Well it’s been a little up and down. But it’s definitely warmed up and feeling a lot more like summer. I’m very happy to feel the heat and at last bring out my shorts and easy breezy flimsy tops. I’ve mixed up my textures here with this chiffon top, denim shorts, studded sandals and fringed bag. A little boho mash up. But I love the ease of summer days. It’s the perfect time to relax with our style and enjoy wearing all our favourite pretty pieces. Wrapping up most of the year takes it’s toll on the skin so I aways give myself a natural looking glowwith a brush of fake tan. I hope your enjoying the summer style that the heatwave brings. Have a great weekend. xx Dawn
The latest jacket dilema sorted. Go relaxed safari style with denim of indigo shades and staple pieces of cream and black. Give it a twist with an alternative belt or keep it straight up simple. This particular utility style jacket in olive green hue is softened with a golden sheen. Adding gold accessories also lifts the look. Keeping it relaxed is key. The safari look is a beautiful trend to channel for everyday . A jacket like this can really make a simple outfit chic. A braided leather belt is my next move for this little number. Adding it to a cream skirt or pants would be ideal. Little things likes this jacket can become a timeless piece for your capsule wardrobe. I wore this outfit for my trip to London this week. I got to preview the new Rachel Comey AW15 collectionwhich actually included several pieces in this khaki tone. There are a few pics over on my Instagram of the evening. Have a great end of week.

Cut away for an easy breezy summer feel. Smitten over this top. Love the deep cut to the arm. Rich in colour and full swinging. It’s one of those pieces that you can just throw on for the beach, for dinner or for a night out. It’s pretty much what I like about a piece- the versatility and wearability. And this little number hits the spot for me. I wore it with my old denim skirt that I seem to bring out year after year. I like denim with rich colours like burgundy. Also great with a gold accessory or two. I put earring with it this time but I shall be going full out boho with full arm regalia next time. Have a great week. Dawn xx
Stepping out to a sun filled London street. Heaven. London is beautiful when the sun is shining. The ease of sandals and a slip on dress seem to fit perfectly. A little time out from reality and a wonder around the pretty streets of cafes and shops is time well spent.I’ve not had too much time this year to get to London as much as i should of. Been missing out on some great opportunities but my children’s growing commitments have taken first place. It’s been a wonderful year for them.Shining in School and in their chosen sports. Hopefully I’ll get a bit more time this summer to get here more often. Dawn xx
I was in London last week for a couple of days celebrating my parents ruby wedding anniversary. The weather was beautiful and London is always great when the sun is shining. Took these shots around chelsea harbour. Not somewhere I get to come when I’m usually here, so it was a nice change. I wore this very slim fitting pencil skirt for my night out. I love the delicate nude shade and sheer fabric. Not too much room for error (food & drink) but I couldn’t turn down the chance to wear it. It’s not an everyday skirt but it’s definitely a gorgeous piece. I did a little colour blocking and added this lace back black body suit. I do like the colours together. It’s a striking match of nude and black. You could go for a cream or pink to make the look softer which I think I’ll do next time. So the evening went well and my parents had a great time. I was sad this time to leave my sister and sunny London. It was so nice to be together enjoying the special day. I’ve a couple of pics over on my Instagram of my visit. You can check out here. Have a great week. Dawn xx
