It appears we have skipped spring and straight to summer, beginning with a beautiful Easter Sunday. You can tell I wasn’t expecting it hence the knee high boots. I’m not complaining though, the sun has been the only thing brightening a fairly shitty week. My sister and I spent a lovely easter Sunday with my mum and her two crazy poodles. Seb has a bit of a … Continue reading Here Comes the Sun
Those people being my sister, the man went for Zorro. The intended look was 70’s, I like it regardless. You know how much I’m in love with the seventies trend, similarly you know how I love pulling out something long forgotten and giving it a new lease of life. These trousers tick both of those boxes. They were purchased in 2003 and after being firm … Continue reading Some People Call Me the Space Cowboy
The nights may be getting a little lighter but nature is still conspiring against me, 5.30pm sunset is just not late enough. I never realised before I started this blog how difficult it is to get decent photos inside. There’s a constant fight with the artificial light, as you can see here either too dark or spotlights on you. Roll on spring indeed. My unintentional … Continue reading It’s like the Darkness is the Light
Jumping is my new favourite pose. I see so many fashion blogs which are so perfect they’re like online magazines, that’s not a diss btw I love them. Let’s face it though my shots are never going to be that polished, might as well just mess around and have fun my my photographer sister. This is another dress is another little item I kinda forgot … Continue reading I’m Lightening on My Feet
Who says sequins are only for nights out? I’ve been eyeing up sequin trousers for months after spying some amazing pairs on Pinterest. When I saw these in H&M I had to have them. Lucky for me they went on sale after Christmas and I picked them up half price. Teamed with double stripes they’re dressed down enough for dog walks with my favourite boy. … Continue reading Sparkle and Stripes
I may have just dove into my wardrobe and thrown on all my favourite things. Luckily for me they all work together. This skirt is another bargain from the Mango sale. I love the colour and its quickly joining my hat, OTK boots and faux fur as one of my favourite things. We were so lucky yesterday and despite that ominous sky got all … Continue reading Cos A Girl Gotta Have her Favourite Things
Last night I popped along to the the West End’s Botanic gardens for a little preview of The Electric Gardens, thank you for the invite Roz. The gardens are beautiful all year round whether they be dusted with snow, like today, or bathed in sunshine. They play a central part in the West End Festival each summer. The Electric Gardens are a move to extend … Continue reading Electric Avenue
Sweeties are my weakness, I can eat them all day long. So why not take them as inspiration for some nail art? With all these candy colours they’re almost good enough to eat. I started with two coats of lilac and added the stripes and dots with a little brush. I did one colour/stripe at a time setting the shellac in between, it might take … Continue reading Just Give Me Some Candy
Now pink is not a colour I wear often. You know when you see something and are just drawn to it? That’s what happened with these trousers. It helped that they were half price in the ASOS sale. With all the junk food I consumed over Christmas I thought that they either wouldn’t fit or if they did wouldn’t look anything like they did on … Continue reading Cause It’s Pink Friday
Who says yellow is a summer colour? When it’s this cold and frosty you need to inject bright colours into you wardrobe. These yellow jeans were a bargain in Forever 21 at the end of the summer and after a few wears I now know why, they get bigger as you wear them and end up sagging off your bum. Not a good look! I’m … Continue reading They Call Me Mellow Yellow
