GARDEN LUXE

Saturday, May 23, 2015

I'm beginning to learn, since the horrible rainy day last Sunday. To refer to the weather forecast, and aim to go out on the best day. I luckily live only a few minutes away from the beautiful Drummond Gardens. So what better place to take photos on a lovely day, than here!
I will warn you now, this is going to be a photo heavy post. It was only me and my tripod, so I tried my best to take as many pictures as possible. Even though I often had a audience, that I had to pretend not to notice and carry on posing. Very embarrassing!

I'm wearing my first ever vintage purchase. A 1950s silk dress that I bought from the lovely Doreen of Gladrags.



You can see all the stuff I had to carry around on my own, in the background. I had to pick everything up to move to the next spot, then set it all down again. I ended up scratching my wrist really badly from the weight and awkwardness of it all. Ouch!

The lovely lady who worked there told me there was a greenhouse at the bottom of the Gardens, through the archway in the long hedge. I thought I would pay it a visit, even though I wasn't really sure if I was suppose to go inside or not. But I did and nearly sweated to death, whilst getting a few quick snaps in the intense humidity.











Accessories:
I'm afraid most of the things I buy, tend to be picked up along the way.
Mostly from charity shops or carboot sales. 
Hat; Bought from eBay // Sunglasses; Bought from eBay
Vintage Glasses Frames; Bought from eBay.
Ring; Charity Shop // Cream Bangle; Carboot (for 30p!!)
Parasol; Carboot // Heels; Charity Shop
Tortoiseshell effect double hoop earring; Bow and Crossbones.

Thank you so much for looking! Hopefully this will be one of many outside self photo sessions.
