Swanky Safari.

'Practical' sandals, baggy vest, stone chinos and tribal decor can only mean one thing; a bloody fabulous safari ensemble. Not that you have to be on safari to wear it, the Savannah and wildlife would merely be the ideal accessory. I have tried these sandals on a grand total of three times, but they look like a shoe and not a sandal once on - an arguably overcritical detail I have tried to see past but simply can't. A victim of my own fastidious fashion if you like. Nevertheless wear the following this Summer if effortless style is you forte.


Cotton-Voile Tank, £60, Chinti and Parker. Tribal Spike Three-Finger Sterling Silver Ring, £535, Pamela Love. Repeat That Tan Sandals, £55, Office. Stone Chino Shorts, £30, Multi Woven Leather Plaited Belt, £26, both Topshop.

Heart Hobo.

A tad hobo but it's all relevant. Throw in some dirty hair and a fox tail and jobs a gudden.
Gold-Plated Onyx Claw Ring, £260, Roberto Cavalli. Black Washed Midi Dress By Boutique, £50, Topshop. H By Hudson Black Multi-Buckle Boot, £140, Urban Outfitters. Large Guia Suede Bag, £405, Meli Melo.

Bjorg Gorge.


Yet another jewellery label lust. Not hard to see where it came from this time. Raw metal, anatomical references and natures finest feathers and stones. I hate to be predictable but I guess in this instance I am.

Small Splurge.

I need to stop spending now.

Tandem Navy Canvas Deck Trainers, £22, Topshop.

And a few other jewellery, make up, headbands and the like.

House of Harlow.

I've been meaning to dedicate a post to Nicole Richie's jewellery line, House of Harlow, for a while now. Here it is. The following are priced from £28-£100 so it's actually an option and not just another trip to a fantasy jewellery land. Topshop have recently done a high street alternative to the multicoloured hexagonal ring, it's not online yet though. I'm a sucker for a bit of shell so I'm quite content.

First Porter Call.

I try not to visit Mr Porter too often because I simply cannot handle the air of gentlman that engulfs me. My jealousy is an embarrassment. Today, however, I have failed and looked at every item on the site. A 'few' faves...
