#GlamorousJuly Week Two

Can you believe we’re pretty much half way through July already? This morning I woke up again to horrible news about what happened last night in Nice and again I felt a little frivolous setting myself a goal to smile at people more today. I mean, does that really help anyone? There is too much

Retro Chick and the Gin Festival

So, this weekend I finally went to the Gin Festival. Do you ever feel like you’re always the last person to know things are happening? I’m pretty sure everyone else always knows about events before I do, and I only ever find out about them when all the tickets are gone, or it’s far too

Summer Weekends and Mexicana Embroidery

I really have the Monday blues today. It’s been such a wonderful weekend. There was gin, and champagne, and Andy Murray won Wimbledon, and today I just really don’t want to return to real life. So I’m going to put it off a bit by sharing photos of this adorable Love Ur Look dress. I

Pink Silk Chiffon and a Torrential Downpour

Todays outfit is one I “rediscovered” almost a year ago. Which also makes it relevant to today’s #GlamorousJuly challenge to wear something “new” from the depths of your wardrobe. Back at the end of July last year I had a dig around in the bottom of my wardrobe and, among other things, found this pink chiffon

This Week I…..

Morning lovely people! How are you today? I’m full of hayfever. Every year the last few weeks of June and the beginning of July are pretty much a living Hayfever Hell for me. This year it hadn’t been too bad at all, and I thought I’d got away with it. But in the last few

The #GlamorousJuly Project

I actually thought about calling off my #GlamorousJuly plans. So many terrible things seem to be happening in the world now, and it just seemed a bit frivolous to be planning a whole month dedicated to bringing a bit of glamour into the world. Then I decided that maybe that was exactly what I, and
