Hampton Court Palace! There isn’t much to say that I hope the photos don’t say themselves! A beautiful setting, and we were lucky enough to have gone on a sunny (but annoyingly windy) day. I’ve never been to Hampton Court, not inside anyway, and as I’ve long loved the history of the place, it was about time I finally visited! I loved the wall to ceiling paintings and just how regal every room was, from the gigantic windows and banisters to the chandeliers and assortment of guns hanging on the wall! It’s amazing to think the palace really did house those people hundreds of years ago.
We didn’t manage to cover the entire grounds in three hours, so if you fancy going – which I highly recommend!-, I think something more like five hours is more reasonable, especially if you want to go through the maze, which we sadly ran out of time for, but have promised to go back specifically for, very soon!
My dress was a full-length charity shop find that was shortened, and the bag is a charity shop number too. The denim jacket I bought from H&M (a much more reasonable price than other denims on the high street) and I snapped up these block heel brogues from a Topshop sale a few months ago.
Another beautiful post! Please keep them coming, they are a highlight on my blogroll

Love the outfit and the outing sounds fabulous. It is always fun to have adventures near home.
Hampton Court Palace is such a pretty place! What lens/mode did you use for the first picture? I got a 1100D today but don’t know how to make the background blurry. xx
My boyfriend took that first photo, but I believe it’s to do with aperture, the background becomes more blurred the more you widen the aperture of the lens (mine is 50mm), so on the 1100d, the f-number is the aperture and the lower that number is the wider the aperture, so the more blurry the background is! Hope that helps : )
Yes, thank you! xx
You are beautiful, and your blog is so lovely!
Just found it through Carrie’s blog.
I also love the dress you’re wearing.
