My favourite outfit of the moment.

Just thought I'd share my current fave. Now it's getting warmer, I'm trying to step away from the wool coat and leather boots and here's the result. The dress and the head band are the only things from this season, the rest is from previous years. Well done to economical old me.

Rejoice, stange-headed people!

Ever since I was a young girl I've always been envious of girls with lovely head bands on. There have been many head band phases over the years: Alice, zigzag, pretty metal ones with butterflies on, even those jersey sport bands, but I've never been able to wear them because my head is a strange shape and they just slide off. Annoying.

But all is not lost, I have discovered the answer. While browsing in River Island I came across a 50s-style head band which is made of a red scarf material with pretty hearts on. However, this head band is different from the rest. This head band has a metal wire sewn into it so you can mould it around your strange-shaped head and once you tie a bow at the top it stays in place. I immediately bought it and can confirm it works, even on me...and my head. Et voila, no more head band envy.

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.
