Holiday Shopping ………..

Hi Lovelies,

Well the sun came out today for half term and it was spectacular. It is so easy to forget how good the sunshine feels - the sunglasses were even dusted off today and there were definitely more smiley people around!

PC and I are going to Dubai this weekend for a few days - I have always wanted to go so I am desperately trying to get excited about it.
I am one of those weird people that doesn't look forward to holidays one little bit - I am always too scared to enjoy the anticipation of everything that goes with it, so everything has to be pretty last minute with me, which means frantic rushing around the couple of days before. We haven't even ordered any currency yet.
And finding any summery pieces has proved very very very difficult in February (much harder than last year).
Yes, I have a few little sundresses already, but you really want some new things when you are going on holiday don't you!

So this is what I am going to take with me (some new, some that I had already)

I found this in the concessions in Topshop at Westfield

Jovanna netaporter Mesh Dress £60

I found this on sale at ASOS - it's really pretty

ASOS Salon Floral Lace Sundress was £95 now £47

Topshop was one of the few places that has some summer pieces already in

Off the Shoulder Bardot Lace Dress Topshop £36

Broiderie Trim Sundress - £32

Heart Print Shorts Topshop

Topshop Crochet Shorts

and I have my trusty vintage kimono for covering up swimwear from Kite & Butterfly NY

and I found another vintage one on ebay

NativeHaze Devore & Velvet Vintage Kimono

this was a steal - perfect for taking in a beach bag to cover up swimwear

and it was reduced to £6 from £30!

Maisy Floral Print Bandeau Beach Playsuit now £6 ASOS

Steve Madden Garden Sandal

Paisley Print Hanky Hem Dress

Chiffon Crochet Trim Dress £46

Python & Silver Mesh Sandals - Lola Cruz (the most comfortable flats in the world - FACT!!!)

Mulberry Jelly Sandals (from S/S 2014)

and everything can go in our super lightweight, super cute Lulu Guinness Lips suitcase

Sooo, a question for anybody that has been to Dubai, should I take just a few evening dresses for dinner ???

Victoria Beckham A/W 2015

Hi Lovelies,

When Victoria Beckham shows at New York Fashion Week, you just know that it is going to be a full on family affair, and they most definitely get the award for the cutest FROW of the week.

Anna Wintour looked considerably happier to be seated next to Harper Beckham than she was when placed next to North West - there wasn't a tantrum in site. Her smile had nothing to do with the fact that she was seated next to David, obviously ……….

I really like the whole collection. Very grown up, very fluid, very Victoria! There are loads of pieces I would love to own.

These were the highlights for me

Now THAT'S a selfie ………..

and just to prove that not even the Beckhams are perfect 100% of the time ……

Harper's reaction to Vogue ……..

My new Karen Millen coat is famous!

Hi Lovelies,

So we had our first proper settling snow of the winter yesterday - It is funny how we then immediately remember that it is so much more fun anticipating snow than the actual reality of having it!

It didn't stay on the ground for very long thankfully, but the temperature has definitely dropped.

In the search for some more slightly professional looking outfits I managed to buy the most beautiful Karen Millen Trench Style coat a couple of weeks ago - and last night while catching up on this weeks American TV series, the exact same coat was worn in 2 different shows back to back!! I love it when this happens as it is beyond random!

This is my new coat. A beautify grey wool trench style with satin panel detailing to the front and sleeves

Karen Millen Satin Trimmed Coat

and here is Katherine Heigl wearing it in State of Affairs Episode 11

(great show by the way!)

and Lucy Lui wearing it in this weeks Elementary 

How funny!

I better wear mine this week before I see it on somebody else …………
