jumper: h&m bambi print skirt: c/o brat and suzie belt: american apparel ashleigh boots: topshop chunky gold necklace: topshop suzan backback: c/o la moda I love somethings about winter.. open fires, hot drinks, snuggling under my duvet.  attempting to take outfit pictures in rain, darkness or gale force winds urmm not quite so much aha! however today I woke up to sunny skies and beautiful weather..  yippee! mild weather means I'm snatching the last chance for bare legs.. my skirt is from east london duo brat and suzie who have the most adorable range of animal motif clothing (any combination of pencil skirt with bambi print is a winner in my book) they're bringing some exclusive pieces to ASOS soon so keep your eyes peeled! the pink fluffy number is an old h&m purchase that I love to pull out on in-between days as it's soft and cosy without feeling too bulky... I've worn my topshop backpack into the ground this summer so I was long overdue due an upgrade; th...

lemon knitted top: vintage flower skater skirt: c/o rebel rebel t-bar geek shoes: topshop oversized white bag: la moda you have guessed from my twitter rants about the claims of 'one coat' paint (..IT STILL NEEDS TWO COATS DAMMIT) I'm still renovating my house.  it's not all decorating dramas though because this little daisy skater skirt from rebel rebel made it's way through my postbox and brightened my day! I love bold prints and this is such a dinky little number and quite the bargain at £15! in fact their entire range is seriously affordable.. I'm eyeing up some of their new arrivals with intent (hello £8 tartan pencil skirt!) I like having little skirts to layer up with jumpers and tights when the weather gets a bit nippy; as much as I don't want the summer to end LFW chatter has reminded me autumn is a-comin' yikes! surprisingly I had no idea what to wear it with (despite a wardrobe bursting at the seams, yes it seems I've turned into a compl...

unicorn print dress.. life complete! I don't know if it's my inner child taking over but this dress is so adorable! I want to dust of my collection of my little ponies and have a play date immediately.. any takers?  the dress is by lashes  of london; I'm sure many of you will already be regular fans of their clothes but this is from their lashes edit - a new capsule collection for topshop that's full of super cute & flirty items (this amazing little unicorn print also comes as a pair of little shorts which are ridiculously dinky!) I thought I'd wear my nike blazers as this outfit felt quite fun and I wanted to put a casual spin on the dress (which could easily be a night out number with heels) so I  added my denim jacket as well for a more relaxed daytime look.   unico fluro contrast dress: c/o  lashes of london bowler hat: h&m clutch: primark ice cream necklace: c/o  chelsea doll nike blazers: office watch: american apparel well I'm off t...

I love prints.. especially of the palm tree variety! two minutes after opening this meemee  dress, I was on a beach, mojito in hand ready for my summer holiday (you can't blame a girl for dreaming...) as soon as the rain makes itself scarce this little beauty is going to be a staple in my sunny day dress collection. they have some really nice items in at the minute, this lace  playsuit  is  already making my debit card nervous so if you haven't added them to your shopping bookmarks you should. you may notice my new hat; this topshop fedora has been on my wishlist for about two months (yep I caved, I'm weak) now I can pretend to be indiana jones from the comfort of my own bedroom... that's my weekend plans sorted. the belt is from forever 21 and is a really good dupe of the urban outfitters versions so I figured I was saving myself some money with this purchase...wink. sugarhill boutique tropical seas dress: c/o  meemee fedora:  topshop belt: forever 21...

hurrah the sun is out.. about time you little rascal! I can't remember the last time I was so ridiculously excited to put on a dress.. sweet jesus the extended winter has ruined me. I do have a real soft spot for my new peachy number! super loose, laid back and no worrying about sharing my rear with passers by (always a bonus) as it's fairly long and demure. I've always loved smock dresses so one look at the asos website and it was game over for my inner hippy and I.  it doesn't look as floaty in these pictures but trust me it's quite swingy (is that even a word?) and over sized at the waist when you try it on! perfect if you've just ordered yourself a large pizza.. who me? nepi smock dress:  asos necklace:  topshop denim jacket: forever 21 satchel: topshop (old) boots: office back soon! caroline x

oh my, I'm in love with sandals and socks.  who am I and when did this happen...? confession, I've been hoarding frilly socks for months. I blame my enthusiasm for wearing them at every opportunity for my latest fashion crush. I'll look back at this picture when I'm 40 and wonder what head trauma I must have suffered to have pulled a sock/sandal combo but for now I'm loving it -older wiser me be dammed. whilst we're on the subject of crushes, I spotted this navy skirt in primark complete with pockets (my saviours as they keep my hands from fidgeting!) before I knew it I was officially the owner of yet another  piece of heart print clothing, it's a hard habit to shake folks.  fingers crossed the weather stays nice; I have a lot more novelty socks and ice creams to get through! not for ponies cat face tee: (old)  the little deer   navy heart print skirt: primark lion head belt:  urban outfitters bag: h&m sandals: topshop socks: 3 for £8 at...

yep, still harbouring a crush on dungaree style dresses. they're just so darn easy to wear; I only have to decide what tee to wear underneath and I have an instant outfit.. simples. even better in the summer when this looser style will be perfect for beer garden lounging (ahhh beer gardens how I've missed you!)  I'm hoping this is going to be the last time you see me wearing 1000 denier tights, I've made a decision to burn them all in one huge lycra fulled bonfire at the first opportunity. denim pini dress:  topshop stripe crop top: vintage hat: h&m leather satchel: topshop (old) necklace: topshop watch:  american apparel boots: office before I head off to tuck into a roast chicken dinner (with proper gravy.. exciting shizz) I stumbled across some snaps from the flea market we visited in new york; I thought I'd pop them in as it's got me all of a flutter at the prospect of car booting in the summer, huzzah!  anyone else out there a car boot fan? I've fou...

quick outfit post today! this is actually one I wore while I was away, I thought I'd best share it before the summer when pictures of me sporting a woolly hat led you to question my sanity! this is my usual wet day get up, enough layers to qualify as a walking onion & a hat to stop my hair from resembling an 80's perm. I think I look slightly like a hobo in this outfit, but dammit it was comfy. the weather is due to be glorious tomorrow; I've been raiding the depths of my wardrobe to resurrect long neglected summer dresses... hip hip hurray! I'm even splashing out on some fake tan this evening (somebody stop me I'm going wild..) hat: topman navy boyfriend coat: primark yellow check scarf: h&m watch:  american apparel pink mohair jumper: h&m (ss12) jeans: topshop baxter racoon print shirt: asos heart collar clips: c/o  chelsea doll leather satchel: topshop boots: office I'm best be off as I have my niece and nephew visiting.

I'm baaaaack!  I wish I could have stayed in new york but it's always nice to be reunited with my bed and proper cups of tea! I thought I should take some outfit photos whilst I was away (in between eating too many pancakes, squealing at every yellow taxi and generally being as excited as a 5yr old in a sweet shop) I'll pop them up over the next few weeks (it makes a nice change to have some outdoor photos again hurrah!)  well the first day was sunny but a little bit chilly so I layered up like a snowman (this was a reoccurring theme!) I wore one of my old vintage denim shirts, my fave urban outfitters sweater and my go-to topshop leigh jeans.  my boohoo faur fur is my absolute favourite coat this year so it had to come along for the trip too. I love it's vintage fit and style and it's pretty much like wearing a hug all day long!  after a few hours of sight seeing in midtown we made it to the famous shake shack  and well... complete gluttony ensued! if you're pl...
