Easter weekend




Hurrah for Easter weekend!

Not only is it the weekend, but it's Easter weekend, time for guilt-free chocolate indulgence. Yay! 




Daffodils and Easter chicks have been the colour inspiration for today's chilled weekend look. The lime green faux suede jacket was a Primark purchase a couple of years ago and yet is still looking fresh and rather funky too. 




I teamed the jacket up with this neon bright clutch, a second hand purchase also from years ago. I love the textured bubble effect. The floral blouse with lovely yellow daffodils was from M&S.




The wide legged Diesel jeans were recently featured (see here) and I'm afraid you may be seeing a lot of them over the next little while. They're such an easy to wear style - it's a great weekend look, don't you think?




I've had these grey platform trainers for two years and would you believe it - this is the first time I've worn them? It's shocking how deep this stream of new finds runs eh? I bought them online in the Zara sale one January and somehow never got around to wearing them. I'm pleased to say that they're really comfy!






I've taken blue as my accent colour for accessories; the rings are both pre-loved and the belt is also second hand, gifted to me.




These pretty floral edged sunglasses are by Tu at Sainsbury's. A sale purchase from ages ago - no surprise there then! They're a bit Dame Edna Everage don't you think? Hilarious!




I'm so enjoying having the structure of work again now, most of all because it's helping me to redefine weekend wear from working outfits. I've been trying out new combinations at work to check how much stretch and bend room they have; I've been busy hanging art this week - you can see that on our Gallery Tresco Instagram page here
It's only a week until we have guests on the island when I'll open the gallery on an appointment-only basis.




I'm going to apologise in advance to say that the blog may be a few days out of kilter now as my camera broke the other day and I'm still waiting for a new one. There was a terminal tripod accident when a gust of wind blew the whole lot over, smashing the lens. It happened in a flash without me having any time to catch it. I ought to have had a weight attached to steady it, especially as I've had a close call once before, but I thought I was tucked in out of the wind. I wish I'd been squirreling photos away for this eventuality, but alas I haven't! The postman only comes to the island three days a week and sadly it didn't arrive today, so there'll be no feature on Monday. Fingers crossed, I'll be back on Tuesday!


In the meantime, enjoy your Easter eggs !

  1. Oh, no, so sorry to hear about the camera accident, Anna! I have similar fears about my little camera balanced on the 4th floor railing when I do my stair pics - a random gust of wind, and down it goes four floors to the driveway! I hasn't happened yet...

    I LOVE the bright lime green and neon in this outfit - it just makes me SO happy! Brava to you for your brights, and glad to hear you're getting back into the work groove. It'll be many months yet before we'll have a full office.

    Happy Easter, and don't worry, I'll be back whenever you post! Hugs, Sheila

    1. Thanks for that Sheila. I've learnt my lesson now and am back enlisting the help of friends to take outdoors shots when the conditions are too windy for the tripod.

      These colours are so cheery aren't they? Glad to hear from you again and hope you had a lovely Easter!

  4. Sorry to hear about your camera Anna.

    Your jacket is just thee most beautiful colour and matches your choice of jeans and colourful blouse. Very uplifting and Spring-like.
    I bought the same M &S blouse pre-loved from eBay some years ago and have always worn it with plain jeans. You have given me an idea to upgrade my wearing of it. Thank you for the inspiration.

    I hope you enjoyed a lovely Easter weekend. X

    1. It seems that we have quite a few items the same Phyllis - what jolly good taste we do have, hahaha!

      I'm pleased that this outfit has yet again inspired you to try out a new combination. I do love yellow in the springtime - it is indeed very uplifting.

      Hope you're keeping well x

  7. That's happened to me before Anna. Camera in the wind! Hear the song? Haha. A royal pain in the bum. I look forward to the next post though and you're looking fabulous as per xx

    1. I suppose all you can do is learn from that lesson Laurie? I was totally gutted, especially as I had to buy a new washing machine at the exact same time, ouch!

  8. Oh goodness, NO!!!! POor camera! That happened to me once in my garden and I had to send it off to have its mechanism fixed!
    This outfit is all kinds of marvellous! I love the jeans/denim trousers- they are my favourite shape of trouser- they look like they aren't stiff denim, but more of a softer material which makes them even better!
    I really like the combination with the lime goodness of the jacket! x

    1. The first time it happened I too managed to send it away to get fixed, but this time the damage was terminal :( However, it has spurred me on to getting a decent set up so that it won't happen again - I now have a portable weight that hangs below the tripod making it stable and almost impossible to blow over.
      And yes, the denim is soft and floppy and these are indeed all kinds of wonderful x
