The Summer Slide You Need

I was out shopping on Bond Street with Mumsy over the Bank Holiday weekend (plus ca change); and whilst she was busy trying on every pair of Frame jeans known to womankind- I did the only thing possible to keep my sanity- and wandered off. My meandering (AKA homing pigeon qualities) helped me stumble across a beautiful table of stunningly minimal sandals by the Swedish brand ATPatelier. Naturally I immediately began trying on slides like armageddon was about to hit. I narrowed it down to the classic Rosa sandal, and once Mum had found the Frames of her dreams (and a few other bits) we both made our purchases and happily swanned off. But then (as is the norm with me), the guilt kicked in. I never feel bad about spending big on bags, but where everything else is concerned, I panic. Then I recalled that somewhere I'd seen a verryyyyy good dupe of the ATPs. *Lightbulb Moment* It was Missguided! Of course it was. Enter stage left the sickest £14 dupe you ever did see. Guilt successfully assuaged, the beautiful expensive babies went back (cry face) and the cheap-as-chips hotties are now mine, and on my feet in this very shoot. (You wouldn't have known really, would you?) Catch you soon x

Beyond The Sea

So, yeah, this look is a touch riviera, but that's no bad thing, right?  I can't seem to put down a culotte at the minute or indeed, most things French. (Have you tried the scone in Le Pain Quotidien? It's so off the chain, I just can't). This particular pair of culottes had me at 'bonjour'. They actually come up a little tight and are very much on the high waisted side, but they are well worth a bit of squishing. Get yours here. My sweater is a naughty little Cos purchase. I just die in there, don't you? The men shopping in there are particularly amusing- they're just such fashion geeks. You know- the ones who shop in Liberty and are just so perfectly so. For the record men into fashion do nowt for me- I prefer straight-up ruffnecks and hood rats- but that's a whole 'nother story. Anyroad. These pictures- or indeed my chubby lil' self- do this beaut of a jumper no justice whatsoever. The feel of the fabric is heavenly, as is the cut. I can't actually find it on the website but this is priddy amaze, and I deffo wanna get this too. Catch you soon xx
