Summer break....

Am off to the beach for a couple of weeks - See you back here in September!

Spanish Christening

Today my boy and I went to the christening of my friend Yolanda's little boy Gael. To the left is the happy family; Yoli, Sammi and Gael - how gorgeous are they? Sammi is Mexican and his four sisters, his Mum and two aunts came over for the event. The whole family was just gorgeous, the four girls had the most lovely long eyelashes - I was very jealous. The service was really fun and afterwards we went to a restaurant on the beach where they proceeded to almost feed us to death! This picture of what I wore was taken on our way home so if the dress is straining a little, it'll be coz I ate too much... This is one of my favourite dresses and I don't wear it nearly enough. I bought it from a little vintage shop in Stoke Newington called Ribbons and Taylor which is one of my favourite shops in the world! The shoes are from Ebay and they are so comfy. I took them travelling with me and everytime I needed to dress up a little, out they'd come!

Matchy matchy, clashy clashy...

I cannot seem to resist the match! All my favourite fashion images stem from the clash yet I cannot seem to integrate it into my own style. Susie Bubble is the queen of the clash, but I love all the streetstyle sites too as they have lots of cool clashing outfits. Above and to the left are a few old images where I couldn't resist the match... If it's not the scarf and the gloves, the arm warmers and the shoes, the scarf and the shoes it's something else - it must be a compulsion! I can be getting ready and I'll put some stripes on with a leopard print belt and then at the last minute, just before I leave the house, I'll look in the mirror and stick on something to match the leopard print, whether I want to or not - is there something I can do to remedy this...?!
