The Flawless Tee Lazy Weekend Outfit
It had been a big weekend. I let my hair dry in a pony tail and waited for the time to come for us to leave the house. Popcorn for dinner with a movie would have been my preference, but there were places to go and people to see. I reached into my suitcase from…

People of the pool
In the pool, there is no perfect. There are arms for pulling, legs for kicking, lungs for breathing, hands for paddling, feet for walking, eyes for seeing. Some stronger than others, some with more laps under their belt, but all just doing their thing. Freckled skin, pale skin and tanned, side by side with water…

How to sports luxe: Puma, 17 Sundays, ASOS & Me
When people describe my style as a little bit sports luxe I have to smile, really I’m just a girl who loves sneakers and jogger pants. I’m slouchy spice. But then an item or two comes along, and when I put them together, I think, ooh I get it. They were right. Today is one…

Summer Sunday Session

Stripes, stripes and a longline waistcoat
When it comes to stripes, I just can’t get enough of them. I’m team stripes and the stripe’ier the better. So on Saturday afternoon I donned my mismatched stripes and my new boohoo plus white vest, and we went driving. Mr Suger and I like to do that sometimes; have Hybrid, will travel and all…

Switching gears: summer mode
I have well and truly switched gears and entered my, meh who cares summer phase early this year. Kicked back and soaking in the heat, weekends by the pool, laughing and playing will do that to a girl. So when it comes time to get into summer mode all it really takes are some swimmers…

You are a feminist if…
I was in a conversation in the month leading up to Emma Watson’s speech at the United Nations, you know the one, right? THAT ONE. I said that of course I was a feminist. No, you’re not, the other person said, no way. If I could show you my face at that moment my confusion…

Keeping it casual
Sometimes there’s nothing special about outfits; they are just the clothes you wear when you go about your life. This day was one of those days. It’s easy, simple enough and comfortable. Sometimes it’s these kinds of outfits that just need to end up on the blog. They need to be blogged to balance the…

Textured Monochrome Outfit
As the storm clouds rolled in yesterday afternoon, I loaded my tired self into the car, Mr Suger and the camera by my side. After a quick change when I arrived home from work we planned to grab some photos on our way out. It was my second attempt to get photos of this jacket…
