Shoezone review – Haute Hippie festival style
I first became a fan of Shoezone when Joe was small. They sold the cutest t-bar canvas shoes that had a real retro feel and were a total bargain (2 pairs for £8 as I recall.)

I was spoiled for choice, but decided that, as it was…

This outfit post is mainly holiday outfits, with a few very special event looks thrown in for…

John Lewis Beach Safari edit
When it comes to colours and trends that sum up Summer perfectly, the colours, tones and patterns of safari style are pretty hard to beat. Jungle style prints and neutral beige, khaki and nude tones can easily transport you to a place of sun, sea and sand, even when you are feeling the heat in the city. John Lewis have launched summer with a style edit called ‘Beach Safari’. An eclectic mixture of John Lewis’s own collection and selected brands, this range is chocked full of animal prints, natural shades and simple clean lines. What makes this collection stand out from the general safari style looks is the addition of…
