A guilt free gorgeous summer dress - Thank you Tabitha Webb



Hi Lovelies,

There is nothing to not love about a glorious summer dress - but a gorgeous dress that also gives a nice amount of the price tag to Fashion Targets Breast Cancer surely makes it a must have!

Tabitha Webb has designed a joyful dress and it is being sold exclusively at My Wardrobe.

Holly Willoughby looked stunning in this dress a couple of weeks ago on This Morning, Pippa Middleton and Emmy Rossum has also been spotted in it.

You can pre order it now. The price of the dress is £285 and £85 of the price goes directly to Breast Cancer Research.

Tabitha Webb Exclusive Fashion Targets Breast Cancer Blossom Dress
Available from MyWardobe.com £285




Lace Detailed Shoulders







If you love the look, but not the price tag - this gorgeous printed pencil skirt from Zara is so pretty

and I love Broderie Anglais in the Summer - it looks so fresh.
This skirt is great for daytime

Skorting around the issue!!!!




Hi Lovelies,

I hope your week has been happy so far.
We are in the grips of exams Chez Cockayne so it has been a little bit stressy - but can you believe it is half term again this Friday - I swear they are on holiday much more than when we were younger!!! Oh well, at least we have another Bank Holiday to look forward to on Monday. 

Blue is definitely one of my favourite colours, and this week I have fallen for these cute little Topshop Dresses - Topshop also happen to be offering free shipping on every order over £30 just now - well, every little helps right!!

This one is such an easy to wear style, as it is just a pull over the head style

You could size down in this one for a slightly more fitted look


Capped Sleeve Blue Lace Effect Dress - £35 Topshop

And I am a complete sucker for a smock effect on a dress - so I was sold on this little cutie too




Cornflower Blue Embroidered Hem Dress - £46 Topshop

and while we are confessing - I managed to grab one of these sweatshirts from ASOS.
This piece sold out immediately - it is not hard to see where the inspiration came from!

You may well recognise the colours from the Acne S/S 2013 campaign!



I love the colours together and this is probably even easier to wear than the Acne Jacket



Lavish Alice Sweatshirt with Stripe Sleeves - £38 ASOS

and what could you wear with it?

Well....................

by far the biggest selling piece for S/S for Zara has been this Origami Skort

Now when is a skirt not a Skirt?

Well when it is a skort lol! It looks like a skirt, but gives you the security of a pair of shorts.
The Skort is available in Ecru, Cobalt Blue and Black and as soon as it comes in, they are stripped off of the shelves immediately.

Now, I adore the concept, a smart looking, easy to wear, directional piece at
a great price.

This is the Zara skort in question

Asymmetric Wrap Skort - £25.99 Zara

In the interest of research, Jools ordered it in the blue
Forget what size you usually are in Zara - this is designed to be worn slightly loose so it hangs nonchalantly off of the waist (it also makes it slightly longer!)




I have loved how other bloggers and stylists have been wearing it









what do you think? Would you give it a whirl!!


and lastly today. How lovely does Kate look!
She was attending the Queen's annual Garden Party and you can see that her gorgeous bump is coming on beautifully - especially from the side view.

The madness of Cannes continues ..........




Hello lovelies,

This has surely got to be one of the weirdest Cannes Film Festivals ever.

A million dollars worth of Chopard jewellery was stolen from an employee of Chopard who was staying in a Novotel hotel in Cannes. Police suspect it to be an inside job - err you do not have to be Sherlock to work that one out!!

And then Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained) was involved in a Gun and Grenade Drama by some crazy guy that started firing a gun while Christoph was being interviewed, claiming that he also had a grenade. Luckily they were found to be blanks, but still an incredibly scary experience.

But we must save our biggest sympathies for "poor" Eva Longaria ...........

Yes indeed, the poor wee scone had THIS many people fawning over her


but not a single one of them apparently could remind her to put on a pair of pants ..............


Sigh, it appears the Desperate Housewife actress really is now so "desperate" to grab the headlines that she will stoop this low.
 It is pretty sad. Hair Extensions Check, Eyelash Extensions Check, Fake Tan Check, Jewellery Check, Underwear .............. oh darn it !!!


Somebody who got it totally right was the incredibly gorgeous Jessica Biel.

Being Mrs Timberlake just isn't quite enough - nope, she has to go and look this good
on the Cannes red carpet.

She was dressed by Marchesa
Look and Learn Eva - Look and Learn ...............



with the most incredible pale pink dipped feather detailing underneath


and of course a statement piece of jewellery!



but really, who noticed what accessories you carry when you get to wear this on your arm !


and Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban showed no signs of the honeymoon period being over!
(kind of cute or kind of try to hard ....... you decide!)



She wore L'Wren Scott (aka Mick Jagger's Partner!)


Sigh, all these Diamonds and Jewels have gone straight to my head!

If you want to experience a tiny bit of bling and glamour without the price tag,
ASOS have again come to our rescue!

These pretties dropped this weekend and are very purse friendly



Tear Drop Jewelled Earrings - £6 ASOS



Jewelled Cross Headband - £15 ASOS


Turquoise Tear Drop Earrings - £6 ASOS



Sequinned Bead Headband - £8 ASOS

See, we might now all be able to go and play in Canne, but we can all look like princesses.


I hope you have had a fabulous weekend
