Jumpsuit: Traffic People c/o Your Fitting Room, Shoes: Maguba, Basket bag: Topshop, Necklace: Chupi If I had a pound for every changing room mirror and lighting situation I moaned about I'd be a very rich gal. The funny thing is, I always think, shouldn't changing rooms be providing the best possible light and mirror situations in order to make you look like your best self, thus persuading you in to buying all of the clothes, no?? Just a thought retailers... Anyway, why put y

Bag: c/o Mi-Pac, Shoes: Converse, Dress: Realisation Par, Beret: Vinatge and Sunglasses: Gucci So festival season is in fullllll swing and I was lucky enough to be invited to Lovebox last Friday with the lovely Mi-Pac folk. Thanks for all of your help in picking my outfit by the way pals, as you can see I opted for number two - the star print dress and silver backpack - and had to throw in a red beret too because it was Bastille Day! I was there along with Sophia - one of my

This Friday I'll be excitedly heading to Lovebox in Viccy park with the lovely folk from Mi-Pac so obviously it's high time I started planning my outfit! I have a fair few ideas floating around and three lovely backpacks to choose from too so thought what better way to make a decision (I am literally the most indecisive gal ever, maybe I'll take an extra outfit in my bag? No?!) than to ask you guys what you think! So I've planned three outfits around each of my beaut Mi-Pac b

Dress: Topshop, Bag: Cult Gaia, Shoes: Castaner I've always been into dresses but never as much as I have this Summer. I'm living in them - midi, mini, maxi, polka dot, printed - you name it I'll be wearing it. With temperatures hitting a ridiculous 34 degrees in London of late, any clothes at all are too many clothes and so the only option has been to throw on a slip dress and sandals for fear of turning into a puddle of my former self. They're just so easy too. No faffing a

Jacket: & Other stories, Skirt: AC for AG, T-shirt: c/o Fan Club, Shoes: H&M, Bag: Mansur Gavriel I am so into this jacket. Yes, it may well be teetering on the fine line between Parisian chic and children's TV presenter/ golf enthusiast but hey, I'm OK with that. I've been after a check or gingham blazer for quite a while now (ideally this Altuzzara number if we're being honest but unfortunately I had to pay rent instead, how inconvenient?) and when I spied this beauty in &

Dress: H&M, Trainers: Vans, Bag: Simon Miller, Jacket: ACNE Studios, Earrings: Mango I'm about as deep as a puddle when it comes to writing blog posts. I write about material goods and how much I like them, and besides fashion feelings and declaring my undying love for a picnic basket or gingham garm here and there (OK, quite a lot...), that's about as heartfelt and deep as I get on here. But after the horrendous few weeks we have had in the UK following the recent Manchester

Top: Lasula, Shorts: Vintage Levi's, Bag: Mansur Gavriel, Sandals: Birkenstock, Sunglasses: Rayban via ASOS Summer? Is that you? Have you finally decided to grace us with your presence? Ahh sun. It just makes everything better doesnt it (public transport aside...) I think it's fair to say that its time to dust off the short shorts and bikini tops, and spend all free moments soaking up those rays and prancing around on picnics. Or, you know, wearing the picnic. Queue my cute A

...Everyone needs a Bonsai bag in their life. Jacket: ACNE Studios, Jeans: Levi's via Beyond Retro, Shoes: Raid via ASOS, Bag: Simon Miller via Browns, Blouse: Topshop, Earrings: Mango The latest addition to my belongings carrying collection is in the form of this dreamy Simon Miller wooden handle bucket bag. Yes, I finally caved in and got one. I seem to have been doing that a lot lately, self restraint at an all time low it seems. Oh well, wardrobe happiness at an all time

I have no self control. I caved in! I bought the Realisation Par dress of dreams! Dress: Realisation Par, Sunglasses: Ebay, Bag: Simon Miller via Browns, Shoes: Spanish Market I've wanted one (well, about five) for so long but the price, the shipping fees and the import duties were just too painful and I couldn't talk myself into it being worth the investment so I've just been admiring from afar. Until now. Instagram is the devil when it comes to cute AF niche brands like Re

This polka-dot puff sleeved top was one of those see-it-can't-get-to-the-till-quick-enough kind of finds and despite making me look slightly clown-like, lolz, I knew it had to come home with me. I also bought another cute spotty top at the same time too so there's a definite theme going on here. I just love polka dots. Who doesn't? And can you ever really have too many? They're in the same boat as a striped tee as far as I'm concerned and well, let's not even get started on t

