Three on Thursday: for fall

Three of the items that have caught my eye for the coming autumn. The bag will stay on the wish list for a little longer but the jacket and boots are already in the wardrobe.

Sunday - Island Style

It's been a day of coffee, almond and banana pancakes (recipe by Madeleine Shaw), sunny runs, and reading Island Style by India Hicks. Serious amounts of home inspiration and lifestyle envy created.

House wishing- rugs

It may be because I have a very large beautiful Indian rug in storage (until I have space enough to lay it) but recently I've been pinning rugs galore, in all different spaces around the house. Highly impractical but I love a rug in the kitchen.

Three on Thursday: Spring Skirts

Yes it's a cliche but Spring makes me crave florals and patterns and slightly longer length hemlines.

Three on Thursday: Valentino Rockstuds

Not new but boy are these on my wish list. Leaning towards the nude and blush varieties but would not turn down some of the brighter options.

24 hours in Nice

Due to a work event I spent a weekend in Monaco and Nice, and the Mr Dr joined me. With just over 24 hours in Nice strolling, eating, and enjoying some winter sunshine were the priority. 

Breakfast and strolls in Vieille Ville, an adventure to Musée National Marc Chagall [not caught on camera].

I loved this mural and the fact that we caught the restaurant staff almost working in tandem with the artwork.

 

And I couldn't leave without Moules-frites on the beach.

Saturday pining for Spring

Spring & florals (go on and hate on it Miranda Priestly).

Seeing snowdrops on a run means spring is starting to arrive, but I do wish it would hurry.

Getting through the week

Tuesdays, I really feel, are the new Wednesday or Hump Day; especially in a grey February. Coffee is my life blood for leaving the duvet behind and cosy knits, scarves and neutral classics are what I climb into. 

Dreaming of holidays and bare shoulders

After seeing the babe that is Natasha Oakley in this off the shoulder stunner I decided some frantic searching was in order. Not that I have any opportunity to wear anything off -shoulder for the foreseeable future but still I need that in my life. The dress is by Faithfull the Brand and the rest of their collection does not disappoint. Dreamy wish worthy lookbook and catalogue shots below - prepare to be whisked away to Bali. Which given the middle of February blues (sorry Valentines day you aren't helping this year) is sorely needed.

My pics? I seem to be falling for the Valentines theme and would happily click home any of the red items, be it playsuit (second pic), off the shoulder top (fourth pic) or the red dress (last pic). Roll on payday...
