Primrose Park

SHOP MY OUTFIT: Top - Primrose Park, Trousers - Primrose Park

Primrose Park is my own collection that is available at ANNA but also other fabulous stores; The Cross, Precious, Cavells... to name a few.

The label was created for women that love colour and print, I totally believe that the older we get the more colour and print we should wear!  Greys, black and beige can be safe but terribly draining so try and steer clear of these dull colours next to your face.

This ikat shirt and trouser set is perfect for loads of occasions, dress it up with heels or wear separately teaming the top with jeans and wearing the trousers relaxed with a t-shirt and pumps!

SHOP MY OUTFIT: Dress - Primrose Park, Hat - Star Mela, Shoes - Chanel, Necklace - Icon (available at ANNA)

This dress is fresh and fun, the print is clean and vibrant.  I've teamed it with my Chanel espadrilles (summer treat to myself!), a hat and an Icon Buddha necklace. An effortless holiday outfit.

SHOP MY OUTFIT: Kimono - Primrose Park, Vest - By Malene Birger, Necklace - Icon (available at ANNA), Jeans - Current Elliott, Espadrilles - Chanel

I think kimonos are a must in everyone's wardrobe; perfect over a summer dress, a pair of shorts or try just jazzing up a vest and jeans.

SHOP MY OUTFIT: Dress - Primrose Park, Necklace - Zozishine, Bangle - Zozishine, Espadrille

The Primrose Park collection can be found at: ANNA, The Cross, Precious, Cavells, Bibi, Anya, Bod & Ted, Coco Blue, Doodie Stark, Katharine Bird, Toil and Glitter, NO 42.

New Years Eve...what I'm wearing.....

I've never really liked New Year's Eve, enforced jollity that lasts into the early hours... This year I'm off to a house party for the usual fun and frolics. The girls in Norfolk always love to dress up so I've opted for this dress ensemble... It's fab and I've worn it to almost every party this festive season as it always meets the occasion,  job done! Mine is by Rag and Bone, but you can get the same look for a fraction of the price with this leopard maxi from Mango. 

As new year celebrations continue through the night, my girlfriends and I always hit the dance floor with 'champagne confidence' so it's essential to find heels that don't leave your feet screaming for a foot bath... Lucy Choi are perfect, comfy AND sexy!

What ever you are up to enjoy!

Happy New Year!

The Nightmare Spring/Summer Event

Even though summer invites always allow for  plenty of time to shop I can’t believe how tricky it is to find the perfect outfit for more formal occasions - even for me with my own shops!!  So much protocol and so many dilemmas - shoes, sleeves, jackets, weather … anyway … here are a few suggestions that I hope will make it easier for you!

Personally I think you can wear trousers - I’ll be wearing these cream tuxedo trousers and a white shirt to a friend’s wedding later this month ... it’s a day to evening event so this pale coat by Malene Birger ticks all the boxes. In the evening I will swap the coat for this luscious printed skull wrap and statement jewellery. Heels by Lucy Choi are essential!

Coat: Malene Birger, Fiurica coat, £379, Shirt: Malene Birger, Popsi shirt, £165. Trousers: Malene Birger, Tuxedo trouser  (Available in ANNA stores). Shoes: Lucy Choi, Aster Glitter, £195. Bracelet: 5 Octobre, Betim Bangle, £95. Necklace: 5 Octobre, Sam necklace, £255.

Scarf: 360 Sweater, Skull cashmere scarf, (Available in ANNA stores). Bracelet: 5 Octobre, Betim Bangle, £95. Necklace: 5 Octobre, Sam necklace, £255. 

I think sleeveless is ok too, depending on how comfortable you are with your own arms and remember outfits always look better when you feel confident in them. This Saloni dress is a fave of mine - I particularly like print in the summer - I feel pretty and feminine - not something I‘m used to!  If sleeveless is a step too far add a light summer jacket - this one by Zara is great for layering over sleeveless in dresses in the summer. If pretty prints are too much for you then go for an understated animal print - I think this one by DVF is perfect for any do.
