The weather in London is funny right now. It's sunny one minute and gloomy or rainy the next. It's not freezing, but it's pretty chilly and even when it's not, the windy is cold, so I'm all bundled up lately! As soon as I put some things from winter into storage, I had to take them back out again... I suppose that's London for ya!

On a Sunday afternoon in London, the style is casual, relaxed and there's something about it that says "Yes, I was out last night and I'm definitely wearing my sunglasses, even inside." People seem to be more chill and you'll even see some people in full on sweats and trug gear, sitting in the nicest pubs in West London. I try to look presentable, but on a Sunday, I don't bother with much hair fuss and I definitely don't bother with eyeliner. Comfort is key for London Sundays!

Casual Friday and Saturday at the Salon

It's getting soooo hot here now that jeans are nearly unbearable! So yesterday I opted for the jean skirt option, which is totally fine for my office, but I'm not sure how appropriate this would be for casual friday in other offices.

Here's a close-up of my earrings.


And my sunnies! Fabulous sunnies are a necessity on island. For one, it's so bright that you literally cannot drive or see without them! Second, UV protection for your eyes is VERY important!!!

Hot & Cold

You may find yourself asking, "Why is Pink Julep's hair always in a ponytail these days?" Well, to answer that question, it's HOT! Really hot! All the time! So why am I wearing a cardigan you may ask? Because the air conditioning in my office resembles the temperature of the frozen tundra of the Arctic Circle! So today I have on a heavy and warm cardigan, but the yellow tee underneath is so light and airy it feels like wearing nearly nothing at all!

Here's a close-up of my perfectly matching yellow rosebud studs. Love these!

A close-up of my shoes, which sadly suffered an accident today... I scuffed them on the toe beyond repair! This saddens me deeply and to be honest, I'll probably still wear them for a while, but they just aren't the same anymore... bummer!

After work, hubby and I headed to Caymana Bay for some light shopping and a movie! You may find yourself asking "Why is Pink Julep suddenly dressed like Nanook of the North if it's so hot in Cayman?" Glad you asked! It's because the movie theatre here is FREEEEEEZING! It's so cold that if I have on flip flops, I bring socks in my purse!

Here's my outfit as I wore it out in the open.

And then I added a big thick cardi to combat the cold!

Casual Sports Saturday

Hubby and I spent Saturday casually enjoying the sun, having lunch at our favorite sports bar, Legends and watching the Kentucky Derby and later the Mayweather/Mosley fight. It was a fun casual day with loads of excitement! I decided to keep it super casual since when we left the house, we weren't sure if we'd be outside or indoors... 8 hours later, I was happy about chosing something super comfy to wear!

I love wearing my hair in braids when I'm going casual and don't give a damn. It's cute, easy and doesn't require a blowout! And I'm a sucker for white shades - these were only 2.50 Euros! Below is a close-up of the scarf I tied around my head... love this scarf!

I bought this scarf on a whim. We have some friends on the island who opened a lingerie/swimwear store about 1 1/2 years ago. We went to visit them at the store to show our support and they opened a bottle of champagne, which was fun! They had me trying on every bra and pair of knickers in the joint, but honestly, they were all sooooo tiny with European hefty pricetags! Nearly everything over $200 CI (about USD $250) at the time! Yikes! Loads of lovely Dolce & Gabanna pieces, but since I was saving for the wedding, I certainly wasn't in the market for $80 panties, yet I felt like I SHOULD buy something! Luckily when I picked up this adorable silk scarf, it was only $20 and I've worn it religiously ever since! I just love polka dots and especially when they're black and white!
