A couple of weeks ago, I went away with friends camping in Kent - and yes, it was pretty freezing! We drove to Whitstable on the second day and had fish and chips next to the sea and a mooch around. ...
Following on extremely neatly from my last post, this is the new dress I bought myself from Toast. Its an unlined tunic style so even though it looks pretty smart, it is totally wearable in this amaz...
Every time the Spring Toast catalogue arrives, it makes me desperate for summer holidays to be here already. Obviously, my holidays usually dont feature me sitting looking content on a beach at twili...
Another one of my amazing birthday pressies came all the way from Japan, and are, as pretty much all Japanese products seem to be, undeniably adorable. Lace, pastels, flowers, embroidery... the lot. ...

Dear blog, we are sorry for abandonment. But here is a new post! A bit of a dress up afternoon for me because I have (accidentally) acquired so many new clothes recently. This is the dress I wore for...
Perfectly matching my shoes to my new t-shirt never makes me happier. Also, voluminous clothes in general. Both the t-shirt and trousers- and I suprised myself here- are from New Look of all places. ...
Ive had this mens second hand paisley shirt for a while and struggled with styling it a little... perhaps for good reason! So I decided to go for an extreme contrast to stop me looking too much like ...
The amazing vintage Aquascutum mac given to me by a colleague. Such an distinguished colour with the classic trench shape made by the classic British fashion house. My face is kind of smushed by the ...
This is a outfit I wore the other day, but if Im honest, it is mainly a vehicle for my new lace shirt which I picked up the other day in the Reiss sale. When I brought it back to the office (yes, fur...
These are the outtakes from when we shot the photographs for our banner. The behind-the-scenes shots are a little less glamorous than the banner itself ie. involve cellotaping our handmade paper mask...
There is only one thing for it when you feel like the winter will never end, when youre desperate for some vitamin D and still shivering even in your own lounge... knitwear! I love this big cosy card...

Yeah, so... we drew ourselves some wrist tattoos on new years eve as our after-dinner activity. Strange, perhaps, but I was having dinner with three comic book artists! Sadly my contribution was not ...
So I noticed we havent posted a style spot in a while...then I checked back and realised the last one we did post was a dog. A pretty stylish pooch but still.This photo is from NYE and features a gor...

We managed to take these photos before the breeze blew me away! But even bad weather cant get you down when youre wearing the perfect coat. This was a Christmas present bought from Massimo Dutti, its...
Over Christmas I attended a Victorian themed party, and after a bit of research decided to create this simple necklace for my outfit. Its ridiculously easy to make and the fabric back means that its ...
There is something magical about a Christmas gift thats completely unexpected and my boyfriend (ahem...) pulled it out of the bag this year! I refuse to be parted from my beautiful Harris Tweed satch...

A most excellent charity shop find, if I do say! Light wool jacket - found for £12 from a local charity shop over the Christmas period. Perfect for work and supremely preppy weekend outfits such as t...
Other Dutch Animals HQ is, naturally, a most glorious place to live, filled with lovely people and things. However, when I see original, intricate and just slightly kitsch wallpaper like this, I can ...
Because it has been so unnaturally bloody freezing so far this winter, I have pulled out the big guns. My sheepskin scarf really is overwhelming large, like having an intensely groomed yet unwieldy a...
