Carnival Brights

It’s that time of year again! The sun has finally graced London with its presence and suddenly anything seems possible. Notting Hill Carnival is round the corner and for one reason or another I haven’t been in a few years. This year I may take Princess to sample the wonderful coconut water, grilled corn on the cob, beautiful floats and banging sound stations.
I’ll need a comfortable outfit so a maxi dress is a must. Wedges will add the required height without giving me sore feet and a level of glamour to the outfit, otherwise it could look like I was off to the high street. I love maxi dresses when I’m out and about near children as there’s no way of them pulling down your skirt or exposing a boob to the world when they are tugging your clothes to catch your attention of plead for something (normally sweets or ice cream).
I’m thinking that as long as rain isn’t forecast I’ll wear my hair out in a twist out of shingled afro. Loud, proud and low maintenance hair and outfit! What do you think? Like the colours!?

    Lovely colours! A shame it’s Nottinghill Carbival not Trinidad Carnival though! ;)

      unfortunately I know nothing other than the Notting Hill one so can’t compare – would love to do Rio carnival though!

    Ooo I love these colours! It’s been years since I’ve been to the NH Carnival. There was a bit of a scrum last time we were there and I got crushed up against a railing which was a bit scary, although the rest of the day was lovely. It’s a bit far for us to travel now, but have a great time in your maxi dress splendour! P.S. Loving the sound of that hair too – photos please!

      I admit maybe 10 years ago I got caught in the middle of something which was unpleasant. Other than that I’ve luckily always had an amazing time!
      I’ll take loads of pics and you can relive carnival vicariously through me this year!!
