Innocent Un-plugged Festival and digital detox
How much of a slave of your phone are you? Me, you ask? A huge one, I found out.
Our lovely friends at Innocent Drinks challenged me to a digital detox over their Unplugged festival, which took place over the late May bank holiday in the beautiful St. Clere’s Estate Pinetum and Arboretum.

Emma-Kate Francis Calla Lily Pendant from JewelStreet
I’m a huge fan of pearls; always been – when I was a little girl, I had the prettiest pearl earrings and ring.
Fast forward many years, they are still part of my wardrobe, and the latest addition, Emma-Kate Francis Calla Lily necklace, from JewelStreet, is definitely the star of the lot.
Preview: “Shoes: Pleasure and Pain” at the V&A London
When I heard my beloved V&A was going to open an exhibition called “Shoes: Pleasure and Pain” I was filled with excitement, after all, it focuses around my magic word: shoes.
Not only that, it looks at footwear extremes, a subject, in fact, I am particularly fascinated by. On top of it, these 250 pairs, spanning 2,000 years, 20 countries and 70 designers, chart cultural, sociological and historical significance of shoes, as well as their power of transformation, which I can personally vouch for. And obsession.
You can read my squees of excitement here when I found out about the exhibition – so you can only imagine the extra loud squee for me being at the preview and seeing it all three days before it opened to the public.
Review: Dove Soft Feel deodorant
Dove has been my deodorant of choice for quite sometime now, as I am very keen on the idea of using a deodorant that cares for your skin on top of protecting you.
And with the launch of Soft Feel, Dove is very unlikely to lose its crown with me!
Dani’s Little Book of Fashion: That 70’s show
This summer, the 70s trend is all over the place – I am actually get to the point I am getting a bit bored of it. Still, it is a pretty trend and very wearable, with elements that are easy to incorporate in our wardrobes.
For this Little Book of Fashion, I created this modern all-in 70s look, with flares, a gypsy top, platforms, fringes and a floppy hat.
Magnum Pink and Black Regent Street takeover party
Magnum ice cream took over regent Street in London once again. This year the party was bigger and better – not only they painted the street pink and black, but they also lit up the London Eye in one of the ice-creams new flavours’ colours.
JORD Sidney wood watch
Confession: I hadn’t worn a watch in about 20 years. And JORD changed that completely when they sent me their beautiful Sidney wood watch.
What I’ve been wearing: 05/06/15
While we wait for the summer (seriously, what is going on? Was yesterday summer, and that’s it?!), I am trying to mix and match my potential spring wardrobe with some much needed warmth. Tights, capes and even coats are still making an appearance…
I like posting outfits as I usually seek inspiration and ideas from people out there – obviously, we all have our own individual style, but it it lovely to see how different people adapt, transform and create trends, so I keep sharing my ideas with you!
My style is quite fluid – I mix a lot of stuff and seek inspiration in various eras; some days I am super girly and the other, boyish. And that’s they beauty of style – we can be whatever we want.
Outfit #1
Loving the co-ords, still! Louisa cream floral print wrap top and cigarette trousers co-ord from Pretty Little Thing, black court shoes from Christian Louboutin (Pigalle), rings from H&M, Forever 21, Primark.
