When I went to France I couldn't help noticing the shutters on every single building in sight, from the alpine style houses to the big old buildings in Annecy. When I'm older I will have to have these on all my windows.

Summer Nights
Summer days driftin' away, to uh-oh those summer nights..........Uh Well-a well-a well-a huh
The best thing about summer has got to be the long evenings, recently I've been going for long walks and it is so worth it. The last time I went on one of these splendid walks was Wednesday, I think.
It was a fairly grey day (as most days have been this summer) and I was playing the new zumba fitness, it's very good, when a great big beam of light shone through the living room window it was at least 8:00pm but I didn't care, I was going for a walk. So I got dressed in my blue stripey shorts and sandals and went off, after walking into a bit of forest I was encountered by a swarm of overgrown grass and nettles, great, maybe I shouldn't have worn those sandals. So it was back onto the road. As I walked uphill on the pavement I saw all the cars pass by I could only imagine the faces of the people inside. Sometimes I feel like I'd be judged for wearing something in particular? Confusing, I guess I'm worried about what people think.I decided to go outside in my shorts because it's SUMMER, for some reason people have a problem with me wearing shorts to go out.It's surprising what a piece of clothing can do.
Anyway, putting my randomly confused mind to one side, the walk was great and I couldn't help taking a few pics...
I am obsessed with taking pictures of the sky in Summer, it's so blue, if only I lived abroad. I was just on my way home wen I saw the reflection in a car of the sky, I turned around only to see the sky full of bright pink and purple clouds. The sunset is amazing.

The White Shirt
This year has been full of vintage style clothing, and I love them! Along with 50's dresses and the beautiful jewelry, blouses and shirts have played a big part in this trend. The white shirt is a fashion classic and a summer essential and the best of all it is suited to all ages.
Along with the 70's look white is essential for this season with lace and embroidery. I love all the styles this season but I think that this one stands out a lot.
So I decided to get a white shirt but unfortunately I could not find one to my expectations (yes i can be picky). The white shirt is simple and classic but I wanted to combine this with a bit of lace and decoration. So I got an usual school shirt which they make you button to the top and wear with a tie which I hate! Luckily our school no longer make us wear these dreadful things and so I no longer needed the shirt.
So I got the shirt and changed it, first I changed the collar, to begin with it was a big pointy collar which I did not like so I cut it shorter so it looked more casual. Then the sleeves I also cut the sleeves and rolled them up so that they sat at my shoulders, then I sewed it into place. I was left with the bottom of the sleeves which always have buttons so I cut these into an arrow type shape and sewed these onto the shoulders. To finish it off I placed some beautiful ribbon and lace on the pocket and from the shoulders to the collar
