[Aff] One I shot earlier...I've had a few DMs about the dress I wore at my friends wedding this weekend - it is the floral @nobodyschild 'Georgie' - it might look familiar I also have the star print one and I just love the floaty sleeves, the nipped in silhouette, the button detailing and the leg split. I've
just noticed that there is a red and white animal print and I think I need to add it to my wardrobe. Anyone else loving Nobody's Child?

Seeing stars with this beauty of a dress from @nobodyschild. It has everything I love in a dress, billowing long sleeves, a pop of colour and a sexy split - all I needed was a bright coloured wall to make it shine.

I think I say this each time @cathkidston_ltd brings out a new Disney collection but I think the Bambi pieces are my favourite yet and this bag is one of my go-to beauties at the moment and if you love it as well it is now in the sale - snag yourself a January bargain.
...

Oh, Autumn you are pretty special - I do love your changing colours, the apple picking, the cosy nights in front of the fire, picking out the perfect pumpkin, burn a cinnamon candle, wrap up in a chunky cardigan and enjoy a marathon boxset weekend.
...
This gorgeous @cathkidston_ltd x Disney Snow White dress (Gifted) is back in stock as is the bag - shop them on my @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2xG5T #liketkit or head over to my blog.

Out of all my outfits I've worn lately this M&S skirt has definitely been one of your favourites - I've had numerous messages about where I picked it up from, rants on the lack of online stock, as well as sizing.
...
I'm sorry about online - it does seem to keep going in and out of stock - but there are a few sizes available at the moment - snap up easily via @liketoknow.it but I would recommend going in store I bought mine in Canterbury but I've also seen it at the Marble Arch store. With regards sizing I found it very true to size, I'm a 12 and that's what I'm wearing and it feels comfortable.
...
Are you a fan of this fun animal print skirt?
http://liketk.it/2xA84 #liketkit

When in Paris you need a cute stripy jumper right? Well, I found this beauty from @joanieclothing - who I've affectionately called Hennie - and better still it is in the sale - now less than half price - snap it up for your transitional summer-autumn wardrobe.

I've been blogging nearly 10 years, which is so crazy, it has been a fun ride and I do still enjoy it, but I'm considering a new challenge - maybe giving Vlogging a try or even doing a Podcast - and today I got some fab advice from @jaysinstaworld at his Olympus masterclass and got to play with the new E-PL9 which is pretty dreamy in the tan colour.
...
Dress: @asos - I've put it on my @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2x1X0 #liketkit
Belt: Primark
Camera: @olympuspen E-PL9

I'm feel the Insta guilt, you know the not posting on here in a couple of days, but it was super lovely just enjoy the Bank Holiday sunshine and not actually using my phone.
...
Plus, I've been super busy in the garden, weeding is a killer, I've had BBQ every night and it has been so good eating outside, which has been lush, and I went on the most amazing walk through the prettiest bluebell woods.
...
Hope you guys have had just as relaxing weekend as me - I really do think sometimes a break is needed to recharge and I certainly feel better for it.
...

Anyone else counting down the days, hours and minutes until the long weekend - I love Bank Holidays it always calls for a day trip and I'm so excited at the prospect of sunny weather.
...
The only decision left is to decide what to do? Anyone else got fun planned for the weekend?
...
Also, don't forget you can shop my look easily by downloading the LIKEtoKNOW.it app - follow me on the app by searching 'Fashionista Barbie'. http://liketk.it/2vBsL @liketoknow.it #liketkit

Think I might need this cute @asos skirt in every colour - loved the yellow one and couldn't resist the blue one, question is do I need to add the khaki one?
...
There's something about the button detailing and the pockets, plus the great price only £20 and it is so comfortable even in this gorgeous heat.
...
I might as well warn you all now this might become a repeat offender on my feed I love it. Also, anyone else obsessed with buttons lately? I can't get enough.
...
Wanna shop this skirt in all three colours? Follow me on the @liketoknow.it app and screenshot this pic. http://liketk.it/2vrfv #liketkit @liketoknow.it.europe

With this gorgeous spring weather it is only right to embrace it - so for our Sunday afternoon I wore my new bright yellow skirt.
...
I'm kind of addicted to yellow. There's something about wearing sunshine tones that just makes everything better and this is a beauty of a skirt from @asos I'm loving the button details.
...

Been stuck at my desk all day, trying and failing to write up an interview I did, I always tell myself to transcribe interviews as soon as I can and never do and then find myself not even understanding what I'm asking - does this happen to anyone else?
...
So, I ran out of time to shoot some content so I'm throwing back to this @cathkidston_ltd x Disney look that I adore - anytime I get dressed up as Minnie Mouse I'm happy. Plus I wanted to shared with you that CK are having a major sale on the current Disney collection - so many pieces less than half price - I've liked them on my @liketoknow.it so make sure you follow me on the app!

