The questionnaire asks simple questions you’d expect (colouring and shape etc) but also asks about your lifestyle too, to help put together a more informed and accurate selection of recommended outfits. Once I finished the questionnaire (which takes around 5-10 minutes) my style…

Outfit Post: Valentine’s Weekend
In truth, Valentine’s Day this year was spent indoors sheltering from the torrent of wind and rain outside with a homemade lasagna, box of chocolates and a bottle of fizz. Pretty much the type of Valentine’s we always have! So when George at Asda, sent me a few pieces to celebrate Valentine’s Day, I choose to don my outfit on Sunday, a couple of days after, for afternoon lunch in Hebden Bridge. Spot the dry pavements! Jersey Skater Dress c/o George…

Outfit Post: Featuring Alicia Satchel by Nica
What a lovely weekend that was! As well as working at the gallery, we managed to make the most of our time and planned our NYE trip to Bamburgh in Northumberland (consolation prize for not getting Glastonbury tickets); I cannot wait. I first went on holiday to Bamburgh/Seahouses when I was a baby; camping with my brave parents. We then returned EVERY year up until I was a moody teenager. Then I took my friends there, then my boyfriend, and now I’m…

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.

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…
