05.11.2018- What I Wore Today #353


It feels like years ago now that these pictures were taken, but it was only a few weeks back! I can’t quite believe that the temperatures have plummeted so quickly, and, as I touched on at the end of last week, gone are the days of being able to leave the house without a coat- for now at least. Anyway, back to this outfit from sunnier days, which gave me the chance to give a new colourful staple purchase a whirl:

Shirt- Kitri 


Trousers- c/o Boden 


Shoes- Marks and Spencer 


Bag- Zara 




Regular readers will know that I love navy to the moon and back, and I’d even go so far as to say that it’s a shade which takes up the most space in my wardrobe. As well as being a great alternative to black, I find that it works really well with lots of other bright hues, and, at this time, of the year it’s always a good plan to inject as much colour into each day as possible. Here I paired a style staple in the shape of these Boden trousers with a fresh favourite from Kitri- this lovely striped shirt which I snapped up in their sale. As well as featuring a swathe of contrasting colours, it’s a great versatile basic too, and a piece which I can’t wait to style under some of my favourite knits as winter unfolds. 





Which pieces are you styling for winter?

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...
