It's that time of year when wedding guests stress about what they'll wear - and although many of us ladies often go for pretty summer dresses, I'm here to say it's all about separates right now. Although it may seem far easier to pick out a dress - it's just one item after all - versatile separates … Continue reading Summer Wedding Separates
On Saturday I had to get up at the crack of dawn (not literally but it definitely felt like it) to take my car into the garage. And even though it felt like a struggle to get out of bed so early on my precious weekend, I ended up loving the extra hours that I … Continue reading Time Well Spent
There are so many cute summer things out there right now. I mean, just look at those Emoji rings that Rock n Rose launched this week - they're quirky, yet still subtle enough to be wearable every day. Definitely one for the wishlist! And don't get me started on my dream one-piece swimsuit from Primark. I … Continue reading Cute Things for Summer
Behold - my first shorts outing of summer! I cannot believe how amazing the weather was last week - it even took the pain away from the lack of Metrolink we've got going on right now. There are worse things than a walk across Manchester centre in the glorious sunshine, right?! Here's hoping for some more of that … Continue reading Denim and Lace

If you're not familiar with Hobbs, it's a high-end brand selling classic occasionwear and timeless daytime pieces. Nothing … Continue reading Hobbs Pop-up Store Opens in Manchester
This is my new favourite weekend casual look - a bit of statement monochrome with this geo print... (is it a cardigan? It's called a cardigan but it doesn't feel like one) paired with palest blush pink, the perfect spring shade. What's great is that it's the comfiest outfit ever thanks to these acid wash … Continue reading Geo Print Monochrome and Blush Pink Layers
On Saturday the sun was shining around Manchester so it seemed like a perfect opportunity for a walk around Salford Quays. I’m glad we made the most of it while it lasted as Sunday was a bit of a washout, and even though it was actually quite blustery I still got chance to do some outfit … Continue reading A Waterside Walk in New Sandals
This weekend I ended up doing quite a bit of shopping (seems to be an Easter tradition of mine), so even though "haul posts" aren't something I usually do, this weekend really seemed to call for one. Here's what I've been buying... These rose gold sandals from Dolcis were on my wishlist at the end of … Continue reading Sneak Peeks of My Easter Shopping

Simply swipe left to pass by and swipe right to add items you like to your wishlist. It’s like speed shopping, and I think it’s perfect … Continue reading Handpicked – a New Fashion App
