I realised that this summer there has not been a day I have left my front door without something hanging from a chain around my neck.  Necklaces can look sweet and delicate but I love how clean and simple a pendant can look and how it can pull an outfit together.  They are so easy to get hold of and I don’t believe  you need to spend a lot of money to get something special – you can find them everywhere.   The only thing to avoid is cheap-looking chains.  The next one on my wishlist is this charmingly sweet heart locket from vintage-inspired jewellery maker, zarataylor.co.uk

In recent weeks Miss Selfridge has fast become my go-to place for a fix of something pretty in nudes, pinks, creams and lace.  I seem to find something each time I visit, which is great for my wardrobe but not so great for my wallet.  At the moment I am in love with bows, frills, hearts and pleats.   With the current mediocre weather, a delicate palette of nudes and pinks feels right – a reluctant farewell to Summer - I’m not yet ready to accept that in less than a months time I’ll be looking around at coats and boots ready for the click of seasons.

My latest haul got me some lovely pieces in said colours, my favourite being the pink bow dress and the cream broderie cami-dress.  And I’ll always be happy with a sweet little cardigan.  I’m always impressed with the authentic looking vintage-style rings and necklaces in there too.  More of the same, thanks, Miss S. x
