Pre holiday collection

I am about to go off to France to hang in a garden and drink yummy wine and look at the forest. So preparing for holiday have my essential pieces, Sponge Bob dress slash nightwear -

Whistable, £1.50, printed pants to be used as shorts if need, Kingsland Rd, £3 and stripes £3. More stripes to come.

Summer fabrics

So the stripes are out in full force,and I will be sporting as much stripe as I can. Here's some fabrics I will be wearing combined and alone.

Blue stripe skirt, £1, Kingsland Rd, E8. Stripe long sleeved tee, £3, Lower Clapton Rd, E5.

Cold, colour and stripes.

It's still cold and the anorak is on most days, but mixing well with stripe on stripe, a flash of a coloured

sandal and away we go. At the moment I am wearing a black and white stripe cardigan to keep warm over the stripe navy and white dress I found last week. Let's hear it for the stripe. Stripe dress, £3, Kingsland Rd, E8. Shoes, Shoeworld, £12, Bethnal Green Road, E2. Anorak, £4, Kingsland Rd, E8.

Let it pour-April 2012

In another day of rain, thunder and lightening, one must be prepared in more than a child's anorak. So in my cause for being dry I did a quick dash into the St. Vincent de Paul to grab a little relief. Here it is, my new rain proof grey jacket with buttons and blur race stripe trim. £3.

Today's Spring

Well it's been cold, and hot, and cold, so I realized what was missing the warmth of a Spring scarf that I had not work yet. Oh yes, I will be warm from now on thanks to my cow print cotton scarf to give me a snuggle. The Shop, Cheshire St, E2, £5.

Pre sun wear-March 2012

The sun is here and I have taken it as an opportunity to start wearing much less wool, and tights. One can only hope. But I can still not go past a lovely jumper for when the cold is back or for those chilly nights ahead. The jacket, this slightly deranged print trench coat is light for the sun days and for going into the early dewy evening. Oxfam, Kingsland Road, E8, £5. The shoes are a tribute to holidays and the glittery markets afar, with slight of heart patterns and gold, one can not go wrong. Slip these on and sip. Gift. The jumper, with its fluffiness and triangular prints will take me nicely into next season. Salvation Army, $10.

Spring styles

I have just got back from the other side of the world and have been trying to keep away from the second hand shops, due to a want of not having to carry anymore stuff. I need to slim down the wardrobe. But on a sunny day with some old friends I found a couple of friends to help me through the Spring days that are to come. Salvation Army, Ghuznee Street, Wellington, New Zealand. Skirt, $6 Shoes $6
