Festival season is probably my favourite time of the year. Watching bands, hanging out with friends, soaking up the great outdoors – it’s my happy place. Every year though, there are plenty of “festival lookbooks” which are just not practical. If you’re going to be trying to get in and out of a portaloo as… Continue reading Festival Fashion for Practical People
Sunset in Kensington Gardens is quite beautiful. I was lucky enough to swing by after work a few weeks ago for this little photo shoot. A friend of mine mentioned that a photographer friend of theirs was looking to expand his portfolio, and asked if anyone fancied testing some portrait shots. Naturally, I jumped at… Continue reading Around Kensington Gardens in Pictures
Hi everyone! I’ve been away for a little while, mostly because life and work got in the way, as they sometimes do. Rather than try some grand relaunch, or a total restructure of the blog, I’m just going to post some pictures of a couple of dresses I picked up from my local charity shop… Continue reading Charity Shopping – Summer Dresses
Sales I love the sales. I’ve noticed that I tend to re-stock my wardrobe twice a year, in the end of summer and the post-Christmas sale periods. Since the fashion world is always one step in the future, this means that often the “end of summer” sales are at the beginning of summer. Likewise,… Continue reading Friday Faves – Sales, Home Cooking, Corsets and Shoes
Oh my gosh, I can’t believe it’s been over 4 months since I posted a proper outfit post! I started this incarnation of my blog in January 2017 and it feels like a nice kind of symmetry to begin 2018 with a similar style of post. I’ve been having a big think about my blog… Continue reading Velvet and Suede and a Fancy Necklace

Since starting this feature, I’ve been writing down everything I do on an average week and it’s really made me realise how much I get up to. I’m… Continue reading Things from the week – 20.08.17
It’s Friday again! There are a few things I’ve been lusting after this week, along with a brand new discovery that’s taken far too long to appear on my radar. Let’s begin! This past week, my favourite things were:
My wardrobe is a total mishmash of styles and influences. I’ve got a fair amount of mid-century style; the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s are my favourite decades for sartorial inspiration. This look is much more 60’s themed though, and a perfect summer combo to cheer up London streets. This floral dress first featured on my… Continue reading 60’s Florals and Suede Boots
Helloooo! Welcome to my first diary style installment of things I did this week. I’m not really sure how these are going to pan out, but in the true style of giving it a go I’m just going to write and see what happens! So, without further ado, here are some things I did this… Continue reading Things from the week – 13.08.17
Welcome to the first of my new themed Friday posts. Each week, I’ll share a few of the things I’ve been thinking about, lusting after and generally enjoying each week. Sometimes I’m inspired by bloggers, sometimes my friends. Sometimes I see something whilst I’m out and about, and sometimes something pops into my head… Continue reading Friday Faves – Checks, Fizz, Bags and Skincare
