Today's Monday Inspiration over at Two Birds is Michele Trachtenberg, I recognise her from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I have to admit that I don't own a denim jacket or anything denim - other than jeans - because, dare I say it?, I don't like them. I decided that today would be the perfect day to debut my aztec maxi dress. It's way...

Bloggers Do It Better is back and this time the theme is coral and mint, which gives me the perfect excuse to wear these coral jeans for a second time this week (there you go Sherin, you said I should wear them more often)... Pop over to Pretty Shiny Sparkly to see the other bloggers outfits. What colours are you wearing together? ...

I know we're now well into June now but I couldn't not finish Flying Saucer's May Challenge. Being a Graphic Designer I live by deadlines and it irks me that I missed this one. I have never missed a deadline professionally and it's the meeting of these during the month of May that left me with little time for anything outside of work...

Heck! Monday has come around quickly again, why do the weekends seem so short in comparison to the working week? Anyway, Monday means Two Birds Inspiration Monday and this week Aubrey Plaza (no, I don't know who she is either) and her fabulous orange jeans are our inspiration.

So, here I am wearing neon, albeit a teeny tiny bit. I found this necklace on eBay, it's an ordinary necklace sprayed with yellow neon paint. I...

Posting two of these in a row just tells me that I've been slacking when it comes to posting recently! Here is my take on this week's Two Birds Inspiration Monday, Kate Bosworth, remember to check out the others! In an effort to use my bag collection more I picked this ASOS clutch today - it stops me carrying around untold amounts of...

Jenna Dewan-Tatum is the inspiration this week over at Two Birds Boutique. Sadly I had no need for sunglasses as, in true British style, the sun refused to shine on a Bank Holiday weekend. But what a fabulous weekend it was with all of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations! I hung Union Jack bunting around my garden and BBQ'd despite the rain, we ate...

Okay, so I didn't enter the competition as I dropped my camera and broke the lens two days before the competition closed. No camera, no outfit shots. The competition rules were simple - "All you have to do is create an outfit which contains at least ethical piece, that could be something from your favourite ethical fashion brand, vintage or charity shop or...
