Friday Frock Love – Summer Time

I was planning on writing something deep and meaningful today. But my words wouldn’t come out right, and anyway the sun is shining. So I thought maybe I’ll save the deep and meaningfuls for another day, and today we can all just look at pretty frocks to wear in the sunshine. Summer just seems like

Tea Pigs Matcha Tea Review & Giveaway

Well, it’s taken me a while to get this up, but at least that means I’ve given Matcha Tea a proper try before telling you about it! Tea Pigs are one of my favourite places to buy whole leaf teas. I’m a huge peppermint tea drinker, and a few years ago in Germany I found

Novelty Prints and Summer Frocks

Today I may be suffering from the curse of the scheduled post. I’m taking a few days off over my birthday, so today’s post is actually an outfit from a few weeks ago. Taken in blazing sunshine on a little jaunt down by the river. When I actually wrote the post I was watching rain

My Top 5 Casual Flats

I’m a big fan of shoes. In my head I dream I’m the sort of person who wears 6″ stilettos every day. In my head I’m also about 6 foot tall and willowy as a gazelle with shiny hair that’s always “just so” and am being picked up by my chauffeur from lunch at whatever

Recently I was contacted by Holland and Barratt to take part in a buddies campaign where we’d be given a budget to buy some goodies for a partner to try out. I like this kind of thing, I love the chance to try and find out about people and pick things that they’ll love, so
