Sherbet Stripes...

For the first time this year it was sunny this weekend, pretty freezing but still its better than pouring rain and grey skies. Finally its starting to feel like Spring, and spring inspired my baby pink outfit on Saturday. I dont tend to wear a lot of pink although I do like how it tends to clash with my hair.. in a good way I choose to believe. These skinnies are the first jeans Ive bought and worn in about 3 years.. the coral turn up teamed with the watered down pink shade seemed perfect.

Brick by Brick...

I spotted this dress in Republic recently and loved it instantly, the mix of brick red and denim blue was something a bit different and I knew it would work in my current wardrobe perfectly. My mum told when she saw it she had one very similar that she got in America in the 70's. This made me like it even more! I do wish it as a smidge longer though... maybe that's me being prudish but seriously a lot of dresses out at the min are thigh skimming. Not a good look for me!

So Im thinking of opening up a blog shop, Ive toyed with the idea many... many times and basically never have enough time/am lazy! But as the heaps of hardly worn clothes pile up Im seriously considering it. This is where I need opinions and help! Which online service is the best?
Ive looked at Goodsie, which seems like a good set up and free for a month which is a big plus, or should I use Bigcartel or just do it through on blogger?
Do you guys shop blog shops? Which kinda site do you prefer?

Feed your heart...

My brother came up with the name of my post today... he studies the heart for his PhD in vascular science and when I said I was doing a Valentines Day themed post he suggested a lot of technical terms for parts of the heart which were pretty horrible to be fair. So he comprised and came up with this title.

Valentines Day is a day to indulge in chocolate, all things sparkly ( drinkable or otherwise!) and of course anything in shades of pink and red...
I hope whatever you are doing today you are loved and happy. xo

Shipwrecked...

Gosh I haven't posted since Wednesday! How did that happen?
Part of the reason was heading straight up to the north coast Friday evening for an early Valentines day weekend with Dave. I channelled colours of pink and red for the weekend, which makes a change from the rust tones Ive been wearing lately.

Blazer: H&M, Shirt c/o Republic, Leggings & Boots: River Island, Watch: Casio, Necklace: Tatty Devine.
This outfit is very different to my usual style, dresses, cardigans, unstructured pieces are what I do best. I get told a lot that I have a very girlie style which Ive never really noticed cos its just the way I dress. This outfit seems very grown up to me, does that sound silly? I absolutely love blazers but they tend to be an item that sits in my wardrobe and doesnt get worn that often.
I got this pink blazer from H&M last week and Im determined to not let this happen again.
Im thinkin it'll be nice over cropped knits and floral dresses in the summer.
What do you think?
