    Bzzzzz, Bzzzzz, Bzzzzz

    I’ve been far too casual lately. I’ve spent a lot of time this Summer running around and doing things, and apart from one Wedding reception (where I didn’t even photograph my outfit because I’d worn it before) I’ve been basically living in flats. Sometimes, there comes a point when I’m just craving wearing something a…

  • Anyone for Tennis

    Anyone for Tennis

    Today’s outfit is inspired by Wimbledon. Obviously I’m not actually going to play Tennis in it. I am terrible at Tennis. There is a reason my sport of choice does not involve balls or racquets. It is, however, an outfit that I feel inspired to pull out of my wardrobe every year while Wimbledon is…

  • We All Scream for Ice Cream

    We All Scream for Ice Cream

    Is there anything that says British Summer more than an Ice Cream Cone? Strawberries and cream, tennis in the rain, fish and chips by the sea, flying ant day and Cricket all have their place in the British Summer, but an ice cream cone has got to be up there with the iconic Symbols of…

  • Friday Frock Love – Top 10 Summer Sale Picks

    Friday Frock Love – Top 10 Summer Sale Picks

    I do love a Summer Sale. In spring when we’re all still wearing jumpers and opaque tights the stores flood with floral frocks and bikinis. Then in July when we’re just getting used to the idea that it’s going to be warm for a couple of weeks and we might need to invest in a…

  • Crop Tops, Pimms & Perception

    Crop Tops, Pimms & Perception

    Today’s outfit got me thinking about how we see ourselves differently than other people do. That might seem a bit of a tall order for a pair of trousers and a crop top. But, much like when I nearly didn’t post these pictures, I had a bit of a weird reaction when I looked at…

    Summer Make-Up Products

    I don’t know if you noticed, but it’s kinda warm. In attempts to cool down I have been sleeping with ice packs in my pillow case, keeping all the curtains closed, and generally skulking around in loose clothing feeling grumpy in a very British way. One thing I have not given up on though, is…

  • Playsuits on My Summer Radar

    Playsuits on My Summer Radar

    So, obviously I’ve been fantasy shopping for summer playsuits now. Now I have rediscovered the forgotten playsuit I have acquired a taste for them and have spent the last 2 days hunting down others I like. I’m kinda fussy. I don’t want anything too smart, as I really can’t see myself tripping off to a…

  • The Forgotten Playsuit

    The Forgotten Playsuit

    I’ve called this post the forgotten playsuit, but it wasn’t really forgotten. More the neglected playsuit. I’ve had this for years. I think it actually came c/o of George@Asda back in the mists of time, but it never actually made it into an outfit post. When I got it I thought I’d never wear it,…

  • Who Likes Short Shorts?

    Who Likes Short Shorts?

    This Summer I might actually invest in a pair of high waisted summer shorts. I haven’t really worn shorts since I was about 20 and spent most of the summer in a pair of denim cut offs and a pink halter neck convinced I was Daisy Duke. Since then my legs have stayed pretty much…
