There's a glimmer of sunshine out there today so I'm wearing a few pops of colour in readiness. A simple white longline granddad top against my slouchy leopard harem pants makes a good background for an orange silk scarf clashing with a red lip. And I've gone accessories-tastic with an oversized turquoise cocktail ring, teamed with a tangerine enamel cuff and gold chunky chain bracelet. Gold, turquoise, tangerine, red - juicy, ready-for-summer colours. Time for those clouds to clear now.

Snood weather

There's definitely a chill in the air this week. I don't know whether it's just the wind or the temperature drop or both, but it's certainly making me want to wrap up. I bought a snood at the weekend (good old Primarni bargain, £4!) and I'm already chuffed with my purchase. Warm, snuggly and windproof, I like to hide my face in it while I'm standing on a breezy platform waiting for my morning train. Sometimes I even leave it on over a sweater if I'm sat in a drafty office. In fact, the word alone makes me feel snuggly: snood. Snooood. It even sounds cosy. Get one.

Copy cat

I was going through some celeb style blogs yesterday, catching up with who wore what, and spotted someone wearing quite a cute outfit, which inspired my own today. Worn by jewellery designer and socialite Eugenie Niarchos, the outfit consisted of silky cocktail shorts, a fine-knit sweater, opaques, heels and a bold scarf. As I don't own a pair of silky cocktail shorts (yet - they're so going on my list), I went for my faux leather ones, and similarly teamed them with a tucked-in fine-knit sweater, opaques, heels and a scarf. Only my scarf is tied in a way that means I can still move my head, and I chose my wedges instead of stilettos, as I was just going to be in the office all day. If I was heading out, I'd switch wedges for heeled courts maybe, exchange the brown belt for a gold one and perhaps change my knit for a chiffon blouse or silky top. Hmm, might add these ideas to my list of going-out outfits (one can never have too many lists).
