Blooming Blazer

As soon as I saw this blazer I knew it would look fab teamed with a simple tee and mid wash boyfriend jeans with turn ups

For a casual look I'll wear a cute pair of flats

Mardisling from Dune

Or jazz it up with some metallic pumps

Hope you all had a lovely bank holiday?

Botanical Beauty

I first spotted this dress on the lovely Anneli (here) so when I was in Zara I decided to check it out for myself

This dress falls in the throw on and your good to go department which takes all the stress out of holiday packing so I couldn't resist

Printed Shift Dress

Happy Friday everyone

Atomic Tangerine

I got this fluro orange dress at the weekend to wear on our upcoming holiday

Crepe Tee Shift Dress from Topshop

It will look great with this necklace which I've been wearing recently with my red tee (here)

Shard Necklace from Topshop

I love the black zip pull detail on the back so I'll wear simple black heels to pull it altogether

Basic Sandal With Ankle Strap from Zara

Are you braving brights this summer?

Floral Frenzy

I bought this top from Zara last week and love the simple shape with the statement print

I'll clash it with another statement piece, love this necklace from Topshop

And keep the rest simple, my faithful black coated skinnies, favourite heels and new clutch

Hope you all had a good weekend?

Sandy Toes & Salty Kisses

Summer is definitely my favourite time of year

Sun kissed skin, pretty shoes and barbecues are the little things that make me smile but it's got to be the feel good factor that sweeps the nation and the holiday buzz that I love the most

Last year I moved into my flat so I didn't have the time, inclination or readies to go away but this summer I'm back on that jet plane. Yep, me and the Mr have booked a holiday and I'm super excited to get some quality time away with my beloved. And of course I'm already thinking about my holiday wardrobe, starting with beach attire...

Acid Mari Tote from Accessorize

This bold tote will double up as my flight/beach bag, it's roomy enough to stash all of my essentials and the colour is perfect for poolside

Kindle Cover by Diane Von Furstenberg

I do love a good book but you just can't beat a Kindle when travelling. I bought this super stylish cover for my Kindle a few years ago, love the hot pink inside

Ray Ban Cats 5000 from Sunglass Hut

I normally buy a new pair of sunglasses every year but I bought these last year and love them so  they'll be adorning my face again this summer

Bandeau Bikini from Melissa Odabash

This bikini is rather darn expensive but I have to say it is the only bikini that I really feel comfortable in, which is quite important when you're wearing next to nothing in public! It's super soft, extremely flattering and washes up like new so over the years I have stocked up on different colours, and this year I am deliberating over a yellow diamond print or a breton stripe

Dip Dye Sundress from Topshop, Fringed Kaftan from Topshop (old),
Dip Hem Tunic from Matalan, Fringed Sandals from New Look

When it comes to cover ups I don't like to over think things, these three pieces are easy to throw on and give that laid back look that I like

Paper Straw Trilby from Accessorize (old)

And I'll top it all off with a trilby for when I haven't quite nailed the coveted beach hair look

What's your top beach beauty tips?

It's A Haven For Bohemian Free Spirits

Sorry for the lack of posts peeps, we've been caught up in wedding plans, christenings and family stuff, all crazy and fun times :)

Anyways, here's a little purchase I picked up this weekend

The folklore style jackets that we're seeing everywhere at the moment are right up my street so I've been keeping an eye out for one that works for me

Mathilde Print Jacket from Monsoon

I love this one, mainly because it has three predominant colours; ivory, red and blue, this simple colour combo teams perfectly with my summer uniform of white tees and (blue) denim skinnies

I also love that the metallic embroidery detail is silver and gold

To finish my boho look...

Missouri Suede Moccasin from Topshop

And for when I'm feeling less boho, the trusty converse...

Hope you all had a great bank holiday weekend

So Far, This Is The Oldest I've Ever Been

It was my birthday last Thursday and I've had such an amazing few days...

The lovely boyfriend whisked me off to The Crazy Bear in Stadhampton (here)

Doesn't look so crazy from the outside right? Wrong!

Loved the double-decker reception bus

This gnarly old fella greeted us

After checking in we went to the cosy little bar for a glass of birthday bubbly and that's when...

(drum roll)

My boyfriend proposed to me 

I can't begin to explain how happy that moment has made me, I am currently residing on cloud nine. It was a very special and perfect proposal. And after some happy tears and some excited phone calls to our families, we managed to compose ourselves enough to get ready for dinner

Unbeknown to me, my boyfriend fiance had also arranged an upgrade (the boy is so damn good)

Chesterfield chairs

Chopped logs (love stating the obvious)

Huge old jukebox (and again!)

Bedroom ceiling (of course)

We had a quick cocktail in the bar and then onto dinner in the Thai restaurant. The food was very good, but our eyes were too big for our tummies and the portions were very generous. After our meal we had one last celebratory cocktail in the bar, the perfect finish to an absolutely perfect day :)))

Yummy Thai bellinis

Everyone needs an elephant ice bucket in their lives

After a leisurely breakfast the next day we wandered up to the farm shop and picked up some tasty treats to take home, before returning for afternoon tea

White leather

Chandaliers

And wine bottles on the ceiling (empty I might add)

Sadly we had to leave but we were excited to get home and celebrate with our families

To top it all off, I got some lovely birthday presents. I got Ortigia Sicilia Finco d'India perfume (here) from the Mr and lots of John Lewis vouchers (going towards the furniture fund!) from my family and my fiance's parents 

Big hugs and kisses to my fiance, our families and friends for making my birthday and our engagement so very special
