Here Comes the Summer Sun

Today was so warm that the boy and I decided to go to Richmond park for a spot of spring sunshine! I adore Richmond park, it always amazes me. It is actually so huge and has endless walking spots, and beautiful deer roaming free. We soaked up the rays, ate scrumptious food and fed the ducks! Such a perfect spring day. My OOTD: Chino's (so comfy for strolling), baggy white vest layered with denim shirt, my Cat Eye sunnies and Aztec hairband, complete with my tassel tan loafers.

You've Got Mail!

There's something relaxing, almost satisfying about watching a film that you already know and love. Women like security in knowing how the film is going to end! I have particular movies for particular moods, again it's a female thing, I don't think guys can relate to this!? I watch 'Pretty Woman' when I'm feeling romantic and hopeful, 'How to loose a guy' when I want to swoon over Matthew McConaughey and I watch 'The September Issue' for inspirational energy. Today I watched 'You've Got Mail' as I wanted to drink tea whilst watching and feel like I was in New York! Us women love the 'classic' narrative of two people that just aren't meant to fall in love but do. What are your movies that you know well and will always love?

Spring is Offically Here!

It's official! Spring is here and I'm uber excited..I want to plan lots of nice things to look forward to like day trips and holidays..have you all made plans? As I am kind of broke right now I haven't been able to as of yet but sometimes it's the little things that make us happy...like today I'm enjoying walks in the sun, hanging with friends, listening to Bruno Mars, (love every track on his album) and admiring a few recent cheap and cheerful purchases!

I love making lists especially in cute notebooks, love my cupcake one that mama got me. Today I'm going to make a list of the key pieces I'd like for summer. I have so many clothes, I have a whole summer wardrobe to get out! But I do like to buy statement pieces that I'll wear forever. What key pieces will you be purchasing for this summer?

Summer Style Icons

This year, as every year for me, I will be over-dosing in my inner hippy style, enjoying the summer of love, and following the ultimate in style icons. I love laid back chic with attention to detail. Looking to the old time faves of Boho like Drew Barrymore, Rachel Bilson and Sienna Miller but also inspired by all the the hott US series character icons such as Ivy - 90210 and Vanessa - Gossip Girl...

The 'must have' accessory for a 2011 hippy has got to be the silver/turquoise statement piece, which I can't get enough of.
