I have this really bad habit I can't shake, it's called optimism. Whether there are rain clouds in the sky or a howling wind bending the trees double, when I look out the window first thing, I'm always hopeful of some sunshine and dress accordingly. Which is why I'm so massively underdressed today. Just cause there was no sun in the sky this morning didn't mean it couldn't brighten up later, so on went my favourite floral print mini skirt from Zara, and just because it matched, this ultra thin yellow vest top.... The temperature is 22 degrees today... and optimism does not keep you warm...! You may call this foolishness but I like to think of it as an unshaking faith in the British Summertime xx

park life

bag: Coach, Earrings handmade from Greece

Another sunny lunchtime spent in the park soaking up the sun. This time wearing my favourite earrings and...the first maxi skirt I've ever owned! Yes they've been around forever but cause I'm tall I can never find any that are long enough, usually they barely reach my ankles. That is until I discovered this floor length peach coloured beauty in the sale at Mango last week. I need a little practise walking in it though as I'm not used to full length skirts. Take this morning for example, I trod on the hem and tripped over at the train station in front of a platform of commuters! ... eek! Not something I want to repeat anytime soon! xx

shorts weather

Vest: Topshop (old), Shorts: Zara, Earrings: Accessorize (old)

Anyone who knows me knows I adore hot weather so over the last week I've been in my element. Not only does this heat-wave mean lunch in the park is back on (hooray!), but it means I finally get to wear my bermuda style shorts from Zara. Yay! The fabric is really light and the paisley print and sherbet colours are right up my street. I think they would work well with heels but today I've teamed them with my trusty gladiator sandals from Faith (anyone remember that shop?!). I got them four summers ago and they are still going strong...fingers crossed! xx

Kimono dress

Hi everyone! In truth, I've been a bit of a style free zone the last couple of weeks living in some pretty un-blog-worthy attire...  normal service will resume as soon as possible, but in the meantime, here is what I wore to my work party held at the V&A last month. I bought this kimono inspired dress on a Personal Shopping experience at Topshop a few years back and except for a night at the Opera it's been living in a suit storage bag in my wardrobe just waiting for another occasion as fancy as it! It's pure silk... it's got birds on it and... it goes with my earrings... Result! xx
