Work Lunch

My work schedule at the moment means that my favourite market haunts, once frequented almost daily, are now very rarely visited at all. While this is probably a good thing for my wallet, I do miss the bargains. That is until today when an ice cream lunch break ended up looking like this

 Happy again.

Gingham

One of my favourite fabrics, Gingham feels distinctly British, and reminds me of picnics, school uniforms and cream tea idylls. I wish I had proper gingham clothes, instead I have only variations on the theme - checks of many descriptions, like my trousers, shirt and two dresses (given/lent by Daisy) here. While flicking through a magazine today I saw this Chanel sunglasses advert and thought of a Primark buy I made a few years ago. I've never been sure what this black and white chequered chiffon number is supposed to be worn as (shorts? pj's? underwear? beachwear?!) but I love them all the same.

texture

I really like lots of textures and prints together, the less matching the better
