Velo - Zalando Great Plains Skirt

By Gem - 10:27:00
I really like this look that I wore yesterday, it's quite smart and more thought out than normal. I've been looking for a blouse to layer under jumpers and have the collar poking out for ages and this ASOS one fits the bill perfectly. I had also just come back from the hair dresses so my hair is looking much better than normal....

Asos Floral Wrap Dress

By Gem - 11:11:00
This is becoming one of my favourite dresses. I don't have to think about what to pair it with, I just throw it on with some black shoes and a cardigan and I'm ready for work. I picked it up in the ASOS sale for about £18 just after Christmas and it has already had plenty of wear. Dress: ASOS Boots: Blink c/o...

The Making of Harry Potter

By Gem - 12:33:00
Yesterday I went to The Making of Harry Potter Studio Tour (sorry for the twitter and instagram spam) and I had the best day out ever, well since last weekend at Norbury Manor anyway. I'm a huge fan of the books which I started to read when I was 11, way back in 1999 now which makes me feel a little old. We're...

Tigers Never Change Their Stripes

By Gem - 09:00:00
As the title state; tigers never change its stripes, the same could essentially be said about us humans. Humankind haven’t turned the Breton stripe trend down since it first was introduced by French navy seaman’s more than 100 years ago. What is it about these stripes that make us keeping going back to them? It is one of them fabulous basic pieces that...

Team Norbury

By Gem - 10:58:00
I spent the weekend with some lovely blogger friends at Norbury Manor in Derbyshire. A relaxing weekend away was just what I needed and I had such a wonderful time. I was more than a little sad to leave and had a full on strop when I returned to work after such a perfect trip. I do wish all weekends could be like...

Pepperberry - Lady of the Manor

By Gem - 12:34:00
This weekend I visited Norbury Manor with some of my blogging friends and thought the pretty garden of the house would make a great location to take some snaps of my new favourite dress. I will do a full post about my weekend in a couple of days but for now I have some outfit photos to share with you. This dress was...

Breton Stripes

By Gem - 12:00:00
This outfit is very different from what I normally wear, for a start I'm not wearing black tights which I live in. I always love how Liv styles a classic striped top but I don't own any trousers so I paired mine with a black pencil skirt and my favourite shoes. I think this is a fairly chic look for work for me...

Introducing Blargle Fargle

By Gem - 23:52:00
I've got something a little different for you on here today. I wanted to introduce you to Rai from Blargle Fargle, one of my favourite bloggers. I think Rai's blog was one of the first ones I ever subscribed to and I always make sure I read her latest posts. I have also been  lucky enough to hang out with Rai on a...

Parklife

Just a brief post today to share some of my party photos with you from the weekend. I've been planning and looking forward to this 90s themed party for ages and I had a blast. Most of my favourite people were there and it got a bit carried away with all the decorations and ordered 100 glowsticks from eBay... The party was inspired...

Things We Lost in the Fire

By Gem - 12:33:00
I've been wearing a variation of this outfit to work for about two months now. I've ditched the super girly and floral dresses and I'm loving a more casual look, it makes getting dressed up on weekends feel a bit more special. The skirt is a new purchase which I've been lusting after it for months, looking at it in store and online and...

Bad Blood

By Gem - 16:32:00
This week has been very busy again, I'm really starting to miss working part time. I feel like there's never enough hours in the day and taking any photos for the blog is becoming impossible because my official photographer (my reluctant brother) also has a full time job now. Time to invest in a tripod? Enough of the moaning though, it's been very...
