Peacock and Paisley

Outfit: Shirt - Monsoon; Skirt - Primark; Shoes - New Look; Earrings, Scarf - India, 

The pattern on this blouse reminds me of a vintage Liberty print.  Everytime I visit the shop in London I spend ages pouring over the traditional designs adorning everything from shirts to purses to make up bags.  I added a few turquoise accessories to the teal blouse, including a pair of peacock feather earrings that I bought whilst in India.  I love how the various shades of green and blue in the feathers compliment each other so well.

Overly Asymmetrical

Outfit: Dress - flea market, Rome; Belt, Sunglasses - Vintage; Wedges - ebay; Necklace - Primark

One of the highlights from my trip to Italy a few weeks ago was the flea market in Rome.  Despite a 7am start and a seriously long walk, the bargains I took home made it well worth the visit.  This floral dress was one of my 2 euro purchases.  At first I was a little dubious about the exaggerated asymmetrical hem, however when a few inches are added thanks to some stacked wedges it feels a whole lot less frumpy and a lot more fun.  Plus, the neutral florals feel perfect for the last few doses of summer.

Feeling Florals and a Maxi

Outfit: Dress - asos.com; Top - Topshop; Bag - Miss Selfridge; Sunglasses - Vintage; Bracelet - Primark 

Don´t you love it when a root through your wardrobe unearths a great garment that you haven´t worn in years?  For me, that piece is this floral, bat-winged jersey top.  Barely taken out of my drawers in two years, I rediscovered its charm and adaptability and so far have worn it on my summer holidays, out in the evenings and layered with this basic maxi dress. For England´s current state of muggy weather, this lightly layered outfit was ideal.

Pick a Daisy

Outfit: Shorts - H&M, Blouse - Bond, Shoes and Bag - Vintage, Headscarf - Market in India, Sunglasses, Bracelet - Primark

I don't think summer fashion could be summer fashion without the floral print.  Year after year it returns in the collections, in the shops and in the streets.  I picked up these floral daisy shorts in H&M a while ago, drawn to the cute minature print and gathered waist band (infinitely more flattering) and have since paired them with blazers and a multitude of silk tops, this red one being a favourite.

Floaty Floral Frock

Outfit: Dress and bag - old vintage of my mum's, Necklaces - Accessorize

Whenever I get bored of my own wardrobe I go for a rummage in my Mum's. Whilst the clothes she wears now I don't tend to look at , I have found several garments worth their wear from 10 or more years ago. This dress and bag are classic examples - the old floral prints and detailed embroidery are difficult to come across these days, particularly on the high street. There's something I love about finding something unworn for so many years, and breathing new life into it.

Hope you are all enjoying your summers.

Festival Outfit Day 2

Outfit: Denim Jacket- Primark, Shorts- Liberty at Topshop, Vest- H&M, Hairband- Accessorize, Sandals- Vintage, Sunglasses- Paris

On my second day, I opted for some floral prints after I got my hands on these Liberty shorts in the Topshop sale last summer. One of the things I love about festival fashion is the fact that you can wear plenty of hippy inspired accessories without looking like you have stepped out straight out of the 1970's. For mine, a daisy chain inspired hairband (the practical alternative to a real one) and a few red hearts drawn on with lipliner enabled a hint towards a Woodstock attendee.

Festival Outfit Day 1

Outfit: Waistcoat-vintage, Shorts (were jeans)- Primark, Vest- Whistles, Hairband- Accessorize, Long socks- Primark, Necklace- Urban Outfitters, Sunglasses- Paris, Bag- Ryan's Vintage.

As it's the festival time of year, my next couple of posts will feature two of the outfits I wore last year to Leeds festival. The first was incredibly comfy (a necessity) and easy to keep cool in. I found this khaki waistcoat in my dressing up box a few years ago, the farmer/ country look of the item enabled it to adapt perfectly to a weekend in a muddy field.

A boater hat for an English summer's day

Outfit: Dress - asos.com; Shoes- ebay; Hat, Sunglasses Bangles - Primark


Ever since I attended the Cambridge open day last summer and saw several punters sporting the traditional boater hat I have had a great desire to wear one myself. On a shopping trip last week, I came home with seldom two purchases - two straw hats; this one and a wide brimmed version. Whilst I doubt I will put this one to great use, at £3 I can't complain.
