So… I’ve made a decision… I’m quitting this blog. It was really fun for a while, but now it’s begun to feel like a chore, and I’ve barely had time to read any other blogs over the last couple of week...

[Facehunter] [Stil in Berlin] [The Glamourai] Proof, not that any way needed (imho at least…) that dog owners are just that bit more stylish than non-dog owners (ok, bar certain heiresses with a feti...
[Hat: Goorin, Shrit: Comptoir des Cotonniers, Skirt: Topshop, Boots: New Look] This is a different, yet not unfamiliar look for me. I went through a long phase of dressing very utilitarian, but now I...
[What I Wore, Late Afternoon, Vanessa Jackman, Miss Pandora] Soft pastel pink and nude hues, are huge right now. Not really a colour I do, I think I feel a bit blonde to pull it off without looking t...
[Dress: Oliver Bonas, Sandals: Lovely people] After my teens, I used to NEVER wear dresses. I blame the dance music scene and the need for ‘practical’ attire. Thankfully, I rediscovered dresses in a ...
[Blouse: Fornarina, Skirt: Asos, Wedge sandals: Topshop] Ok, not strictly ‘inspired by’, I’d put this outfit together in my head waaay before it was warm enough to wear it, but this week various fash...

Many, many years ago, when I was a 16 yr old grunge fan, I used to scour army surplus stores for size 4 army boots and parkas I wouldn’t drown in. There was a group of little kids who I regularly pas...
It was sooooo hot last weekend I resorted to breaking out my holiday wear - not that I’m complaining! London parks are so funny on hot summers days, full of people sunbathing in their swimwear (witho...
Following on from my last post, I thought a few inspirational looks would be a good way to mark the (LONG awaited) change in season… [The Sartorialist, Facehunter] To ease into the warmer days, a cut...
It’s a beautiful day today, so I’m hoping it will stay this way for a while, meaning there will be a shift in style for my blog (I’m ever hopeful, like my pooch when she’s eyeing up my dinner plate… ...
This is what I wore for my birthday back on the 8th, my bf bought me this dress from asos (which I chose) which managed to be both fun and comfortable to wear. We went to Saf’s, absolutely incredible...
I was recently reminded of the fantastic Biba label after seeing a recent documentary ‘Beyond Biba’ on Biba founder and designer Barbara Hulanicki (currently available on DVD). She’s a designer with ...

[Image: taken in the Lake District, UK, summer 2009 - just a snapshot of what I think is worth preserving!] I have to admit I’m a bit of a contradiction… I am definitely someone who cares about the e...
[Vanessa Jackman, Stockholm streetstyle] I’m not generally taken with suiting for women particularly the nasty, polyester trouser suits many business women wear, but I know it’s hard when you have a ...
[Shirt: H&M, Skirt: Asos, Clogs: Clarks, Cuff: Anna Lou of London] Another “shoot” on the Heath… and yes, I’m still being a wuss about baring my legs. The denim skirt was £7 from asos in the sales la...

Ever since the sun has been out, I’ve had that Beatles song in my head… FINALLY got out / got it together to take a few proper outside shots. The sunshine called for a change in colour palette from a...
You may have noticed an increasing number of websites, apps and other digital tools out there vying for the engagement of the fashion conscious amongst us. Obviously, there are only so many hours a d...
[Stockholm streetstyle, The Sartorialist, Facehunter, The Sartorialist] I love the elegent subtlety of a tonal colour scheme, it creates a visual depth in an understated, yet very conscious way. I es...
Apart from being too busy / lazy, I don’t post my daily looks because to be completely honest, I don’t wear a different outfit every day, so it would be pretty repetitive. I really admire the way sty...
The new track pant (essentially taped at calf) is everywhere right now, after appearing on catwalks including Bottega Veneta and Proenza Schouler, however, it’s main distinguishing feature, to separa...
If you’ve been reading this blog, you’ll know I’m very inspired by streetstyle and what real people are actually wearing. However, I also really love a good magazine editorial for some high-end inspi...
