TATTOO

Thinking about getting another tattoo even though I swore down I would stick to just the one...

But how amazing are Pamela and Abbey's finger tatts?

3 WEEKS 3 FEATURES

Woah where have three weeks gone? Things that have happened lately:

1. I got Style Cloned!


Check out StyleClone for more style tips...

2. My photo went up at Street Style Aesthetic!
One of the most surreal but amazing things to happen at my first LFW for the blog was meeting and being photographed by Wayne Tippetts as I've been reading his blog forever. I promise he told me to do moody face, I'm usually a big smiler!



3. I must have been doing something right that day, because Vogue Italia featured me as their Look of the Day for the first day of LFW. Unfortunately they misspelled my last name and now I am known to all my friends adn colleagues as "Bunns" (kind of like it though)

SOMETHING ELSE

Do you ever get that feeling like, "my life will only be complete if I have this one item in my possession?". Well I've been so good with the shopping lately, but really wanting one or both of these in my life right now.

COLOURBLOCKING

I love Hanneli's jumper, it's Stella McCartney and I'm not that rich but it reminds me of something I saw in Cos not that long ago. It was bright orange and cobalt blue which kind of clashes but strangely works.

Just love her face.

SEVENTIES

Looking at these images has reminded me that I still haven't actually watched Taxi Driver all the way through. They're also suggesting to me that I need a 70s jumpsuit in my life. In satin no less.

WALK THIS WAY

Ahh the sun's out, I'm so excited to be in bare legs and open toed shoes (even if by about 6pm I was slightly shivering). I hope this means Spring has sprung, I really don't want to go back to tights.

I'm not a shoe person really but every now and then I find a pair which suit me down to the ground. I got these bad boys at the Bertie Blogger Event on Wednesday and they have barely left my feet since. The event was a blast as always, sorry if I didn't say hi, I get shy at these things. Plus I was with some of my bestest and having too much fun in the photo booth (plus trying on every pair of shoes in my size). Thanks to the guy who ran back and forth to the stock room at least 10 times only for me to pick the first pair I tried on. Thanks to all at Bertie for my new season obsession!


I am not very good at doing outfit posts, perhaps I'll make more of an effort now the weather is improving!

SAVED FOR LATER

My colleagues tease me about my 'saved for later' list on ASOS.com which contains well over a hundred items (not including things which are in there twice in difference sizes/colours). There are definitely more than a few things in there I'll never afford, but I like to keep them in there just in case I win the lottery or something. Plus it's a nice visual reminder of the look I'm feeling for, for the season. Here is a selection of my current picks:

YMC Perforated Stripe Crew Neck Knit As if I need anything else striped in my life right now, but I love the perforated detail.

Pendleton Drifter Leather Holdall I dream of owning a gorgeous holdall like this so I can swan off on weekends away with my capsule wardrobe enclosed. (Currently I stagger off away with a pull along case with a broken zip and numerous extra bags full of 'things I couldn't fit in the case but definitely maybe might need').
Sonia by Sonia Rykiel Striped Wool Dress with Sheer Panel More stripes? I don't know if it obvious from my blog how many breton stripes I own/wear, might have to do a post on the subject soon.

ASOS String Waisted Midi Dress I love this dress, but I need to be wearing it with sandals and socks. We have sun, now we just need heat...

Opening Ceremony Suede Lace Up Clogg Shoes The perfect mid heel summer shoe
Low Luv x Erin Wasson 14ct Gold Plated Triple Bar Crystal Cocktail Ring In Paris I lost my favourite ring I bought in India. It was unique and irreplaceable, but this would help me get over it.
Peter Jensen Rabbit Eye Shirt Even though no one would know they were rabbit eyes, I WOULD KNOW.

YMC Button Up Smock Dress This is the sort of thing I would live in all summer. And would be perfect with the aforementioned Opening Cermony clog shoes and Emma Nissim socks from my previous post!

Pendleton Shopper with Check Design Love the check. Love the chocolate leather. Love Pendleton.
ASOS WHITE Leather Culottes These are 20% off right now, but I cannot buy ANYTHING until pay day when they will probably go back up in price. Such is life.

ASOS Leather Portfolio Clutch My boss has this and assures me it is completely practical despite not having a handle because "you can even carry magazines in it".
ASOS Wide Brim Fedora Hat Buying things in two colours is the ultimate in materialism, but the tan colourway I already have doesn't go with everything!
Mardi Jeudi Drapey Cotton Shirt Tunic With Silk Collar and Sleeves French Korean brand Mardi Jeudi were sent with YMC to tempt me into buying clothes I don't need.
Opening Ceremony Pony Lace Up Clogg Ankle Boots Hmm definitely don't need these, they're like a hybrid of at least another three pairs of shoes I already own, but they would fit into my wardrobe SO WELL.

It would take more than a few extra quid for that little lot, so here are a couple of better things you or I could do with the cash.......

EMMA NISSIM

I try not to take plastic carrier bags when I'm shopping, so I'm growing quite a collection of my own canvas bags. A couple of weekends ago I was really happy to stumble upon Emma Nissim's gorgeous shop in Greenwich where I picked up a 'happy bag' for a mere 5 fiver. Who knew so much joy could come from a small canvas bag, but I can honestly say that when my day isn't going so well, that little red tag reminds me to just smile through it!

If you've never been to the shop then definitely do stop by if you're in Greenwich. Emma Nissim's screen printed garments are made from sustainable fabrics including bamboo and organic cotton. While I was there I picked up these cute penny farthing socks, here I go again with clashing bright orange and light pink! But when will bare leg weather ever arrive?

LADIES CLOTHES CAVERN

I helped out on my Auntie's stall at Greenwich Market a few weeks ago for the first of many times over the summer I expect. Ladies Clothes Cavern sells clothes and accessories handmade using vintage fabrics and recycled denim and also provides a bespoke service.

Aside from the very early Saturday morning start working on the stall was great fun though I did have to hold myself back from shouting "roll up roll up!" (not quite the image we were going for!). It was quite amazing to see how from literally a framework you can turn your pitch into a real shop. We even had a changing room complete with full length mirror and a hook to hang your coat! A guy who was pitched opposite us arrives every Saturday at a time I can only describe as 'still dark, go back to sleep' to begin the 4 hour set up of his stall.
At the end of the day everything is broken down back to a shell and you wouldn't believe what a hive of activity the place had once been.

Ladies Clothes Cavern is at Greenwich Market every Saturday and they also provide sewing classes on Wednesday nights if you're in the area. Check out the details on sewingtime.co.uk
