#60 The Outer Garden

 

Hello Lovelies,

I just could not get in the vibe to create tonight.  We are still frazzling in the UK in what is now our longest heatwave in 50 years and I find mentally it very hard to focus when boiling to death!  So what better time for a wander instead!

Tonight I visited The Outer Garden.  I have never experienced a place quite like this before. My first reaction was that it felt completely ethereal, almost like stepping into a dream. It truly took my breath away, not only with its beauty but with the incredible level of detail that has been brought together here.

The real beauty here lies in the unexpected. Mirrors become portals, allowing you to teleport to entirely different gardens. I found myself standing in a Japanese Garden for a while, completely mesmerized by the fireworks, simply taking in the magic of it all.

At times, it feels as though you are living inside a painting that has somehow been brought to life. I ended my visit back in the White Garden, floating high above it all on a balloon. But before you leave, don't miss the fabulous snacks waiting for you in the Conservatory!  Please do go and experience this for yourself.

What I Am Wearing:
One of my long time favorite Dinkie creators, Peeps Dinkies has absolutely embraced Kawaii this month with an adorable pastel-coloured dress featuring hand-drawn “Time to Be a Unicorn” artwork.

I always love the attention to detail in every Peeps Dinkies outfit, particularly the beautiful fabric textures and little touches that make each creation feel so special. Truly, one of the best out there, in my own personal opinion, of course!  This stunning dress is EXCLUSIVE to the Cheeky Monkey 'Kawaii Summer' Hunt until the end of August.

I paired this up with some casual white Leather and Cork Sandals as a summer staple for my wardrobe created by Wicked Whim.  There are 11 other colors available as well as a Fat Pack well work checking out.

#59 La Vie en Rose


Hello Lovelies,

Have you ever had clothing inspire your destination for the day?  As soon as I put this gorgeous summer dress on my brain went 'nature walk'!  

So I took a peek at the Destination Guide and found La Vie en Rose.  If you're looking for somewhere peaceful to enjoy a solo wander or even a romantic date, I think this is the perfect spot.  From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed by the soothing sounds of nature, with meadows filled with majestic trees and beautiful wildflowers.

The real magic though, lies in exploring. Around every corner you'll find charming little nooks and hidden places to sit, relax, and simply soak in the peaceful surroundings. Keep your eyes open as you wander too... you might spot foxes, bears, and other delightful wildlife tucked throughout the landscape.

This is one of those places that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and simply enjoy the moment. 

What I Am Wearing:
Dinkies @ Moonstar have created three wonderful outfits this month for the Cheeky Monkey Hunts 'Kawaii Summer' Hunt.  I am wearing their Dinkie Kawaii Summer Set comprising of this stunning floral print swirl dress in beautiful pastel colors.  Also included is a really cute cat collar that matches the dress colors perfectly and is resizable (just click for the menu to adjust).  There is also a pretty flower headband to complete the set.  This beautiful outfit is EXCLUSIVE to the Hunt until the end of August.
