Spring!

These are a few of the goodies I am coveting now it's time to shrug off a some dark layers. Absolutely love the entire TBA spring collection but my favourite is this super cute bow collared floral dress, especially when paired with the matching loose blazer. These House of Harlow boots are cheating a little bit as they've been around a while and I got them as a present the other day but I'm still stickin 'em in as my spring shoe! Accessories maketh the outfit and my top two are this cute Daisy Chakra bracelet and classic McQueen scarf in fresh colours. Finally, rosy, Elizabeth Bennett style complexion to be achieved with Dermalogica ultracalming toner and Chantecaille blush.

Guatemala Style...

Finally I have Guatemala pics to share! An amazingly beautiful country, if a bit of a culture shock and in true backpacking style we experienced some of the less glamorous lodgings in Central America. But I was also very lucky to be treated to a few days at La Lancha, a hotel owned by Frances Ford Coppola. We took a 40 minute boat to the private beach and tucked away in dense rain forest was this beautiful retreat. A blissful way to while away a couple of days...

Shiny and New

Here are some small things I have aquired recently that make my world a happier, prettier place.

 

Beautiful Stella McCartney underwear, Fifi Lapin's What Shall I Wear Today, BRITNEY POP, Coziest Gap socks and blue and white floral huggies.

The Sound of Summer

I'm onto my fourth festival in as many weeks and spending every weekend in a field is actually quite exhausting. I've also managed to see a piss poor amount of music considering what was on offer to me due to the lure of many a hospitality area bar. However, I still have Field Day and Standon Calling coming up so I am going to attempt to rectify that situation. One band who I was determined to see at Latitude was Dirty Projectors (and I know it's the title of my last blog post but this song is still the soundtrack to this summer for me and it's phenomenal live). Enjoy Stillness Is The Move...

Stillness Is The Move - Woodland Walks and Hazy Days

Sunny and cold, halfway to summer weather, ish. Time to see what's doing in the woods, feel alive in the biting cold sea breeze (above is Minehead) and replace thick winter layers with possibly over-optimistic thin ones.

I have a super duper holiday planned to Guatemala and Miami in a few weeks which I am frantically planning for. I absoultely cannot wait to feel some foreign sun and experience some totally new cultures. I'm in a whirl of day dreams envisaging exotic jungle scenery and Mayan ruins whilst simutaneously having very shallow thoughts about lazing around watching the beautiful people on South Beach. 

The Gentlewoman

I was slightly dubious at first to see The Gentlewoman in my local W H Smith. Canterbury chain stores and exciting new fashion magazines don't exactly go hand in hand. Oh how pleasantly surprised I was to discover that it is AMAZING. Beautiful, chic, interesting and relevant (plus the wonderful Pheobe Philo as it's first cover star) it is everything a modern girl could want for a few hours of fashion escapism.
