In Pieces

Because the detail shots came out so much better this time. :)

Which is actually not such a tragedy, as I wanted to show you my English souvenirs.

These tights and these boots.

I'm really not a big shopper when on holiday, I always feel better looking at new things and places, things I wouldn't find at home. So I got these boots in the course of about 5 minutes, while I run into a shoeshop in Barnstaple, looking for something waterproof. They were so cheap (15 Pounds), I couldn't leave them there. And they ARE waterproof, which was very helpful in the English summer.

And the tights of course... How brilliant are the little hearts? I was so happy to return to 20 degrees Celsius here in Hungary as well so that I could wear them. They're from Accessorize, where I'd blow all my money if they had stores in Hungary. It's sort of lucky they don't.

Oh, OK, here's a full lenght shot... :)

I also have some more photos and adventures to share from my London days - I spent two days there before catching my flight back to Budapest. Coming soon!

I wore: Shorts: Promod, Tights: Accessorize, Boots: Shoezone, Bag: Zara, 

Scarf: Chinese shop, Flowers: H&M.

Ocean Waves Weave Tales

Running into the cold cold sea in England, feeling your skin protest and guarding your tummy as you know you will get a shock once that's submerged in the ocean, then feeling the first wave break on your body and enjoying the endorphins erupt with such an unexpected force that you laugh out loud and you cannot but wait for the next wave, and the next and the next... And you don't care about the cold of the air or of the sea anymore. Brilliant.

I loved the ocean and the long, sandy beaches and the secluded, secret ones, the constant sound of waves rushing towards you. I loved the two sunny days we had and all the others when a raincoat and a wooly hat were required to enjoy the beach fully. I loved the rugged coastline and the sheep, the English families huddled behind windbreaks and tucking into fish and chips with relish, the kids screaming for ice-cream even in icy wind and the shells and stones and the grains of sand in everything I wore.

I could go on and on posting gorgeous pictures of the ocean, but let me show you some other delights of Devon too.

The house we stayed in, with the most gorgeous English garden... Thank you for the hospitality Vanessa and John, my Boyfriend and me were so lucky to stay with you!

The streets of Appledore, which were such an unexpected gem to find, and reminded me so much of Burano.

The Green Man festival in Barnstaple, watching people enjoying parading through the town centre and then listening to great music and dancing in the streets.

I cannot wait for the wind and the rain, the sun and the sea to direct me back to Devon again.

Oh, and while I was away, I hope you enjoyed the wonderful guest posts my lovely guest bloggers provided - I surely did! I'm already inspired to ask you all about something else to blog about, I guess I'd need more holidays for that! :)
Thank you again Waves, Pau, Sarah and Kirstin!
