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
Time goes so quickly! It seems only yesterday we first entered March, and now we're at the end, basking in the glorious weather which may (or may not) be our English summertime! I really hope there's plenty more to come though! Here are some snaps I have gathered during March. From the top.. The first wonderful flowers … Continue reading Memories of March

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

I’m feeling in the mood for chic prints. On my travels I ended up loving a whole lot … Continue reading Prints Charming
