Pre-Lash Procrastination

Sophie here!

I'm usually at work on Thursday evenings so it's a foreign snippet of time for me. Instead of filling it with something productive, I was trying to decide which lipstick to wear this evening and it proved difficult... What a hard life. The contenders:

MAC Frost in Costa Chic
MAC Cremesheen in Ravishing
MAC Satin in Myth
MAC Amplified in Saint Germain

I went through a stage of loving orangey shades such as the first two, but I didn't feel brave enough for Costa Chic last night. And since I wore black, pink just wouldn't do.  Barbie? No thanks, Myth it was.

Ready to pardy, as Jamie Laing (drool) would say!

Nautical Notes

Sophie here! :)

Recently, I've been really craving the sunshine and dreaming of a fresh, coastal holiday as a change of scene.  There's also nothing I love more than a striped shirt.  This is a little wishlist of some bits and bobs I'd really like...

Sebago Bala Boat Shoes - £85 Jack Wills Hollingworth Chino - £69 Jack Wills Thelby Cable Sweater - £54 Joules Kingston Shirt - £49.95
For the spring I'm loving the preppy and clean look, focusing on navy, tan, cream and pink colours inspired by the tennis and sailing traditions.  I always think that purpose-built brands such as Sebago or Penfield design much better quality clothing, so they are my first ports of call now.

I'm also trying to improve my skin so I can wear as little makeup as possible, but it would make it easier if I could get some colour in my cheeks.  Someone take me to Martha's Vineyard!

Resisting everything except a bargain.

Meadowcroft Skirt (55% Silk, 45% Cotton) - RRP £69 bought for  £21.60.
Thelby Cable Sweater (100% Lambswool) - RRP £69 bought for £48.60.

 OK, so I decided to have a mini-splurge on some spring items...  These were bought online at 'Jack Wills Outlet', with a promotional offer of an extra 10% off at the check-out.  It was impossible to resist.
