ROMA

I thought I would share a quick lookbook of all the things I’m loving right now and things I have my beady eyes on for Rome! Seriously the shops have came through with spring summer already! So many amazing pieces that I thought would work best in a blog rather than annoying EVERYBODY on my insta stories haha! Hope this gives you guys some inspiration for upcoming holidays, city breaks, festivals etc! Feel free to message me on my INSTAGRAM about any of the products I’ve listed here! Happy shopping! 😌

Return of the… gingham mac!

Hellooo there! After a crazy two weeks of non stop working/depoping/anniversary celebrating/Rome organising I can safely say I’m back! I’m also bringing the Mac along with me…

I always seem to struggle with in-between season outerwear.. I always have. I mean come on winter is easy you just throw a coat and huge scarf on and you’re good to go! Without anyone knowing the terrible clashing of prints and colours you have hidden underneath. When it comes to spring/summer I always find it that bit more difficult. The first question that often comes in to my head is “Shall I wear a jacket?” Followed by if yes “what thickness shall it be?”

As we all know the weather has been a bit crazy the past few weeks after a glorious heatwave it seems to have made a bit of a u turn with rain, rain and more rain! My recent trip to Oxford it poured down but that’s where this outerwear choice came in very handy! The Mac is perfect, they go with pretty much everything you own, they are lightweight so not too hot and it’s just the all round perfect go to in-between season coat! The one seen in the pictures is a depop purchase of mine and a very good one at that! (Thank you Daisy from Coventry – You legend!) I wanted this when it first came out in Topshops S/S17 collection but always seemed to be out of stock. So you can imagine my excitement when I found this gem in my size!!! Unfortunately Topshop no longer sell this item. But I have had a lot of compliments and people asking me where it’s from so I thought I might share a few that I’ve recently found which are very similar and you can still get your hands on! Go have a mooch!

Polka?

It’s April! When I think of April I think of Easter which of course has just happened but also pretty flowers, warmer weather, baby lambs… you get the idea. Not gonna lie it’s been a bit blah and I feel my health has co-ordinated with this. I also want to apologise for the delay in this post as I’ve felt a bit rubbish mentally and physically for most of this week, why? I do not know! Now onto the fun stuff….

Spring is well and truly on its way (weather depending) and I’m right in saying the shops are a wash with all spring goodness right now. Which is great for pre planning holiday and festival outfits… yay! It’s my favourite time of year (after Christmas) One of my favourite forever/timeless/classic prints has to be the versatile polka dot, especially in monochrome. I have been wearing polka dots for aslong as I can remember (thanks Mom!) and I’m pretty certain I’m still going to be rocking this print when I’m dancing around my old people’s home! Polka dots work with any look you want to go with and never go out of fashion, I’m pretty sure I have items that are hidden at the back of my wardrobe which I’ve had since I was a teenager and could still get away with today! Dress up or down, fancy or casual, the trusty polka has your back! Yes I’m fully aware I sound like Miranda Priestly in ‘ The Devil Wears Prada’ but I can’t express how much this print has sustained in my wardrobe!
