Alexa gets it right again at The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. I love this monochrome mini by Moschino.

Must have maxis.

Today I treated myself to a bandeau maxi dress from New Look with flowers all over it - I love the maxi dress and there are so many beautiful ones out there to choose from. Here are some of my favourites off the highstreet. 

Urban Outfitters.

Joie Erykah Maxi Dress.

Miss Selfridge chiffon layer dress.

Asos.

Topshop.

Keira

I can't believe Keira Knightley is engaged - I mean obviously she is beautiful so no surprise that she bagged a man - but I feel like I have grown up with Keira's films for ages and it's strange that she is all so grown up now. She always looks amazing, however her style hasn't always been as good as it is now and over the years she has evolutionised into a style icon. 

I love this dress. Calvin Klein. 2005.

Beautiful details. Rodarte. 2007.

Close-up. Erdem. 2007.

With Sienna. Balenciaga. 2008.

Relaxed and chic. 2010.

Stunning. Valentino. 2011.

I love the panelling. Nina Ricci. 2012.

Looking lovely in the sun. With finace James Righton. 2012.

Book Worm

I love love love reading. Especially by a pool. In the sun. For Paris I bought this book 'The Greatest Love Story Of All TIme' and I loved it. I thought I should recommend and share it.

Paris, je t'adore.

Photo diary of Paris.

The exhibition was amazing. Of course we couldn't take pictures inside which was a shame, but it is well worth a visit. Marc's World.

Me and my friends at the exhibition. I wore a new spotty dress from H&M (far right.)

Cocktails and a meal near the Eiffel Tower at a very chic bar called Le Coq. For our night out I wore a H&M floral top with faux leather collar, leather look leggings and Topshop flats.

Le Tour Eiffel.

Notre Dame.

L'Arc de Triomphe. We climbed it and looked out over Paris.

Second day. I wore H&M blouse with collar clips from ebay, a black jumper because it wasn't the warmest day, Topshop sunglasses and Missguided flats.

Pretty - this was the first time I had seen it at night and it was breathtaking.

One can dream can't they.

Favourite Moment

I came across this photograph by Tim Walker & it has stuck out to me. Perfect photograph. p.s I'm going to Paris tomorrow.... x

Want to be Mischa

Mischa Barton has been my "girl crush" for a very long time - since the OC I have loved her style. In recent years she has had a bit of a downfall but these photos of her from this year show she's got her mojo back.

"The show is filled with energy, from quirky mannequins with animal heads to the animatronic nurses bidding the viewer farewell."
