OUTFIT: SHADES OF GREY

Look of the day. Mixing a palette of taupe and heathery greys for a cool and simple spring look!

MY ESSENTIALS: KENT HAIRBRUSH

 

One thing I can't live without is my little KENT boar bristle hairbrush. It's so dinky - I can even fit it in my pocket or the smallest of bags on an evening out. It's perfect for breezy days and lazy mornings!

What would you hate to live without?

OUTFIT: LUCY'S JACKET

My friend Lucy owns the perfect leather jacket. I mean perfect. I found it very hard to return this to her! So typical, I find the right one after all these years - and someone else already owns it!

LE WEEKEND: #1

OUTFIT: THE FIRST SUN

In this perfect weather we've had the last few days I've been wearing jeans, a light tee, and a pair of sandals - a sort of half-way house before introducing skirts and shorts into my summer wardrobe.

FOOD: BURGER APPRECIATION

Burgers are totally trending guys! Do you know what I mean? They're as photogenic as they are delicious - God forbid you eat a burger without instagraming it first, right?! Gourmet burgers are getting more and more extravagant; jammed with all sorts of delicious fillings, and stacked so high we aren't sure how to eat them. It's a little silly, but hey, who cares when they taste so good!

I thought I'd share the pictures of some burgers I made the other night. They're super easy to make - apparently you can put just about anything in a burger. I used what we had to hand: two types of cheese (Gruyere and Cheddar, which you melt under the grill once the patties are cooked), beetroot, carrot, tomato, spring onion, lettuce, spicy tomato chutney, and a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise. Perfect!

SHOES: THE STILETTO

 

 Every girl should own a pair of classic stiletto heels. They look so beautiful paired with ankle grazing trousers.  

My top 3 pics:

1. Christian Louboutin Batignolles pumps.

WARDROBE PLANNING: SPRING '13

Spring seems to me to be the girliest of the months - feminine, gentle and light. And after weeks spent in rough jeans, long boots, and yards of scarves, who doesn't feel refreshed at the thought of light clothes, fresh scents, and a more girlish wardrobe? I've been making some spring inspiration collages, and thought I'd share them (above) as I begin to plan my spring wardrobe.

It's been a long time coming, but it seems the warmer weather is finally arriving in England. The practical side of me always chooses to invest in winter clothes: coats, ankle boots, jumpers, and so on, and I've never put much effort into cultivating a spring/summer wardrobe, but this year I'm determined to make a little bit more of an effort, and finally start making small steps towards owning more season appropriate clothes.
