Signs

PhotoGrid_1369246153131

Signs of summer are beginning to creep into the Instagram feed… with bare arms outdoors and 2013’s first alfresco Friday night drink and afternoon river paddles.  Also thrown in are some snaps from a new menu tasting at the Hilton’s Morblas (thanks for letting me taste my weight in your delicious steak) and yesterday’s shoot at the bluebellgray dream home – interior inspiration to the max.  Made me wonder if I should spend a bit more time on the space I eat, sleep and most often work in…

Candy

Thankfifi- Candy-9

I don’t often do candy girly colours but it seems my nails have somewhat dictated my fashion choices.  Whilst I have enjoyed my neon tips these last few days, it’s limiting when it gets in my head that neon is a faux-pas with so many outfits (dangerous 80’s territory rule out wedge sneakers amongst other things).  That being said, I enjoyed this look, save the obvious jumper over playsuit bathroom break troubles, but now my fluoro coral-codings have been exhausted.  Time for a changeroo.

knit & playsuit – Mango (last worn here & here)
shoe – Aldo
glasses – Mango
watch – Calvin Klein, bracelet – Reiss
bag – Becksondergaard, charm – Thai market

leash – Ancol, coat – model’s own c/o Infindigo

Bikini mixer

asos-3

Been having a lot of fun with the Asos Bikini Mixer this week.  It’s a little like one of those old school books little girls had where you could mix and match what the girl wore by flipping the pages.  Just like that except she’s hot and semi-naked…

My ‘bootylicious’ (erm) recommendation was for the 50’s halter top and the loopside pant – I switched the colours up to white and, you guessed it, stripes.  So now I’m just on the fence a little on whether to bite the financial bullet on this, which is undoubtedly holiday perfect ,or whether to go for the completely tanning unfriendly, but very cool, high necked, long sleeved bikini

Which would you go for?  Or have you seen some other incredible bikini that you would like to share with me?  Please…

Lady rock

Thankfifi- Lady rock-6

Friday night drinks alfresco with my boys – doesn’t get much better than that in my books!  The universe soon evened things up with a day of torrential downpour on Saturday though…

Still really loving this front split skirt and ventured well outwith my age appropriate boundaries to have a half hearted play with the cropped tee.  What do you think?

tee – New Look (similar here)
skirt – Asos (last worn here)
boot – Zara (last worn here)
necklace – Stella & Dot, watch – Calvin Klein
rings – Boticca
leather belt – H&M

leash – Ancol, coat – model’s own c/o Infindigo

Bermuda

Thankfifi- Bermuda-7

Bermudas are in (I’m saying so).  And I’m happy.  They’re not a skirt and they’re not shorts as such because they’re long but the bermuda does share the best qualities of both – the universally flattering length coupled with the ability to cartwheel, should you wish, without the fear of exposing.  Win win.

Happy Friday everyone – go buy bermudas.x

tee – Primark
short – Zara
sandal – Zara (love these)
glasses – Mango, necklace – Stella & Dot
leather bag – Autograph @ M&S
blazer – H&M

leash – Ancol, coat – model’s own c/o Infindigo
