Yesterday I went into town for a bit of shopping and a cocktail with Amber.

I wanted to wear my busy, floral mirror print pencil skirt and paired it with all black basics with silver details.

Skirt: Miss Selfridge

It was my last chance to take some photos with Skadi before she went to her new home. She’s not a very good poser so the photos don’t really do her justice.

I’m also debuting my new hair by Helen Jordan at Vidal Sassoon. It’s the first time I’ve had my colour done professionally in 5 years and I must say I’m rather pleased with it.

I’ve pretty much lived in this cardigan for the last year so I think it deserves to be featured. I’ve had several replacements but non of them seem to work quite as well.

Shopping style boards

It has been a while since I last had time for a shopping post. I always save images of products I find interesting but at busy times I have to focus on orders. While I’m disappointed I didn’t get to post about some of my finds, however, I think this is a great time for a clothes post as everyone has updated their ranges for spring.

I have complied 3 boards of my favorite spring styles.

A. Tough girl

1. Bordelle belt strap garters £130+VAT www.bordelle.co.uk I love these but would never be able to afford that much on garters so am considering making a similar pair.
