Night At The Museum

I am heading off to a party at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Not too sure how much of the museum we will have access to as the party is after hours. Hopefully the gift shop will be open, it has some of the most amazing items to choose from, especially the completely original jewellery. For the party I am wearing a East necklace wrapped with pearls, my husbands Primark shirt, Charity shop and boots from Top Shop.

Lets hope it is not like the movie.

I thought I used a lot of buttons


It was the most amazing day in London spent at the Pearly Kings and Queens Harvest Festival Celebration. I am well know for adding a substantial amount of buttons to t-shirts in order to create an original 'Rachael Creation (RC)' as you will see in future posts. But these fine young men have put me to shame.

Happy Monday

Only a couple of days until Heather my dear friend from Canada arrives for a visit. So much to do today so I can take the time off and hang out with her. To celebrate today I am wearing an Army Jacket bought over 20 years ago, when I originally travel throughout Europe. An vintage skirt found at Oxfam online, a H&M top and boots bought at a train station in Switzerland. Bring on Wednesday.

Deal Or No Deal

A weekend away with the husband included 3 castles and a roman villa. This photo was taken at Deal Castle, one of the several castles along the coastline of Kent and my favourite of the weekend. Being that castles are never the warmest of places, I am wearing a B.Young Coat, Phase Eight wrap dress and harem trousers I bought in Thailand.

The Day After The Tube Strike

My meetings in London yesterday had to change because of the Tube strike. It wasn't all bad because I was able to complete a few articles and get an Editor off my back. For a day of writing I am wearing a Next top, this amazing vintage 1970's skirt found in a charity shop , Matalan sandals and a bag From Wallis.

Did a bit of playing with photo gallery to edit this photo. Not so sure about the whole leaning look, but it adds a bit of interest to an otherwise bland setting.

Summer Is Still Here

The final long weekend of the summer and the sun is out in all its glory. We have house guests arriving in a week so it was a day of DIY shops and minor repairs. My sunshine outfit includes a top from Zara and a Boxfresh dress worn backwards and as a skirt.

The Nights Are Getting Cool

The nights are getting cool, so I need something to keep my shoulders warm when I am out with the girls tonight and nothing could be more effective or look better than this 'wrap type thing' I bought in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The rest of the outfit involves a Top Shop t-shirt and a skirt created by my own fair hands.
