As much as I love maxi skirts I love maxi dresses. This one is my absolute favourite. The gathered front makes it the most flattering maxi I’ve ever come across. It can worn to almost every occasion too, so easy to dress up or down. The problem? It’s not long enough. This is an ongoing problem for me, it’s really tough being tall! I wear … Continue reading Clouds in my Coffee
I don’t know what it is about nautical stripes but they just feel so summery. Just like hearing The Beach Boys instantly makes it summer to me, perhaps because as children we were only allowed to play their greatest hits between June and August each year. The nautical look particularly appeals to me for the monochrome element of it. This little top is super cute, … Continue reading We come on the Sloop John B

I’m sorry I’ve not had a proper wed-nails-day for weeks. I left my lamp at Roz’s after our little girls night and only picked it up during the week. I’ve been seeing a lot if Aztec prints around, which I love btw, so thought I’d give it a go on my nails. I decided to not to paint the pattern on every nail. For two … Continue reading Don’t Stop til You Get Enough
So she may not be my favourite celebrity, I mean who cheats on Robert Pattison? But she has just been crowned Glamours Best Dressed for 2013 and I do like her style. Laid back, cool and simple, can’t fault it really. I get the impression she just wears what she likes and doesn’t care about having her photo taken or the tabloids opinion of it. … Continue reading I Like Those Stylish Clothes You Wear
Last week I popped along to a shopping event at Hummingbird. The event, Keep Calm and Go Shopping, certainly sounded like my kinda thing featuring collections from vintage clothing brands and handmade jewellery and accessory collections. I do like having something a bit different. The brands were spread over the first and second floor of the bar. I made a beeline for the vintage clothing, … Continue reading Come Up and See Me, Make Me Smile
Doesn’t the sun just make you want to spend time with those close to you and do simple things like BBQ’s. It just makes it impossible not to smile I think. It is getting tougher to get dressed everyday though. I have so many summer clothes, despite living in Scotland, and want to wear everything before the rain returns. These cute little shorts are Primark’s … Continue reading Fun and Sunshine, There’s Enough for Everyone
This months cover features the ever wonderful Helena Bonham Carter and a gorgeous Ralph Lauren gown. It’s smashing my favourite trend this season, monochrome. We don’t all want a neckline so plunging that your bra cups are showing or even a a few thousand pounds spare for an evening dress. It is amazing nonetheless. I found a couple of alternatives, my favourite being this one … Continue reading On the Cover of a Magazine
What a glorious day we’re having. My post is late today because I’ve been out enjoying it. I’m now off to meet a few blogger friends for a little girly night, writing this from the train. I foresee pizza and wine. I think I’m painting everyones nails too though, so may need to hold off on the wine, to start with at least. I’ve been … Continue reading With these Two Hands
The maxi skirt is one of the must haves this summer. They are absolutely everywhere just now. I’m loving all the patterns available. They are pretty versatile and you can style them up or down easily. The only problem I have is with 34inch legs, I know I shouldn’t complain, it can be hard sometimes to find one long enough. I figured I could make … Continue reading All I Really Want
