Lace is more...

(Outfit: Top, Skirt and Sandals - Topshop. Bag - River Island)

I admit it. I wear too much Topshop. But when you're a part-time employee and you get a discount, it'd be rude not to abuse it, right? Right. So when I visited my sister and her beau (not bae) last weekend in sunny Fareham, I thought I'd give this outfit a spin for dinner and drinks. I wore head-to-toe Topshop with the exception of this amazing fluffball of a bag from River Island. (Who needs a Cat?!...)

I was looking at this lacey/crochet top for a while, (it comes in navy blue too), but I had no idea what to wear with it as it seems a little risqué, yet the back is a jersey material so I thought a slip might get a bit uncomfortable. However, after much thought I decided that for a girl as pale as myself with as much in the boob department as two aspirins on an ironing board, a skin-coloured bra would suffice as it didn't seem so see-through that way! (Or at least in the light I was standing in! haha). I love the 60's feel that it has to it with the floral woven pattern and the high neck and I decided to team it with a worn-black denim button-up skirt and some sandals for a daytime-in-to-nighttime look.

Enjoy the sunshine this weekend!

EP 3 PREP

Hi all! I hope everyone had a great weekend and those beginning-of-the-week-blues are fast becoming a distant memory! I can't believe that we are already very nearly in February! How can such a long and grey month pass us by so quickly?! But hey, it's not all bad -  This week Orla Kiely released her new collection with Clark's, and Paul and Ringo performed marvellously at The Grammy's. Oh, and Valentines Day is fast approaching, so things are certainly on the up for February!

I had a pretty great end to the week, we were at Kensal Town Studios in Ladbroke Grove on Thursday and Friday laying down some demo tracks and ideas in preparation for my 3rd EP. I always really love being in the studio, it really is my favourite environment to be in and I always feel really inspired when I come away. We put down the bare bones for 4 new tracks which will hopefully all feature on the 3rd EP. I'm really excited about how they're sounding and the ideas that are coming to us for ways to improve/parts to add etc! I already can't wait for you to hear them! But let's get EP 2 out there first! :) Here is the video for a song called I Got You which will feature on my 2nd EP!

Emma took lots of photos throughout our 2 days at Kensal Town, (a lot of which are still sitting in my camera waiting to be developed), but here are some polaroids that she took...

 

And for those of you who know me well, you'll know that I am an EXTREMELY fussy eater (understatement of the year!), but there is a super sweet Spanish lady that cooks lunch at Kensal Town so last week I tried Salmon and loved it! It's a miracle for sure! So maybe I'll start to get all experimental and try some other different things very soon...WHO KNOWS!

Until next time, lots of love xxxxx
