Suited... for a Hampshire wedding

Fine views over the Hampshire countryside en route to a friend's weekend wedding in the charming town of Alresford. Suited in Max Mara wool/silk pinstripes (purchased at Paraphernalia), heeled in my grosgrain Russell & Bromley platforms and hatted in an ironic miniature straw topper from Claire's vintage and retro pop-up in Kirkdale, Sydenham, I took several breathers... midst the greenery. The jewellery: my vintage dazzlers and a pearl knuckle duster from the South Seas. The only colour to be found is in my yellow Osprey bag and matching toenails. The sunglasses are by Chanel and quirk it all up - every time!

Shocking pink in South Ken!

Forget shocking pink in India... the place to wear it is in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and to be exact, Carluccio's, to match the colourful fare. The simplest pink linen trousers from Ally Capellino find favour with my funky vintage zip-up in a mad pink, man-made fibre by a label called Gabey, New York. An Osprey shoulder-bag vies for attention with an equally-yellow pair of summer wedges.The pink string necklace was bought in the Channel Islands and allegedly belonged to a showgirl who danced on the Paris stage. The prosecco is perfectly Italian... and so are the Roberto Cavalli sunnies!

The colours of summer

Popping into my neighbourhood farm shop, Franklins, for some summer 'necessaries' such as tangy tomato relish and delicious dulce de leche. Today, in a simple no-label, linen '60s turquoise shift, bought recently at vintage store: Mabel, Melbourne Grove, East Dulwich. Accessoried with pops of yellow in my Osprey bag and summer wedges. The unusual scarab necklace was a reasonable (and unexpected) find from St Christopher's Hospice on Lordship Lane - today!
