Frills and lace are as girlie as they come and I won't be letting a bit of rain ruin my outfit. Atleast its not snowing...oh wait- as I'm typing, I'm peering out the window...and its snowing.

Streetwise...

There's not much more daunting than having a blog picture taken. In public. In the morning. When people are on there way to work. 

I've struggled with it since I began blogging- I think people assume it vain, maybe it is, but that's not why I do what I do. 

Since I discovered Fashion blogs I wished I had the confidence to do it. And one day I just did. Doing it gave me more- the blogging community is friendly and forever inspiring me. I could do it all day, if I could!

Coat- A charity shop find. 

Paisley necktie- Instant Vintage.

Smock- Instant Vintage.

Skinny jeans- Gap.

Ankle boots- New Look. 

Outfit photos are the only thing I struggle with, but I'm making a concious effort to make them alot more interesting from now on- and to find the time to do them. 

The wonderful thing about living in bath is that people just assume your a tourist! (apart from when you have to take your coat off for a better picture of your outfit * Awkward*  )

Dreaming of spring...

Dreaming of spring... by houseofswoon featuring leather flats

Spring...is that you?

I know, I know...its only just turned February, but I'm dreaming of spring...

Snood- Dorothy Perkins. 

Top- Instant Vintage.

Jeans- M&S.

Boots- Russell and Bromley

Bag- Mulberry.

The winter is taking its toll on me...Look how pale and ill I look!

I mean look at me for Pete's sake...White jeans? I couldn't resist. The weather isn't as cold at the moment, and I'm surrounded by summery clothes at work. 

Any hoo....its feeling very much like winter tonight...The wind is howling out side and our windows are rattling (thats trusty Georgian building for you...), and we are seeking comfort in old Hollywood films and chicken, leek and mushroom pie. 

Oh, and dreaming about spring...
