Motel, Hotel, Cactus Crush Inn

So Palm Springs, when can I move in? I know the house I'd choose (along with every other blogger babe in this millennium), it's the one with the chocolate box pink door, say no more. I'd wear this outfit for my moving in moment, simply for sizzle and sass factor. As always Motel Rocks are kicking ass with their cactus cool vibe; this Kimmy high waisted skirt matches my cactus crop top, worn in this previous ootd post. The suede sand top had my heart hot, if you're into sandy shores like I then it's worth snatching up this Pitchu fringe crop top, also from Motel, for yo' self. As you know I often talk about escape, of sunnier climates. I'm guessing most fashion bloggers would agree this outfit was made for sunshine and good fun. Just you wait Palm Springs, one day you and me need a hot date! The contrast hat was a sure fire scoop from Missguided way back when. I wore it with this UFO dress and I think it's cool for cacti. 



As I explained earlier this week on Instagram, I'm definitely a free spirited soul. When I was 11 I had visions and notions of living somewhere much like a desert, all hot floors and sand dunes. White washed walls, aqua seas and tropical towns. Only now, I can see the dreams and manifestations of way back then seem to be crystal clear; all those never-ending stories in my head have formed into one: my first book. The daydreams of far out ideas and escapades now serve my fashion blog. And finally, those notions of tropical towns, aqua seas and palm trees: another dream yet to fulfil. 

Graham and I saw Pulp Fiction for the first time at a special screening this week. One of those films I've always wanted to see but never have done. I thought it was pretty good, although Tim Roth- not enough airtime, is it just me or do Pumpkin and Honey Bunny need their own sitcom? John Travolta - too much airtime, same for you, Uma Thurman. Graham and I often argue over who's more badass, he says Samuel L Jackson and I say Wesley Snipes, but I've got to give it up for SLJ being pretty damn funny in that movie. And of course, the bad motherfucker wallet thing kinda goes against my argument.... damn. 



What are you up to this weekend?
I hope you're having a BLAST! XO

  3. Can you believe I've never seen Pulp Fiction? I've never been a fan of Tarantino, but perhaps I've never given him the chance. I really love the cactus pattern and how much you seem to love them Sophie! They really suit you somehow. Lovey pictures as always, you look like a Western princess. x

  4. Pulp Fictions was one of my favorite movies as a teen. I really did love all the characters in it, crazy, funny, good. Your skirt is so fun, I love your whole look. If you ever do go to Palm Springs I highly recommed going to the museum there. Great art to be seen!

  22. Style oasis if ever I saw one! I can totally see you driving down an open highway, the only trace is the tyre tracks in the sand, en route to a diamond beach scattered with palm trees. I know those dreams will soon become reality. You look a total babe as ever here Sophie, hoping you're well <3

  25. Babe you are the ultimate free spirit and you could certainly get your fill of palm trees and blue oceans if you come to tropical Australia **hint hint**. This look is an absolute beachy boho dream! The cactus skirt really floats my boats and you are looking stunning as ever. Also, that poppy field is divine

  29. That Pink Door is definitely the perfect photoshoot destination, isn't it? Heck, we should just move the hell in ;) I just love how things have worked out for you with your book, and hopefully 2017 will be time for it to shine! As for who's more badass, I couldn't even choose between them two! So instead I'm gonna say Bruce Willis since I saw Red 2 again last night and was yet again amazed at his moves! As always this shoot is amazing, and you should definitely use this location again! Such a stunning backdrop! <3 xx
