    Discounts and Shopping Sensibly this Black Friday

    Top: Nanushka via Farfetch, Bag: Jacquemus via Farfetch, Jeans: Arket, Boots: Flattered, Beret: Vintage So as Black Friday is in full swing at the majority of retailers, I thought I’d share a post on how to be more thoughtful and smart with your purchasing this year, without getting sucked into the madness and ending up with piles of things you didn’t really want or need. Over recent months I’ve become increasingly aware of my consumption and can happily say I’m a lot more co

    Blazer and Trousers: Vanessa Seward x La Redoute (g), Shoes: Vince (g), Knit: Marks and Spencer (g), Bag: Chloe, Beret: Vintage Yesterday I was feeling very Parisian in London in my new suit by Vanessa Seward x La Redoute! I love a good collab and this one was sure fire to be a hit with me as I'm such a fan of both brands individually and a self-confessed wannabe Parisian, therefore what was not to love?! Both LR and Vanessa Seward echo the idea of affordable style that is ti

So we’re at the end of October and the new season is firmly upon us, which brings forth many, many jackets to my attention. Most options that I have recently fallen in love with see

    Home and Away

    Recently my fave travel brand Away launched the perfect suitcase travel companion - their new tote bags in Longitude and Latitude options, with four colour-ways on offer. The Kindly sent me the black Longitude to road-test and not only was it the perfect travel companion along with my suitcase when I went to LA, but has become a great everyday bag for out and about in town too! It has a magnetic closure and a removable back strap to slide on and off your case handle when trav

    A Shopping Trip to LA and Palm Springs with Simon Shopping Destinations

    Last week I was in sunny California on a shopping trip with Simon Shopping Destinations - the largest collection of shopping destinations in the U.S. with more than 100 Simon Malls, Premium Outlets and The Mills properties - to check out three of their shopping centres in LA and Palm Springs (I know, pinch me!). In LA we stayed at the wonderful Kimpton Everly in Hollywood for two nights and we visited The Outlets at Orange and Ontario Mills. We then moved on to check into the

    THE Chanel Sandals

    I feel like I've been searching for these sandals for approximately eighty four years, searching Vestiaire (and other similar options) on a daily (hourly) basis, so to finally find them in my size a week or so ago was a dream come true. No, I'm really not being over dramatic. That feeling you get when you've been on the hunt for a specific something for so long and then it finally shows up is, well, one of compete euphoria. I mean, that is, until you have to part with the cas

    The Thrill of Vintage

    Dress: Vintage, Shoes: Burberry, Socks: Muji and Bag: Elleme There is just something about shopping for vintage that excites me beyond any other form of retail therapy (yes, even sample sales!), and finding gems like this plaid ruffle dream are what make it so special. I first started shopping vintage way back in my teens - i've always been drawn to the sixties and seventies so have always loved rummaging for garms from yesteryear - and my friends and I would always check our

They are a Parisian label and I absolutely love their designs, so much so that i've bought two bags in the space of a few months. The latest addition is this knitted/ macrame cream number that i've had my beady eye on a while and that is gonna be my bag of the Summer. I actually found it on sale on Shopbop which I

    Summer Palette

    As soon as the temperature rises all I want to do is wear everything white and/or cream, and be forever drawn to linen, cotton and anything crochet. I basically lived in these & Other stories trousers last Summer and yesterday was their first outing this year and the love was instantly rekindled. The crop top and bucket hat were recent purchases (also from Stories) and I've surprisingly worn the top quite a few times already (surprisingly because I wouldn't class myself as a

It's been such a lovely process from start to finish and myself and Claire have been involved in the complete process with Matt.

One of my fave labels Shrimps has teamed up with high street retailer Warehouse to create a capsule collection of dreamy Spring pieces and it is UH-MAZING (and also relatively purse friendly too) and launches today!

    A Moment for Midi Skirts

    We are thoroughly in the thick of that in-between season feeling, where you're not quite sure if a leg can be bared or a jacket not worn; one minute its blazing sunshine and the next its blowing gale and pissing it down. We're desperate to sport those new season Springy pieces but not over confident it's quite the weather just yet - queue the midi skirt. This in-between weather means that above the knee hemlines are a bit of a risk, however with a midi length skirt you're a b
