Parklife 2013

Some pictures from Parklife Festival (sorry about the picture quality but I didn't want to take my canon and break it :p) -

     

Parklife is a non camping music festival that takes place on a weekend in Manchester Heaton Park yearly. I will definitely be returning next year as it was an amazing experience. The festival is very large and has around 8 different tents each with varied music ranging from drum & bass and house to Tech, Hip-hop and mainstream music. 

Some of the acts that I saw were - Disclosure, Rudimental, Iggy Azalea, Rita Ora, Benga, Julio Bashmore and Jurassic 5.  I would completely recommend going next time it's on, festivals in general are always a nice escape from regular life, a time to relax and enjoy yourself. 

Bring on Parklife 2014 !! 

OOTD - Roses

What I wore to the park - 

Jumper - Romwe// Studded Ankle boots - H&M (similar here)//Bag- Mulberry Mitzy tote // Scarf- Zara (previous post)// Coat - She inside (previous post) Skirt - River Island

Yes I know firstly i'm wearing the scarf again, I think i need to lock it away for a while. I love this jumper from Romwe it was originally white like the picture below, but I made my first washing machine faux pas by putting it in with black leggings and it turned grey :( Boooo !!! It does however  look quite nice in grey, so i'm actually quite proud of my creation now (at first I was not a happy bunny !!).

Original Romwe Jumper 

I have ordered the unique irregular jumper again anyway as it has gone on sale from £37 to £19 (you can get an extra 20% off when you sign up too). The skirt is just a plain black skater skirt from River island, definitely a staple basic item that can be paired with many items, i'll do a lookbook soon on different ways to style the skirt.  

Day at the park...

Today my boyfriend and I went to Tropical world and Roundhay park in Leeds. Here are a few pictures from the day -

Roundhay Park Mansion 

Tropical world is a gorgeous indoor tropical garden, they have a large collection of exotic plants and  animals (shown in the pictures) such as Meerkats,bats and snakes etc. This is such a lovely attraction for anybody, a huge plus point is that it's boiling inside and at times you feel as though you've been transported to the Caribbean. Living in the countryside I see farm animals constantly but the animals in Tropical world are so unusual and fascinating, I have been here 2 times this month and it never gets boring. The price of admission is extremely reasonable also at just £3.40 for adults and £2.30 for kids which is far from the prices at many zoos where you have to walk around outside freezing all day (British weather Yuk) .

Roundhay Park (situated across the road from Tropical world), is a beautiful public park covering over 700 acres of parkland, lakes and woodland. I generally tend to just walk anywhere as I've been going to the park since I was young, however there are several marked paths and trails to follow which make for a lovely walk on a sunny day (always better with a dog). Roundhay park are the grounds of The Mansion which is a listed classical building that is currently used as a venue for weddings and other events. Additionally there is a restaurant/cafe called The Garden Room, I haven't eaten there in the evening but iv'e been there in the day many times and it is such a nice, picturesque place to get tea and scones after a walk in the park.
