Boho summer

So here we are on the 1st June and it's looking like summer. Last week I was feeling sad at the prospect of packing away the last of my winter togs; the brogues, the fancy tights, the cashmere sweaters . And today I'm in my element, sporting sandals and light cotton separates. It makes me realise how much we're living in the moment. Yes, I can look forward to holidays and the like, but whatever season we're in, I'm committed, grounded, enjoying where I am. We human beings are adaptable creatures eh?


I'm delighted that the 1st June is stepping up to the plate, giving it's very best. And by the same token, so am I. My motto is never more true than today when I'm really having fun with colour. Orange makes me feel vibrant, alive and full of energy. This positive energy has carried me through a busy day at work, interjected by a lunchtime swim, and then back to work for a hectic afternoon session in the gallery. I'm so lucky; I love my life.







The jacket came from eBay last year and brings with it a real sense of joy. It makes me smile, and so does this boho sequined and mirror speckled skirt which I think came from Monsoon, many, many moons ago. The sandals are from New Look (these are similar), and the little tee shirt hails from Primark. The armful of jangly bangles were a charity shop scoop, the rose gold watch is by Michael Kors, the rose gold bangle is by Kate Spade. The pink ring and pink bangle were both gifts. Sunglasses are by Quay Australia.

Please keep an eye out for your favourite summer item this month and do let me know if you'd like to see it, styled differently, again. I'll feature the piece as your idea on my monthly feature "As suggested by..." and give you a name check too. Join in the fun, add a comment or just email me with your thoughts.

  2. Orange makes me happy, too! It's not one of my best colors, but I do find ways to sneak it into my wardrobe (along with bright yellow).

    Fabulous skirt, and I love the top! Such pretty colors!

  3. Orange is one of my happy colours too! I love this vibrantly-patterned jacket with the casual skirt. Very nice. I have to admit, I'm envious of your mid-day swim! What a luxury!

    1. Mid-day swims are surely the perks of living surrounded by clear blue sea, and all within easy stirking distance. Cycle to the best beach, swim and cycle home for a snack can all be acheived within an hour. Lucky me, I know.

  4. Lovely vibrant colours and definitely a boho vibe! You do look summery- it's been a horrible, cold, wet few days here - certainly not sandal weather and people are wearing scarves and heavy coats!

    1. We usually sit here in the West Country watching with envy as the rest of the country bakes in gorgeous sunshine, so it makes a changes for it to be the other way. I've packed all the winter garb away, so fingers crossed this will stay x

    1. London usually fares much better than us, so this does make a refreshing change. Glad you like the punch of colours x

  7. Orange is such a positive color. Sunsets and flowers and fruit and butterflies, tra la. I love your boho skirt. Where I live the weather stays within a 20 degree range all year round. It is quite disconcerting in that we pretty much wear the same thing all the time. I never know what time of the year it is. So confusing for a native Northerner such as myself. I haven't worn tights or gloves in YEARS!!

    1. Connie if you're trying to make me feel jealous, then that worked x I wouldn't miss not wearing tights and gloves ever again. Sounds like a very civilised climate - am decidedly envious now. Have a wonderful weekend x
