Tally-ho!

I'm temporarily living back at home with my parents and, as they live in the countryside, I thought I'd fit in with the locals and don a flat cap. Luckily my boyfriend's dad is a complete hoarder and has a collection of at least 50. After much consideration I chose this camel-coloured classic flat cap from Littlewoods. I love it and wear it as much as possible - I must get at least one compliment off a stranger every day.

My favourite outfit of late.


My lovely boyfriend bought me a yellow, knitted jumper for Christmas and this has formed the basis of my new favourite outfit.

I'd never really considered yellow before as I thought it would make my faced look washed out, but my brother bought me a black vintage neck scarf with a red and yellow pattern on, so I use that to make sure the yellow isn't next to my face.

I wear it out and about with my red coat - the mustard yellow colour looks amazing next to the bright red - and then add leopard print pumps and a faux snakeskin light brown handbag.

I think the whole thing looks eye-catching and classy without being too try hard.
