What on earth is going on with the weather? This time last week I was basically wearing shorts! Now in Manchester I’m wrapping up warm and even seeing specks of snow in the air! Even so, I’m all about the spring/summer clothes now (there’s no going back), and when I saw this pair of rainbow … Continue reading The rainbow connection

Striped skirt - Primark; vest - H&M; sunglasses - Fossil; rainbow necklace - ASOS (old); gold metallic pumps - New Look; yellow bag - Wallis (old) Sporty is a difficult look.

Miss Selfridge is not usually one of my frequent destinations - I’m not really sure why, but when I go there it’s usually because I’ve just “ended up” there. And when I “ended up” there today I came across this gorgeous DESIGNED BY collection – an exclusive premium capsule collection featuring beautiful digi prints. Sadly, … Continue reading The outfit I couldn’t afford today…
A headline “On The Gossip Girl Set: all the fab fashion moments” can only mean an unproductive afternoon. I’m loving these photos from the set of Gossip Girl that were published on Look.co.uk today. I only recently watched Gossip Girl for the first time, courtesy of a friend’s box set, and although it falls into the … Continue reading Gossip Girl style: print skirts with casual tops

The styling opportunities are endless with this sugary piece... (Jonathan Saunders SS12)
On Saturday night I partied the night away at a Spring Ball with the "amdram" lot. Basically this involves nice food, pretty dresses, great company and dancing (to cheese and to some tunes that regular people have probably never heard of!). I wore this emerald green mini dress from ASOS (fairly old now) which has … Continue reading Outfit post: Spring sparkle
My label of the day today is Danish brand Vero Moda. Their wide range of more unusual prints attracted my attention (I’ve just bought the leaf-print shirt dress from ASOS and am pining after the flamingo tee to wear with lemon skinny jeans), but I’m also loving their colourful sporty pieces, which will be perfect … Continue reading Label of the day: Vero Moda
After all the excitement of Marni at H&M today (I managed to get myself one of the funky bracelets, but lost out on a pretty printed dress because it was snatched from my basket – the scoundrel!) I’m feeling in the mood for chic prints. On my travels I ended up loving a whole lot … Continue reading Prints Charming
