It truly is carnival season!

Fortunately this time the sun was out :) I love Spring festivals, just being with a lot of other people celebrating the changing of the seasons seems so traditional and folkloric- really special. 

I think my favourite part was the confetti, it really adds a touch of child-like excitement to an event, the perfume of the blossoms is beautiful, the yellow everywhere and the marching bands :)

Mum liked the line dancers, I reckon she should join ;) There were local produce stalls, and artists displaying their work

Oooh, and we even had hot chocolate- thanks Dad :)

Carnival!

Yesterday was Carnival!

There are such a lot of photos I want to share that I'll keep this short and let them speak for themselves.

It's a shame the weather was dull and cold (was actually freezing!) But at least the rain held off :)

A couple of these were taken by my mum and the last two by my dad- these ones are not exactly outfit shoots because I was all wrapped up, but we found a site where a house had been ripped down and where the wallpaper was showing and it was too good to pass up.

If you are interested my coat was £5 from 'Vintage' second hand fashion outlet in Manchester. Bargain ;)

One of these days I'll do a proper outfit shoot :)

Any festivities happening around your end?
