COMPETITION: STYLE ME IF YOU CAN

Have you checked out this competition hosted by Warehouse? Choose a situation, & then put together an outfit for model Alex - & you're in with a chance of winning a trip to New York, Paris or Milan! Bonus!

(I've been working on the above - an interview outfit - smart tailoring, with a funky leather skirt & neon statement jewellery...)

Good luck!

HEADING TO HEATHROW: BUDGET vs BUSINESS

{scarf 2.ooGBP from Primark, sweater 12.ooGBP, dress 25.ooGBP, both from New Look}

I'm currently packing for Ghana, how exciting! Mandatory requirement: don't pack anything expensive! So, living on & wearing a budget for 3 weeks, this is what I've chosen to wear to the airport (where I have to meet the requirements for the business lounge: closed-toe shoes & dresses below the knees!) I'm pretty pleased :)

{You can get more detail on the packing process, here!}

GRADUATE FASHION WEEK 2013: LONDON

Such a huge amount of talent in the new generation! Before I show you my snaps from the shows at Graduate Fashion Week this year, I thought I'd share with you a few of the pieces on presentation..

Wooden handled bags! I love the utilitarian aesthetic (when of course, they would probably be impractically heavy to carry!):

This rain mac is divine: furry cosy hood, plus layered outerlayers, including a transparent body:

Laser-cut leather pieces - houndstooth shadows! - were so delicately embedded within sharp suit designs & clean lines:

Potpourri in a collar!

SUMMER SUN, BLUEBELLS, & BAKED CAMEMBERT

Last weekend I met up with the family in Dulwich park, & it seemed like the first signs of Summer were making their appearance!

{wearing: dress by New Look, jumper & pumps by Topshop, sunglasses by Miu Miu}

After a walk in the park, we headed to The Plough for lunch, where we enjoyed baked Camembert with chutney, Gloucester Old Spot sausages with beer-mustard mash, the crispiest onion rings & gravy, plus rib-eye steak with baked tomato, mashed potato, & peppercorn sauce. Following which, we indulged in some Pimms & fruit jelly with toffee-apple ice-cream, & peach & raspberry crumble served with raspberry sorbet. Yum!

Spotted this rather tall bee in a hat, looking down at us outside the pub!

...& then we popped to the Horniman Museum, & came across this pretty cool/scary artifact:

After saying hello to the long-haired goats, I finished the evening back in Clapham, jug of Pimms on order. Yup, Summer has arrived!

Have a fab weekend!
