For the next instalment in my "Wardrobe Staples" series I'm going to be talking all about Gingham. While this print is seriously on-trend at the moment, it's one that I have loved for years (and I'm ecstatic that it's now so much easier to find!)
Although it may - to some - have an association with picnic rugs and table cloths, I really feel that it's a truly classic print, and if you choose the right piece it will become a true wardrobe staple that can be worn for years to come.
Wardrobe Staples: The Overalls - How to make them work for you!
Today I'm starting a little series where each week I'll be talking about a staple piece in my wardrobe. I love the whole "Capsule Wardrobe" concept, but as someone with quite a playful style, I do find that sometimes the standard "staples" can get a little boring. I thought I'd share my own staples with you, to show that a more minimal wardrobe doesn't have to be boring! If your style is a little on the quirkier side, if you love colour and are wondering how to make it work in a capsule wardrobe, or even if you're just a little bored of your regular, "safe" staples then this series will be for you!
Read more5 Books To Inspire Your Wedding (and Honeymoon) Planning
Today I'm sharing a few books (as well as a magazine) that I've been reading during my wedding planning. There is so much amazing inspiration and information available online, but sometimes the craziness of Pinterest. the constant scrolling through Instagram and the huge array of wedding blogs to choose from can become a little overwhelming. Sometimes you need to step away from the digital world and there is something so nice (and much more relaxing) about holding a physical book in your hands.
These books are absolutely beautiful, but are also filled with well curated information that I found to actually be very helpful in my planning. As well as just making gorgeous coffee table decor ;). While you could get by just fine without them, if you're a book lover like myself, picking up one of these is a real treat and they've definitely inspired me during my planning!

My Style Diary - A Floral Dress, A Fun Saturday and a Few Wedding Updates
Heya!
It's been a while since I've done a good old "My Style Diary" post, so today I wanted to share an outfit as well as a few fun photos from last weekend.
I'm so excited for the weather to warm up soon and for Spring to properly arrive (I am dying to break out my bright summery clothes!) so last Saturday I thought I'd ease into Spring dressing and pull out this daisy-printed dress. It's an old favourite from Jay Jays that I've had for years, and is such a versatile piece through all seasons. The print isn't crazy bright so it works even when the sun isn't properly shining (I sometimes feel a little weird wearing really bright colours when the sky is still grey and gloomy), it layers well with jumpers, and it's short enough to be worn with over-the-knee boots. Pretty much perfect for those in-between seasons.
Read more6 Tips for Finding the Perfect White T-Shirt
The quest for the perfect white t-shirt... It's something I'm sure many of you are familiar with. The search for that elusive piece of clothing, one of the most basic items, that, if found will make your whole wardrobe more functional and versatile.
Basic pieces may not be the most exciting thing to shop for, but they really are the core pieces that build the foundation of your wardrobe (be it capsule or otherwise).
Seeing as finding the perfect piece can be like looking for a needle in a haystack, I thought I’d take you through my criteria and the process I go through when looking for the perfect basic pieces, in the hopes that it can help you out. My shopping motto of “By Less, Choose Well” very much applies here, and I hope this can inspire you to follow this too!
