Hello Yellow

Matilda Dress from Coast

A pretty dress, very unlike me. But I just love it. Mainly because of the black trim, a small detail but one that makes this dress super easy to style. And the contrast with the yellow jacquard pattern just works. Btw, the yellow is brighter in reality. Also the shape is just perfect. High neck. High hemline, with the structured lantern shape keeping it all very modest

Summer holiday right there

Sale Spree

Happy Friday!

I have succumbed to the sales, John Lewis and Zara to be precise

I couldn't wait to get into a Zara store so I decided to pick up some things that I've had my eye on, and that didn't need trying on

Quilted Messenger Bag With Pocket

I do love an oversized clutch but I thought I'd try out a little cross body bag for a change

Combined Court Shoe

I thought these heels would look fab teamed with a boyfriend jean, white tee and statement necklace (here)

Quilted Messenger With Pocket

I just loved the colour of this bag and thought it wouldn't add a pop of colour to a more muted outfit

Have you been sale shopping yet? What's your best buy?

I'm really looking forward to the weekend. We're cooking dinner for Andy's sister and brother in law tonight where I predict copious amounts of prosecco will be consumed. Tomorrow we are going to Taste of London in Hyde Park, yum. So needless to say Sunday will be spent pounding the pavements after our food fest weekend!

What are your plans for the weekend?

Cool Coat

This weather is just too damn all over the place at the moment so it got me thinking that I need summer coat in my life

Heidi Stripe Summer Coat from Monsoon

I saw this one in Monsoon and whilst it is very nice, it didn't quite tick all the boxes for me. I love a collar which it is obviously lacking. And although it has been reduced it's still on the slightly expensive side for my liking, considering (hoping) that I shouldn't actually need to wear it everyday

Stripe Biker Coat from Warehouse

I love a breton stripe so I was really hopeful when I spotted this coat. And then I tried it on. Not a good look on me, far too boxy on the shoulders . But if it's your thing it's half price right now 

Textured Swing Coat from Topshop

I really liked this soft mint coat but it was sold out in my size, but hopefully I'll get lucky on ebay

Floral Coat from ASOS

Then I saw the lovely Ms Flack in this little number. Summer (in a) coat literally. It's half the price of the Monsoon coat, yay. Avec collar, double yay. And for me is a more versatile print, anything that works with black is always a winner

How are you keeping warm but looking cool this summer?
