Painting the roses red

By Gem - 13:04:00

I spent a lovely weekend with Sarah - A Million Dresses (eating her out of house and home) along with some of our other friends and had the most wonderful time. I'm sorry for all the tweets and instagram updates about food all weekend, you have probably had more than enough of my snaps but I have an outfit post for you and another post later in the week with more photos of castles and cake.


We spent some time at the very pretty rose garden in the grounds of Warwick castle and Sarah took some photos for me. Us bloggers can sniff out a good photo oppourtunity, this garden was so pretty it was a shame not to take some photos of it and my new Jaeger dress. I've has my eye on this dress for ages and when I saw Jenna Louise Coleman wear it I knew it had to be mine. I wouldn't normally buy fancy dresses from Jaegar but it feels really special and I will get a lot of wear from it. Sarah also has this dress and wore it the next day, we will have to co-ordinate who wears it when we hang out.

I'm not sure if the photos do the dress justice. It was a little creased because it had been in my case it it was the hottest day of the year so I looked a little gross. I did feel very glam in it and I've worn it three times since it arrived last week.The only reason I'm not the same colour as my dress is because I covered myself in factor 50 sun protection all day.

The garden we visited was first laid down in 1868 and all the roses in the garden are traditional cultivated species and are usually in full bloom from late June till the end of July. Looks like we visited at the perfect time.

The garden had a tennis court laid over the top after the Second World War but was resored in 1986 and opened by Diana, Princess of Wales.

      I suffer so other people aren't subjected to the sight of my legs ;) I find it cooler and I have some weird tan lines on them which I was covering...
