Warning: this post will give you severe wardrobe envy. And accessory envy. And hair envy, come to that. I’ve only just discovered Pink Peonies but I’m already totally hooked. Blog owner Rachel – a cross between Jenna Dewan and Shailene Woodley, grrr lucky girl – has an incredibly eclectic taste in clothes, and manages to look fantastic every single time. Preppy, neon, nautical, Hepburn, Rachel’s posts are a sartorial smorgasbord… and most importantly full of high street pieces, so it never feels out of reach the way some fashion blogs do. What do you think of Rachel’s style?

Checking out the A-list’s fashion choices at Cannes is like a sport to me. Every year I eagerly await this joyous week, knowing that the stars are gonna pull out all the stops. And this year, it’s even more exciting because Kruger, my no.1 style crush, is a member of this year’s Jury. I don’t know what this means in terms of her job description (although I’ll bet it’s more glamourous than regular jury duty), but what I do know is that she’s going to be hitting the red carpet… a lot. And she’s already given us a taster by blowing away the competition in mint Giambattista Valli. If she starts parading Pacey in front of the paps on top of wearing beauties like this, I think I’ll die of happiness.

I mean, seriously.

To celebrate the start of Celebs-on-Sea Week, here are some of my favourite looks from Cannes gone by:

I’ve currently got a massive craving for coral. During a recent shopping trip I found myself homing in on anything remotely related to the colour. So when I saw this interior on Pinterest, it made me instantly want to turn it into an outfit based around coral jeans… and you know what? It’s turned out pretty peachy! It also makes me desperate to invest in that stunning DVF scarf. Tell me, lovely readers, would you wear this room?

{1. Diane Von Furstenberg sugar stripe scarf – £100 / 2. Andea silver tear drop earrings – £35 / 3. Vince silk tank top – £135 / 4. Matalan coral skinny jeans – £16 / 5. Banana Republic skinny bangle – £20 / 6. New Look zig zag ballet pumps – £12.99 / 7. Warehouse white tab clutch – £20}

So it used to be that I was jealous of Jessica Alba’s ridonkulous body… now it’s her one-in-every-colour jeans collection. Ok, and her body (the woman’s had two children for chrissakes, there’s gotta be witchcraft involved). Anyway, back to her bright skinnies, they just make me happy. She colour-blocks, mixes with black, white and neutrals, and generally rocks every look. The brightest pair I own are a rather fetching maroon – word of warning though, they’re kind of a man repeller, I think my fiancé finds them a little ‘children’s TV presenter’ for his taste – but Alba really makes me want to take it a step further. What do you think? Are you on board with this trend?

Hope you’ve all enjoyed the lovely extra day off for the Bank Holiday! Mine has thankfully been spent catching up on some much-needed downtime. For today’s post I wanted to highlight how absolutely uh-may-zing Aldo is at the moment. If you haven’t visited in a while… or ever… then I urge you to go. Seriously, people. It’s full of the perfect accessories to round off your outfit, and the cheerful hues of yellow, coral and aqua are delicious. Now all we need is some sunshine (any, day, now) and we’ll be ready for the Summer season:
