Oh Dorothy!
June 4, 2008 · 2 Comments
I went to Dorothy Perkins today, mainly to sneer at the ugly green sun dresses they had in the window display. But to my astonishment I actually came back out with a lovely new heart print blouse and black Chanel-a-like bag. That will teach me!

A country wedding
June 2, 2008 · 1 Comment
I went to my friend’s wedding last weekend. The bride looked beautiful in a tailor-made wedding dress, the weather held up and I got to catch up with college friends I hadn’t seen in years.
The outfit of the day has got to go to Tamzin, who looked stunning in a vintage blue cocktail dress from Beyond Retro near Brick Lane. How amazing are her pink shoes and matching flower?
Blue was definitely the colour to be in!

The Blues
April 26, 2008 · No Comments
I do apologize for another outfit post…I ended up in Topshop today to spend some of the voucher I got at as a leaving present from my old job. After trying on tons of flower stuff that all looked way too frumpy, I eventually settled on a blue pleat dress and navy themed underwear. Nautical is a huge thing at Topshop right now, as well as Americana, but to be honest, I am really over stars, it’s been done to death.

Spring chicken
April 26, 2008 · No Comments
Today was the first real spring day. The sun was out, and I just basically decided by peering out of the window that I would dress for a warm summer’s day.
As a result I put on my 1950s full skirt by Marcelo Sommer that I had bought in Brazil a few years ago. I wore it with the white H&M top that I’d bought in Zurich and my new Faith platform sandals.

Retail therapy

I woke up this morning feeling decidedly ugly and not quite myself. Nothing in my wardrobe could lift my spirit so I went for comfort and put on a black H&M dress and my new bow jumper from Topshop.
There is only one thing that can turn an ugly-day around: shopping. A few hours, coffee with my friend Leticia and quality time spend looking around shops in Holloway (yes, Holloway) later and I returned home happily clutching
a) a new pair of great platform sandals from Faith
b) chocolates and sparkling wine from M&S
I readily admit, I feel quite the little woman for indulging in such stereotypical femininity as shopping and chocolates but hey, sometimes it is fun to ravel in clichés.
