DOT COM

We went dotty last week whilst trying out The Whitepepper's Summer collection for their magazine. We particularly loved the slouchy denims, pinafores and matching 2-piece sets.

Check out the collection here.

COLOSSEUM RING

They say good things come to those who wait. I am now in agreement. After a long wait from the moment of lust I have just received this ring from the extremely talented Grace Berrow after spying it on her hand last summer.

I love how original it is and made a little GIF from old photos I took in Rome as a tribute to the Colosseum being its inspiration.

 

READING MATERIAL #16

I found this beautiful antique Nursery Rhymes book on the bookshelves at home. I love the illustrations and old fashioned rhymes.

CANVASSING

Just loving these mega-chunky black and white canvas boots by Vagabond.

INSIDE FRANCES' SPACE FOR THEY DON'T KNOW YET

So excited that the second Helen Glory video by Verity Pemberton of They Don't Know Yet and Chloe of Primrose Productions is up. In the vid we show Verity our rooms and talk about the pieces that we most like in our wardrobes. It was so lovely to meet the sisters and hang out with them for the day. They are an incredibly creative family and I am so impressed with their work. 

 

NEO

I love the oversized cut and exposed seams of this Asos White Neoprene coat. It's also a bargain at the moment! I think neoprene is definitely here to stay for the forseeable future.

BRITISH ISLES

Happy May Day bank holiday.  For me the sunshine means baggy t-shirts and denim skirts. This is one I borrowed from my boyfriend. The logo is his new skate brand ISLE. Can't wait for the decks to arrive!

T.V.

Cutting the sleeves off coats and jackets is a great way to update them for summer. They can then be layered up with a dress or simple tee to provide more coverage to a summer look.

USING YOUR HEAD

I have been an avid cycler for years now and although its maybe not cool, I always wear a helmet. I am too scared in London not to. I was happy therefore when I found this moc-croc leather covered beaut online and have been enjoying my safe cycles ever since. Thank you Sawako Furuno for actually designing a stylish helmet. Note, my neon T-shirt is my summer alternative to my high vis waistcoat. Safety is cool..
