Wish You Were Here

Nothing beats a trip to the coast in summertime.  The wind whips up, the gulls cry, the sunshine tries to fight off the cloud.  We didn't make it as far as the beach, but in Cardiff there's always the marina.  I love the sound of the harbour.  The wind gently bumps the sailboats against the dock, and the ropes against the masts sound like windchimes.  I wore a '50s inspired look, and at times I felt like a red-veiled bride with my scarf billowing out behind my head.

Dress: Next, via charity shop

Bag: Peacocks, via car boot sale

Sunglasses: Cardiff vintage fair

Shoes: Asda

Headscarf: car boot sale

Lipstick: Bourjois Rouge Velve, in 001 Personne ne rouge!

That red lipstick by Bourjois is the most long-lasting one I own.  It stays on all day, in the most literal sense.  I put it on in the morning, went to a car boot sale, ate some fruit and drank some water, went to the marina, went home and had lunch, painted a wall, drank tea, did the laundry, and it was still on that evening, requiring the barest touch-up for drinks and dinner.  I'd like to try it in some other colours, so if you have tried any other shades then let me know.
