Style: Loafer Love
Via Gap You know you’re going through a procrastination crisis when you find yourself making a loafer collage just for kicks. Ah well, I’m a sucker for grandma-esque shoes and have a weakness for spending ‘quality time’ on Pic Monkey and Canva…note how many blog banners I’ve had lately? Anyhoo, I’ve been pinning lots of lovely outfit inspiration on my Pinterest Style board and it seems masculine type shoes (brogues, loafers etc) paired with feminine outfits and long locks is…

Tote of the Week: Oh Deer by Oelwein
Via Oelwein Hello there. You freaking out how quickly this week has gone? Yup, me too. I’m going to try my best to enjoy every second of the next few weeks whilst they pass by in a blur; taking note of the simple things that make me smile, writing Christmas cards and researching recipes for the big day. Also, to make sure I look after myself a little better to balance out the mince pies, cherry liqueurs and mulled wine…

Tote of the Week: Thank God It’s Friday by Antonin Plus Margaux

Tote of the Week: Gruppen Tote by Uniqlo
Oh my, what a week it has been. It’s been mainly made up of writing my socks off, doing research for a magazine feature, seeing family, getting my hair chopped, watching the National Theatre recording of Frankenstein at our local cinema (amazing!), receiving a new phone to replace my broken one from a lovely friend and changing the displays in Heart Gallery for the new Christmas exhibition. And if all of that wasn’t good enough, we finished the week celebrating…

Style: Winter Is Coming
Dark Red Aztec Snood // Gold Fox Ring // Black Leather Biker Jacket // Ankle Boots // Jacquard Skater Dress // Deep Red Felt Fedora I’m ridiculously excited about the change in weather. I want the cold, the rain (whilst I’m indoors) and the crisp air to bite at my nose as I walk to work. I WANT IT ALL. Because with the bad weather and lack of light comes all the good stuff: hats, scarves, hot chocolate, twinkly lights, DVD box set nights in (Game…

Style: 6 Wellies Under £50
As soon as I start waxing lyrical on refusing to wear a coat, it only goes and pours it down. A thousand apologies folks, the rainy sky is all my fault – doh.

Teal Wellies, Next// Havaianas, Shoescribe.com // Miss Chic Wellies, Argos // Tall Wellies, Hunter // Evercreatures Wellies, Garden XL // Printed Welly, Joules My wellies were unfortunately pinched from outside our house a while…

Bookmarked: Mugs, Totes, Anchors and Brogues
There always seems to be one (or all) of the following bookmarked on my laptop: tote bags, brogues, notebooks, anchor related nonsense, kitchen accessories and mugs. Oh and fancy hand wash; I’m a sucker for a little luxury now and again. Whether it’s something I will actually buy, gift, or simply feature on this blog, it cheers me knowing there is so much loveliness out there that suits me to a ‘T’! Here’s a few bits and bobs I’ve spotted…

Outfit: Swallow Print Dress
Swallow Print Dress c/o Warehouse // Milkman Bag, c/o Brit-Stitch // Denim Jacket, ASOS (2010) I am a complete sucker for a printed dress, let alone one with hundreds of birds on it. So when Warehouse asked if I’d like to review a dress from their collection, I of course saw and fell in love with this Swallow Print one. Swoonville. I have to say I was rather wary of it arriving in the post. My style is usually a…
