Red skirt





skirt - Uniqlo / jumper - H&M / watch - Swatch

Eek. First foray in front of the camera. New-found respect for all fashion bloggers; outfit photos are really hard! Especially when there's winter lighting issues and you don't like your hair and you don't have a camera remote control so getting a good shot is a long & slow process. I think it's good to see the person behind the blog once in a while though, so here I am.

This skirt was a sales purchase from Uniqlo and it fits like a dream. It moves nicely as well - all kind of floaty and puffing out when I spin around in a circle. Block colours are the best - I'd love to replicate the wardrobe of The Hour's Bel Rowley. After lazing around in trousers for far too long I'm trying to make an effort to get back into tights, dresses and skirts, which is great until my legs start quivering with the cold.

Proper winter weather is fun but I'm relieved to get the feeling in my toes back. This week's plans include baking one hundred brownies (another commission), sketching (the cold snap took away all motivation to do anything but huddle), practising calligraphy with my new nibs, booking tickets to see the Manet exhibition, making marmalade with Seville oranges, and celebrating the end of January. What will you be getting up to?

  1. Watching the tennis today, I love the fact that Novak Djokavic's kit is made/sponsored by Uniqlo. I expect to see him in some brightly coloured bargain cashmere polo neck next! The skirt is lovely. I've got a similar black jersey one. I always feel like a 1940s ice skater in it.

    This week I'm back in school on teaching placement. I'm hoping to survive! x

  5. I made marmalade once. Two huge kilner jars of it for my mum's birthday and mothers day present. It's so easy and so tasty :) I love your room, especially your Miffy poster !! M xo

  7. Erm, that sounds like the most ideal week ever. I really am quite jealous! And you are beautiful - I've said it before but your hair is amazing! Good for you for being brave enough to be in front of the camera. I'm not sure I've EVER put a photo of myself on my blog. Perhaps I should change that?!
