Summer is here! (for a bit, anyway)

This weekend has been so glorious in England, I'm really sad that it's going to go back to it's cool, cloudy ways for the rest of the week. The hot weather gets me dreaming of summer holidays in Italy or Paris and I adore being ever so slightly sunkissed. I guess it would become a bit tiresome if it was constantly in the mid 20s from May until September... Actually, no. I would love that, but I know most people in England wouldn't! Whilst I was declaring my love for the warm weather and wishing it could be this hot all summer, Scott said that he would hate it because he'd end up spending so much money on sun block! Haha.

But yeah, bare legs! And sandals! It's hard work having to shave your legs and paint your toe nails though, I could see it becoming slightly tiresome after a while. But for now, I'm loving it. I have a slight line on the tops of my legs from sitting outside in my dress yesterday. If it was this hot for one week solid, I would be positively bronze. Today is slightly cooler here, but still sunny. This little dress is perfect for spring/summer days. The belt that came with it always get so tangled up, so I decided to use this cute bow belt from ASOS last year. I think it makes a cute dress even cuter. My sandals are old Primark. Not worn much because of the wonderful climate in the UK, so I am getting the most out of them now. I have spent all weekend reading this book:

and I finished it this afternoon. I noticed how it matched my dress slightly so thought it would make for a good photo for fashionable bookworms. This is also nominated for the Orange Prize and I think I enjoyed this much more than The White Woman on The Green Bicycle (although the last 100 or so pages of that were really, really good!). I started reading it on Saturday night and whizzed through all 322 pages of it by Monday afternoon. I love it when I'm that engrossed in a book that I finish it so so quickly, but in other ways I sometimes wish I could read it slower and enjoy it more. I guess it's kind of like when you have a big bowl of ice cream: sometimes you want to savour it and enjoy every mouthful, but other times you just have to gobble it up as quickly as possible.

Oh I also wanted to share with you this lovely blog, I know what you wore this Summer, that Gem created and people can submit their summery outfits too. I've already submitted today's outfit.

Have you been enjoying the sunshine this weekend? Are you fed up of it already or sad to see it go? I am very sad to see it go! But maybe I will be more productive indoors instead of just reading outside all the time haha.