Talking how to make a beret work for you on the blog - I have to be honest I was reluctant to take on this trend with my nose I totally thought I'd look terrible but you know what you just have to get the positioning right for you. For me, that's set back a bit because of my fringe and then tilted slightly to the side. Have you fallen for the beret yet?
...
I've linked to a few of my favourites on @liketoknow.it including a red one like mine, a cute one with a bow at the back and a yellow one I'm considering as my next purchase. http://liketk.it/2v3Gt #liketkit #LTKstyletip #LTKunder50

Sorry I've been a little quiet but you know what sometimes a mini social detox is needed. I started feeling the pressure, this need for a perfect life, more followers, the worry about my content, and took a few troll comments on my DMs to heart.
...
But you know I can only be me, I'm not going to follow anyone else's path, I have my own, and I have to keep reminding myself of this. Anyone else sometimes feel the pressure of Instagram?
...
Love my look? I've added my coat and my @camsatchelco on @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2uWB7 #liketkit

Wouldn't be London Fashion Week without a little rain now would it! I thought I'd cheer the day up with my uber-bright look - a bit of red, ultra violet and pink - it's like I've come dressed as my favourite crayons and I love it.
...
I also saw some amazing fashion again today, seriously #LFW this season has been so good, and I loved Sophia Webster and her Strictly Come Dancing love affair as well as all the sequinned goodness at Paula Knorr. See all my favourites on my Instastories.
...
Have you guys seen anything you've loved at LFW?
...
FYI I've also linked my coat, skirt and bat on @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/2uHPb

It's been the best first day at #LFW that I've been to in a while, so much amazing emerging talent in London and I can't wait to share what I've seen today, promise it will be coming up on my Instastories over the next few days - but I've been to 8 shows so bare with me while I go through all my pics.
...
Also, I wore one of my favourite outfits in a while thanks to this bargain coat that I snapped up for £20 in Primark and I'm so pleased I went for this cute Beret I love it. I also wore my fav boots from @brandattic I've linked on my #liketkit so you can add them to your wardrobe http://liketk.it/2uFQS @liketoknow.it #LTKshoecrush

Yeah well done guys we've made it to the weekend, I've had a super fun but super long week and I'm quite excited that this is the last thing I'm planning to do today. It always feels liberating on a Friday night to turn my mobile off and just enjoy a nice meal with my husband and snuggle on the sofa watching a movie.
.
Have a good one guys because the weekend starts here x

Also, nearly forgot I had lots of people asking about this @missguided coat so I've linked it on @liketoknow.it just screenshot this pic with the LIKEtoKNOW.it app http://liketk.it/2uu8c #liketkit @liketoknow.it.europe #LTKsalealert #LTKunder50

Keeping the Christmas feeling going with my @cathkidston_ltd Minnie Mouse sequin jumper and @publicdesire disco ball boots. Hope you all have a fab Christmas - I'm quite enjoying this downtime before the start of the new year which I'm so excited for - I have a feeling that 2018is going to be a great year.

Hand's up who has had a fab weekend? And, who wants an extra day? It's been a weekend of yummy food, no surprise there, another great roast dinner, a picnic by the lake and omg, yes pancakes. As well as hunting for pieces for the house, unsuccessful but got lots of inspiration. We also had two super fun walks with Falcon by the beach and in the countryside, and we even got lost in a field of corn. Seriously loving this Kent life!!!

Sunday summery vibes. Had an amazing day - went on a super long dog walk around our village, then out to lunch with @sylviassparkles, I had a giant plate of roast potatoes and veg and it was yummy, and then back home to relax in the garden. Doesn't get any better than that.

Also, how cute is this tiered skirt from @Asos - I snagged it for just over £10 in the sale. Snap yours up by screenshot or by 'liking' this pic to shop via the LIKEtoKNOW.it app. http://liketk.it/2snka @liketoknow.it #liketkit #LTKSaleAlert #LTKUnder50 @liketoknow.it.europe #asseenonme

Love these http://liketk.it/2s0LJ @liketoknow.it #liketkit

T-minus 8 days until the big move so of course instead of packing I'm lusting over interiors I snapped at the @Debenhams AW17 press day - I just adore anything @Abigailahern her quirky interiors are so much fun I need it all.

The weekend was so fabulous it really did whizz by so fast. I got to spend the whole time giggling, eating amazing food, chatting with my friends and spending time in secret gardens of Cambridge - all while shimmering in my ruffle skirt - a sale bargain from Asos.
.
I do have one piece of good news, we've finally exchanged on our new house, only 2 weeks later than planned but at least we are one step closer to moving in!!!

Moving house is stressful not only because of packing, which I'm awful at, but because I have no time to shoot great content for the blog or here, so I'm sharing another great pic from the amazing @alex_cameron shoot - one of my favs from the this year, loved the setting and my look. It's strange how just looking at this pic can boost my confidence - Alex really did make it such a comfortable and fun experience.
