Behold! Our car and a first look at my new bike as well.
I am looking forward to pimping my ride: Spoke beads are a given but I am undecided on the wire basket. My old wicker one wouldn't fit, so I am thinking of either spray painting this one in a light blue or covering it in vinyl/oilcloth - something with a bold pattern. :)
The weather has been dreary all weekend so getting outfit shots was rather a struggle. I was already drafting a "blog posts suspended" message in my mind but in the end I got a good loot after all so it 's business as usual here at Diversions. I can't wait for the days to get longer so I can take pictures during the week again rather than re-wearing everything on the weekend :)
Other than my photo marathon I've been mostly watching TV. True Blood and Boardwalk Empire are on Fridays and Saturdays respectively, so where the husband and I used to constantly yell "Sookieeee!" at each other Bill Compton style this has now been superseded by a resounding "Nuckyyyy!" in the same tone :D
No spoilers please you guys, I am not far into either season just yet but am enjoying both famously ;)
Hope you all have a most excellent week :)

Seriously liking the new bike! Great colour. I like the idea of a canvas basket-cover, but will it get all soggy and ick if you ride in the rain?
ReplyDeleteAlso - super-cute photo of you two with the car ;)
Beautiful bike and yay for the car!! That's so exciting! You really got some wheels now : ) And I adore this outfit by the way. The cowl looks so cosy.
ReplyDeleteLove the bike, the beret, and the green belt! And no spoilers for me either... I didn't even know there were new seasons on. Gaah!

ReplyDeletehave a good week, too.

I love Boardwalk Empire SO much! Best show ever. Can't wait for season 2!
ReplyDeleteawww how cute are you two?? hooray for the sweet bike in the back and your car. . .what a majorly cool thing for you. I adore your top!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteoh yes, the lighting turned out just fine! haha i always love how you do those little photoshop tricks. can't wait to see your pimped out ride! greattt shirt+belt combo, by the way (:
ReplyDeleteCongrats on both sets of "new" wheels! The car may open up an entire new world of backgrounds for your excellent photos. Please don't ever suspend posting because of a few days uncooperative weather.
ReplyDeleteThis outfit looks so perfect for the weather. I love the photographs as well. And your bike looks like it will be lots of fun to ride around town in the Spring. xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo much about this post made me laugh, the pimping your ride and the "sookie!" voice. i do the same thing whenever i watch true blood! "SOOKEH!"
ReplyDeleteanyway, i love all the layering in this. your coat matches perfectly with your outfit!
You two are adorable! I love to yell "Nucky" too. I don't think that's weird at all....
ReplyDeleteyay new car and new bike! both are so pretty and shiny! :)
ReplyDeletei loooove your blouse and would die for a copy. i wish i could watch boardwalk empire but i am too cheap for expensive channels and my boyfriend can't stand to watch tv on a laptop. i'll just have to wait for it to come out on dvd!
Your color schemes in all of your photographs is always fantastic. Have a blast with your new bike! I am sure we will get to hear of adventures you have riding it! Seriously, though, your style and way of composing your photographs- Amazing.
ReplyDeleteYour sweater clips are so sweet.
ReplyDeletethat last photo is beautiful! congrats on the new car and bike, I think covering your basket with oilcloth is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love the bike! So cute, I can just picture a fresh spring day with a new bike :)

You are as cute as a button! Love that last photo so so much.
ReplyDeleteYou are so adorable, and I love these photos! Your cardigan clips are quite wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of True Blood - enjoy watching it!
xox
i just love these photos they remind me of "the secret garden" :)
ReplyDeletecute outfit and great bike... i got one similar to it over the summer but it isn't the easiest thing to ride (mainly up hill)
oil cloth! like a Cath Kidson style print would look sweet.
ReplyDeletep.s. true blood...holla!
Yeah - totally agree :) Something floral or a pink & grey damask. Shabby chic all the way :D
ReplyDeleteGood point. I was thinking I might just put it around the sides and leave the buttom plain for drainage :)
ReplyDeleteAAhhh, your style is fabulous! I love how quientesentially British it is.. and, added to the fact that wonderful brick wall and bike in the backgrouns! Veryyy nice! xxxxxxx alwaysxbeing.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletethe photography here is beautiful, i really like the cardi clip and also the bike looks very retro, love it!
ReplyDeleteI think covering the basket in oilcloth is a great idea. Do share the end result if that's the route you take :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the cardi clips. I need to break out some of mine soon. They have yet to show themselves on the ol' blog.
Love your top and green belt together!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you come up with for the bike, spray-painting the basket would look cool, but the fabric idea is even better!
Also, you two are super-cute ;)
