Finally – a bit of sunshine emerges through the clouds. You know what that means? It’s time to wear WHITE (and suncream)


Normally, the closest I’ll get to white workwear outfits is a white shirt. Or super-clean white trainers perhaps. It just seems a bit too dressy to go full-on white sometimes, I don’t know why that is but I always associate white with occasionwear, days at the races and holidays on the beach right?

What I Wore To Work: New Meli Melo Bag & White Finery Workwear



So I went to London Fashion Week and what happened? Other than constantly pinching myself and thinking 'Omg what am i doing here!?'. Just like my time at LFW AW15, I was running around backstage, interviewing makeup artists and stylists and going to shows for Yahoo Style. 


I've been allll over London, wrecked a pair of shoes, bandaged 6 toes, drank about 200 bottles of coconut water  and it has been GREAT fun. Of course it's not all sunshine and roses though , there was a 5:30am start on Saturday and also an absolute wreck of a thunderstorm but here's a full summary and photos of what happened at LFW SS16...

London Fashion Week SS16 Show Summary & Trend Report

Following my special What I Wore To The Weddings last week, I'm back to the corporate grind and bringing you another workwear special!

Normally, I prefer some sort of fancy shirt, slim trouser combination but now that the weather is warming up (please please please please!) I've started cracking out the skirts and skin! That's right - I'm actually braving the elements WITHOUT my trusty black tights!

Today's work outfit is a sheer tartan blouse paired with my favourite royal blue pencil skirt. Armed with my new Ralph Lauren bag in tow, this is a lady-like and elegant look which brings a splash of creative, yet careful, colour to the office.

Tartan Blouse - F&F  £7
Jersey Pencil Skirt - Forever21 ~£11
Lauren by Ralph Lauren Handbag
Cream "fauz-boutin"heels - Hong Kong
Necklace - vintage

What I Wore To Work: Ladylike Lines

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you won’t have failed to spot my constant WEDDING FEED last weekend. 

First of all - sorry for flooding your feed. Second of all - thanks for all those that sent me congrats but it wasn’t MY wedding (awkward). A friend of mine was getting married in The City of London. 

Getting married in 'The City' is a lovely idea – I always assumed I’d want to get married in a country house or picturesque chapel somewhere but I actually really like the idea of getting married amongst the skyscrapers, historic landmarks and glass buildings which make up the heart of London.

Anyway, enough about my future-but-not-anytime-soon-wedding  (at least that’s what I’ll tell Mr FV so he doesn’t freeeak out on me) – let’s bring the focus back to the wedding I DID go to....

Normally I write a “What I Wore To Work Wednesday” post on Wednesdays (surprise) but I figured, hey, a wedding doesn’t come up that often. 

So today, it’s a special edition of “What I Wore To The Wedding Wednesday”. What a treat you guys are in for!


F&F Shift Dress £35
Therapy Quilted Chain Bag £25
Cream Patent Heels from Hong Kong £7


I personally like to change up my outfits, I try not to wear the same dress again and again, so it doesn’t make sense for me to invest in a lovely dress which is over £100. Face Value frequent readers will have realised, I is allllllll about the quantity, not quality.

Supermarket Style?
