Poetic Pretty

On the way to meet some friends Jane passed this beautiful rape seed field and couldn’t resist stopping for a mini-photoshoot. Her fabulous YUMI floral tea-dress looks absolutely picture perfect against the yellow flowers...so cute. Don’t shy away from all these summer dresses around just because you think you’re too "old". Full length Maxi-dresses, halter necks, and matching cardigans will suit any age, and don’t forget that shorter lengths shouldn’t really be flaunted at the same time as the chest area.


Just a quick note ladies – Russell & Bromley patent courts are probably not the best choice for a stroll through a muddy field...let’s hope Jane was carried back to the car!

Mother Nature

Glamour magazine recently said “…it’s ok if your winter wardrobe is just your summer wardrobe with tights”. And I laughed to myself seeing as my cold weather attire has basically consisted of black opaques with everything and anything. I’ve got three pairs that I’ve literally had on a loop and I can’t wait to ditch them. Looks like Jane beat me to it – she forward me this pic of her watering her vegetable patch at the weekend, wearing an Oasis bandeau top, Marithe Francois Girbaud light linen pale green skirt, Russell & Bromley flip flops and…bare legs! Praise be!

Baby Doll

Happy Monday fabulous ones!

Jane has been rocking a very feminine, baby doll look recently with plenty of textures and layering. I’m really loving the use of her Ted Baker waist belt with both of these outfits – brings the looks together perfectly.

First up is Jane’s cream Ted Baker dress with a black cardi from Warehouse, followed by a shot of my hawt mummy in a nude (very on trend!) Karen Millen skirt, 'Anonymous' grey corset from John Anthony, and an H&M top (passed on from yours truly).





Hope you’ve all been enjoying the weather – I actually got my bikini on at the weekend! I know, seriously psyched!

The Sun and Your Skin

If you’re anything like Jane and I you would have been straight outside to enjoy that warm weather at the weekend hoping to catch some early colour, because as much as I love slathering myself in L’Oreal Sublime Bronze, there aint nothing like a real golden tan. We’re both quite fair skinned, and I for one definitely have to be careful I don’t burn (plus heat rashes/random red bits/blotchiness don’t need much encouragement), and of course there is the nasty affects of sun damage that you won’t see until years later when your neck disappears under folds of leathery sag. Nice.

It’s easy to ignore the boring warnings, especially when your peers are running about looking bronzed to high heaven in itsy-bitsy bikinis - where’s the fun in being the drip that hides under the umbrella? Jane and I have already succumbed to the fact that this will never be us. We love tanning, we love the feeling of the sun on our skin topping up those vitamin D levels, and we love pulling together a good sunbathing outfit – from the oversized “she’s definitely a someone” sunglasses, to the anklet charms and toe rings.

Jane has always been a sun worshipper, and she has passed on to me some of her must-follow rules for maximum skin-saving sunbathing. I’d just like to point out however, that little or no sun is of course best to avoid sun damage. We’re just saying that ladies, let’s be careful. Unlike this poor woman…

1. Always, always wear plenty of sun cream. It’s an obvious rule, but strangely one of the most misunderstood. We’d recommend at least factor 30+ for shielding against burning and damage to skin’s elasticity, which causes wrinkles. Apply 20-30 minutes before sunbathing, and re-apply at regular intervals. Jane and I love Hawaiian Tropic - full of protection and they smell delicious.

2.Cover the face. Use a hat or t-shirt to cover the face when enjoying pre-longed amounts of exposure in the sun. The skin on your face is fragile compared to the rest of your body, and by covering it up you will reduce the risk of age spots, wrinkles, orange peel pores and chapped lips. Try a panama hat à la Kate Moss.


3.Cover up the chest. Have you ever seen those old ladies with saggy, crepe-y cleavages? That’s usually down to sun damage. Jane and I try and remember to always apply factor 60+, or cover up our chests completely.

4. Drink plenty of water. Hydration means no sun stroke and keeps skin clear and replenished.

5. Give yourself a refreshing spritz with Evian’s Facial Spray when you’re getting too hot – keeps skin moisturised and it feels reaaaaally damn good.

6. Avoid the hottest part of the day. Between 11am-3pm is when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, and therefore at its most damaging. Use this time to throw on a cover up and grab some lunch. Surprisingly I find around 4pm is one of my favourite times to lay out – it’s cooler but you can still catch some colour.

7. Slap on the after sun and hydrating moisture cream once you’ve come back inside. Try keeping a pot of Dermalogica’s Super Rich Repair in your fridge for a cooling boost post-sunbed.

8. Don’t choose a fussy bikini. This isn’t really very important, but still worth a mention. As lovely as spaghetti straps/cut-out one-pieces/fringing/mesh/chain embellishments are, please let’s think about the tan lines?

Here's to hoping we even get a summer this year...if the last few years are anything to go by, we may as well spend our flip-flop money on a new raincoat. But just in case...

Adorable Floral

A gorgeous spring look to show you today – Jane bought this super cute floral print dress from Warehouse, worn with an oh-snap-tastic tan leather corset belt and wedge shoes from Stuart Weizman for Russell & Bromley. So adorable! Someone give the woman a rope swing on a big tree in the middle of a sun-bleached meadow please.

Monochrome Lovelies

Hi all!

How were your Easter weekends? Mine was tremendous – spent the weekend in Bristol with my beautiful mother and my besties. Although, if I see another cake/piece of chocolate/vodka tonic, I may burst.

Jane sported a couple of monochrome looks over the weekend, a colour scheme also favoured by my rock star bunny Kano. The boyfriend and I dressed him in the Lindt rabbit ribbon, and oh my god it was SO cute. Shame he had to throw a tantrum and rip it off seconds later…diva.

Anyway, back to Jane. I love this very French looking ensemble, with a French Connection skirt and Oasis t-shirt. The top is actually a pale pink and black stripe – adorable with the neck scarf.



On Easter Sunday Jane wore this cute get-up – so simple, yet so effective. That plain white t-shirt she has had since she was in her twenties, which is amazing when I think about the durability of fast-fashion basics these days. Yes Zara, I’m looking at you with your t-shirts that fall apart after one cool wash. Sort it out!



Hope you all had beaut bank holidays! x
