Backpacking


Collaborations • London • Outfits

I wanted to share my latest post in collaboration with Selfridges all about this super cute backpack from Chloe.

I got totally converted to backpacks last summer. I never thought I would be into them, they somehow seemed too childish and naff in my head. I was totally wrong. I fell in love with one and ever since I’ve thought how practical and cute they are. It’s totally about finding the right one (some are still in the first category for me), but others, like this little Chloe Faye mini, are beyond cute. I love the colour of this one. The grey is just perfection (although it does force me to run for cover whenever a whiff of rain appears) and I love the top strap, meaning you can carry it as a handbag too. I havent had a Chloe bag for a while, I dont think I felt I was quite bohemian enough to pull off the aesthetic, but this one is different. It feels more urban and masculine with the chain detailing. I love the masculine hardware combined with the silkiness of the slip dress (which btw is the best fitting slip I have ever found). All the soft tones and variations of texture are just so delicious. There are so many designer backpacks are to choose from now. Sporty Prada ones to studded Valentino ones. The Chloe backpack is a great option for girls, like me, who are a bit nervous of them. It’s more like a hybrid of a bag and a backpack, so it will ease you in. I love wearing mine at the weekend and to more causal things in the summer like festivals. It means you keep your hands free to wave them in the air like just don’t care! lol. Or you know more normal stuff like drink or push a pram. I really think if you haven’t tried one before you will be sold.

The Summer Season is Coming


Collaborations • London • Outfits
That Season is fast approaching. The Season of events.

I don’t know about you, if its just my age but all of a sudden I seem to have an event or a wedding every weekend of the summer. Despite my large wardrobe (theres no point pretending otherwise) I still find it hard to find different things to wear to each thing. I don’t want to repeat outfits in the same season too much and I also want very special pieces and more carefree pieces for different events. Sometimes it’s just too much pressure to wear your most expensive dresses, when their are lawns and children involved (or in my case food, myself and thumbelina!). So I have found myself returning to old haunts. I loved LK Bennett as a teenager. Their kitten heels were everything, and after going to their press day a month ago I realised they have a whole new lease of life and their summer options for events were lovely. They are just the right amount of special (‘yes I love you and made an effort for your big day’) and not so ‘look at me’ that you feel it’s sending all the wrong messages (‘it’s all about me not you’). I loved their tea dresses and cute shoe combinations. These are a few of my favourites to give you a bit of event dressing inspiration. I was thrilled when they asked me to share some with you after our chance meeting at their Press Day. I always try and go and see one new brand a season and this time I chose LK Bennett. What a funny coincidence to then end up creating this. Sometimes things just work out.
