Cute fashion accessories I’m craving this summer
The sun’s out – and with it came the sundresses and strappy sandals. I’ve ambitiously looked at my dresses over the last few weeks, but even if I’ve slipped one on I’ve ended up reverting to rolled-up jeans by lunch time. Just now warm enough. But today – hooray – the sun is out, and set to stay. And of course, as soon as the flappy skirts make an appearance, you start needing new pretty...
Wedding Flip Flops, Madam? Why Yes. Yes Please.
I know, the wedding day is the day you get to pull out our ridiculously lovely, impossibly high heeled and foolishly impractical little bits of beauty for your feet. You slip your toes into them and feel instantly gorgeous, right? Of course. But fast forward a few hours, through the ceremony and the canapés and the standing and chatting and you start to feel just a little less so. You get tired of trying to stop your heels sinking...
Fabulous Duvet Slippers (yes really) under £5!
I know, I know. They’re duvet slippers and they’re ugly. They are. BUT. They’re duvets! For your FEET! Now I know for a fact that any of you fellow cold-feet-sufferers have just done a double take and oooh-ed excitedly. Oh yes. Because we cold-feet-sufferers know full well that in the quest for warmth, looks will just slide down the priority scale a little. I have a pair of these babies, and I can firmly assure you that they are...
Gorgeous Holiday Dresses – sale at JD WIlliams!
Just back from a completely fabulous short city break in Bordeaux, I was reminded again about the winder of The Dress. Summer Holiday Dresses in particular. I rather fell out of love with dresses in my teens – skirts were okay at a need-to-dress-up push, but dresses? No way. The trouble is I’m an odd shape – 6′ tall, but with ‘normal’ legs and a lo-o-oong back, which means a dress never ever sits...
Gorgeous Spring Bright Flip Flops – are your toes out yet?
When the sunshine finally starts washing through the air, I find I instinctively recoil at the sight of my trusty old winter footwear. The Converse are okay, obviously (it’s never NOT the season for Converse, is it?), but those big ole boots and heavy leather shoes? NO, thank you. All of a sudden I want to get my toes out. I mean – what’s more happy-making then just being able to shove your feet in a pair of...
Spotted! Tiny Oil Enamel Cherry Blossoms Miniature Locket
Isn’t it pretty? I just love it. Found over on Etsy in Khara Ledonne’s shop, I was completely wooed by this gloriously tiny little springtime scene. The hand-painted miniature locket is a spring-fresh scene of cherry blossoms on branches extending over a subtle mountain background. The image is painted directly onto the locket faces (no glued paper that will peel up) in durable oil enamel that will last generations. Each...
