Growing Up

With just days left in Brighton before I “officially” move the majority of my possessions back to Surrey, I’m trying to make the most of living in such a beautiful place, by the sea and with so many boutique shops and places to eat. Having finished my degree (eek!) last week however, [...]

Dress Tartan

A few weeks ago my friend and I spent a day walking all over Brighton followed by the lovely guys at Shuffle as part of the new campaign by Barbour for their timeless new Dress Tartan collection! When I received an email from Sarah at Barbour even longer ago, I couldn’t quite [...]

Stripes and Wanderlust

With the British weather teasing us with some sun and a warmer temperature here and there, you can forgive me for willing the warmth to come with a pretty stripy summery dress from InLoveWithFashion! Layered under a (much warmer) cropped jumper certainly makes the dress seem more appropriate for February, though. I’m [...]

Brighton Vintage Fair

On Sunday I finally got to visit the Brighton Vintage Fair at the Corn Exchange, a Sunday event I’d somehow managed never to be in Brighton for until now! It isn’t a weekly occurrence, so it feels all the more special (and impulsive, if you have your eye on a few things!) than the [...]

Walking With Swans

Okay, so I’m not actually walking with swans, but it kindof makes sense when I’m wearing swan print shorts and walking around… These shorts were a very lovely gift from Carrie, and I can see myself teaming them with a white shirt and bare legs when the weather gets warmer. For now though, they’ll [...]

New Favourite Thing

I think I’ve found my NFT (new favourite thing…is that a thing?) in this black pinafore jumpsuit from Topshop! After seeing a nice pair of dungarees and a wool-y jumpsuit on the website, I was waiting, and hoping, for something a little more fitted with a nicer front and a cross back. And [...]

A Dahlia, A Diary & Dearest Deer

I wasn’t quite prepared for the cold in this outfit, you might be able to tell from the cold-bitten hands and ankles! But for a brisk walk by the river in Kingston, my body quickly got used to the near-freezing temperatures. I’m wearing a very delicate blouse by Dahlia, a brand that [...]

Seeing Red On Columbia Road

If you know about the (seemingly infamous) Columbia Road flower market, you might have expected a few more shots of the beautiful array of flowers there is to offer! But as it had been many weeks since my last day trip to London, I enjoyed soaking up “London-y [...]

The Railway Children

Hello 2013! As this is my first post of the new year, I wish you a belated happy new year! I spent mine at Daryl’s parents house, enjoying very nice tasting Nespresso coffee, dreaming of owning my own machine so I can have nice coffee at home, and eating lots of bread and [...]

The Little Deer

I don’t know about you, but I like me a pretty dress or two, yet never seem to break my ‘comfort zone’: sleeves, a fitted waist and a loose/shift-y bottom. And having the figure of a plain chocolate bar/celery stick/lamppost/ruler etcetc means I need a little swishy bottom to give me some shape! So [...]
