Happy feet!

Being almost six months pregnant with my second baby, I am increasingly frustrated as I pour over alluring, colourful Spring/Summer fashion images in magazines. I find myself coveting the most impractical items of clothing for a woman in my condition! Is it the fact that I can't wear these styles of clothing at the moment that is making me want to wear them even more?!

Out of habit, I have been looking for investment buys for Spring/Summer but it is difficult to unless the item is an accessory! I refuse to spend a fortune on maternity wear as it would be a waste of money and it is a risk investing in Spring/Summer clothes as I will have a post baby physique and will not be my body shape/size until I lose the extra baby weight! In the meantime, however, I have decided to cheer myself up with these very cosy Ash "Vanna Aviator" trainers, lined in sheepskin, which I managed to buy half price in the sale. They look lovely with my skinny Topshop maternity jeans and they give me happy feet!

As ever,

Coffee to go please!

Today is a workday and I always try to take the opportunity to dress up a little as I spend the majority of my time living in jeans! I am wearing a khaki bronze silk top by one of my favourite designers Malene Birger; paired with high waisted black tailored trousers by Whistles; my black resin necklace from Whistles that I can't live without and black patent kitten heels from LK Bennett. I just need my morning coffee and then I am all set to go! "Buy! Buy!...Sell! Sell!"

Sneaky sneak preview...

As promised, here are a few of my favourite images from the recent shoot (for my on-line designer dress agency) to whet your appetite...

The above is of a stunning classic navy cashmere coat from Giorgio Armani, teamed with a red patent leather Louis Vuitton bag. All 100% authentic and 100% up for grabs!

This is a beautiful jacket and skirt from Ralph Lauren. Very classic. The buttons of the jacket are jet black diamante and are exquisite. I have matched the jacket with a nude silk Humanoid racer back cami. Wear the jacket separately with skinny jeans, a t-shirt and ballet pumps. Very classic and very gorgeous.

How delicious is this? This jacket is from YSL's Rive Gauche A/W 2003/4 runway collection! Need I say more...?! This purple velvet jacket with lilac silk sash is to die for. I wish I could keep this for myself! Dress it down with jeans or wear over a floaty silk mini dress. Absolutely stunning.

Hope this leaves you hungry for more...! Will let you know when the on-line shop is up and running. Have a lovely weekend!

As ever,

On yer bike!

Hallelujah! Another beautiful hot, summer's day! After a hard day's work and early start, (Bea got me up at 6am!) the idea of unwinding in a beautiful pub garden with a glass of chilled rose was very appealing to say the least. It didn't take much persuasion to convince my friend and colleague, Mikhaila, to go for an after work drink. The Horse Guards in Tillington, West Sussex, has a magical garden tucked away and in it I found a stylish old bicycle and used it as a prop. I was so taken with the garden that I'd like to use it for a photo shoot. 

Today, I am wearing a sheer nude Acne asymmetric sleeveless shirt over a champagne coloured lacey silk slip; layered over skinny black J Brand jeans; my gold Prada sandals and favourite Raybans. Perfect for floating around work... or riding a bike!

As ever,

The sun has got his hat on!

"The sun has got his hat on! Hip hip hip...!" At last, today feels like a summer's day. I don't usually like to get my short, solid legs out but I was so overjoyed to see the sun that I gave in and put on a playsuit!  After a very hectic week, we finally spent the day together as a family. We took the dog for a long walk this morning and then drove up to London and had a very enjoyable afternoon celebrating a friend's birthday lunch in a charming pub garden. Oh happy days! 

By the way, I'd like to introduce you to my daughter Beatrice (mostly known as Bea). As my husband was attempting to take some pictures she clambered up me as she wanted to be snapped too! I am wearing a playsuit from Whistles; a black leather plaited belt from Jigsaw; a gold chain with a french horn from Whistles; Rayban sunglasses and my favourite sandals which are from Prada and come out every summer. (Bea is wearing a floral dress from Cath Kidston and her red Crocs!) 

Long may this lovely weather last...

Strike a pose!

Today I'm wearing...

After an exhausting but exhilarating day styling and shooting outfits for my up and coming on-line shop, I need a little down time today! Yesterday couldn't have gone more smoothly but I feel a sense of relief now that it's over. I can't wait to show you the images and outfits from the shoot and they should be ready for viewing in about a week's time. Items for the shoot included a beautiful Acne shirt; DVF dress; Mike and Chris leather jacket; Issa rabbit fur jacket and Ralph Lauren skirt and jacket.

To be completely honest, after styling all those outfits and seeing an end to such a hectic week, I feel like being a little sloppy today! So, I am wearing a Sandro stripey jersey dress over Topshop skinny jeans, my little Mulberry snakeskin bag and comfy Jigsaw tan wedges and a tired but happy smile!... "Strike a pose..."

As ever,

Today I'm wearing...

Today I'm wearing...

Today, it's still wet and gloomy and all I want to do is feel cosy, stay at home and drink lots of tea but unfortunately I have to go to work! We're almost into July but it feels like April. In fact, in April we were spoilt with glorious sunshine and warmth. The weather seems to be back to front and upside down. Light layers are the perfect answer to today's what-to-wear-dilemma: a cashmere Jigsaw jumper layered over a cream silk lace Jigsaw cami; a pair of Freda leggings as an alternative to jeans (I live in jeans!); my trusty cream quilted leather pumps from Hobbs and an old red Miu Miu leather satchel. "Hi ho! Hi ho! It's off to..."

As ever,
