Jumpsuits: The Sartorial Saviour

Jumpsuits: The Sartorial Saviour

For me jumpsuits are a real wardrobe saviour, super convenient and low maintenance but chic and sophisticated at the same time. They are perfect for those days where you don’t have time to put a whole outfit together but you still want to look good and to be honest those day are more common than not for me. As well as their easy, breezy nature I also love how the jumpsuit transcend any particular seasons and can be easily worn throughout the year, you’ve got lightweight linen for summer, with short sleeves or straps and in winter you can’t beat…

Florals? For Spring?

Florals? For Spring?

Aubi Floral Maxi Florals? For Spring? …Hell yeah! What says spring more than the sight of flowers blossoming and blue skies melting away the perpetual greyness of winter? Florals and prints are synonymous with this time of year and whats more, they are the perfect way to introduce some colour and freshness into your wardrobe palette. With that in mind I’ve styled some pieces from French Connection’s beautiful new season collection as I start to think about warmer climes and outfit plan for weddings, holidays and special events i’ve got over the next few months. Ok so firstly, I’m such…

So this is 30

So this is 30

When I was in my early to mid-20s the thought of turning 30 terrified me. It felt like a mythical far-away age that meant real adulthood and responsibility that I wasn’t ready for. Then when I reached about 28, something strange happened; instead of dreading getting older I started to look forward to it. I became less scared and more confident, with each year I progressed nearer to it and further away from my 20s I grew more into myself. Sure, my 20s were fun, I did some great things and I screwed up plenty of others, I had highs,…

Not Just For Christmas

Not Just For Christmas

Sparkly Jumpsuit: Warehouse Velvet Dress: Warehouse The festive season can be very overwhelming when it comes to both shopping and dressing. With a series of Christmas dinners, parties and weddings and not to mention all the cyber weekend deals left right and centre you can easily end up spending a small fortune on silky, sparkly velvet numbers that will likely only get one wear. This year i’ve tried to start shopping a bit more responsibly and when I get temped to buy something I ask myself; do I really love it? Can I see it styled it lots of different…

The Charm of Southern Sicily

The Charm of Southern Sicily

From Palermo we hired a car and made the 4 hour journey down to the southern tip of Sicily. Driving is essential to exploring the south of Sicily, however, it’s a very unique experience.. I’ve driven in Europe countless times, including France, Spain and Italy, but Sicily was another level of madness! I felt like I’d gone back in time; to say there is no such thing as ‘give way’ would be an understatement, in fact, it was more like ‘just go’. Saying that, i did get used to it after a couple of days and if you’re planning on…
