Home and Style Finds: European Edit
I’m dipping in today to share some European L-O-V-E because I need a break from the news, and quite frankly our French/Spanish/Danish (and all the rest) neighbours are a talented bunch and there are some fantastic brands and shops out there, a few of which I spotted when I was last in Paris. Check out the lovely links below to some of my favourite European brands, that ship to the UK too. Chic, stylish and all-round scrummy… Diary from Happy…

Wardrobe Details
What a difference a week makes, huh? Like a lot of people I know, I’m feeling pretty disillusioned with the British public, government and media and I’d like to run away to the hills and stick two fingers up at life. Which is exactly what we did at the weekend. The EU certainly has its flaws and is in no means perfect but I truly believe this was the wrong time for the UK to leave. I’m miffed off, my…

Wardrobe Details: Navy, Stripes & Metallic
The other week I went shopping with a friend. Standard activity for a lot of folks I know, but I rarely go window shopping nowadays, only if I really need something. Living and working in Hebden Bridge means I don’t get out that much, as well as having a demanding pup that hates to be left on her lonesome (I don’t blame her really). After a pretty naff week all I wanted was a morning/afternoon spent window shopping, drinking coffee…

Home and Style Finds #14
From left to right: 1| My friends at Glasses Direct kindly sent me these Scarlett of Soho glasses (£95). One of the screws came out whilst in Australia and I’ve been itching to get them fixed since (I ordered myself a spectacle repair kit and felt very grown up). As soon as it arrives I’ll pop them on the blog – my favourite glasses from the brand so far. 2| This brand! This T-shirt! For playful days buy the Oh La…

Wardrobe Details: 50% Chance of Rain
Hello May! Can you believe it? We’ll be half way through the year before we know it so I want to make sure I really appreciate the month of May. The flowers, the sunshine (albeit fleeting) but most of all time spent outdoors. It’s been a strange old time, weather wise, here in the UK, which makes it impossible to decide what to wear. It’s a bit surreal knowing this time last month I was wearing shorts and sunglasses in…

Just Pinned: Culotte Cool
Left to right (clockwise): via Damsel In Dior | Maddinka | La Cool & Chic Yesterday I began writing my to do list. But this list was extra special as it’s a ‘things I need to do before our holiday’ list. These are the best kind, because at the end of it is a big fat juicy sunshine-filled reward as in less than two weeks we’re off on our jollies for lots of beach/vineyard/pool fun in Australia. I am beyond…

Home & Style Finds #12
Happy March y’all! I don’t know about you but I’m beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Boy has this been a wet winter. But spring is kinda/almost/nearly here and I’m looking forward to the warmer months ahead, and our trip to Australia in a few weeks. The promise of sunshine is seeing me through, my friends. Anyhoo, back to my latest home and style finds! From left to right… 1| We’ve been living in our…

Wardrobe Details: In My Sports Bag
Ha. I never thought I’d be writing a post about the contents of my sports bag. What a difference 5 months makes. It’s only taken me 35 years to do proper exercise! If you’ve started a new excerise regime as part of your January resolutions, whether it’s membership to a gym, running, swimming or walking everyday; the temptation is high to kit yourself out with new sportswear to make it all a bit more bearable. Or maybe that’s just me? When…

Wardrobe Details: Park Life
This is the winter I love and know so well. It’s only taken FOREVER to get here. Hmm. I have a feeling it won’t last so I’m holding on tight to these crisp, bitter days and hoping these clear skies show us some sunshine too. Not letting go, my friends, not letting go. We haven’t visited the park since the flooding as pretty much everywhere was contaminated (we didn’t want to take Polly anywhere her paws could pick up nasties). In the past…

Wardrobe Details: Weekend Style With Freemans
Going for a potter in town with my buddy Julia, followed by a jaunt around the park with Polly and the OH felt AMAZING yesterday. I’ve been going stir-crazy this week while Polly has been poorly, and I think she’s had enough of the same four walls too. Turns out, all we needed was a little fresh air, to see a friendly face or two and to enjoy some of the simple things. The day was made even better as I had…

Wardrobe Details: Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Hello all! The pooch is asleep so I’m taking some time to catch up on the blog with a cup of chamomile tea and a slice of Parkin, like you do. I’ll update you all with Polly’s adventures soon but first here’s a taste of what else I’ve been up to, in what feels like the final weeks of summer. When it comes to summer days out in Yorkshire, a visit to Yorkshire Sculpture Park, the UK’s leading open-air gallery, always…
