New (Old) Additions















Apologies for the long silence, Paris unfortunately signalled the last few days of freedom before end of semester madness descended, but I thought I’d quickly share some second-hand bits and pieces I bought back in February.

A gingham smock dress that saw me through what appears to have been a very fleeting dip into spring.
A blue shirt for a slightly subtler alternative to double denim, which I’m still not brave enough to attempt.
Finally, a leather rucksack that came very handy in Paris. Although the small bag/big coat combo didn’t quite go to plan, hands free made snacking on French treats a whole lot easier.

   Anyone else found some good second-hand buys recently?

Hats off to Keira

My love affair with Keira Knightley continues this week after she was pictured at a charity Gala in London wearing her previously recycled Chanel wedding dress out in public again. With stars usually vying for attention in the latest pieces off the catwalks, Keira demonstrates beautifully how a simple classic can be updated using clever accessories.

On her wedding day Keira paired the dress with a little tweed Chanel jacket, ballet pumps and Ray-ban sunglasses, while Tuesday night saw the turn of gold heels and a beaded sheer top worn underneath the strapless bodice.

Breaking the only-wear-it-once 'rule', Keira takes effortless cool (and sustainable chic) to the next level.
