Spanner in the works
Pawn shops do make me sad, but then I think how happy I'd be if I had this bolt and spanner bangle
Magpie
Such a sucker for anything shiny - love these trousers, and kind of want to relive my 13 year old self and buy another pair of shelltoes. Photos from a blog archiving pictures from The Face magazine - look it up for lots of 90s fashion inspiration.

Autumn Updates
The purse strings are tightly drawn this coming season so my wardrobe updates are limited. I couldn't resist this shirt in my favourite print and this lovely lightweight jumper though.

Layered Colour
Amazing shoot styled by Katie Shillingford and shot by Vivian Sassen for Dazed and Confused.
So much to look at!
Lacroix
Jewellery from the south of France that influenced the creation of a Lacroix 1987 wedding dress.
Christian Lacroix's haute couture embodies all the lavish opulence one imagines haute couture should be.

Lemons
As summer begins to draw an end and I start to make staunch resolutions about baring legs for as long as possible, my thoughts turn to clothes I wish I had got more wear out of. I picked up this beautiful little 1960s dress for 3 euro from a market in Spain earlier this Summer
Quite difficult to wear as it is essentially see through but it makes a great pool/beach dress. I love fruit prints, I've written about a Stella McCartney favourite years ago here and here.

Sorolla's House
The tile theme continued (see last week's Celine post): these are from the Spanish painter Sorolla's house in Madrid, which I visited last week before catching a flight home - with a heavy heart - after an amazing few days holiday.

Celine II
Love the latest Celine campaign - which features another collaboration with Juergen Teller and Daria Werbowy. The tiles and clothes clash so well - although part of me wants to wear the tile patterns as much as the Celine numbers.

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.

Venice
I spent a few days in Venice last week where the most fun was probably had on water buses which we took endlessly up and down the grand canal... beats London's public transport in hot weather by miles.

Purple Lace
Out with the white, in with the..lilac?
Kind of want to wear these lace curtains that we dyed this weekend in Cornwall.
A Posy a Day
Just back from a few days in Cornwall, where summer clothes that have long been packed away were whipped out of storage boxes and finally worn after what is probably a 5 year sojourn.
A posy a day
Unfortunately posy picking got a little bit competitive but luckily still managed to be enjoyable

Mad Woman
Am off to Cornwall for a couple of days where I am looking forward to not caring AT ALL about how strange I'm going to look in this get up:
Now I just have to hope that the weather holds out....
Have a lovely weekend one and all.
