Weekend view

Hunter wellies, and no, my legs havnt grown since I was 12, and i'm wearing two pairs of leggings here.

Bread box and salt n pepper shakers, 2 pounds thrift store. bargain.





H&M coat,  infinity scarf c/o BeeTa, TopShop sunglasses, Zara Jumper/sweater




Right across the street from my new flat is a New York American style diner.
Fully equipped with a NYPD car,Yellow cab, and pancakes with maple syrup.
This is dangerous for multiple reasons.
The main reason being that someone ends up crying when looking at the American flag.
Hint: that someone is not Irish...

I just realized I am wearing sunglasses, a coat, sweater, scarf, and rain boots.
Nothing about that makes sense.
But let me tell you something,
Hunter rain boots combined with Hunter fleece rain boot socks, is the best thing to happen to me since I had my first cheeto when I was 4 years old.
I am forever changed.

  5. I think the boots look extra good on vert thin legs in leggings:) Love that an American diner has opened.....bet like Ralph Laurens restaurant serving the most basic American fare, it will be big hit.
    You two make a great looking pair..and I enjoyed your pictures...have a great day.

    PS I live in the U.S. and still get choked up when the anthem is sung, or any real ode to being American is displayed, thats pure pride right there!

    ReplyDelete

  18. i don't understand how the taxi and nypd car got there....

    but so glad that you found some real life pancakes. maybe your jealousy-inducing skinny legs will finally plump up to normal american [read:chunky] size now.

  19. I have always wanted Hunter boots- so much more flattering than other Wellies. When I live in London that is the first thing on my list to buy. Those and apparently now the Hunter socks.

    ps... I'd kill for your legs.

    ReplyDelete

  20. I want a pair of those boots SO bad. They're pretty much a necessity in Seattle..

    ReplyDelete

  21. You are fabulous! For a second I thought you were back in the U.S. when I saw the NYPD car!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  26. not sure how your legs havent grown since 12 with your cheeto and chip obsession, but I hate you for it.

    Fine, I don't really hate you but I kinda sorta do, only because I want my legs to look like that in my Hunter rain boots :(

    ReplyDelete

  27. Aw, what a lovely taste of home!

    Also, I love the fact that The Descent and Lady and the Tramp are in the same stack of movies.

    ReplyDelete

  31. Oh we would've been the best of friends back in middle school, in all of our awkward/gangly glory. xoxo

    ReplyDelete

  32. You absolutely threw me off with the NYPD car. Nicely done.

    Beyond crying I might have gone so far as to hug the car as well.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  45. Ha, you're in big trouble girl. ;) And everything about the scarf, sweater, coat and sunglasses makes sense to me. :)

    ReplyDelete

  46. you are way too cute in your boots. i need some... need. in florida. if only to be like megs.

    ReplyDelete

  47. Hell, at least your calves FIT in Hunters. How am I supposed to be Brit/Preppy chic without my Hunters???

    HOW?

    And American Flags + pancakes = tears of joy fer sure.
    That's how i felt when my mom sent me boxes of Kraft Mac and Cheese in London. Weird part is, I HATE that stuff when I'm home....powdered cheese is a necessary evil.

    ReplyDelete

  48. I have some fat on my legs that you could borrow? Gimme a call.

    ReplyDelete
