The Last Days of Summer with Saint and Sofia

I feel this year more than ever we are hanging on to the last days of Summer with a much tighter hold than perhaps usual. With the want to just stay put in these warm early September days as it feels safer right now.  Although I for one have never been a fan of the […]

Goodbye Summer….

Goodbye Summer, hello Autumn.  I think we are all thinking that the weekend’s weather was Summer’s kind way of saying her goodbyes.   The last of the Summer, the last BBQ’s, alfresco dinners, Summer dresses and sandal wearing,  snoozing in the rays days.   Of course Autumn has an abundance of beauty and new changes can always […]

The Satin Circle

The last time I wore this exact outfit, a couple of weeks ago, my sister said to me, “You look like Year 11 Laura, you know when you tried to get into Shades, ( the local night club) and didn’t get in?”  As you do , I took this backhanded compliment and mustered it into […]

A Blue Summer

The first day of May and the sun is shining, albeit it is still a little on the cold side, it is lovely to see a blue sky and the beginnings of a warm Summer approaching.  With this is the hope that my Summer dress purchases for the heat of the South West of America, […]

Because It’s Always Time For a Cocktail….

Yes I was that girl on Saturday night, when yet again the snow came sweeping in from Siberia for the majority of the night, making it yet again not feel like Spring, very bloody cold and not at all appropriate weather for wearing a pair of gold strappy sandals!  In my defence because of mad […]

Ignoring The Snow…..

Just when we thought that the light of Spring was saying a warm hello, with daffodils filling the house, lighter mornings, lighter evenings, bulbs springing up on window sills and in gardens of those organised types (obvs not mine I’m more of a threat than the coldest of cold when it comes to greenery) and […]

Signs Of Spring

I am sure I am not the only one that feels as if the Summer was a lifetime ago.  January seemed to go on forever, cold snaps, blustery days, the dreaded cough/cold and dark, dark, long days…When a photo pops up on my Instagram feed of those lucky peeps living in warmer climates or seemingly […]
