Love this wallpaper...

I wish I could wear this colour.

 It makes me look rather ill. But I love this MARY KATRANTZOU t-shirt

I'm always partial to a sip of champagne..

Need I say more?

Vintage, Charity or Junk?!

I'll admit I'm not the biggest charity shop fan when it comes to clothes, but with her inspiring blogs of nothing but the sort, Vintage Amy has made me look at second hand finds in a new light. 

Today, I found myself wandering (yes I was child free, with time on my hands!) the Gloucester Road in Bristol feeling like I was back in Portobello. I don't often have the time to even explore the delights of recommendations from clients, colleagues and friends, but with my far-too-tall-and-beautiful interior designer friend, Michelle and I found some absolute beauties in junk shops, charity stores and vintage boutiques.

So although I wasn't an avid fan before, I'll certainly head in that direction again for some creative inspiration, eccentric characters, good coffee and rare finds.  

With thanks to Vintage Amy for introducing me to her local vintage-esque charity favourite Clic Sargent (see Vintage Amy's blog a couple of days ago) I found a lovely blouse for £8!

Back to school...

As back to school time looms, I spotted Gap's school wear and this picture which makes me think of the way in which I think my daughter Thea will be styling her school uniform this term!

Taking a break

Just taking a few well earned days break...back soon

If only...

My personal favourite of the Autumn Winter trends not only includes a good old leather jacket, but I'm pulling out the stops with studs too. And this, just tops it off!
