Ted Baker new season – Floral prints and chic separates
I have totally fallen in love with the new collection from Ted Baker. It is, quite frankly, amazing. Taking the usual Ted Baker loved of exquisite blooming floral prints, and adding in the more minimalist, block colour separates in stark white, smart navy and neons and pastels, this collection totally screams summer. But is also contains many pieces that you will add to your wardrobe right now and be able to wear straight away. Detail is the key theme in this collection. There are embellished jumpers, with fabulous jewelled necklines – perfect with a pencil skirt or peg trousers for an evening out, or worn with skinny jeans and ballerina…

Friday Frocks – dresses, dresses, dresses
I’m cold! It’s dull and rainy, and if we were in any doubt that our lovely Indian Summer was well and truly over, today is the sort of day that dispels any hope of warm days. So, because of this fact and how it makes me feel (i.e. miserable). And, because of the fact that my hands are almost falling off due to cold, but I totally refuse to turn the central heating on while the month still begins with ‘OCT’, todays blog is a Friday shopping special created solely with the aim of cheering me up. It contains my favourite item of clothing, dresses, and lots of them. So…

Friday Shopping – Dress special
Friday shopping has been absent for a few weeks, as I have been enjoying Summer holidays and weekend breaks away. But now it is back and I’ve turned once again to a subject close to my heart – pretty dresses. Whilst some people live in jeans, or are never out of trousers, I always instinctively turn to a dress when I need something failsafe. As we start to head towards Autumn, it is nice to know that colour is still a big story. Coast have a fabulous range of £95 dresses that are destined to be wardrobe classics. I love the jewelled emerald shade, as well as the zesty colour…

Friday shopping focus
Friday shopping this week focuses on a tale of extremes. In one corner we have George from Asda, which has a gorgeous new tropical collection that is just perfect for adding sultry sunshine to your wardrobe. The collection is lovely, and with prices below £25, is also great value and a perfect budget friendly treat. In the other corner we have the luxurious top picks of the week from Selfridges, which include a classic dress from Roland Mouret, and a mouth-watering gorgeous jacket from Isabel Marant. There is also a great bag and shoe offer from Clarks, which would enable you to buy the Marsh flower bag for just £15…

Kiera Knightley’s wedding – Rock and Roll Prom Style
Kiera Knightley got married this weekend, and I have to say how much I loved her whole look. Apparently recycling a Rodarte dress that she first wore a few years ago, and adding a Chanel jacket, pretty ballerina pumps and a chain of delicate flowers to her hair, she epitomised the cool and casual, low-key bride – and looked just wonderful. I love so much about Kiera’s wedding style. In the days when excess is the norm (Kardashian’s anyone?), to see a bride looking so fresh and pretty is just so refreshing. Add in the fact that Kiera recycled an admittedly beautiful dress, and then slipped on a pair of…
