We went to a wedding fair on Sunday at our favourite Georgian mansion! It was SUCH a beautiful place to be on a sunny day! I remembered just how beautiful it is and how lucky I am to be able to come here for free and enjoy it!
There are a set of beautiful gardens with sundial, cosy benches for trysts. The gardener's cottage cafe is beautiful with a thriving vegetable garden during the coming months. In the summer, one of the gardens is heady with lavender everywhere. I hope it's blooming during our wedding!
I mentioned we went to Braintree freeport at the weekend. I also bought this top and trousers from the Next clearance. The sum total of both items was £11. The trousers are fabulous- they have tiny polka dots on them. I think I love the top because of the neck-detail. It has that sailor vibe to it that I adore, as do the trousers! The hat was a charity-shop purchase a little while ago which I adore! I've worn it loads!
One of my favourite parts of the mansion is this gorgeous stained glass window- it is so vivid and beautiful and is the part I always remember drawing when I sketched the mansion as a 16-year old!
It was CBC's birthday and we had a fantastic evening of swing-dancing!!!!! I cannot express how much I adore swing dance! I'm off to Brighton this weekend to spend a day learning lindy-hop! Hope I can learn some new moves well! The question is: WHAT to wear to the social dance on the Saturday night!?
What a stunning location and gorgeous outfit! I do love your high-waisted trousers and sweet boater.
ReplyDeleteNever mind the bed, it's the wallpaper I'm lusting over! x
I'm with Vix, I love the wallpaper. Those trousers look great on you.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place and I love the trousers, they suit you!
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty in the second picture Kezzie.
ReplyDeleteI have always harboured an irrational fear of four poster beds with the covered top .. seem to have got the idea into my head that it's as good a place as any for murderers to lurk! I must have seen a film or something, featuring just this as a kiddie!
Looks like a gorgeous mansion! I love four poster beds too, they remind me of old fashioned books for some reason. And happy birthday to CBC!
ReplyDeleteELEVEN POUNDS?! You thrifting queen, you- outfit is fab!! Hope you have a brilliant time in Brighton :) Let me know if you need any tips on places to eat tasty things/drink fancy cocktails! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful antique bed!
ReplyDeletei think you need that bed. maybe as a wedding gift to yourselves!!!
ReplyDeleteCome to Hughenden Manor in the summer and we'll get a photo of you in the bedroom there! I love that room, I love Georgian architecture and design. I can imagine how beautiful those gardens will be in full bloom! I love your 40s/70s look, with high waisted trousers and lovely top... oh and that hat is great too! xx
ReplyDeleteKezzie this outfit is darling! Love it. What a beautiful place! So this is where you are getting married?
