TIP OF THE WEEK: TRUNK UP

With London turning totally tropical today, this week's tip ensures you will stay cool! Men's cotton swimming trunks make great high waisted shorts for the summer months. They are super comfy and the vintage ones seem to come in some great prints. I found the pair on the left in a jumble sale and bought them as the looked like a design for a china plate. The Hawaiian style ones tick all the boxes: fruit, florals and postage stamps (or maybe too many).

HAPPY SOLSTICE

Have a very Happy Summer Solstice. Enjoy this long long day. I can't believe it is going to start getting darker now... 

My sun glasses reminded me that summer is still to come, even if the days are now getting shorter.

DAWN CHORUS

I am in a dream world. Slept for two days then woke up at 4.30 this morning and made myself a full English Breakfast while the birds were chirping outside.
Finally unpacked my overweight suitcase (hence the creasing).
New York I miss you!
