Happy St Patricks Day

Happy St Patricks Day! Today is the day that has MOST successfully been completely hi-jacked by a single multi national corporation to promote it’s own products. Hurrah!

The Day the Sun Shone.

Today the sky is grey and boring, but yesterday it was a beautiful clear blue. It was also freeeeeezing. So sunglasses and my massive furry coat were the order of the day. A combination that always makes me feel a little bit movie star. I also layered up, adding warmth by wearing a black pinafore

Friday Fair Trade Frock Love

Fair Trade Fortnight comes to an end on Sunday, so I thought I’d see it out with some Fair Trade Frock Love. Unlike previous Friday Frocks these dresses are all from different Fair Trade retailers. They are all utterly gorgeous, with the added bonus that you don’t have to worry that some poor child in