Stripe top - Saint james Dungarees - stella McCartney via Vestiaire Collective Basket - Vintage Espadrilles - Viscata You know when you've wanted something for like, ever? When you've been searching high and low, eBay and Etsy, depop and Vestiaire and then one day it just shows up....in your size...and not forcing you to sell a limb to fund it? Yeah, that. I've been searching for this dungaree playsuit by Stella McCartney for the best part of seven years. Ever since I saw a c

T-shirt: Sezane, Jeans: Topshop, Espadrilles: Spanish market , Bag: Sezane, Jacket: ACNE Studios I tried really hard to not buy this t-shirt as my slogan tee collection is getting waaaay out of hand, but last week I finally caved in. I mean, as a wannabe French gal and a sucker for a slogan tee it was inevitable really but let me tell you why it was also actually guilt free. Sezane (my latest obsession) will be donating all profits form this tee to UN women who work for Women

Sunglasses: Ray ban via ASOS, Shirt: vintage, Shorts: Levi's, Bikini: Urban Outfitters, Shoes: Birkenstock via Urban Outfitters, Basket: Vintage, Pineapple: C/O Malibu Hat: Vintage, Sunglasses: Ebay, Dress: Zara, Shoes: a little Spanish espadrille shop! Dress: zara, Shoes; Saltwater, Bag: Vintage, Hat, Vintage, Sunglasses: Ebay So as you may or may not be aware (pretty sure you are aware due to my Insta-spam like...) I jetted off to Malaga in Spain for a pretty (Taylor) swift

Top - Ganni Jeans - Gap Shoes - Converse Jacket - ACNE Studios Bag - Zara Two of my current faves ticked off in one item of clothing - red and slogan tees! Red is having such a moment. Not least just with me but I've seen so much of it all over the shop (quite literally) recently. I've had my eye on this Ganni number for a while now so decided it was about time that two became one. I'm currently loving anything Ganni to be honest, they're really nailing it and going from stre

Shoes - Raid Jeans - H&M T-shirt - The Deep End Club Sunglasses - Ebay Jacket - ACNE Studios Gals, if you haven't heard of Raid footwear, listen up! It's a relatively new brand I discovered a while ago on ASOS and they make one of my favourite versions of 'the Rachael shoe' (black, patent and multi-strappy FYI) which I basically never have off my feet so if you follow me on Instagram you'll know the exact ones I'm sure! If not, these are the culprits. So with this in mind, ob

Me: dress - Zara kids, shoes - Orla Kiely, bag - vintage Yazza: dress - Zara, shoes - Carvela, bag - Mulberry I'm such a Mammy's girl. I always have been for as long as I can remember and I always will be. She's my best friend and I am the definition of 'my mothers daughter' - we're so alike. Aside from looking very similar, we have similar mannerisms, similar likes, dislikes, thoughts, hands (lol, they're like clones), were both soft as muck, very particular, love a lie in a

Jacket - Zara Beret - Retrouve Vintage Blouse - Archive by Alexa @M&S Jeans - Whistles Bag - Charity Shop Shoes - Gucci Hello my names Rachael and I'm obsessed with basket bags. Seriously I cant seem to stop buying them. All different shapes and sizes, if it's a wicker/ wooden/ weaved goods carrier then I'll take it. Although baskets can work all year round they're definitely more of a Spring/ Summer necessity (hence why you cant scroll through your instragram feed without ev

Beret - Depop Jeans - Levis (via Depop) T-shirt - American Apparel Jacket - H&M Bag - APC Trainers - Nike This is dedicated to my pal Sarah who specially requested a lesson in Depop and since I thought many of you might want in on this 'how to' I’m turning it into a blog post. So let’s start from the beginning. If you have never heard of Depop then let me enlighten you – it’s basically a cross between Instagram and ebay - an app for selling your goods (so you can go buy more

Jumpsuit - ASOS Bag - c/o Radley Espadrilles - Viscata Trench coat - Burberry Last Wednesday I was invited to a fun-filled afternoon of flower arranging with Radley and Bloomon at the oh-so-beaut-and-instagramable Paper Mill Studios in Angel. I'd always wondered where that pastel coloured dream building was so obvs they had me at hello! The inside is just as beaut though let me tell you and if you follow me on Insta then i'm sure you've seen some snippets. Literally the perfe

Dress - ASOS Necklace - Chupi Bag - Vintage Shoes - Converse (via ASOS) Everyone buys 454567 varieties of the same thing right? No? But look how cute it is? It's totally different to my other red gingham dress I just bought...Honestly if i could stop buying what is essentially the same thing over and over again i'd be a millionaire. Well, I'd save some space if nothing else. But hey, I know what I like. Why break the habit of a lifetime? If you follow me on Insta then i'm sur
