Can there be anything prettier than ombre pastels? I just came across this super-sweet short-sleeved ombre pastel jumper at Dorothy Perkins (£28) and love the way it channels the ultra-prettiness of Jonathan Saunders SS12. 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

I’m feeling in the mood for chic prints. On my travels I ended up loving a whole lot … Continue reading Prints Charming
I’ve been meaning to visit the Castlefield artisan market (which is held outside Dukes92 every first Sunday of the month) ever since it started in October, but for one reason or another haven’t had the chance. I’d actually forgotten about it, but having seen something on Twitter this morning I decided on impulse to go … Continue reading Lovely local products at Castlefield artisan market
Today I attended the grand opening of the newly transformed TK Maxx store in Bury (Greater Manchester). I’m already big fan of TK Maxx, particularly for branded shoes and quirky homeware, and it’s my go-to place for unusual food items for creating food hampers to give as gifts. So I couldn’t turn down the chance … Continue reading Revamped TK Maxx store: purchases and wish list!
