My Style: Pink Summer Dress

July 31, 2014

My Style: Pink Summer Dress

A couple of weeks ago the lovely girlies at Next invited me and a few of their favourite bloggers to see The Bodyguard for a girl’s night out and I wore this beauty of a pink lace dress. I was having so much fun, munching at STK London, catching up with my friends and then singing along to Whitney Houston’s greatest hits, boy can Alexandra Burke sing, that I totally forgot to get an outfit post. A crime I know for a fashion blogger!!! What I love about this beauty of a dress is that it can be dressed up or down and it still

My Style: Pretty Floral Skirt

No matter how hot is out there, even the hottest day of the year so far, it seems that I still can’t help wearing black and chunky boots, it seems that my wardrobe and style is all about winter. Don’t get me wrong I have pretty dresses in summer hues, I get them out on occasions, it is just I prefer black. So my compromise, with myself to wear more summery clothes, is this adorable dark floral skirt. I don’t have many floral prints in my wardrobe but this one appealed due to the darker vibe as well as the

My Style: Rocking Monochrome & Some Cute Flats

My Style: Rocking Monochrome & Some Cute Flats

I don’t think you can go into a high street store without seeing monochrome looks – it is everywhere for spring/summer and it is a trend that is going to continue into autumn, which is why when I saw this Jaeger dress in the sale I had to snap it up. This beauty, I can see now is going to be my throw-on dress, it is causal and comfortable with its oversized silhouette, yet it can be smartened up with a belt to nip in the waist, and can easily make the seasonal change from summer to autumn with the

My Style: Autumnal Layering and Breton Stripes

October 23, 2012

My Style: Autumnal Layering and Breton Stripes

I am a huge fan of autumn, mainly because it suits my layering style, and this week with the lingering fog and chill in the air my need for layers has become more apparent. We are in the midst of press day season, lots of time away from my computer, mentally making my spring/summer 2013 shopping list, as well as constantly being in and out of different venues – so this look was perfect. I am a fan of parka coats and this one from Dorothy Perkins is one of my favs and has been in my wardrobe for around five

My Style: What I Wore To My Friend’s Wedding

My Style: What I Wore To My Friend’s Wedding

Last weekend, before the weather turned on us, I was enjoying the sun down in Sussex for my friend’s wedding. It was a small but sophisticated affair at the gorgeous Marco Pierre White venue Kings Barns, and the day was just so much fun-filled with lots of Pims, laughter with friends, delicious food especially the strawberry Pavlova, a little bit of crazy dancing, adorable bunting, and most importantly a stunning bride and handsome groom. This was my second wedding of the summer, I still have another two to go before the year is up, but this is the one I have

  • While today the rain may have returned, just as I walking Falcon without a coat, I've been working on my garden series for my blog - I can't wait to show you more of my garden, the trends I'm excited to try this summer, decor tips for the ultimate picnic, and the spring blooms that I'm planting to brighten up the front of the house.
...
Is it just me who loves a fancy picnic? It's the thing I want the most when the sun starts shining and I'm obsessed with this botanical safari I did over the weekend - these cushions from @dekoria.de are amazing and I'm in love with these plates from @dunelmuk
  • Another day, another blossom tree - there is no such thing as too much blossom, it is seriously pretty.
...
I've been so overwhelmed lately with work, so many deadlines that I'm making an effort to make sure I get out every day and just live, enjoy the beauty of the moment and today's mini adventure was wandering around this beautiful farm taking pictures of blossom. Not going to lie was a great Tuesday!

  • Perfectly, imperfect!
...
I've been thinking about this need to be perfect, to have the most Instagramable picture, background, outfit, home and life, and how exhausting it is trying to keep up with social media expectations.
...
Over the last month or so I've been having more fun with my outfits, shooting more on the go, worrying less about whether it is an outfit that people will like, and how many followers I'm loosing, and I can't tell you how much happier I've felt with my content.
...
We can all get sucked into this Instagram vacuum and the idea of everything being perfect but isn't there something more unique and human about being a little imperfect?
  • I know, Little Bo Peep wants her basket back - but she's out of luck it's mine now!
...
I just couldn't resist getting in on the trend - I think this might be my fourth basket bag and I'm not even sorry.
...
Also, who's been loving this mini summer we've been having? It has been so lovely hanging out in the garden, heading to the beach and having picnics one of my favourite things to do in the summer. What have you been up to?
  • Been having a tea and gin party in the garden enjoying the sunshine today and it was such a lovely end to a very busy week.
...
This has been one of the funnest shoots in a while and I can't wait to reveal my garden party set up - I've got some new cushions, the prettiest crockery and I'm so happy with how my DIY pallet table came out.
...
Did you get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine?
  • Think I might need this cute @asos skirt in every colour - loved the yellow one and couldn't resist the blue one, question is do I need to add the khaki one?
...
There's something about the button detailing and the pockets, plus the great price only £20 and it is so comfortable even in this gorgeous heat.
...
I might as well warn you all now this might become a repeat offender on my feed I love it. Also, anyone else obsessed with buttons lately? I can't get enough.
...
Wanna shop this skirt in all three colours? Follow me on the @liketoknow.it app and screenshot this pic. http://liketk.it/2vrfv #liketkit #asseenonme
  • First up can we please give some love to my mum for this fab picture - isn't it great how do I fire the Insta-husband?
...
Also, hands up who's had a lovely sunny day? Mum and I have had a fab one filled with culture two exhibitions including the new Monet one at The National Gallery that I would definitely recommend and yummy food I treated her to the fabulousness of By Chloe and she loved it - I'm an addict for their guac burger.
...
Then after all that fun we enjoyed the evening sunshine with Falcon on his favourite walk - now off for more food - I can't remember when I've had a better hump day!
  • Spent the day running between press days, check out my stories for a sneak peek at what Boden has coming up for AW18, doing boring errands, trying to transcribe a really difficult interview the designer has a strong accent, and a crazy stack of admin that I sadly can no longer ignore. But hey at least we had sunshine!
...
So kisses with this cutie when I came home was much needed.
...
Hope you guys had a great day in the sun.
