the late summer sunglasses edit

Scratched? Neglected? Left in a bar? Those poor exhausted-by-August shades. Some of these are bonkers cash but if you wear them every day May-October and eat baked beans then it is just about OK. And you definitely won't lose them.

its friday. go naked

I often feel slightly naked when I wear my blush jeans. I love them. I love blush coloured anything. It is the easiest and prettiest colour to mix with this seasons florals and brights. It rocks with black, and grey, and it can't help looking expensive. Get some.

the clemster

So my crush on the Hendry girls and their style continues. Whilst at Rosie and Sevi's (ridiculously amazing) wedding I caught up with her sister Clemmie and had to put this pic on the blog. She looks so 60s chic in her stripe bikini, round glasses and floppy hat. Get the look...bikini from Accessorize (similar one here), sunglasses from Chanel and hat from TK Maxx. Watch out for all things 60s in the coming months, it is set to be a big trend for Autumn/Winter and beyond.

hong kong shopping: eyes and lips

Hong Kong was all about eyes and lips last night. The latest in a long line of pop-up stores opened, Woaw which is selling seriously cool eyewear brands. New sunglasses for summer are a must, so pop over there and check them out on Patterson Street, Fashion Walk, Causeway Bay. Lips were courtesy of  the gorgeous Lulu Guinness who was in town to talk about her quirky English style handbags. The lime or pink lips provide the perfect pop of colour to any outfit. I can't wait for Lulu to be sold here, watch this space and if you can't wait then you can buy online here...
