Fantastic Florals.

Everyone knows that florals are a key trend throughout spring-summer but this year they are set to stroll straight through to autumn-winter, with darker base tones. So, by making a purchase now you are ensuring a trend-transitioning investment! 

The great thing is that with minimum effort you get maximum results - Easy to wear; eye-catching, bold, feminine and colourful!

This floral kimono from Warehouse (£42) is stunning! Paired as above with Topshop satin skorts, makes for a refined evening look; or throw it over a vest top with some jeans for casual yet trendy daywear. 

I'm a little bit obsessed with florals at the moment and recently bought a black maxi dress from Red Herring at www.debenhams.com .. with 20% at the moment it was a steal!

I'm thinking of wearing this with sandals and a leather jacket for a daytime through to evening look. 

 

What floats your floral fancy?

 

Love!

Day-to-Day.

a glimpse into my day to day style. 

I always have been a minimalist and for me, I like to be comfortable. My £15, slouchy H&M knit is a favourite of mine at the moment. It goes with everything! 

Here's another day look of mine.. 

what's your day-to-day favourite?

Topic Tropic.

As great as it would be, to book a flight on those wet, grey days; to some remote Pacific island just to bask in the midday sun under an empty blue sky, piña colada in  hand - we can't. But we can invest in a little piece of paradise at home. Whatever the weather it's easy to inject so summer zest into your day. Tropical print is huge right now and teamed with some killer colour pop, you're set to have a sunny day! 

 

love!

My Nature Date.

Today has been a good day. Nothing beats getting outside in the fresh air and enjoying the great outdoors.

 

I guess my love for the outdoors stems from growing up near Balgonie Castle, which is located not too far from my home village. Numerous evenings were spent climbing trees; riding my bike around the house pretending I was Frankie Dettori; using the jam jars from the Big End to entrap bees and house butterflies. Runs in the car with my granddad, up some farm road with my head out the sunroof, my hair flying about shouting 'faster! faster!'. Maybe, just getting to wander through the corn fields or exploring the riverside has given me a sense of freedom which now I cannot ignore.

 

Admittedly, I have to be in the 'mood' for outdoor activities. My poor gran, forever trying to entice me up some blinkin' hill! Every summer for two weeks Ardtoe was our home. Oh the mischief we used to get up too! It was customary, our tradition to climb the cairn but the older I got, the more reluctant I was!

 

Really, looking back now with maturity on my side, I know why my gran was always so persistent - the world is such a beautiful place with the extra bonus that the exercise is good for you! I have such an appreciation and admiration for the outdoors nowadays. Everything seems so peaceful, quiet, simple.

All you to do is stick a couple sandwiches in a backpack, put on a pair of boots and head out on an adventure.

 

There is a lot of interesting and inspiring things out there. Today was just a beautiful day with some gorgeous company.
