Summer is giving us the runaround at the moment, but I for one am not giving up and refuse to take any nonsense.

It’s August, for Pete’s sake. (Who’s Pete?)

(Now on sale at £45!)

Me and my Summer wardrobe are ready for lazy picnics, cafe-al-fresco-ing and Summer garden parties, thanks to the clever folk at Oliver Bonas. You probably know them for pretty home bits and pieces, excellently priced jewellery and the most delicious hand cream (I own a few)… but don’t forget about their fashion offering, whatever you do…

(This dress is now on sale at £45!)

This jungle frilled midi dress is a bright watercolour print of flowers and leaves – I cut out detail at the back and the fabric tie… and it has a handy zip at the side.

It is also now on sale, from £75 down to £45.

And these trousers are AMAZING. I’ve never owned trousers like them before, but I love the style – they’re so easy to wear and can be worn with a t-shirt or shirt… The first night I had them I spilt spaghetti bolognese on them, and RAN down to the dry cleaner, with a flash of panic in my eyes.

All was well – they got the stain out and these trousers have been on my legs ever since. Apart from when I’m sleeping.

But it’s tempting.
