Topshop Breton Tshirt Zara Pink Bib Necklace 075

TopShop Breton Stripe Tee
Zara Bib Necklace
The Great Gatsby – F. Scott Fitzgerald
Stoner – John Williams

So, I’ve joined the rest of you and brought this Breton stripe tee from Topshop. T-shirts are definitely a new ‘thing’ for me; I think this is the first time in 10 years I’ve owned more than one. But, I do appreciate the ease at which you can throw one on, tuck it into a skirt and leave the house. This one is a classic, and I’ve mostly been wearing it with my Reiss cornflower blue skirt and gladiator sandals.

I find Zara hit and miss for clothes, but their accessories are always bang on (even if a bit expensive for what they are). This dusty pink bib necklace is great for adding a bit of drama to an otherwise quite plain outfit. I’ve now also got my eye on this clear flower one here!

Finally, I’ve been so busy with work I’ve barely got time to even sit down at the moment, but when I do, I’ve been making the most of below, plus a few books I’ve had for a while.

Me and my man sat down one evening to attempt to watch Baz L’s version of the Great Gatsby; unfortunately, we didn’t get very far (just past the credits). I’m not sure how I feel about Jay Z’s sound track, but we both decided that it looked a bit too Moulin Rouge and not enough Romeo & Juliet so we’ve said we’re going to read the book again before we ruin it with bad music and overzealous artistic direction. So that’s why that one is there; the other, I was somewhat attracted to the book name. Who knows why.

And…finally. Look at this baby. With the excuse that we spend 1/3 of our lives in bed, we jazzed a load of money on this amazing bed from Warren Evans, complete with a Tempur mattress (apparently astronauts use this shit!). It is A-May-Zing. And so is this duvet cover!
