Do you have any vintage Laura Ashley pieces? Here are a few of mine which have popped up on this blog before, found in my local charity shop, via eBay and even at a vintage sale in New York (why oh why did I cut the dress). I’m sure this isn’t my last visit to the archives and I’m secretly hoping they reissue a few of the designs. A shorter version of that sailor dress has my name on it. These days fashion trends are a lot broader and increasingly determined by personal style, so I could see some of the collars, lace inserts and country-inspired prints taking on a new lease of life in 2013.
If you’re curious about finding out more Laura Ashley facts, there’s a handy heritage section on their website.

Yep forgetting the battery is one, but I think the even more common one that has caught me out so many times is leaving your camera card in the camera card slot in the side of your laptop, rather than remembering to put it *in* your camera before you head off to your event! 😀

The lovely Amy (@wolfwhistle) invited me to a fashion show at LFW and I FORGOT MY MEMORY CARD. I had left it in my laptop from uploading photos from a show the day before. I just wanted to rewind time- I was so furious with myself!
These pictures are amazing. It's not often a brand has such an amazing heritage these days x

Great drawings hun, how adorable are your photographs, great eye for beauty and angles indeed! I've just bought my first 3.1 PHILLIP LIM mini-Pashli in a plastic and white texture, I'd say it's quite provoking, do tell what you think 😉

Love these photos! I've got a LA dress that was my moms that I wear all the time in the summer. It was really long but I chopped off loads of the fabric to make it short. xx
