Co-ordinates

Weekend wonderings in Bristol... I'm loving all the hype for coordinated sets this summer but I'm not quite ready for the "belly bare" that so many gorgeous sets require, so this top and shorts combo from H&M is PERFECT! 

The print isn't too summery either so I can transition it into Autumn with some thick tights & a leather biker - Not that I'm wishing the summer away! Bare legs and sunshine for as long as poss please weather fairies! 

This look is definitely a summer staple though, uber comfy and I can cycle in it without flashing to everyone, a bike is a MUST in Bristol for zipping around, the boy found me a beaut vintage throwback, that I have big plans to include in a shoot soon. 

What are your summer go to combos? XX

DOUBLE UP

Spring is here, summer is on the way but it's still mighty chilly, the answer .... LAYERS! The magazine and fashion bods always say this as if it is incredibly easy to look awesome wearing 50 items at a time   but I never seem to pull it off in a way that doesn't make me look like I fell out of my wardrobe backwards. 

However, I may have had a a moment of brilliance, or I may be delusional if I am please don't pop my bubble for a few more days, the double jacket combo! I love it, stonewash denim jacket with a lovely leather biker. It gives a great collar combo, especially with a semi-sheer white shirt, I think I'm going to pair it with a striped crop and pastel mid-skirt next...

Any other layering combos throw 'em at me I'm on a roll!

L'AMOUR TOUJOURS - LOVE, ALWAYS

There is this fabulous block of heritage phone boxes on the Prom in Cheltenham that I have been eyeing up to use in a post ever since I spotted them when I moved here 6 months ago. Usually I try to do my photos in the middle of nowhere as I feel utterly ridiculous trying to pose for shots, emphasis on the trying, as  I always hate the posed ones (I have an unparalleled tenlent for involuntary gurning) and end up using the shots the boy takes when I'm faffing around getting into position. 

Nehooo, despite the gawking from half the high street and getting in the way of everyone, I am so chuffed with how the shots came out. Who knew Mustard, Red and Leopard print would be such an awesome combo! 

My fave item is my new grey body, I brought it on impulse as I loved the lettering and the combination of the low back with long sleeves. Next I think I'll style it with boyfriend jeans and heels or maybe a leather mini, sneakers and a neon blazer hmmm... 

What do you think?

Laid-back Glitter

The festive season is fast approaching and every store on the high street is busting out the glitter, shimer and shine. It's literally like every outfit has been attacked by a Bedazzler! (LOVE IT!) 

I am like a magpie and all reason goes out of the window at this time of year, because I convince myself I NEED EVERYTHING! The only trouble is I hardly ever do anything that requires the level of bling promised by the exquisitely styled window displays. 

I am, therefore, on a mission to incorporate some sparkle into my everyday wardrobe, much to the boy's dismay as I am like a glitter fairy in this skirt, it gets EVERYWHERE, seriously it's a wonder that there was any glitter left to shoot for these photos. 

(I secretly love it though - tee he he)
