Dress, £75 – Yumi

I'm not even entirely sure if this print would suit me but I just adore it. Can I hang it on my wall?

6. Flats, $54.99 – Modcloth

Ok, it’s official. I’m in love with a pair of flats. These robot shoes are adorable and a nice change from the cat ones I keep seeing around – though I do love cats!

7. Ipad case, £15 – ASOS

Unfortunately this awesome case is out of stock at the moment – fingers crossed they put it back in soon!

8. Jumper, £38 - Oasis

I put something similar to this on my list every year but never buy. This year I will dammit.

9. Ring, £6.50 – Miss Selfridge

Simple and cute.

10. Dress, £65 – ASOS

This dress puts me right back in a summer mood. It makes me want to throw on a pair of cowboy boots with it and go for a road trip across the USA.

What's caught your eye on the high street this week?

He Watch She Watch Episode 6: On Moonlight Bale

We had a bit of a break while we were away on holiday but now Topher and I are back in business with episode 6 of He Watch She Watch. This episode sees (or hears should I say, har har) Topher watch On Moonlight Bay and myself watching the freakishly skinny Christian Bale in The Machinist. Take a listen to hear our thoughts, enjoy!

Dartmoor

One fine day (or slightly drizzly day) while we were down in Exeter, Topher and Emma's grandparents took us to Dartmoor.

Emma and Luther

Topher and I

After the obligatory couple tourist shots, we decided to have a bit of childish fun. I've always been a fan of attempting to photograph movement - I even did an entire project about it during college where my friends happily volunteered to jump up and down for me - so I took the opportunity to get my friends to lunge at me wildly.

Topher, the bird without wings

Luther the victim of a zombie chase.

Emma the happy skipper.

Not to be left out, I handed the camera to Emma...

I call this my crazy lady pulled off stage pose - the only thing missing is the hook am I right? I think Topher and Emma's granddad definitely agrees!

After the childish antics (or in between I should say, we stopped to admire our surroundings. How gorgeous are these colours?

Aaand back to the childishness. I love this photo I took of Topher. We were trying to get a jumping shot but didn't notice the old ladies approaching. When I spotted them I told Topher to jump quickly and that is most likely why he has a look of terror on his face. Though I like to call this photo "man terrified of grannies".

This hobbit looks completely at home doesn't he?

Then we visited Widecombe where I got this lovely shot of Topher and Emma's grandma using a banana like a gun. Classic!

Not to mention my rather terrifying face while pretending to eat this giant ice cream. Mine! Not very flattering at all and that therefore proves that I have no shame in showing this to you!
