It was announced last year, but now there is an opening date, so come February 25, Coach will be opening their debut UK store and I can’t wait.

  • Lovely all these sunny days, filled with cute outfits, picnics and evening walks in the countryside. I know, us Brits all complain about it either being too cold or too hot, but I've decided to embrace it as hey you never know how long it will last. How's your Wednesday going? FYI this look is now on my blog, talking about summer style and how I like to wear white shirts - link in my profile.
  • Yes the weather is hot at the moment but I am loving how pretty all the flowers are looking - I seriously can't resist fluffy pink roses. I've also been getting through with lots of ice cream, a network of fans around the house and frozen cocktails!! What's your tips for getting through this heatwave?
  • My afternoon has been all about blogging, eating macarons from @maisonLaduree & wishing I was at the beach like @BarbieStyle. The Art of @Barbiestyle book from @assouline chronicles her addictive Insta account alongside quotes from some of her famous pals. A must buy for all Barbie lovers. Shop directly via screenshot or liking with the new LIKEtoKNOW.it app. http://liketk.it/2rK88 Also, these Laduree macarons are an exclusive and very delicious strawberry poppy flavour in Barbie's signature hot pink. They come in a special limited-edition box that mimics the book containing 12 of these beauties, I may have eaten more than a few today!!! #LTKUnder50 #liketkit @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.europe
  • Sunday sunshine with this cutie. Is there anything better than sitting under a tree with a picnic and your loved ones in a gorgeous setting? I decided that today with our mini heatwave that I would take my mind off our house stress and head outside and just watch the world go by and it was the best idea ever as I feel so much calmer. I love that a good day can change your whole mood. Feeling happy and hopeful.
  • So, my house move has been delayed at the last minute, so instead of the movers coming today I'm surrounded by boxes. To improve my mood I've decided to plan a trip to Paris, as Paris is always a good idea and an instant mood enhancer. Also, been looking into taking French lessons, as wouldn't it be so cool to go to France and boss it like a local. Hope your Saturday is going better than mine and you are loving this mini heatwave we are having.
  • 'Shine like a star' - how adorable are these cute flats from the @cathkidston_ltd AW17 collection - as well as them being Barbie pink they will only be £32 can't wait for these to hit stores. Are you a fan of bright coloured accessories?
  • I think all Thursday night's such be celebrating @BarbieStyle's new book - it basically chronicles her Instagram account and I love it. Barbie and @assouline have also collaborated with @maisonladuree on the most delicious macaron and limited edition box that's so cute. See more of my fun night on my Instastories.
  • It is beginning to sink in that the beautiful colleges of Cambridge won't just be down the road from me. Been such an amazing 10 years living here but I can't lie I'm super excited about discovering new cute spots. Now if someone can just pack up the rest of my belongings that would be amazing!!!
