The high-street shoes to know, a balmy bronzer & spring's cutest cardi
Post-half term bits and pieces
I know I said I wasn't going to send a post out this week as I'm away with the kids. BUT, my daughter's having an extraordinarily long nap (having refused it for the last three days) and it's LFW so I'm feeling fashiony. AND for all of you who have just had half term, I figured a little inbox me-time is due.
So a lickety-split rundown of lovely bits and pieces I've seen over the past couple of weeks.
P.S. please excuse the links, I'm doing this on my phone and can't link text or pics!

Can you believe these super chic suede Mary Janes are from John Lewis?! I saw them at the S/S press day last week and they look way more expensive than £69. Obviously one for when the weather cheers up, but I suspect they’ll sell quickly so perhaps wise to move sooner rather later.

GAP’s CashSoft range is well worth a look. As the name suggests it's super soft - almost like cashmere! - but cheaper (£35) and way less bobbly. I have the sold-out leopard cardi which I cannot stop wearing. The cornflower blue feels fresh and springy. Wear buttoned over Arket’s long sleeve white T-shirt, making sure you can see the white trim at collar and cuffs.

I'm looking for a new balmy bronzer and my very cool magazine editor friend, who has the world of beauty at her fingertips, recommended the below from Merit. Like me, she's fair, so Quince gives her a subtle sunkissed glow. I have one in my basket ready to go on payday.

I had a message the other day from a reader who wanted an easy alternative to jeans. I will explore this more in a future post, but as a quick answer, I'm suggesting cords. They still feel relevant as we head towards spring and will serve as a good bridge between seasons. I find a needle cord is easier to wear than jumbo, plus looks less retro. These from Me + Em are currently on their way to me and I can't wait to chuck them with a denim shirt and tennis trainers.

It's been 150 years of Liberty! My all time favourite department store. To celebrate, I got to take a look at a selection of original prints and fabrics from the archive - which were quite honestly incredible. LOOK!
I’m not an overly floral person, but there's something about Liberty print that is so evocative and timeless. And makes me feel really luxe and fancy. This cute card holder is ideal for throwing into your little playground bag. A good mother's day gift, no?!

Right! Naptime is over.
That's all for now. You're doing great, Frankie x
