Yesterday I embraced my inner sailor with this nautical look! I love a breton stripe and have many striped tops, which look great worn with jeans. My favourite shape in vintage and modern clothing is a wide, structured skirt, which…
Have I died and gone to heaven? Well not exactly, but boy these 1970s vintage style shoes come pretty close. They are totally fabulous and I am seriously in love! Designed by Orla Kiely for Clarks and called Betty, this…

Well I am now in week 2 of #dressupjune and I am totally loving re-discovering my vintage fashion! I haven’t worn jeans in two weeks, choosing to wear a pretty frock instead! I really hope I continue this beyond June…
