Wild Leaves

As the campfire's burning

As the fire ignites

All the moments turning

In the stormy bright

Well enough the churning

Well enough believe

The coming and the going

Wild wild leaves

Saddle Up

When I was little I absolutely loved Calamity Jane. I think I identified with her because of her, well...calamities!  (I was, and still am, a tad bit clumsy!)  And even now I find her an appealing character, not because of her rootin tootin storylines but due unwittingly to her fashion sense!  And it seems I'm not alone,  A/W shows brought with them the come back of the Wild West in the form of Miss Marant's tassles, prairie shirts and new take on the cowboy boot. So above for your viewing pleasure is how I've interpreted the micro trend for the modern day Calamity Jane.

 Look to your horses - we ride at dawn!

Hazy Days

All this gorgeous sunshine has inspired me to go bohemian and channel some 70's hedonism.  I'm not normally a 'dress' person, trousers are my go-to staple, but this crocheted, floaty piece was found in the Free People sale and at only £30 I couldn't resist.  I love it's relaxed feel and am planning on wearing it to a friend's festival wedding in September. So if you get a break at lunch today head outside, take off those shoes and embrace a little sun-worship!
