sunset.

A treasured day off spent in Cartmel in the Lake District enjoying the sunset en route to an open fire and glass of mulled wine.... simple pleasures. 
I took the opportunity to wear my new bronze mirror lense glasses from zara- I am in love.

(wearing- Topshop fur, H&m bow coat, AA disco pants, copper mirrored lenses- Zara)

navy blue & green.

 

 

I cant help but turn my thoughts far far too soon to the amazing colour palette heading our way this winter. I adore navy blue, green and burgundy in equal amounts, classic and sophisticated.... yet much more appealing and kinder against winter skin than black.    

( although I admit finding a stunning black winter coat is still somewhere in my mind )

So I finally got around to sharing the rest of these holiday outfit/ scarf snaps with you. Although the weather in the Uk for me has been decidedly grey I cant seem to tear myself away from the brightest colours. Now I must get ready for to work. Hope it goes fast!

bright blue skies.

I have been woken by the sunshine and bright blue skies.. such a beautiful morning. A week ago today I was still away and I cant help but think of where next. I'm now on the search for the perfect holiday destination at the end of September? Would love some suggestions...

 Im thinking santorini or somewhere in the south of France.... Good weather, beautiful sights and delicious food?

lazy days in Lbds.

Lazy day on holiday relaxing after breakfast in the most simple black dress.. love how easy dressing is while away and how good it feels to be both make up and carefree.

take me back.

Wishing I was still away... such a relaxing week spent swimming, sleeping and enjoying beautiful places and simple pleasures. 

Lots more posts to follow but a snapshot of me on one our the cloudy days....sat by the beach- (wearing: Zara shirt & bag, Pistol panties Bikini.)

Would love to hear of your holidays or get aways?!

There is nothing quite like a  Tommy Ton's or streetstyle photography fix to inspire you and add a huge dose of creativity into the day ahead!

I'm here.

Finally escaped on holiday... bliss.

right now.

Right now ....It looks something like this as I am attempting to pack 

and seem to be drowning in clothes and bikinis.

 I usually live in dresses while away as it proves the easier throw on option... 

this time i'm going to mix it up and take some shorts and shirts and alternatives for the evening.. while attempting to echo a little touch of 
Joanna Hillman who always gets it's spot on.

brushed silk.

I have been meaning to share this dress with you for over a month.. finally got some time off and chance to photograph it to show you!
  The brushed silk feels dreamy to wear - the way it drapes and hangs so beautifully, then the exposed zip and v detail to the back that adds an edge.
Now they have a sale preview i have been considering it in the green option too?Katie.x

Full outfit on the way.

silver x2.

Just about warm enough to get away with bare legs, my new shoes and light denim from Zara.

I seem to be drawn like a magpie to all things silver ... currently considering a pair of silver leather converse... should I do it? xx
