Showing posts with the label Alice in Wonderland

Chester // Day out

In my last post, I promised to put up some pictures from Chester while we were on our spa weekend, so here they are. On the Sunday we visited Chester Cathedral, as we found a leaflet at the spa saying there was going to be an exhibition celebrating 150 years of Alice in Wonderland. Entry was free and we spent almost an hour there. After visiting the Cathedral, we walked along the main street, visited a couple of charity shops and stopped for to see a show by a local street artist. I arrived back in Manchester around 6pm and wasn't tired at all! I'm usually quite exhausted after travelling but this time I was absolutely rested. Chester is definitely a lovely town - I recommend visiting for a short trip or weekend away.

OOTD - Alice in Wonderland

Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was first published in 1865, so I am celebrating the 150th ­anniversary of its ­publication today with this cute crop top inspired by it. I am such a big fan of the book and I think I have seen almost all of the movies - I even have a copy of the book on my iPhone. Maybe it's time to read the sequels too? The top was ordered from Choies and even though it took quite a long time, I was really happy when it finally arrived. It is lightweight, flowy, colourful and perfect for summer. I paired the top with my black maxi skirt and brown flats. The whole look is a bit bohemian - I can't remember the last time I looked like this!
