Five Favs...


I drafted this post just before labour started and now my feet are back to normal I'm thinking that I should get one of these pairs to celebrate.  As the Louboutins are out of the question I'll probably go with the River Island pair.

The more my feet swell in these last stages of pregnancy and therefore the less shoes I can fit into the more obsessed I am becoming over summer sandals…here are a few of my favourites that I would love to rock while pushing Baby O in his buggy when he arrives!

Make A Statement...


With clothing options being slightly limited for me at the moment jewellery is become increasingly important as a way to zhush up my maternity basics…so I got a bit inspired and made a couple of pairs…

Turquoise and Red Bead Chandelier Earrings
Gold Chain and Vintage Red Bead Tassel Earrings

This salad was inspired by the Rainbow Salad I had at The Rum Kitchen last weekend and is super easy to make.   

Peel and dice a butternut squash, place in a baking tray drizzle with olive oil and crush over a clove of garlic, give the tray a good shake so all the cubes of butternut squash are covered.  Roast in the oven for about 50mins (or until soft) at 200’C.  Once cooked, remove from the oven and set aside to cool.  While the butternut squash is cooling chop your red pepper and avocado into cubes and rinse a tin of chick peas, add these to a large bowl along with your salad leaves and toss with your salad dressing (I made a quick dressing from olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper).  Add in your cooled butternut squash and diced mango and if you fancy it a few cashew nuts and you are ready to go.  I managed to forget the add the mango until we were halfway through the meal…opps!

I'm Singing In The Rain...


As there doesn’t seem to be any let up in the rain coming any time soon I thought I should embrace it and up my wet weather fashion game and what perfect timing as Hunter Original made their debut at London Fashion Week this week (you can watch the show here) .  I’m not convinced about the high heeled wellies, but with Alasdhair Willis now at the helm as Creative Director the brand is going from strength to strength.

I would like to add these two pairs from the current collection to my wardrobe

And The Winner Is...


This year was the first year in a while that I wasn’t at the BAFTAs, but it didn’t stop me swooning over some of the gorgeous dresses on the red carpet and dreaming up what I would have worn had I been there!

My winning look of the night has to be Lupita Nyong’o in Dior Couture, the colour is perfect and really pops against the red carpet.

 My highly commended go to Naomie Harris in Gucci, great colour again and perfectly simple and elegant
