Date: Friday 25th May 2012 Place: Barbican Centre, London

Yesterday, we celebrated our anniversary with lunch at St John Bread + Wine, followed by a visit to the Bauhaus exhibition at the Barbican. Lunch was great and the exhibition interesting, but the best part was enjoying the sunshine and soaring temperatures in the public space outside the exhibition hall. Gorgeous!

I wore a loose linen tee in a bold shade of turquoise with a coral lace pencil skirt. I accessorised with white platform sandals, a charcoal grey bag, big sunglasses and coral jewellery.

Today, I chose a super bright ensemble for a super bright day. Summer has arrived in London, and we hope it is here to stay! In celebration, I’m wearing a vibrant empire-line cotton dress in kiwi, fuchsia and purple. I accessorised with metallic purple sandals, a turquoise clutch and big sunglasses.

It’s always good to come home - particularly to sunshine! I’m enjoying a day off today, and I’m wearing a casual dress from Oasis that I bought at Christmas. I thought it was quite a wintry dress, but actually, with sandals and sunglasses, I think it works nicely for summer, too. I picked up these sandals in Kuala Lumpur, and the bag in Amsterdam. The belt came with a different Oasis dress.

Now - what to do for the rest of the day?

LOOK AT THIS WEATHER! This balcony, this view…! I’m usually keen to get home after a trip, but I just want to stay here for a while… However, I have to fly to London via Amsterdam today.

I went for jewel tones this morning, feeling inspired by the day: I’m wearing the turquoise ASOS dress over the purple Zara pants, with heels. Verdict?

Today, I flew from Gran Canaria to Malaga. Oh my gosh, it’s so beautiful here! I had no idea! I’m staying in a really lovely hotel, and I’ve been upgraded to a sea view suite which is rather nice. Here I am, stood on the balcony after a long day of work and travel. I wore my navy ASOS dress - I love these dresses so much, they’re so easy to wear and I feel so chic in them…

Today, a quick day trip to Tenerife. I wore these bright purple trousers (I want to call them slacks) with a turquoise linen top, hot pink cardigan, and pink accessories. The weather was amazing, and if I could take a few days out to just lie on the beach, I would!

Today, I flew from Madrid to Las Palmas wearing this simple tunic dress and blazer. I added heels and a hot pink necklace to give it a bit of va-va-voom!

It was beautiful and sunny when I arrived, but the winds have really got up this evening; it’s still balmy and lovely, but boy oh boy! I feel a bit windswept!

After a very hectic day flying from Nice to Barcelona and Madrid, I finally arrived at my hotel at 2.30am (hence the rubbish photograph - sorry! A girl at BCN airport did take one for me with a better backdrop, but when I looked at it on screen it was totally out of focus.)

I wore my pale pink wrap dress with pink suede ballet pumps, a pale grey belt and a white vest.

Bonsoir from the Cote D’Azur!

Heading to the South of France, it seemed appropriate to wear this glamorous turquoise wrap dress with fuchsia pink beads and heels. I felt very chic at Charles de Gaulle this morning! 

Tomorrow, I will fly to Madrid via Barcelona. It’s going to be a long, busy day! Au revoir ‘til then…

Bonsoir from Paris!

This evening, I am in the city of lights. I flew in from Ireland this afternoon after a good stopover in Dublin. The weather in Paris is glorious - golden sunshine! Mild! A wonderful change from the wind and rain we have had in London lately.

Today, I wore my navy metallic wrap dress beneath a hot pink cardigan and navy blue blazer. I wore grey leggings because Dublin was chilly. I accessorised with this grey patterned scarf, a big corsage and pink suede ballet flats. The bag is made from kimono fabric and was a gift from my boyfriend’s father. 

Bon nuit, mes amis!
