Is there anything better than a lazy Sunday morning, a tasty brunch (our favourite eggs benedict!) and a leisurely afternoon stroll with the dogs? Louie brought this scarf and lovely batik patterned skirt back from a festival in Portugal for me and the light cotton is perfect for this hot weather whilst protecting your skin from the sun! Vest top and sunglasses- Dorothy Perkins, Wedge heels- Clarks, rescued puppy (Lucy)- this seasons must have!- from a selection at Spanish Stray Dogs, Los Barrios.
We came across this beetle on our walk and thought it was stylish enough to include on the blog! They seem to be the Spanish equivalent of ladybirds in terms of colour co-ordination! I'm loving the geometric prints which fit in very well with all the tribal prints we're seeing right now.
It was my boyfriend's birthday last Monday and, as he was still recovering from a 2 week stag do on Monday, we waited until Friday night to go out to dinner. I booked a table for us, his sister and her fiance who live round the corner from us in Spain, and his parents who are visiting us at a beautiful restaurant overlooking the water and millionaire mansions on the other side. If you ever are in Gibraltar and want delicious seafood and intriguing Jamaican fusion food, try The Landings on Queensway Quay.
I was in a slightly gothic mood and dressed down this musical score dress with bold accessories and smoky eye make-up. I bought it in a wonderful retro style boutique in Ocean Village but I can't for the life of me remember the name- I will post back with it next time I go past there.
Shoes- Next Vintage (as before)
Owl Necklace- Algeciras Market

Friday was my first day in a new job after a glorious 6 weeks off. It's never easy being the new girl- especially when you haven't been up before 11am in well over a month- but wearing something that makes you happy makes it a little easier! This adorable 50's style dress is from a small boutique in Gibraltar called Florida, where I picked it up for only £20. I love the netting and the way the skirt swirls when you turn round fast! The shoes are vintage Next (my Mum's before mine) and the necklace was a gift from my boyfriend and photographer, from Swarovski.
