Style: Grown-up Grunge
I have a confession to make. On the 10th September 2013, I gathered evidence from my laptop and came to the following conclusion; I have succumbed to the grunge trend (call the cops). Not one, but six leather jackets were bookmarked on this ‘ere computer. Followed by Autumnal and rich floral dresses and ankle boots…SO MANY ANKLE BOOTS. Add my usual unkempt hair and deep red nail varnish and there it was for all to see. Grunge has found the 90s kid in…

Lately: Chatham Marine Deck Shoes
My feet have been in the wars lately; bitten to within an inch of their lives by midges (only drawback of the Summer!), blistered by poorly fitted shoes and to top it all off, my poor left foot was stung by a wasp drunk on berries (don’t ask).

Outfit: A Casual Summer Evening
My pale (now freckled) skin can’t take much of the sunshine during the day so I’m much happier at night pottering around in the evening sun in casual attire. Our evenings have been made up of trips to the pub for a pint and a half, chasing blue bottle flies around the house (I need the windows open!), watering plants whilst listening to music and prancing around in my new red chinos and delicious black brogues from Bonprix. Yup, I may have pretended…
