Simplicity. Lately, I've been placing a greater emphasis on clean, simple pieces, with a statement necklace. Or alternatively loud prints with fine jewellery. I'd say it's likely this is something that I have been doing all along, but have only yet realised. Keeps things unfussy.

I spent part of the weekend staying over at my parents place, as they leave to spend the next five or so months in Greece. It was slightly nostalgic, lying in front of the fire with my mum while watching movies, something that we used to do on a regular basis. We also grabbed Sunday brunch (well, more like lunch), at the Larder - you cannot go past their home-cut potato fries. The best!

  9. I'm loving statement necklaces at the moment too. They dress up the simplest of outfits! And trips home to see the family are always slightly nostalgic I find :)
