(Dodgy) FOTD
O.K, so, my hair looks awful (it's got that in-between-washes-and-in-dire-need-of-a-cut kinda thing going on) and I can see that in my hurry to get ready this morning I did an atrocious job of concealing the gorgeous hormonal breakout currently occupying my chin. On...
Hobbs
I'm loving the vintage inspired dresses and skirts in Hobbs at the moment. They catch my eye every time I pass the window of my local branch. Wouldn't they look gorgeous on a sunny day with some wedges, oversized sunnies and a brightly coloured chunky necklace or...

The Big Easy
Me and my yukky cuticles again *scrabbles around for pot of Lemony Flutter*I'm kind of in love with the colour of this polish, although I think I'll reserve if for pedicures from now on. It reminds me of bluebells and I love how it looks truly lilac one second and...

Inspiring Me Right Now
Isn't the Internet the most amazing source of inspiration? I'm often overwhelmed by the shear volume of fabulously creative people and inspirational places there are here on the world wide web. And so, this evening I just feel like sharing some of my favourite corners...
If only….
... I didn't have to feed and clothe my two children. Maybe then I'd be tottering around in a pair of Vivienne Westwood Lady Dragon Heart shoes. I'm in love with these... I have been for a long time. Each new colour combination makes my heart flutter. One day, hey...
