Tote of the Week: Carry All Bag via Howkapow
Carry All Blush Static Bag (£48.95) via Howkapow We made it to Friday folks! Excuse me while I fall to a heap on the floor, Amelie style. Anyway, things are on the up since the beginning of the week. I took a few deep breaths, ate a lot of strawberries and watched True Detective. The world is alright again. Plus I have a replacement phone so I can spam Instagram with puppy photographs to my hearts content. Hurrah! Despite the bank balance the…

Wardrobe Details: Wedding Guest Outfit
It doesn’t feel like summer without a good wedding to celebrate and last week the OH’s lovely sister got married. Hurrah for a loved-up shindig! We have a couple of weddings this year but I was determined to look to my wardrobe for inspiration to save on costs. As per usual all my insecurities came out to play and I felt frumpy in every occasion-style outfit I owned. Either they felt too short, the sleeves exposed too much of my top arms (wah!) or…

Wardrobe Details: New Look
This post has been in my draft folder for a while. You can even see the trees in the background had yet to fully bloom and my hair was in desperate need of a haircut; apologies for the frizz! It seemed only yesterday when we took these photographs though; how fast is this year passing? We’re nearly in August folks! Anyhoo, we’re now good to go and I’ve teamed up with my friends at New Look to share their Fashion Flashback Timeline, exploring…

1| I’ve got my eye on this oak and grey Fjord Compact Dining Table (£99) from Made. We’ve been looking for a small table to add to our open living space for a while (it’s a little difficult having guests over for food without having a dining table). I’ve spotted a couple of tables I like at an antique fair but I think we need something more contemporary to suit our current decor. 2| Looking for a chic statement necklace? This H&M…

1 | This dress with a denim jacket is my kind of perfection. I adore the colour red but looking through my wardrobe I don’t actually have much of it. I’m looking for bright clothing for Glastonbury festival so the OH can find me easily (how practical am I?!). You can purchase the Blackberry Dress (£49) from Boden. 2 | I do like a good pencil and these Rainbow Mechanical Pencils (£2.40) from Violet and Percy are the perfect colourful…

Wardrobe Details: Fenn Wright Manson, New Look and Lotus Shoes
My relationship with clothing has changed dramatically over the years. When I lived in Leeds I would stop by my favourite clothes shops frequently, on route to Jumbo Records, and end up picking up two or three items of clothing that I would wear once or twice, and then forget about. You know how that goes. Nowadays when I buy clothing I really have to LOVE it. It has to be something that makes me feel great, that I will…

Tote of the Week: Hand Woven Jute Macrame Bag from The Future Kept
I know, I know, I don’t need any more tote bags but this Macrame Bag from the gorgeous The Future Kept is now on my wish list. I think I might have to donate a few of my bags to the charity shop to make room for this elegant beauty but it’s totally worth it. Priced at £19, it’s an absolute bargain considering the amount of time and skill it took to make it, and its destined to live in…
