Partycore

It's the season... for popping out to parties. Going for totally different looks, whether it's a tie-dye loose silk top, from Paraphernalia, and a pair of vintage Jaeger pants, partied up by vintage yellow earrings, silver jewellery and my only sporran! Or enjoying a few shades of grey in a silk Stills top and chiffon floor-length skirt by Lynn Lugo, and my daughter's flirty waistcoast by River Island. Jewellery is piled on for drama: chain necklace, pearl ring, silver bangles, studded leather bracelet and trusty Angel Jackson bag. The latter is starting to look magnificently wasted... but not this party animal!

Up at the Palace

A fine, late afternoon for a march about the park in Crystal Palace, wearing my latest purchase: a beautifully-pleated old military coat of little provenance, bought from 'The Good Fairy', Katherine, who never had cause to wear it. I opted for comfortable InWear skinnies, a Roland Mouret jumper, some biker boots from Harrods and a sporran to lend a flourish. The latter (Scottish Gaelic for purse) graced my brother's wedding in Aberdeenshire.
