09.06.2017- What I Wore Today #304


There's something crushingly ironic about the fact that I'm penning this post having just been absolutely drenched and windswept the moment I set foot outside of the front door- an indicator, I suppose, that the Great British Summertime is well and truly with us! After the glorious weather of last week, it's probably no surprise that the cosmic balance has been restored rather rapidly- something which is making me even more grateful for having been able to get away last month. The sunny South of France was every bit as beautiful as I expected it to be (keep your eyes peeled for some more posts coming soon!), and provided some seriously tip top backdrops for showcasing some of my suitcase staples:

Blouse- Marks and Spencer 


Top- ASOS 


Shorts- Topshop 


Sunglasses- Ray Ban (via John Lewis) 





This blouse from Marks and Spencer featured in a recent outfit post, and, from the moment I picked it up, I knew it would be perfect for the beach too- it certainly did a fantastic job at shielding me from the sea breeze! This basic black top from ASOS is another real perennial favourite, and a piece which is perfect for layering as I did here. Finally, these denim shorts from Topshop, which have been part of my holiday wardrobe since 2012, and which, I'm pleased to say still (just about!) fit! 





What are your holiday essentials?

16.08.2017- A Haircut at Rush, Shepherds Bush

Image
If I'm being totally honest, there aren't all that many things which will get me out of bed early at the weekends, let alone earlier than I would usually be up and out of the house during the week. Brunch is perhaps the one obvious exception, but other than that I tend to prefer morphing into something resembling a sloth of a Saturday and Sunday morning. Having said that, however, at the end of last month I found myself up bright and early for a very special Saturday morning trip to the newly opened Rush salon in Shepherds Bush - starting the weekend in style and giving my messy barnet some long overdue tlc: Opened a little less than a month ago, Rush Shepherds Bush is wonderfully light, airy and spacious, offering a really comfortable and relaxing atmosphere from the moment you step through the door. I've been a regular at my local Rush branch for a while now, so knew I was in good hands from the get go- and, needless to say, my hair was very much in need of a trim. After ...

29.11.2017- London Loves: Glossier's Marylebone Pop Up

Image
Another week, another post all about Glossier! Thankfully for my bank balance, I haven't raided their online shop again just yet, but instead made it along to their temporary store in Marylebone, which appeared at 32 Portland Place for a week from 15-22 November. Much like the UK online launch, the unveiling of this pop up space was hugely hyped, and something which was well worth a peruse one lunchtime: Tucked away just behind the BBC ( W1A quoting a-plenty!), this plush townhouse offered the perfect showcase for Glossier's signature aesthetic, with walls painted in millennial pink and gorgeous velvet sofas in a trendy hue of teal offering the perfect perch. Festooned with fresh flowers, the shop and showroom space spread across two floors, complete with all of Glossier's cult favourites and newly launched debut fragrance too. Although it was a tad on the busy side, it offered a great opportunity to trial some potential purchases in person, and hopefully it won't be t...

30.01.2019- On Learning To Trust Yourself

Image
So, here we are at the end of January- we made it! For some inexplicable reason, this month seems to last about a hundred times as long as any other, but it always feels like an achievement when you get to the end- a five week marathon of early morning alarms, cold weather and a seemingly neverending wait until payday. As well as all of the above, the start of any new year can always be a little bit overwhelming, especially if you're spinning lots of plates at once, are generally feeling a little bit run down or are as deflated as a blow-up snowman after the excitement and seemingly never-ending series of meetups during the festive season.  Whilst I'm not a believer in Blue Monday or any of the other general 'new year, new you' nonsense which this month in particular is synonymous with, January is a toughie for a lot of different reasons for me, but more particularly because it's a month which features a few anniversaries of family members passing away, including so...
