dungarees/overalls: primark bretton stripe tee: h&m bag: la moda watch: river island chains: h&m ring: urban outfitters the suitcase is unpacked and I'm an icelandic tourist no longer *sobs* since I'm returning to the task of finishing the house renovations it only seems right to don the painter and decorator attire of denim overalls (no builders bum though I have to draw the line somewhere...) these were a steal from primark and perfect longing attire! once I've caught up I'll pop up some pictures of my time away as I hugely recommend reykjavik as a city break- it's quaint, quirky and I've left a little piece of my heart there!  back soon caroline x shop the look:

dungarees: primark original personal organiser : c/o filofax shirt: vintage rucksack : topshop nike blazers : office eeeeeeep I decided to take part in a challenge this week... a filofax one to be exact! you may have realised I'm a bit of a stationary geek so the opportunity to mix it with fashion was too fun for me to resist! the challenge was to pick a fashion decade to style with my filofax.. I couldn't resist a chance to wear my nerdy new dungarees so I opted for a bit of 90's grunge.. the winner and runners up get to host a filofax giveaway on their blog yipeeee!! (after using mine I knew you guys would love them too, they have so many great features inside from week planners, to do lists, plus fun built in extras like rulers and shopping list pads) if you have a minute and would like to vote you can pop over to their facebook gallery here and simply 'like' my pictures! thanks to those who've voted already! caroline x

it's father days and true to form I'm about to make a frantic dash to the shops for an hour of panic buying! I always struggle with fathers day gifts as pops hates us spending money on him (which makes us want to spoil him all the more) so before I embark on mission 'what to buy dad' a quick outfit post..  this candy coloured number is from karma clothing who've kindly invited me to be involved in their summer look book; the theme was festival ready so I thought it would be the ideal time to wear my flower crown.. yipee!  I umm'd and ahhh'd over what clothes to pick and finally settled on these adorable pink dungarees. I really wasn't sure if they'd suit me; I've tried on loads of dungarees and often find them too tight and short for my liking! these have completely restored my faith in dungarees shorts and playsuits, hallelujah!!! the cotton is really light and wearable, perfect for daytime, I'm glad I opted for pink as it's not a colou...

oh man, another dungaree-esque look I hear you say..  hell yeah sorry I love 'em. boy oh boy you wont believe how impressed I am with this dress from karma clothing ! my favourite shade of denim, it fits an absolute treat and is astoundingly affordable at the jaw dropping price of £12. I kid you not folks, grab one before they go, their website is full of little bargains! I love the super simple combination of white and denim, for me it goes hand in hand like tea and toast, easy. I also decided to embrace a little silver jewellery for a change, I snagged the necklaces in new look and bought a few bangles in primark to top off the cheap and cheerful accessories.  the other item I'm doing a little happy dance about are my gorgeous new shoes from chatham marine ! I have the most annoying feet; after 20 minutes of walking I guarantee most footwear will give me horrendous blisters (occasionally it has it's perks, it's the ideal excuse for avoiding exercise if I'm feeling...

every month there's one item I decide is completely logical/utterly necessary for me to buy; this month it was this topshop denim pini dress. at the minute I'm obsessed with 90's dungaree-esque attire & I harbour a secret love of buttons so this dress ticked a few 'I must own you' boxes. I've tried on a few versions of these pinafores but I loved the loose and slouchy fit of this one, perfect lounging attire! my love of western fringing continues too, today with this gorgeous la moda  boho messenger bag (this is my new go-to festival bag for 2013) chic yet laid back; my favourite combination!  today I've been in london working on a very exciting project that I'll share with you soon (promise!) I'm looking forward to getting home and pouring one giant bubble bath to rest my achey-breaky feet! demin pinafore dress:  topshop stripe tee: vintage similar  here summer bag: c/o  la moda  (other colours available) hat: h&m  triangle necklace: urban o...
