Holiday from home

So am about four and a half minutes from leaving home for my holiday. Sun time fun time - i actually can't wait, so next time i'm posting here will be with palm-tree laden snaps from the plains of Kenya and the beaches of Zanzibar.

Will leave you with a few pics of my London bedroom which i'm just about to leave behind.

Have an awesome couple weeks,

...where i will be attempting to dress like these....

Happy days.

Pumped for sun

Sooo, only just discovered these Hermes x Vans. Seven months too late.
How did i miss them? i don't know but i'm gutted i did because before i discovered they were ancient news i was planning my holiday wardrobe around them.

Heading to Africa in roughly 16 and a half days (not excited or anything) and seeing as i'll be doing 4 days of safari when the bugs get so excited by colour you can't even wear navy (outfits must be strictly beige - gweat) i thought a nice pair of patterned puppies like these might add a little interest to my bush wardrobe. But non. Damn.

And whilst i'm on a Vans devastation push, i also missed these.
By a year and a half. Way to keep on top of things.

#todayimwearing

1. Coat - The Kooples
2. Scarf - Cos
3. Bomber jacket - Topshop
4. Liberty print Nikes
5. Hat - Henrik Vibskov at Goodstead
6. Vest - T by Alexander Wang at theOutnet

Look how well i'm doing at more colour...

Plus how do we feel about the hat? One part Burberry Prorsum spring/summer 2012, one part Santa's Little Helper... a questionable mix but it's just too cute.

Sara Brajovic vs The Coveteur

(the coveteur)

Writer and model Sara Brajovic seems like a girl after my own heart. I love her house, her clothes, her stuff.

But most of all, i love her silver car.
