Saturday AM Coffee

After having a dark berry mocha frappuchino in London a few weeks ago, I was drooling for another one. Hubby hadn't tried it, so the two of us went to the nearest Starbucks for our fix, which was deliciously cool and filling:

We had a lovely walk around the local market and I took the opportunity to get some leggings from Primark and also from on the market, as Primark didn't have 'denim treggings'. River Islands are £24.99, the markets version were only £7.99, so these and the Primark ones were less than £15!!

My outfit of the day was my Ralph Lauren ditsy flower skirt, Gap fushia drape tee, brown leather jacket, Peacocks gladiator style sandals and my Matthew Williamson brown Ibiza bag.

Have a great Bank Holiday weekend everyone!!

Kate Moss dress-Ossie Inspired?

This is one of Kate Moss's new 'vintage inspired' dresses, just launched yesterday on Topshops website. Kate is an avid fan of vintage and has her own extensive collection.

I wonder if this Ossie Clark for Radley dress of mine could have been behind her inspiration for this dress?

I'm happy that mine is the real deal-vintage, that is!!

TwentyEightTwelve tees

A t-shirt is a must have basic for every gals wardrobe. I love these on offer at MyWardrobe.com by TwentyEightTwelve, the brand of Sienna and Savannah Miller.

T-shirts, £59 each



Ruffle vest, £49

Thrift inspiration, Doing it Tuxedo Style!!

Blazers and tuxedos are very much in trend this season, evidently at Balmain, shown off by the the gorgeous Gywneth Paltrow

Kate Moss is a great fan of the tuxedo and wears it dressed up and down

I was lucky to spot this gorgeous lace tuxedo by Ronit Zilka at the boot sale this weekend for only £3. It is a very fitted style and I will wear it with jeans and also a LBD for a dressier occasion

Will you be working a tux this season-formally or informally?

Thrift inspiration, Doing it Matthew Williamson Style!!

On trend for this summer is 'tropical', which the Matthew Williamson for H&M range have highlighted for their summer collection. Birds and peacocks are very popular prints and are bang on trend for this season.

Matthew Williamson for H&M blouse and kaftan, due out mid May-pictures are from the Vogue UK June supplement

Earlier in the season, I spotted this cute top in my local High Street ethnic store for only £1. Made in India, its a very tropical print and such a versatile piece too.


I can wear it with the buttons done up as a blouse or open as a short sleeve jacket. The collar and sleeves have a lovely scalloped edging, so Chloe-esque!!

Will you be in to the 'tropical' trend this summer?
